Harrystottle   10 #676 Posted August 13, 2017 "Has anyone ever wondered why the mainstream media constantly produce as much insignificant drivel on TRUMP as they do?"  Because he's an outsider? The tide of western mainstream politics is flowing towards open borders and a diminution of the nation state. The office of the President of the United States is now occupied by someone who completely goes against that. The political mainstream on both sides want him out.

The tide of western mainstream politics is flowing towards open borders and a diminution of the nation state. The office of the President of the United States is now occupied by someone who completely goes against that. The political mainstream on both sides want him out.  they also produce lots of significant non-drivel on trump.  beyond appealing to some sort of 1850's nostalgia, no one has produced anything convincing that going against "open borders and a diminution of the nation state" would produce anything significantly better than we have now.  as regards Trump, then he may be very good at building hotels and golf courses but that doesn't really qualify him to be president of anything more than the local chamber of commerce.

Harrystottle   10 #681 Posted August 13, 2017 or maybe...just maybe he creates so much crap around him its hard to ignore all the "drivel"? but theres nothing like trying to romanticise him  he will NEVER be Robin Hood  I'm not trying to romanticise him or make him Robin Hood at all. The reason we get the two minute Trump hate every day on TV news isn't because he creates crap, it's because he believes in the wrong things. In politics you can be as nasty a person as you want as long as you profess to believe what the mainstream believes. Go against it and you will be set on.
