Is Trump a Populist?

Be gentle with that asshole, he doesn't have a clue but he's probably capable of learning.

The Dems have to get the balls to make the obvious comparison to Adolph. There's a big stigma in it that's going to prevent it.

You love wacko conspiracy theories, don't you?

The Templars were suppressed as an Order throughout Latin Christendom in 1312. Surviving brethren were farmed out to other orders, usually the Hospitallers. In Portugal, the brethren were formed into a new order, the Order of Christ.

There is no evidence that fugitive Templars fled either to Scotland or to Switzerland. Most likely, this story is a distorted retelling of a virulently antisemitic tract from the 19th century, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” that claimed the world was being controlled by Jewish bankers. It would probably be best to avoid such asinine theories.

No, not seriously? It's almost too outrageous to believe!

But even if it isn't true, that's got a lot to do with my question. I rather suspect that Trump has the requirements of being a psychopath and he's being schooled and used by Bolton and maybe others like Bolton. I think those that are clever and are close to Trump are using his psychopathic traits to drive him.

You know something about Hitler and 1930's Germany. The similarities are too much to ignore. AHZ obviously doesn't and so the comparisons will be lost on him and likely most Americans.

Will the Dems use it? Would they dare? If it's introduced in a careful and subtle way they could get away with it.

Yes, seriously according to his wife... But Trump probably didn't know who Bolton was before he became president.

I think the similarities are compelling. AHZ is poorly educated and just prefers wacky conspiracy theories.. like Trump.

. Swiss banks were the key foreign-currency providers of the Nazi war machine, they profited both from looted gold, stolen by the Nazis from the national banks of occupied countries such as Belgium and Holland, and by operating an international banking centre for the Third Reich.

Hitler's Secret Bankers reveals how Swiss banks, for all their declarations of neutrality, knowingly accepted stolen gold - estimated to be worth between $200 million and $400 million - from the Nazis, and 'washed' up to $100 million of looted gold by sending it to Portugal and Spain.

Hitler's Secret Bankers also reveals how Swiss bankers' trade with the Nazis was but one part of a wider government policy of accommodation with the Third Reich that returned to the Gestapo and the SS tens of thousands of fleeing Jews who had made it across the Swiss border, how the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements and its American president, Thomas McKittrick, continued trading on behalf of the Reich throughout the Second World War and accepted Nazi gold, and how American intelligence believed that the Swiss-based International Red Cross had been infiltrated by Nazi agents, along with the details of a secret Nazi plan to launch an underground economic Fourth Reich at the war's end.

Amazing but true? I'll take your word for it with caution because I'm not so sure he would have been capable of understanding it.

New Life Children’s Refuge. The New Life Children’s Refuge (NLCR) was founded in November 2009 by Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter, who are both members of the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Life_Children's_Refuge_case


On January 29, 2010, a group of ten American Baptist missionaries from Idaho attempted to cross the Haiti-Dominican Republic border with 33 Haitian children, most of whom were not orphans and had families. The group, known as the New Life Children’s Refuge,[1] did not have proper authorization for transporting the children and were arrested on kidnapping charges.[2][3] The missionaries denied any wrongdoing and claimed that they were rescuing orphans and leading them to a Dominican hotel which was being transformed into an orphanage.

Nine of the ten missionaries were later released but NLCR founder Laura Silsby remained incarcerated in Haiti. By the time she went to trial on May 13 the charges had been reduced to "arranging irregular travel" and the prosecution sought a 6-month prison term.[4] On May 17, she was found guilty and sentenced to the time served in jail prior to the trial.[5]

What did this have to do with Hillary Clinton?

I didn't know that because I haven't been paying attention closely enough, but like I said, I'll take your word for it, even though she might have made it up.

The Dems need to get on this but maybe they don't think the pump is primed yet?
 
DC has utterly failed the people. They can't get anything done -look at immigration reform.
we've been trying to update our crummy laws forever and BOTH SIDES AGREE IT NEEDS REFORM -
but reform never happens.

Congress is unable to pass any meaningful legislation. at best they croak out Omnibus spending bills.
So we the people no longer have ANY CONFIDENCE in DC or the bureaucracy . They are unresponsive.
All they can do is pass more stifling regulations,and never trim them back even when obsolete.


So that is our politics. Anyone who thinks Dems or Republicans represent the people's will is seriously deluded.
Since DC is unworkable -what is the alternative? blow it up. put in an outsider who promises to
represent the people, not the bureaucrats. Trump is the only one promising to try and re-do our politics.

#NeverTrumps find this awful -challenging their cushy positions.
Dems don't know anything but to REACT with DA RESISTANCE.

Trump will deal with anyone for the betterment of the USA -but the Swamp ignores deals in favor of keeping the status quo. DCdoesn't give a damn about you. Trump is the only alternative for now as 3rd party is a fantasy

Yeah, he made non-stop lying the new normal. Just what DC needed.

Trump is a cocksure ignoramus. He doesn't want to learn because he thinks he knows it all.

It's not a good idea to give such a person power. Thank God for the checks and balances.

So in your view, Trump is knowledgeable but eager to learn more because he's smart enough to know his limitations. Also he does his best to tell the truth and always owns up when he gets something wrong.

He's a regular George Washington! Why didn't I see it? :rolleyes:
 
A populist purports to be for the people over the elite. Is that what you think is Trump? Wow. He is an elite himself. He gave a huge tax break to the wealthy. He guts regulation that protects the people so the corporations can make more. His administration is jammed with billionaires and corporate leaders. Trump is no populist. More like a Fascist.
