    Give it a minute. The American general public had at least ten years to get familiar with Trump and what he’s about. His plans for this year were not hidden, even a little bit. They voted him in again anyway just a year ago. Now they’re acting like this was all an unexpected shock.

    All we learned from this week is that Americans are capable of remembering not to put their hand on the hot stove a third time, provided their other hand is still on the same hot stove from the second time.

      Far longer than that.

      He’s been known publicly as a sack of shit since at least the '90s.

        But then puffed up as a genius business man by The Apprentice. Remember that most people the world over are absolutely rock-stupid and will believe whatever’s on TV. “He ripped off everyone he ever did business with and bankrupted every company he ever started” “Whatever, I like the way he says ‘You’re fired!’ He must be great at businessing!”
