Want everyone to do the work for you and figure out what you’re talking for?

“What do Trump supporters see in Trump?”

A way to get back at the lefties for daring to win power. Remember, the rightwingers see the leftwing as evil and anything that stops them is good in their eyes.

“That is why the video made news that world over.”

Actually, protocol is that the first lady of one country shakes the hand of the first lady of the other country. That’s the protocol. Which dumbass Drumpf neither knew nor cared about.

The reason why it gets news is not because of that (everyone knows how big a dumbass Drumpf is) but his pouty face at not being the only person there.

Remember, as far as Drumpf is concerned, there is no Melania. She’s a non-person.

Which, oddly enough, is what many diehard supporters of Drumpf the anchor baby see in him as laudable: putting women “back in their place”.

While we’re waiting for an astute analysis from the inarticulate and socially unaware Trumpies, I’ll toss in 2 cents worth of my own.

For starters, every used car salesman knows that if you want to bring in the suckers, plant a frantically waving inflatable tube man in your front lot.

As for what’s going on with people, start with over the top advertising, add some pro wrestling. And maybe throw in one of Rush Limbaugh’s favorite films, “The 300” — which says nothing about the real Trump, but which has submerged in the dreams of the wingnut fever swamp.

BTW, if you’ve forgotten about that movie, a review is here:

(For reference, a transcript of the PBS series “The Spartans” seems to be archived here:

By way of explanation, it is not obvious to those of us who are not Trump supporters just why Trump supporters support Trump. As a means of opening up dialogue on this subject, I am asking a straight forward question; What traits or trait of Trump do you value? It seems like a straight forward enough question. Do you like his strong handshake? The strong male authoritarian figure he cuts? Just what is it that appeals to you about Trump? The fact that he says things that people feel, without regard for anything else?

Just wondering.

The only one that matters to them is “he’s not black or a woman”.

Still waiting.

That is why the video made news that world over.

Still waiting for a reply to the question .. What are some of Trump’s valuable traits?

Why do they find him appealing, instead of appalling? Any Trump supporters out there care to defend their support of this unpopular man? Tell us, if you will , what you see as some of his valuable traits.

Contrary to some surprising reports my wife did shake hands with Mrs. and Mr. Trump @POTUS after a great visit. Let’s FIGHT FAKE NEWS.
