Trump will bring about a new era of prosperity

Fella

I think you can summarize almost all the hatred of Trump thus: he's extremely rich & successful & he couldn't care less whether liberals like him. So they really really hate him. He's also white & male, & as we all know white males must be held to a far higher standard than anybody else. As opposed, for example, to black females (can you spell Dianne Abbott) who may repeatedly demonstrate their racism & hypocrisy & yet avoid almost any criticism from the usual suspects.

In terms of what he's done & what he probably will do, far worse has gone on in the past in dozens of different countries & will continue to do so. Even with Trump in charge the US is still infinitely more liberal & tolerant than half the countries on the planet. Anybody who claims otherwise is either ignorant or just desperate to appear correct.

Rich yes, successful no. He's spent his entire life urinating his dad's money up the wall. By most estimates, he'd have more money if he'd put his inheritance in a tracker fund instead of investing it in casinos, get-rich-quick seminars and other schemes, many of which have gone bankrupt.

Trump, Farage et al, filled the vacuum left by the arrogant 'liberal' elites.

Be more confident - you support the message of the right and more people are getting on board. You're winning the argument and are delighted with the way things are going.

Cut the coyness too - you vote UKIP and love Trump not because a liberal once hurt your feelings but because you think they've got great ideas.

Make sure you're not horrid to me either because I'll have no other choice but to run bleating to the ballot box and vote Lib Dem and it'll be all your fault.

He's a billionaire who just got made president & you class him as unsuccessful? Really?

I don't like him because he's vain, bullying, shallow and thin skinned to the point of embarrassment. I'll add white, male and rich to my list - hadn't thought of them.

You'll probably always find countries which are far less tolerant than the US so probably not a good reference. Maybe a better comparison would be to compare US tolerance pre and post Trump rather than with, say, North Korea.

The latter part of the 2nd paragraph is hyperbolic.

But the latter part of the 1st... you seriously don't like him because he's white?

Your overt racism and gender bias is noted.
21st century style Western 'Neo-liberalism' is the new fascism and must be challenged and via the ballot box it must be defeated.
For too long our politcal discourse has been dominated by virtue signalling middle class white people who have shut down debate with the liberal use of the sexist, racist and xenophobe 'bombs'.
Batten down the hatches 'Libtards' its going to get a tad rough for you.

The North Korea reference was just a bit of tongue in cheek fun.

As for the white reference it was Fella that suggested that people hate on him in part because he's white. Nonsense I know - I was being sarcastic.

Except he's not that successful, depending on your metric. He's got a string of failed businesses, scams, and screwed over suppliers. Add in the fact he's an awful person and you don't get much redeeming features, but he gets away with it because he hasn't managed to waste the entirety of his dads fortune.
