Hitler could make people angry, pumped, and discontent
Trump can make people stupid, docile, and sedated

I wonder how anyone can listen to that stupid man and believe the stupidity he spews.

I try to limit my research to him through articles.

I avoid the videos of him.

I watched the debates.

I watched several of his campaign rallies and have seen thousands of clips on various

news and political programs.

I try to avoid having to see his face.

I just fly into a rage whenever I hear his name mentioned. The sight of him or the sound of his voice drives me completely berserk!

I mean HATE. Never met him, just know of him due to media. But....

Heard of such things, hate on sight. Suffered this only two times, other than this, in my life.

But I just never crossed paths with them ever again.

This time however...

Absolutely not. Donald Trump was sheltered by $$$ growing up in NYC. We can see beyond the facade. Nothing in common whatsoever by the average Native New Yorker. It is ingrained in our genes to not "buy a bridge".

I'm real good at the mute button. He's never said anything worth noting, and never will.

since his New Hampshire victory speech.

But that has been true of any of them. I could not stand to listen to Bush, and after about 2010 I could not stand to listen to Obama.

There is nothing asswipe may say that will not be covered by a slobbering media immediately thereby avoiding seeing his slimy behavior while still learning the consequences of his deranged actions.

Asswipe is truly a disgusting person that adds nothing to my existence or our country's.

While, I'm sure, the orange orangutan will do extreme damage to the quality of my life (and many others) there is not a fucking thing I can do to avoid it.

He is a mad genius at manipulating the media and is in the process of destroying this country while the M$M plays the fool in allowing and promoting it.
