Final update: Donald Trump still has people on the right hoping that is hurtful comments that have set most woman and many men against him, will prove to be harmless. But really, the disgusting comments he has made regarding Megyn Kelly and women in general, and I won't go into them here, are the Donald, the essence of who he is. That is my opinion, but I will confess that I was fooled in the beginning. I focused on the concept of sovereignty, but now know that Trump is simply a fraud and his view of sovereignty is probably just a mode of expressing bigotry. Again, that is my opinion only, but after the issue of thugs punching out folks, of Trump supporting his thugs by promising legal aid and the like, I am confident that Donald Trump would be a huge mistake as president.

He is already a mistake of nature, appealing to the baser instincts of mankind. I can't imagine he is proud of this as he looks himself in the mirror, but then I am not there so I can't say. If anything he has decided that the poor, the disabled, women, and most people of color are simply not important in the grand scheme of things. I have always felt that the uber rich are not important in the grand scheme of things, but it will be ultimately played out. After all, Donald, you can't take your fortune with you. Humble yourself, Mr Trump. And give up this shameful and embarrassing run for the presidency. You lack a certain civility necessary for the office and we as a nation just can't take a chance that you will somehow reclaim any sense of civility at all. The other candidates are dreadful, following in the footsteps of neoconservatism, except maybe Sanders. But they are at least civil. They are at least trained in the ways of diplomacy. You are simply disgusting to me, sir.

Update: Since writing this article back in August of this year, I have come to understand Donald Trump a little bit more. My disappointment is huge. He claimed to be a sovereign nation fellow, like JFK was, but in reality, he is a globalist. He says he is for making America strong, but he wants to increase the military. That is a bad idea, because it is sapping the United States of its wealth, just to maintain the military. Trump is not for helping the average worker make more. He wants to play good paying jobs against poorly paying jobs, with him, as the rich guy, being the savior. Well don't count on it. He has bashed teachers. He has wanted to move all the undocumented workers, millions of them, on a death march out of the country. At least that is what I am hearing from him although he could change tomorrow.

I am no fan of Obama, but he is a globalist, not a Muslim. Trump allowed the lie to go unanswered when a Trump fan accusing Obama of being a Muslim. But he is a globalist. He does what the globalists want in the middle east even if it makes no sense to our own foreign policy. Obama didn't punish any of the bankers with jail. How much more globalist can you get?

The final straw was Trump's connection with Sarah Palin, who was sponsored by globalist Lady Lynn de Rothschild. Trump either knows nothing about globalism as a cabal or he is playing us all as fools, Just my opinion,  so don't sue me Donald!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump is not presidential material. He is offensive, xenophobic and maybe even racist. Megyn Kelly is right that he offends women, too. But she is so self important that it is hard to choose her over the Donald as to personality fails.

Still, since Republicans in general seem to attack women, as if they have some sort of pseudo religious duty to do so, Trump piling on to women increases that offense. The Republicans don't mind alienating half the voters as if they are the man party? Too funny if it wasn't just pathetic.

But on other issues, Donald Trump is speaking to the failure of America, the failure of policy as it attacks the middle class. He is speaking to the failure of big capital to give the United States of America a fair shake.

Most of the jobs added in this economy since the recession are poorly paying jobs. Most are in food service. Gasoline is piling up as Americans are driving less. If many working poor can afford a vehicle, and many cannot, can they afford to drive across town 20 miles per day? They pay inflated gasoline prices based on their depressed wages? I don't think so.

While gasoline has gone down in price recently, Americans were ripped off for years as wages stagnated, and that was a double penalty since their house values were crashing as well. As the Fed has said, the hot money left the real estate market, LIBOR skyrocketed, and banks would not lend to each other. Credit dried up for consumers and it was really easy before it dried up.

The economy, and the middle class are at a breaking point, so Trump's message resonates with many.  Let's look at a few of these points Trump is making:

1. Trump says that there are bubbles brewing in markets. Well, that is true. People don't like bubbles anymore. They want real wages, not an economy based upon the need for credit in order to get ahead. Millennials learned first hand how that could turn on its head. Millennials learned what it was like for home prices to go down and for bankers to take advantage of their parents.

2. Trump says that the border is too porous and that this ultimately robs wages from Americans. Well, certainly, many Americans don't want to pick farm produce or build houses. But, the border is too porous, because fair and organized entry into nations is important. It can stretch the systems of education and medical care to have illegals flooding into the Us and then having citizen children. It has a social cost.

That does not mean that I am against immediate citizenship. I am for immediate citizenship of children born here. That does not mean that I am for sending back illegal children who have trained in our schools. That is dumb, because we paid through the nose to train these kids. We need their education and drive to help our nation. We need a path to citizenship for all who are educated here.

But we need to zealously guard the borders. It just is the right thing to do. Globalists are afraid that there will be a shortage of workers, but the US could make sure this doesn't happen by committing more resources to an orderly process at the borders.

3. Trump says he will bring jobs back to the US. Well, truth is, he could influence this process. He isn't going to fix the process completely, but he certainly could apply laws and incentives that would keep more jobs in America. For economists to reject his view out of hand shows they are likely in the pockets of the big capitalists. These globalist types want to take advantage of the American consumer, making products elsewhere that they expect to sell to Americans. There is something fundamentally unpatriotic about that unless there is simply no other way for an industry to survive without moving offshore.

Perhaps the thing that Americans are most angry about, and that I am angry about, is issue number 1, that housing has become a bubbled up commodity. Housing can be manipulated in price by those who chose to manipulate it. And all the while this housing is being manipulated by hot money, the wages of Americans must stagnate in an effort to maintain some sort of competitiveness in the world.

So, we have globalists offshoring jobs, letting people in in droves, both of these pushing wages down, all the while they are speculating in housing and driving the prices of housing up. This is a squeeze on the middle class of unprecedented proportions.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It is madness, and it will create an unstable economy if it the gap between house prices (and rents), and wages get worse.

CBS said that home prices have outstripped wage appreciation in 76 percent of the real estate markets of the United States. This is another bubble. Sorry, you can say it isn't, but Donald Trump is right and your globalist controlled politicians are silent. They know the score. But they don't care.

Donald Trump makes me angry with his lack of nuance and his insensitivity. But he is hitting the ball out of the park when it comes to the issues. The rest of the politicians are useless. Yes, they are totally useless and in the pockets of their globalist masters.

That is the truth, and this is coming from a guy who voted for Obama twice, who is a liberal for gun rights. Oh, and there are other liberals who support gun rights, but they get no air time. That is just the way things are.

If Donald Trump succeeds in shaming the rest of the politicians in both parties, he will have done something. But then, it is possible that they simply don't have any conscience anymore. And if that is the case, our nation will continue to face hard times, and the millennials will force bankers to get real jobs, since they don't want to take on loans like their parents did.

Yes, Trump is onto something. It is just too bad it is Trump and not a JFK type, as JFK had an understanding of these very same things, and possessed the nuanced intellect to make people understand the issues and love his presidency.

Could Trump be a phony, with no real desire to fix anything. It is always possible. He seems sincere, however. He could influence the direction of government on the three issues above even if he isn't president. That would most likely be a very good thing.
