Hiya. Obama cannot help being black. Trump can help being all the things that he is. Small, but I think you'll find, crucial, detail.

That is undeniably true. However, my point still stands.

With Trump being one of those malice bearing conspiracy theorists. Pot kettle black.

Ironically, I really am enjoying the Trump Presidency, but yeah. I'd pretty much agree, its what happens when the choice is between someone who doesn't serve the agenda of the majority, and someone who deceives they represents the agenda of the majority.

Ironically, you had a candidate who represented interests of capital and big business, and a candidate who pretended they wouldn't.

The irony is that Trump isn't the problem, he's the symptom of a system that is inherently biased towards the interests not of voters, but wealth and the wealthy.

Yet he's the biggest elitist of them all, who does nothing to help anyone but those of his own ilk, and actively damages the lives of middle and working class Americans. What irony.

A couple of observations:

1) Obama put together the longest unbroken streak of private sector job growth in American history - dropping unemployment from over 10% to under 5% in the process;

2) Job growth (and GDP growth) has slowed under Trump, despite his claims to the contrary ("biggest ever!")

3) With a booming stock market, solid job growth, low unemployment, low interest rates, low inflation etc. etc., why would the sitting President be so deeply unpopular?

Each new poll has his approval ratings dropping deeper into the 30s while, more alarmingly for him, his disapproval ratings are soaring into the 60s. Trump won Alabama last year by a margin of +28%. While not on the ballot this year, exit polls asked for approval / disapproval of Trump's performance, and the result was 48% approve, 49% disapprove. In a year he went from +28% to -1%...in deep red Alabama!

Yesterday, he called a sitting US Senator a whore on Twitter. A literal whore, as in someone who would have sex for money.

There is good reason for the vitriol directed at Trump.

A few words about the Alabama Senate race. Roy Moore was an absolute embarrassment to the GOP. Nobody in the Senate wanted him, especially Mitch McConnell and Alabama's highly conservative senior senator, Richard Shelby. He went out of his way to say that he disapproved of and would not vote for Moore. In addition to the sexual misconduct allegations, he consistently violated the U.S. Constitutions prohibition against applying religious tests as stated in Article VI. This caused him to be removed as Chief Judge of the Alabama Supreme Court (an elected position) not once but twice. He has stated his preference for the days when slavery was permitted in the U.S. Had he won, he would have been the Democrats chief example of how bad the GOP is. Now they have Trump, who just described my Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, as willing to prostitute herself for a campaign donation.

It is interesting to see how the 'left' react whan they get a taste of their own medicine.

It's child-like hate.

White collar rednecks.

It's the level it's at that gets me.....I mean, sure...slag off a politician you don't like.....but it goes far beyond that.

At some point you deal with the policies and stop calling people names.....well some of us do.
