How To Interpret "Trumpisms"

He has always been a Bernies Sanders nutjob in terms of economics, government control of the economy (he is the worst offender of eminent domain) and racism. Always. In some areas he is a great deal worse.
 
He isn't just 'anti-establishment', it is becoming apparent that he really is an authoritarian.

Confusing him with Obama?

You are confused alright.

You really shouldn't use big words like "authoritarian" unless you understand their meaning.

LOL You are lecturing the adults little boy?

Come now, go play with your blocks.

So much vanity; so little substance...
 
First, one needs to realize that Donald Trump is a master negotiator and a public relations expert. This means that you always ask for more than you are willing to settle for, and that any Republican Presidential candidate has to be able to pierce the liberal media veil in order to communicate with voters. Examples:

1. "Ban all Muslims from entering the U.S." (Obviously, this doesn't apply to returning citizens.) What Trump would likely settle for is banning Muslims unless/until we can be reasonably assured that they have no connection to or sympathies for radical Islamic terrorists.

2, "Deport all illegal aliens." What Trump would likely settle for is mandatory registration and background checks before being allowed to stay here, with stiff mandatory penalties for those who return after deportation.

3. "Make Mexico pay for a wall." This means that Mexico will have to greatly increase its border security or else face economic penalties that will pay for a wall to be built by us.

I am not trying to water down his policies, but rather put them in the context of what he would actually be able to do if he was President. Thoughts/comments?


YOur point about being a Master Negotiator is true.

But you are "watering down" his policies. If that is all he goes for, he will be letting down his supporters.

1. We cannot be reasonable assured, the majority of the time. If that "ban" becomes a 20% reduction he will have lied. If it becomes a 80% reduction, that might be acceptable.

2. IF they are here they are working. That is not good enough. IF Their children are getting American Citizenship, that is not good enough. If he can address both of those in a timely fashion, that will be good enough.

3.Reasonable.
 
But you are "watering down" his policies. If that is all he goes for, he will be letting down his supporters.

What if Congress passes such "watered down" legislation? Should he veto it and get nothing? Or try to rule by Executive Order?

why does anyone need to "interpret" him?

he's pretty open and straightforward in his bigotry and fascism

Depends on circumstances.

Might be best to make it a showdown with Congress to force congressmen to stand and be counted for or against the interests of this nation.
