Why is President Trump ‘deranged’?

@chaski Said

Even if we assume that the above is accurate and good for the USA, it has nothing to do with the Noble Peace Prize.

Maybe Trump will do something worthy of the NPP, doubtful but maybe, hiwever he hasn’t done anything thing worthy of one yet.

The idea that he should get one at this point in time is idiotic.

Note for the Obama haters: No. He should not have gotten one either.

@chaski Said

Correction.... I wrote "Nobel Peace Prize" ( )when I should have written the "Nobel Prize in Economics"...



None the less, Trump hasn't done anything worthy of any Nobel prize, including the one for economics.

Maybe not cost "The US" too much, but it would cost US Companies too much to control pollution.

I mean, really. Chinese factories don't have to spend all kinds of money on pollution control.



(there was a better picture of "yellow smog", but it wouldn't post)

I didn't intend this thread to become a discussion of global warming. I normally don't get involved in it because the two sides never listen to the other side's arguments.

I don't believe that the Heritage Foundation objects to Americans paying to clean up American pollution. They believe that the Paris agreement required the Unites States to pay for cleaning up other countries pollution.

They believe that nobody wants to pay for it, and that in order to get other countries to sign the agreement, the United States in the Obama administration agreed to pay for cleaning other country's pollution.

Is the above true? I don't know, but a lot of people believe it. Environmentalists must find a way to address it whether true or not.

Trump is insane and ruining America one day at a time!!!

It could be worse. Sometimes we all have to take a moment to count our blessings.

Imagine how bad it would be if big tech or big media was covering for him.

Suppose Donald Trump drank (he doesn't drink). So one night he throws a party at a condo and decides to get behind the wheel of his car (he doesn't drive I don't think) with a young lady sitting in the passenger seat. Impaired by alcohol he drives his vehicle off a bridge and his car flips. She's stuck in the car gasping for air, doesn't drown but eventually dies of asphyxiation. Trump escapes the car and swims ashore. Eventually about nine hours later he calls the police and reports the accident. Within days he goes on television and gives his version of the events.

Now, I can tell you if that actually happened to Trump, he would be removed from office and likely prosecuted and put on house arrest if not prison time. And, that's what ought to happen. Because Trump ran as Republican and nods to the right this is the treatment he would get.

Not so if he put a D instead of an R behind his name.

The "Lion of the Senate" remained in office for a very very long time and it was because of his political capital and family name.

Nothing the Bushes 41 or 43 did comes even close.

Thank God we don't put up with Republicans doing that kind of garbage.

Be it an aversion to organized religion (think Ralph Reed or Jerry Falwell) or just a self-loathing masochism lots of Ameria shriek from any concept of "Make America Great Again" and in so doing will never ever give Trump a break.

That makes me feel good because I don't want any executive (any politician) to have enough popular currency to ever again react the way they did to Chappaquidd***.

**I admit I just saw the movie last week**

How is that ruining the the environment?
How is that effecting companies to make decisions to move manufacturing out of the states?
How is that almost starting a war with a nuclear-armed nut bag?
How is that almost ordering the assassination of the leader of another country?

A woman in a car, dead at the bottom of a lake is hardly a national or global crisis.


...I'm sure Putin or Kim has done worse.

@Ghyda Said

Yeah, and other presidents have had some odd behavior.

President Trump, like President Adams, can't keep his mouth shut. He gets into fights in which the president should not handle, like Andrew Jackson firing cabinet officials because their wives would not socialize with another official's wife. He also has trouble with spelling, something like Theodore Roosevelt.

And I do think that if President Trump were to receive a Noble Prize for Economics, not inviting him to the awards ceremony may have some merit.

As long as Trump has his twitter tweets he don't need any prize, he just needs everyone who is on twitter to kow tow to him and his life will be wonderful

@chaski Said

Welcome back White Swan... you have been missed.
