Around half of voters decided to take a chance on an egomaniac psychopath liar. I’m shocked and surprised.
I disagree with pretty much everything Drumpf. The next 4 years will be a disaster for the USA and the world. 😦

Trump empowers the Alt-Right
Do you know Pepe the frog?
Pepe is a cartoon-strip creature used as a symbol of right wing extremists. Extremists like Drumpf’s son Donald Trump Jr. who proudly shared this image on Instagram.
Gov. Mike Pence, Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Ben Carson, both of Trump’s eldest sons, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, alt-right icon Milo Yiannopoulos, and Roger Stone.
I first started following American politics because of the Tea Party, a backward, negative, semi-racist and homophobic collection of zealots and hypocrites. Looking back, Michele Bachmann’s antics seem almost laughable.
The Alt-Right is far, far worse. 😦
And they’ve come to public attention because an egomaniac psychopath has had success spouting their hateful rhetoric.
In earlier years, the movement — which combines elements of racism, anti-Semitism, and a general preference for nationalist strongmen over the candidates of either party — was mostly confined to the realm of dark web message boards, 4chan, and obscure blogs. About a year ago, they burst onto the scene and established a new home for themselves in Donald Trump’s campaign.
Breitbart News is the most prominent site for the Alt-Right.
The New York Times describes Breitbart News as a “curiosity of the fringe right wing”, with “ideologically driven journalists”, that is a source of controversy “over material that has been called misogynist, xenophobic and racist”, and is now a “potent voice” for Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign
Drumpf recently named chairman of Breitbart News – Stephen Bannon – his campaign CEO. A nasty man.
I’m depressed for Americans stuck in a nation with so many people willing to support the Alt-Right candidate. 😦

How Donald Trump ushered a hateful fringe movement into the mainstream
Drumpf could start a World War
Donald Trump loves war.
“I would bomb the shit out of them.”

Of course that would results in even greater retaliation. Exactly the WRONG thing to do in response to terrorism.
Best strategy is to withdraw troops from the Middle East. Work covertly against ISIS and other terrorist groups. Eventually they’ll resume attacking each other. Forget about the West.
Iraq worse off today than under Saddam
A total waste of American tax dollars. The USA was attacked by terrorists from Saudi Arabia and Yemen … so G.W. Bush attacked a different nation, one which did not even like bin Laden. 😦
They ruined Iraq.
Made the region far less stable. Saddam Hussein was terrible. But most people in Iraq would agree they were better off with him than since. 😦
Watch an excellent BBC mini-documentary – How did Iraq get so violent?
the World hates Trump
Just back from my 3rd trip overseas in 2016, everyone I meet abroad hates Donald Trump.
Paul Thomas – New Zealand Herald in July, 2015
Trump personifies everything the rest of the world despises about America: casual racism, crass materialism, relentless self-aggrandisement, vulgarity on an epic scale. He is the Ugly American in excess. …
Drumpf fans, I expect, are happy when the world hates the USA. And that’s sad. 😦
stop North Korea
More needs to be done. Imagine a world where Drumpf – and this even worse egomaniac – both have access to nuclear weapons. 😦
… On Mr Obama’s watch the nuclear-weapons and missile programme of North Korea has become steadily more alarming. Its nuclear missiles already threaten South Korea and Japan. Sometime during the second term of Mr Obama’s successor, they are likely also to be able to strike New York. Mr Obama put North Korea on the back burner. Whoever becomes America’s next president will not have that luxury. …
North Korea is thought to have a stockpile of around 20 devices. Every six weeks or so it adds another. …
A nuclear nightmare
It is past time for the world to get serious about North Korea’s nuclear ambitions
Ideally the world would strike a deal with North Koreans who want Kim gone. Depose him for better leadership.
Happy Nazis in Auschwitz
Normal people capable of pure EVIL. 😦

Makes me worry about Trump and his supporters.
Why You Should Care About Nukes
There’s a fairly good chance that you and I will die as a result of nuclear weapons. 😦

The more egomaniac psychopaths with access to the bomb, the sooner we die.
He’s dangerous.
Donald Drumpf said he would be open to Japan and South Korea building nuclear weapons to deter North Korea, and would consider withdrawing troops from both American allies unless they paid more for their own defence. …
Here’s a list of companies we should be boycotting. They PROFIT from nuclear weapons.

The Cartel – A Novel
If you’ve ever wondered how nobs like this peasant-farmer-turned-billionaire-drug-lord can exist, read The Cartel: A novel by Don Winslow .
Though it’s getting great reviews, I found it too long. Too violent. The ending not believable.
The rights holders want Leonardo DiCaprio to play the role of Keller, the (so called) good guy of the story.

Republican Party anti-Islamic rhetoric
Led by Trump, most the GOP candidates are rushing to blame their problems on a minority. As they have in the past.
