(40,252 posts)This is my theory, the world is full of suckers. People fall for bullshit every hour of every day. That is why there is a trillion dollar cosmetic industry. It is human nature to be conned. Trump figured out that you may not be able to fool all the people all the time, but you can get whatever you want if you fool enough of them.

(20,047 posts)All a sleazebag has to do is inherit half a billion dollars and hire some corrupt, highly paid lawyers. Then you can bribe/settle or use the lawyers as a weapon to threaten/intimidate/sue your way out of most any predicament. You may lose a few cases in court if somebody has the nerve, money, and time to come after you, but you've got plenty of money in the bank to cover it and move on.
Agree that Trump is a symbol of an American system corrupted by greed and bigotry.

(63,221 posts)Trump has made me believe that an Anti-Christ exists. If Christ was the embodiment of love and kindness, Trump is the embodiment of evil and hatred.

He really is controlled by the devil/darker forces.

(8,090 posts)with his ill-gotten gains protecting him and giving him "promotions'? Or when he threw rocks at a toddler in a playpen, with probably no punishment.

That is why Republicans want smaller government.

No Electoral College no Dubya either. Nice system when you can lose but win.
