I think it's sad for America. To think that people look at Trump as a statesman, a responsible leader, as an intellectual says much more about the bully Trump is and how sadly some Americans see his character as admirable and noble.
Thug culture flourishes on the Right Wing of modern American politics. What will this mean for our future? McCarthyesque witch hunts, erosion of civil liberties and a deepening division among Americans. It is truly sad.
Trump has qualities we need right now in the economic realm. He has policies that many of us agree with and wish someone had said them earlier. He's right on treaties, political correctness and illegal immigration. But you have to take the package.
That being said, "Thug culture flourishes with this present administration, in my opinion. Look at the people Obama had beside him. Rahm Emanuel, the father of Godfathers! The communist, Van Jones, and the Muslim, Valerie Jarrett! Obama couldn't shake his black community organizer hat and blamed whites against blacks, making him the most devisive president in history.
