I can't believe Trump is even a candidate, much less a leading one. This country is crazy.

He's got my vote. I guess people forget that the guys who founded this country, and designed it from the ground up, were mostly businessmen and farmers, not career politicians.

I agree we don't need more career politicians doing more of the Same **** that got us In the position we are in. Obama promised change and the only thing that changed is how much more money I'm giving up to live.

Oldier but Goodie
It's getting close to 20 Trillion dollars
THE DEBT CEILING:
I love it when a complicated situation can be explained in such simple terms!
* Democrats don't understand THE DEBT CEILING
* Republicans don't understand THE DEBT CEILING
* Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING
* NO ONE understands THE DEBT CEILING
* SO, allow me to explain.
Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling.
What do you think you should do --
1. raise the ceiling, or
2. pump out the ****?
Your choice is coming next November

First off, why do politicians who claim to be professionals suck so bad at it. This country should be operating as a well oiled machine. We should not be broke, we should not be giving away free perks, communist democrats are giving away the farm in order to stay in power. Does no one get the fact that the US gov't does not generate money as in a business; they take it and then give it away.

They proved they were "crazy" in 2008 and validated that fact once again in 2012.

I'm not a fan of either party. The two party system is antiquated and corrupt. Politicians (and businessmen masquerading as them) from both sides are all too similar. Unfortunately their claws have sunk in too deep to be pulled out now. I'm concerned about the future of our country.
I want to go back to what this country seemed like it was built on. Hard work. I want a candidate with strong service in their background... whether that means military, police, fire, public service, etc. I want someone educated and experienced with a world perspective, someone with an open mind. I want someone who won't be corrupted. Someone who has worked toward something bigger than themselves and their own bank account. Is that too much to ask?

My Question is why is this posted in General Discussion? it will only be a matter of time Before a Argument breaks out and Gets moved to Political Forum.
But I like Watching Trump Because he is Bat **** Crazy, and says whatever comes to mind. He has no Filter, He would make a great Comedian.

This Country has always had corruption in politics, banking and law. I think there is just more people and more of it now. I'm not a fan of Trump but I am less of a fan of having a leader with no backbone. I have no idea how people could even think of voting in another Clinton or Bush. Heck, It was during the Bush and Clinton watch the Glass Steagall act was gutted, Nafta was implemented and the commodity futures act of 2000 to name a few.
But is he crazy or just is he brutally honest? I tend to think the latter. But I agree, sometimes he needs a filter.

The best thing about Trump is that is is not afraid to say things career politicians will NEVER say because they are to worried how that will impact their career, even if they are strongly in favor of or opposed to the particular subject! Trump causes discussion that NEEDS to be had. Weather or not he has the correct solution is a different matter!
FILTERS are a major factor in what has us in the condition we are in!

He has some very valid points,
Unfortunately some are also blinded, duped or too conned, corrupted to actually believe,
that it's "actually" working as it was supposed to or to actually see any of the problems sometimes too...
It's pretty much a spot on description too...
Reality whether you like Trump or not...

Great analogy...LOL

A striking number of leading mental health experts are concerned enough about the possibility of a Trump presidency that they’re willing to speak out, publicly, about the candidate’s “Textbook narcissistic personality disorder.”
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, developmental psychologist Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education, referred to Trump as “remarkably narcissistic,” while clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis used the term “Textbook narcissistic personality disorder,” to describe Trump.
Michaelis went on to explain,
“In the field we use clusters of personality disorders. Narcissism is in cluster B, which means it has similarities with histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. There are similarities between them.”
Going on, Michaelis described Trump’s constant belittling of other people as a ‘symptom’ of a deeper problem.
“To degrade people is really part of a cluster-B personality disorder: it’s antisocial and shows a lack of remorse for other people. The way to make it O.K. to attack someone verbally, psychologically, or physically is to lower them. That’s what he’s doing.”
Michaelis expressed his concerns about a Trump presidency, saying,
“He’s applying for the greatest job in the land, the greatest task of which is to serve, but there’s nothing about the man that is service-oriented. He’s only serving himself.”
Indeed, narcissism is characterized with by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, as well as a lack of concern or empathy toward others.
While it was once thought that narcissists were overcompensating for low self-esteem, the latest research suggests that narcissistic personality disorder is defined by a sincere belief that you are superior to others.
According to Psychology Today, “the latest evidence indicates that narcissists are actually secure or grandiose,” not just on a superficial level, but on a subconscious level as well.
A person with narcissistic personality disorder:
Reacts to criticism with anger, shame or humiliation
Takes advantage of others to reach his or her own goals
Exaggerates own importance
Exaggerates achievements and talents
Entertains unrealistic fantasies about success, power, beauty, intelligence or romance
Has unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment
Requires constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
Disregards the feelings of others, lacks empathy
Has obsessive self-interest
Pursues mainly selfish goals
“He’s very easy to diagnose,” psychotherapist Charlotte Prozan told Vanity Fair. “In the first debate, he talked over people and was domineering. He’ll do anything to demean others,” she said.
George Simon, a clinical psychologist who specializes in manipulative personalities, told Vanity Fair that Trump is “so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example of his characteristics.” He went on to say that without Trump, he “would have had to hire actors and write vignettes,” to illustrate the narcissistic personality disorder for his students. He described the candidate as “a dream come true,” at least from the perspective of having a boatload of free material to use during student lectures.
Licensed clinical social worker Wendy Terrie Behary pointed out that narcissists often have a deliberately distorted interpretation of reality.
She explained;
“Narcissists are not necessarily liars, but they are notoriously uncomfortable with the truth. The truth means the potential to feel ashamed. If all they have to show the world as a source of feeling acceptable is their success and performance, be it in business or sports or celebrity, then the risk of people seeing them fail or squander their success is so difficult to their self-esteem that they feel ashamed. We call it the narcissistic injury. They’re uncomfortable with their own limitations. It’s not that they’re cut out to lie, it’s just that they can’t handle what’s real.”

Sounds to me that the article above describes the current occupant of the White House perfectly.
