Read the people comments on the Daily Mail w/ Brits criticizing Trump

[rayg]

RT posts...Real simple. You're mad at public comments, made on a British tabloid website, seen as not favorable to Donald Trump?

News Flash! Americans are the biggest proponent of American Exceptionalism. Europeans may not agree with you, your political choices, or your leadership's comments on any or all subjects you care deeply about. The 4th of July comment was merely poking fun at that.

The Trump show is cancelled! President WALKS OUT of coronavirus briefing after 22 minutes and refuses to take questions after his disinfectant disaster as White House looks to 'cut back his daily updates'

There's no question but that the DM is anti Trump.. but I guess what really burns me up is the personal anti Trump remarks in the comment section by British posters. I guess I feel American politics is American's business not theirs..
Am I wrong? or being overly critical?.

Read the remarks...

Are you suggesting the President isn't free to express his opinion? The same privilege you don't extend to the individual contributors of the DailyMail comment section?

To your highlighted comment above, why take such personal offense to negative comments about Trump? It's as if you have taken on his identity to feel that way.

The posts I'm talking about are the ones made by non US citizens and you know it that is who I mean, don't try to dance around it.....

So Ray... please inform my Fantasy Mind ... are you agreeing with me that Trump was wrong to insult other nations by calling them xxxx hole countries.... or not ?

I don't know about him, but I was. And the tens of millions trying their best to get the hell out of those countries, invading Europe & this country, must also agree, or they wouldn't risk their lives in dangerous ocean crossings.

I've been in those countries. I've LIVED in some. There's an old saying, "The first step in solving a problem is realizing that you have a problem."

The second step is defining the problem. And for many of those countries, the problem is that they're xxxxhole countries.

But not, actually, when their economies were efficiently managed by European colonial administrations, as when Zimbabwe, now a basket case, was the "breadbasket of Africa." Don't tell me how oppressive the colonial administration was unless you can explain why most of the population was willing, however discontented they may have been, to stay where they were rather than risk their lives to escape to Europe.

You're making my point -- many of those countries were once prosperous, and turned themselves into xxxxholes, usually in the pursuit of ideological nonsense.

in the country mentioned, that Ideological nonsense was simply a power grab by a dictator masquerading as a socialist, or communist, or whatever, and a lot of kill the white man,

granted, the kill the white man part may have been because of the way the white man governed or worked there,,


however, you would think the native population would have learned to farm,

but then again, one way to gain control is to indoctrinate not educate,

Rule #1 of conquering--

Eliminate the traditional governance structure that was in place before the takeover.

Replace it with something that serves the interests of the occupiers. A common device is to create factions of competing interests among the locals, thereby reinforcing the occupying power and preventing unified opposition.


It comes as no surprise then that post colonial governments struggle to find their footing, possibly for a very long time. Europe was a bunch of sh*thole countries for centuries after Roman decline. Eastern Europe still is, in the post-Czarist/Soviet era.

Just as in this country. Check out the websites of the two main teacher's unions, & try to find any substantial difference between them & the policies of the DNC. During the last election there was NO difference whatever--they were both full-speed-ahead Hillary machines.

Proof of nothing.

Yeah teachers unions on your enemies list but so what.

compared to ???


if you are going to lay at a claim like that in the past,, then provide some context,

[togor]

If you want to argue against a context, or for one, then pick one and start typing. Nothing stopping you.
