i think its funny when people who are very insignificant, hate on "the successful guy".
Some of the friends of my duaghters were hating on Justin Beiber and they got this lecture as well.
Ive never even heard a Bieber song but thats not the point.
Er, that's exactly the point.
We must all come to the final conclusion, the America Voted, & as per the Law of the Land, the United States Constitution, June 21, 1788, Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America.......Americans....all Americans must hold his feet to the fire so that he upholds the Constitution of the United States of America.
We're well past that conclusion, Panther. We're now onto the question of whether Justin Beiber's success justifies his awful music.
By extension, we could ask whether Donald Trump's popular election justifies his awful policies as president. You will only be able to use this excuse for a short while. When we start to see the backdowns, the kickbacks, the conflicts of interest, the rising debt and all the bullsh!t excuses, the fact that Trump was elected will be meaningless.
Trump is there for the billionaires. You can't hide this fact or pretend it's fake news. Trump's appointments already make this clear. His policies will be on display for all to see.
George W Bush campaigned as a "compassionate conservative". When he got in, he proved to be a neoconservative. As time went on, Bush's neoconservative policies proved to be a massive failure. No one could deny it. The lies, the death toll from his foreign wars, the mounting deficit, the billions poured into Bush's friends' businesses, and finally, the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression proved it. Bush was a failure. His agenda was a failure. He proved that he was never a compassionate conservative, whatever this was.
Trump has steered clear of these sorts of definitions, but his statements speak for themselves. Trump promises to make America great again. When he does the exact opposite - the trade wars with China, the price increases, the tax cuts for the rich, the cuts to the minimum wage, the mounting deficit, etc, etc, etc - you won't have any excuses left.
Remember, not even the rusted-ons were defending Bush at the end of his second term. When Trump's time comes, the best you'll be able to do is pretend you never supported Trump in the first place.
