(L. Ron) Trump
Sep 26^th, 2016 at 9:45am

What is it about the psychologically damaged, motor-mouthed salesman that so easily captivates Americans?

From religious holy-rollers/ cultists to their secular equivalent - the 'self-help' latter-day shamans - to (now invading) the Presidential election process (which started with ‘Neo-Christians’ turning their minds from the selfless love needed to be a true Christian to the - anti-Christian - notion of getting and holding of raw power).

Americans just do not seem to have the Kryptonite needed to resist and defeat the siren sales songs of these bizarre psycho-pathological demagogues until they’re wrecked on the rocks of inanity.

Seriously… So many Americans seem not only unable to resist ‘the call’, they seem pathologically unable to detach themselves from the ‘Peter Pan/ Alice in Wonderland’ idealism that these nutjob charismatics evoke, even when it’s clear that the line they’re racing towards isn’t the horizon, it’s a cliff edge.

The closest Australians could ever come to adulating a motor mouth would be the likes of the (almost forgotten) Darrell Eastlake... (Remember his cries of "HUUUGE"? - Remind you of any US 'personality'?)

Australian immunity to bullshit artists of the likes of Trump is that the admiration of overexcited motormouths in Australian culture is exclusively reserved for sports commentators and comedians.

Unlike Australians Americans don't squirm about feeling good about themselves.
Go Trump!

There's feeling good about yourself and then there's the kind of pathological hyper-mania that makes you susceptibile to the delusional bullshit of a conman so long as it makes you feel good by keeping you in a selfimposed idealistic coma so you can fool yourself into believing you're 'living the dream'.

Your political procees has been hijacked by Trump. You're being fooled by a pathological nutjob.

The debate could not have been more of a farce if it was L Ron Hubbard running for President as opposed to (L Ron) Trump. In fact if you watch some videos of L Ron Hubbard (the other orange nutjob), you'd be forgiven for thinking that Hubbard and Trump are directly related.

The cult of personality (celebrity) infecting the nation's (and the world's) highest public office (almost to the point where the success mark on the measuring stick for Trump is to just speak Year 8 level English) has left many Americans unable to tell the difference between statesmanship and its D-grade parody...

You'd have to wonder if the whole 'Trump' thing hasn't exposed American culture as too far gone to generate competent world leadership.

Maybe not what they want but he is what they need. Someone who has experience in business, practical and can move America in a more positive direction.

The epitome of making the same mistake and expecting a different outcome.

History is full of warnings about what happens when a people make a leader out of the craziest dog with the loudest bark.

Perhaps but a definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Which is what the US people do each time they vote for a Dem/Rep like the Bushes, Clintons and Obama. All served up by the oligarchs and giving the people the idea that they have a choice - they don't. As Donald says "the system is rigged".
However Donald is mostly outside that system which is why the powers that be are so panicked by him - a wildcard (a trump card?). If elected it will be like the brexit vote - another setback for them.
Truth is - this is an undeclared class war!

"The system is rigged"... That's become a mantra with Trump. After the first debate he was telling the world that his microphone was 'rigged'...

Trump raves about how 'smart' he is by manipulating the 'system'. He's not outside it... He's neck deep in it.

A class war??? Do you seriously believe that the likes of Trump is some kind of working class hero?

Watch a few videos of L Ron Hubbard... You'll see what's really going on in Trump's head.

If you are interested in the truth you have to go past MSM.
MSM controls the narrative and most believe that narrative. The media is not honest it is a tool.
What Trump actually says is what you should be listening to, not some lie or fabrication. Only a couple of days the story was put out by MSM that Trump was calling for 2nd amenders to assassinate Hillary - of course he said nothing of the sort. Such is the hysteria in the media and you're a fool to believe such nonsense.
