5. I think there is a level of hatred and bigotry in some humans. Maybe it's an inherited generational

flight or flight response, survival of the fittest and all of that. Evolution has tamed it down a lot, but IMO someone like Trump brings it out. Thinking of what happened in Germany WW II ... Hitler precipitated and instigated that level of hatred.

The media is often a worthless bunch of ass wipes. Not all, but many. They see big money in promoting Trump. Controversies mean big money for M$M. M$M is working hard to make the 2016 presidency a gladiator spectacle.

Some Americans IMO are bigots and racists. It runs through all types of individuals IMO. M$M IMO is no exception. If this were not true, then Trump would not have as high polling numbers. Generally, when one turns on the TV to M$M, it's all about Trump. And investigative reporting has often been dropped. So, often we end up with tabloid reporting on M$M more akin to a reality TV show.

Disgusting, isn't it. IMO, M$M has promoted Trump to where he is today.
