      Editing … how would he bankrupt the country? Eliminating tax loopholes and increasing taxes on individuals who in many cases are paying less in taxes than their secretaries sounds like a sure way to boost the economy, and his proposed medicare system would save the government tens of trillions of dollars at the least, even according to Koch-funded studies.

      Editing … Fact is, the media will continue to push the idea that Bernie hasn't got a grasp on his policies, yet in every interview he'll consistently be one of the only politicians to deliberately outline each contour of his platform and the implementation of said policies. Next up they'll laud some fraud who's deep in the same pockets as the outlet interviewing them, who screens their questions yet still redirects from the ones they accept.

Labour always do it, they look out for the slobs who won't work and then the torys have to come in and sort it out. But they only look out for the rich so the poor get poorer and Labour are again voted in.

      Editing … well okay I appreciate the questions if they weren't facetious then. Both our primary parties are shit too, but I'm sure you knew that bit. It's a big part of why Trump got elected, he was a political outsider, not a career politician making their living by selling out the entirety of America. 'course, now we've got proof you don't need to be a career politician to do so.

      Editing … Electing a corrupt lying cunt isn't a great way to send that sort of message. But you are right about Clinton, and it's corrupt politicians like her that result in Americans embracing people like Trump. Even if it's a bit idiotic to not be able to identify him as just as corrupt. All he's done in office is make life harder for the poor and middle class, and easier on the rich and on corporations. He chooses businessmen to set the (de)regulations on their own fields of business, he's taken health care from millions of Americans, and he's massively dropped corporate tax rates. He's sold out Americans for the sake of billionnaires' bottom lines just as well as plenty career politicians have.

      Editing … Nobody likes Trump, he is racist and all the other stuff probably, I don't doubt he's not a nice man. He's not a politician though, he's thinking decisions through based on business logic and at the end of the day an economy is a business. He's not trying to keep everybody happy he's running the business. South Korea and Japan are close with the US so he's helped the US too.

And pop musicians such as Psy generally rail against anything that sounds fascist (I can't believe I've mentioning freaking Psy). Anyways, Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, likes Trump. And lot of Japanese people hate Abe for all sorts of reasons. So...Politics as usual in east Asia. Sigh...

      Editing … An economy is most definitely NOT a business, nor should it be run like one. The intricacies of a modern state economy do not conform to the systems of private business, nor should a government try to run it like one because a private company and a government have fundamentally different and largely incompatible goals. Having someone with business experience, even if they were a successful businessperson which Trump was not, would not really work because running a company and a government require completely different skill-sets and knowledge bases.
