Maybe, just maybe, my political beliefs are subservient to my moral and ethical code. The only question is why YOURS isnt the same.

But your moral and ethical code is arrested at stage 3. Your political beliefs must be pitifully weak if they are subservient to such a weak moral code. The outward evidence confirms this.

Mine isn't the same because I progressed to stage 6 (and was there before the age of 15.)

Put it this way - for propaganda to be effective, which segment of the below graph do you think it would target?

So what you are saying in essence is that you have no moral code?

No... you are pretty clear on the matter. Your political preferences rate higher than your moral and ethical code. That is why so many right-wingers are uncomfortable with Trump - and increasing in numbers. At some stage in most people, the end does NOT justfy the means.

so "dumb" that he got to be the most powerful man in the world without shedding a drop of blood and based solely on 27 word 'thought bubbles"on twitter.

i would actually consider him to be one of the smartest operators to ever walk the face of the earth

The misspelling of 'too' (to).

Is that a line from 'The Spy Who Shagged Me'? By 'Dr Evil' about himself?

Surely the image is a fake?

I know they've made basic spelling and grammar mistakes since he took the Oval Office, but how can this pass through the many layers of people without being picked up?

Unless Trump is using like a Meme generator and tweeting it out himself (we've seen the mistakes he's made in his tweets, the ones you can't just dismiss as "trying to fit into 140 characters") but come on...

Surely this is just a ploy to point out the "pettiness" of the Liberals?

Not that I agree, language is the most powerful tool we've had as a people, and coming from the most powerful man or office in the land even more so. It's important to get it right.

There are some things to admire about Trump, but I wouldn't characterise him as "smart".

There is no doubt he has found success both now and pre-politics, but I challenge you to do some research on how he achieved his status.

If you would still characterise his actions and continue to condone those actions that day after day, more and more are creeping into how he operates in the Oval Office as "smart" I think we may need to delve into our perceived understandings of that word.

He is a cheating businessman which is why people only ever have dealings with him ONCE.
