Well, yes, of course he is. If the Millennials would have gotten what they wanted, we'd have Bernie instead. Hillary was never going to win. If the DNC wasn't so corrupt, Bernie actually might have beaten Trump, but not sure about that. Either way, Trump and Bernie are the American people's cry for help. They know something is wrong, but not sure exactly what it is. So they wanted to elect a wrecking ball from the left or the right. Trump is a wrecking ball. I like some of his policies and I don't like others. I especially don't like his tweets nor the indignity he brings to the White House. But I do like that he says it like it is and despises political correctness. PCness and censorship makes it hard for us to solve real problems. We need to be able to put the elephant on the table and go from there to solving it. For example, Charles Barkley said about black people that they should spend less time worrying about statues and more time getting educated and working hard. The black community then proceeded to calling him a racist and an Uncle Tom. That's victim mentality talking, not a demonstration of a willingness to be introspective and diagnose what is wrong with a group's culture in order to make it better. Barkley was right. Oh and before any of you liberals call me racist, you should know that I am part white, part black, part hispanic, and part native american. I am a true mutt, which in today's silly world means I get to say whatever the f__k I want, because I'm supposedly a victim. LOL. I love turning silly ideas back on the people who espouse them, so I'll use my race fluidity to make my points forcefully. Victimhood is the new social disease in this country. We need for our political class to stop dividing our country into victim groups and showering those victim groups with pity parties. Instead, we need to celebrate what we have in common as American Citizens and the opportunities we have here in the US and then set about working hard to achieve our individual and collective goals. Encouraging victimhood leads to nowhere good and we're seeing that. Safe spaces and snowflakes have no place in a healthy, vibrant, and thriving country.
