The Fascist Candidate - Its No Joke, Donald Trump Represents And Incites The Deplorables
Last edited Sat Sep 10, 2016, 10:29 PM - Edit history (1)
There's no stopping those who are attracted to a fascist leader from being excited by Trump's loud and quarrelsome candidacy. Trump says things weekly that have ended many other candidates hopes of getting in the White House, but his being a TV celebrity has kept him in the hunt for the White House thanks to his fame and well-known obnoxious twitter insults.
Those who support him seem to like that he really doesn't have any complex solutions to anything, just repeated claims of "I'll Fix It" and "It'll Be Great" comments. They're quite literally proud to be headed to 'hell in a hand basket' by him and if asked by Trump at a rally if there were any deplorables at his rallies, they'd cheer mightily like Roger Stone is already stating.
This obsession over Trump is why we hear story after story of Democratic Party supporters stating they've had property vandalized, stolen, been threatened at the Democratic Party booths at a county fair in Ohio, and even one victimized family says their dog was killed by Trump supporters after repeated attacks on their house.
There's several reasons why he has been making so many vile statements, he doesn't want the voters to know he doesn't support fair labor practices, is anti-union and against fair pay for workers. His behavior is repeatedly more outlandish than anything Hillary's ever said, such as calling POW's losers (imagine the anger if Hillary said she liked US military vets who weren't captured), and going after parents who lost their hero son with fervor while claiming he's sacrificed much.
But, the most scary reason for his daily distractions is the fact he isn't remotely qualified to be president. Newt even said he hoped Trump would learn some "new skills" - sorry, the presidency is not the place for a guy who needs to learn foreign policy and how not to insult people at every turn with foul comments.
He is everything a good-hearted American should be offended by and we should get everyone we know registered to vote. Hearing him called "Mr President" would be the least of our frustrations.

Long, investigative piece, well worth the read.
How Donald Trump retooled his charity to spend other people’s money
........... The Donald J. Trump Foundation is not like other charities. An investigation of the foundation — including examinations of 17 years of tax filings and interviews with more than 200 individuals or groups listed as donors or beneficiaries — found that it collects and spends money in a very unusual manner.
For one thing, nearly all of its money comes from people other than Trump. In tax records, the last gift from Trump was in 2008. Since then, all of the donations have been other people’s money — an arrangement that experts say is almost unheard of for a family foundation.
Trump then takes that money and generally does with it as he pleases. In many cases, he passes it on to other charities, which often are under the impression that it is Trump’s own money.
In two cases, he has used money from his charity to buy himself a gift. In one of those cases — not previously reported — Trump spent $20,000 of money earmarked for charitable purposes to buy a six-foot-tall painting of himself. ......

Yo0u have your average redneck Joe deplorable, and you have your KKK guys, the abysmally deplorables.
Also, let's make sure Trump is seen as worse than his deplorable followers, because wanting to lead the deplorables is abysmally deplorable.
