I love all people. No matter their race, religion, gender or any things like that. I still don't see the problem some people have with me. I'm slightly autistic, that's all.
Trump is not a good businessman.
He is not good for the economy.
Your fears of Islam are not warranted.

PSA: Stop calling Jeff Sessions as Jeffery Sessions. His name is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, after three people: Jefferson Davis, general Beauregard, and what I am assuming was a third confederate with the last name Sessions.

Trump is a good businessman.

He may or may not be good for the economy.

My fears of Islam are somewhat warranted. I'm not afraid of Muslims, but I am afraid of terrorists. Cos that's what they do, they cause terror. London just had a terrorist attack, done by a Muslim. That's a problem. People died. Tens of people got injured.

Can your worldview be any more simplistic?

You realise that in some ways old-school Republicans are scarier than Trump?
In what way does Trump want to relax the war on drugs? One of the first acts of his new AG was to essentially re-criminalize weed.

He's also told law enforcement officials that he's going to be more ruthless in the war on drugs not less.

It's tough to be woke when you are 0/3 on such an easy question.

Please lay out for me how Trump is a good businessman and not a good con man.

He's done thousands of deals and has had only like four of them end in a bankruptcy.

That would be his great-great-grandfather.

Trump is good at ripping people off in various ways (Trump university, ripping off contractors, selling people cheap clothing made in sweatshops in Asia while claiming "America First"). He's actually pretty good at lying to people and using racial demogoguery to divide and incite people. But those aren't incredibly difficult things to do.

When it came time to actually put together a real Muslim Ban, Trump didn't even try. He just put forth a half-assed ****ty effort, it got destroyed in court, rinse and repeat. He didn't negotiate a genius deal on that. When it came time to negotiate on Health Care, he just let Paul Ryan write the bill. He didn't even try to conduct extended negotiations. Even if he were to pass the bill, it would be AWFUL for the people who voted for him--that's bad business.

How is it wrong to say Trump may or may not be good for the economy? It's 100% correct. You just like to disagree cos you're an ass.

But you are boldly misinformed and posting like you are not. Trump is ramping up the war on drugs. Republicans at every level are going to war against abortion. These are simple facts you are unaware of.

You don't know the difference between a "deal" and a "company," which I think your average 9 year old does.

That might be true. But at times during the campaign, he said he's not gonna be that hard on drugs and I remembered those times and that was confirmation bias on my part.

I see what you did there.

But, the again, he seems to take a real interest in posting in politics given that it seems he was born yesterday.
Definitely got a troll vibe from a couple of his posts, but I do believe that he is sincere.

We have to keep in mind that America's government is very complicated to those who haven't grown up in it. I'd run out of digits before counting the amount of times I've had to explain the EC to people in Europe only to have them leave with an even more confused look than they had before asking.

It's going to get lost in all the news today, but team Trump is trying to throw Flynn under the bus.

raheem is sincere. But he's a bit off. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, except for the confidence in which he speaks about issues he is ignorant about. As I've said before, with the amount of news and misinformation Trump peddles, it is basically impossible for the average person to actually be informed.

True. Has he had thousands of companies? Maybe he hasn't. Maybe you're right. I'm still trying to understand.

Good for trump is not the same as good for the economy. You are intentionally misleading by suggesting he may be good for the economy when almost everything he has done is only good for him, and doesn't help or actively hurts the economy. But his hotel is doing great!
