Why America Voted For Trump ....

[naomi24]

... according to a Detroit car repair shop owner.

 

When asked by a British reporter he said 'You guys over there in England just don't get it.  Sure we know Trump is a jerk.  I knew Trump was a jerk when I voted for him yesterday.  But he's OUR jerk.  And even jerks can get things done.  I'm something of a jerk myself.  But I run a great little business here in Detroit'.

That probably sums it up nicely.

As long as the things that get done are helpful. We shall wait & see but there ought to be a limit on "America first, beggar the rest" and, on "Stop the war, let opposing tyrant empires take what they want". Time will tell what actually is tried.

Doesn't sound like a UHP to me just a realist!

There is apparently a syndrome going round the liberals....

My brother says he'll handle the next 4 years by having a laugh.

His words...he's//... adopted an attitude for the next Trump administration. Be ready to laugh! That’s it. It will be funny, it will, I know it. It’s starting already//...he mentions Trump's possible choice of RFK for health matters...

//Of course, his presence is serious, but look, the idea of Trump as leader of the free world is funny too...His choices will be based solely on loyalty, not expertise in the job. So it’s going to be a circus. Very entertaining! //

That's just one Americans opinion...one with a keen interest in politics.

Guess he's a leftie?

[pastafreak]

He's a person who supports equal rights and opportunities...including social and economic, medical care, education. Also gun control, sensible government. Is that a leftie?

[Atheist]

In US-land, all the above makes him an extreme leftie commie.

Atheist and pastafreak just misguided liberal trotting out the wokey mantra.

[pastafreak]

Max...my brother is 88 and I'm 77. We are not 'woke'. We have beliefs and standards that have held us in good stead for a long time.

Having a laugh is better than having a cry, and there's a lot of tears being shed in the UK right now over the antics of the new Labour administration.

I agree with Mr Detroit's sentiment and to all intents and purposes he's right, but I do hope that Trump can get things done (so to speak) fairly between Vlod and Vlad.
