JC seems to believe that the amount of one’s assets is a guarantee that one is rational, reasonable and sane. I could cite Paris Hilton, several rock stars and sports heroes or even J Paul Getty, who had pay phones throughout his mansion so that his employee’s wouldn’t make calls on his bill. But rather, I will just make reference to the Trump faux pas that convinced me that he wasn’t playing with a full deck.
When the Democratic convention put the Muslim-American man who had lost a son in a Middle Eastern conflict on the stage to berate Donald’s call to stop Muslim immigration, they committed a major blunder. Anyone with even half a brain would have simply said that he sympathised with their loss, but that it had nothing to do with present Muslim immigration problems. He would have further pointed out that it was unconscionable of the Democrats to use this man’s grief as a political ploy.
But Donald didn’t do that. Rather, he sat, looking directly into the camera, and stated that he also had made many sacrifices. Possibly, he was referring to his inability to have more than one wife at a time; we’ll never know. I don’t know where you come from JC, but where I come from we refer to someone who thinks that way as a moron.
The sadist part of this election is that Donald was right on the money about the illegal immigration problems that America has and about terrorists infiltrating Muslim immigration and that is what brought him his grassroots support. But he managed to undermine that support by a string of stupid statements and actions that convinced many people that wanted to support him that he was not fit to be president. Those supporters have been left hung out to dry by a man you consider to be pragmatic and brave.
