What Legacy Does Trump Leave?

[Mrs.Anteater]

Have you read "Strongmen: From Mussolini to the Present" (or close) by Ruth Ben-Ghiat? She outlines the characteristics of strongmen starting with Mussolini. She speaks of Hitler and others through time, including current. She makes a good argument that trump belongs in that group.

No, I haven't. Not sure if I want to, because it seems all so obvious that I don’t really need to dwell on it more.

If one reads into literature, as a large field to get into, does one get literate or tend to move better in the area of literacy?

There are many tyrannical powers that did believe it best if people were kept illiterate! They are like rockets, utilize that much power and the exhausting is exponential ... fouls the atmosphere as a bobble of, what else ... air! Thus secretive and sacred messages just below the surface because those adhering to power despise any counter opinions, resemble ante rooms ... (stake put up by gamblers in closed spaces) because it is your mammon they are betting on! Here we encounter Memnon's, or disposed thoughts and minds as mindless wonder ... Memnon is biblical and few know what it stands for ... pious stance? Here mental process is seized by something other! The electric meme theory is shocking ... there is even a tome on it ... written by a physicist! Ares Theme ...

I totally understand.

Concession of 5 More Good Things Achieved by Donald Trump's Presidency from an otherwise Hostile Hispanic:

Like It or Not: Here’s 5 Good Things About Trump’s Presidency

AFP via GettyWith former President Donald Trump making another White House bid in 2024, I’m forced to think about something that, frankly, I’d prefer not to think about: the handful of things Trump did right.Here’s the backstory: I often wonder if I could have supported Trump, and become a...

So these good things trump has done make it okay that he's an adjuducated sex abuser(rapist), fraudster, con, criminally indicted multiple times, etc?

How would you respond if this were Biden who'd had all these charges etc? Or Kamala Harris? Or Obama? Or Hillary Clinton?

When we excuse let's say, a domestic abuser, as a wonderful person who's so nice and so charming, we're being codependent and are giving that person licence to continue as an abuser.

Even the most vile murderer or abuser has a "nice" side.

Trump admits that he is both at his worst and at his best when he speaks unscripted--which is most of the time.
Half the country loves his lack of political savvy, even though they agree with him that he gets is trouble by speaking inaccuracies off the cuff.
They prefer that to Biden's packaged scripted insincere rhetoric, so typical of politicians. As I said, I don't think Trump is right for POTUS, but, like most of my friends, he will get my vote because of the even worse alternative. Sad situation for the USA.

Please answer my questions @Mystic. If you can.

How would you and the others who love trump respond if these indictments, characteristics, etc were in the people I mentioned above.

You can start with whichever person you prefer.

Is Mystic revealing something about himself as he refuses to say things, answer questions ... searches for more power?

I repeat: King David was a murderer and an adulterer, and yet, is the only person in the Bible described as "a man after God's own heart." You project onto me the false implication that I consider Trump "a wonderful person" to duck the fact that even someone as morally flawed as Trump has endearing positive aaspects to his character. But then as a woker, you are a goose-stepping follower of cancel culture. Sigh, so I guess I need to repeat: Trump is morally unqualified to be president, but his presidential policies accmplished wonderful results that make him preferable to Biden.

Would you be equally generous if it were any of the people I mentioned?

BTW, most people stop name calling as young children. Throwing out the name "woker" and making incorrect assumptions like "goose-stepping follower of cancel culture" only makes you look like an immature ass.

Clearly you are incapable of thinking beyond your world view.

Excuse trump all you want. You'll be on the wrong side of history.

Yes, if they were even remotely as compassionate as the examples cited for Trump.

I'm glad the appropriate label stings. Jesus called the Pharisses "hypocrites" and "generation of vipers."

Clearly you are incapable of thinking beyond your world view.

You mean, you're confident Trump will be reelected President? I've predicted his defeat and, in that respect, I think I'm on the right side of history.

 

[Northwind]

Don't flatter yourself. Your name calling only makes you look bad. It doesn't sting in the least. I'd have to have even some respect for you for it to sting.

When we excuse bad behaviour by saying they're good, we are codependent.

Al Capone ran a soup kitchen. He was still a mobster.

I repeat: King David was a murderer and an adulterer, and yet, is the only person in the Bible described as a man after his own heart.

He also repented his sins.
You're insulting God here, IMO.

Good point. When has trump ever repented his sins, nevermind admit he was wrong?

So you're saying you're just like Jesus? I'm guessing you'll find some convoluted way to affirm that. Impressive.

Demonix ... or democrats burning at the stakes presented to make the 2% win more? Charismatic flames take their toll ... winning is the life of physics ... and then there are those on the other side ... not to mention the tough medium! Poles are chosen for those wishing to accelerate and inflate winning ... flat liners of the other, kind of out there? Imagine that its a drag ... being on a pole!

Mystic, what do you mean by cancel culture? I am for making everyone accountable for what they say and do including people privileged by gender or race or wealth. I am against people repeating misinformation and disinformation including health and political leaders. I am against racism which is why I am against supporting Israeli abuse of Palestinians and the recognition of all of Jerusalem as a Jewish city
