Related: About this forumThis is why Donald Trump is so dangerous........
Donald Trump only cares about himself and how he can make a deal. Donald does not care who he hurts in making a deal as long as he gets what he wants. He has made a living of cheating people out of their valuables. Donald sees nothing wrong in making a deal with the Russians. He asks for the Russian intelligence services to spy on his opponent and the US State department. He thinks why not? He makes the offer under table to give Putin Crimea if the Donald is elected.
Do you really want this immature, incompetent, idiot anywhere near the US intelligence organizations?
Buried among Trumps strange statements in Miami was his pronouncement that he would consider recognizing Crimea as Russian territory. The United States and the European Union opposed Putins militarized land grab of this part of Ukraine and imposed economic sanctions on Russian banks. So not only did Trump signal that he welcomed help from the Russians, he told them exactly what they would get from sabotaging the campaign of his opponent. Dangerous deal.

The same people thought Bush was so great.
Don't they resent being "burned" by incompetent so called leaders?

(24,759 posts)Authoritarians are by definition bullies and authoritarian followers are just like Traitor Trump: bullies and cowards prone to kissing the asses of bully-boy excuses for leaders while seeking, and taking their anger out on, scapegoats who have nothing to do with their dissatisfaction.
Authoritarian followers will follow their chosen leader to Hell itself if they were told to do so. And that's what the repukes have become.
