    Bravado (!=) Confidence. He is a spineless coward who has thrown every single person in his orbit to the wolves the minute that it suited his interests, insulated him from the consequences of his actions, or protected his fragile ego. I’m sure you’re already a better person than Trump could ever hope to be.

      True, but regardless of what you say about trump, he’s figured out the way to get some people to see things his way. That must be nice

        You could say the same thing about many a despot throughout the course of human history. Getting people to buy what you’re selling through lies, intimidation, or lopsided power dynamics speaks more to his followers lack of ethics or common sense than the strength of his positions.

        Hitler sure did rally lot of Nazi’s too. Regardless of what you say about him, Adolf’s figured out the way to get some people to see things his way. That must be nice.
