  11.  @stansukhwant-ms8bz  Really? What is the source of your information. I ask because as I see it Wall Street owned both of them, but Trump was too out front about the undermining of the middle class that they have been doing for fifty years. It was embarrassing. The largest transfer of wealth from everybody to the one percent took place under Trump. Look it up. All the millionaires got permanent tax breaks, while the rest of us got temporary tax breaks. The biggest financial bubble of stock values took place under Trump. Also he ran up the national deficit farther and faster than any other president in history. Cutting taxes and increasing military spending will do that. You may not remember it but when Clinton left office the nation had no deficit at all, in fact it had a surplus. The idiot Bush took care of that by invading a country for 9/11 that had nothing to do with 9/11. I could go on forever. The main point to remember is this. The real money behind Trump is Robert Mercer, who is the most successful hedge fund manager in the world and owns the largest house and compound on long Island, and Koch Industries which are the worst polluters in the USA. They are as Wall Street as you can get, and even the traders and banksters were ecstatic when Trump won, because they knew a fellow confidence artist when they met one. You may remember that Trump lost in NY and lost big in NYC. That is simply because they were aware of what a disaster and con artist he was, and the small town rubes in the rust belt that put him in office had no idea what he really was outside of the illusion he spun on TV of being a great businessman. While the reality is that he lost more money than anyone else in the country for ten years strait. Unfortunately his enablers depended on lies instead of facts and he supplied them in spades. Trump told over 22,000 documented lies since he took office and hasn't let up for one minute. Here's the most important fact. Both the republican and the democratic parties are virtually owned by the same few families and they have nothing good in store for you and me.

  12.  @ssn90  To me it is totally frightening that so many otherwise apparently normal and even good people have fallen for his authoritarian bull. But even someone with virtually no political smarts, if exposed to the actual facts should be able to come to a conclusion that is not against their own best interests. The main problem is, as you mentioned the amount of disinformation that is served up to the public as factual. Even if the facts are correct, the entire milieu of their narrative is often diversionary and false. But look at this fact: The biggest polluter in the country is Koch Industries. Since the right-wing radicals under Trump took over, they no longer have to follow EPA guidelines at all regarding what they dump into the water table and our streams and rivers. Have you ever visited the Appalachian coal regions, especially in PA. Streams with no life at all, forests that grow to forty feet then all die because their roots hit poisoned water, roads so thick with coal dust from trucks that every car that passes raises a toxic black cloud. Community after community devastated by pollution and economic collapse, yet they go on stripping, go on burning the crap for electricity, and there are no miners at all anymore, none that go down into mines that is. The people that own these big mines do not live there. They wouldn't live there is you paid them. Trump lied about clean coal. The entire idea of clean coal is ridiculous yet these devastated communities are some of the most staunch and violent Trump supporters anywhere. It leads one to conclude that the vast majority of Trump supporters cannot tell reality from the disinformation planted in their heads, and the disinformation coming from a source like PBS and a Trump rally are not even in the same universe. Trump is a lying, thieving, draft-dodging, mental defective. That is apparent to anyone who just looks at the real facts and ignores the hype.
