I don't think you can lay the response to the plague or the rioting on Trump. No matter what he wanted to do, he was stymied at every turn. Wanted to close the borders, got criticized for being racist and xenophobic. A month later he's criticized for not closing the borders. Authorizes (but does not use) the use of the military to help maintain order, and he's criticized for being a totalitarian. Then he gets criticized for not doing enough to quell the violence? C'mon.
Have you read none of my posts since 2016?
T.Lex. First there's the incoherent "systemic racism" stuff, and now the biggest question in your mind about Trump is whether he's more like Stalin or Lenin? Should I worry?
That aside, I've often wondered what candidates do with their mailing lists. I try not to land on their mailing lists. I don't tend to donate money to political candidates. I've ended up on some mailing lists where I suspect it may have been the NRA or some other group I might have supported. But anyway, I kinda thought campaigns just give their mailing lists to their party. But it does seem reasonable to suspect that campaigns may just treat email lists like any other asset and liquidate them after the campaign is over.
Before he took over, he was in charge of personnel. No one else wanted the job.
So, he put his friends into important positions in exchange for their loyalty. By the time Lenin died, very few rivals even needed to be killed.
And yeah, that trajectory might have more in common with the Clintons.
Again, it probably was unclear given my anti-Trump position, but I'm actually not saying he is or governs like Stalin. In terms of personality, I do see similarities.
