   The Trump presidency is anything but pretty. But my oh my how much prettier it is than anything Mrs. Clinton could have put together. She was the entitled candidate. It was HER TURN. She neglected the states that mattered because it was HER TURN.
   
   Her election was entirely rigged in her favor because it was HER TURN. The entire mass media was behind her because it was HER TURN. So I thank our lucky stars for those reasons, and oh so many more, that Hillary Clinton is not my president, and will never ever be.

      Listen... there are plenty of people out there who think Trump will be removed, and Hillary will then be made President... because its HER TURN damn it!!!
      
      PS - I actually prefer it when someone I am corresponding with states something along those lines, because it informs me they are completely out of touch with how our system of government works, to say nothing of other realities... and to not waste my time.

   Hardcore Donald supporters are obviously closet and openly racist plus the greediest of the rich.
   Each day passing reveals that Donald is imploding mentally on tv and Twitter.
   I predict there will soon be a major health fail for the demented Donald and/or a bigger psychotic episode on tv. There have already been a number of minor Live psychotic episodes.

      Please check out President Trump's Facebook page. he gives a daily itinerary, and daily updates.  Time to check out what he is doing first hand, not what he isn't doing, reported with nothing but bias innuendos.

   I won't say they were necessarily dumb, I'll keep that opinion to myself, I will say that on top of greed, many were given that platform they long craved. Bigotry became okay. Mocking the disabled became okay. Hate... became okay.
   
   While politicians have long been shady and full of lies, never has this country bore witness to a presidential candidate openly promoting violence.
   
   This country has been shunned by other nations, including allies, and has now been denied the opportunity to speak before the British Parliament. That, speaks volumes.

      You want stunning, and an example of what other nations felt about Obama. Here  is in full his final speech to the UN. I was pleased to find it, because I actually listened to it on TV the day he gave it. I was shocked to see not one applause. One could here a pin drop. Now this is sad, and I would say, President Trump has a lot of nation building to do. It's time to face some truths and move on. Obama did not open the door to our allies he preached down to them, he pushed his agenda, and care less about anyone else's. His first speech to the UN he received 12 standing ovations.... His last Zero response of any kind. This is proof of other nations disdain. And Trump never hired thug to cause violence, and property damage as did Hillary Clinton.   So, tired of listening to lies of liberals...   Over it    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji6pl5Vwrvk

         I'm not sure if you've done much public speaking, but when someone says "you could have heard a pin drop" during a speech, it's usually a compliment - the fact that people aren't all chattering away but are actually listening.
         
         However, the point you are making is that there wasn't any applause.  That doesn't surprise me and it has NOTHING to do with how other nations view Obama.   It has to do with the content of his speech.  He made points which would have made those listening uncomfortable - talking about Russia's actions in the Crimea and China's human rights records, and saying that nations needed to address inequality etc.   Many of those listening wouldn't have liked hearing home truths.  Simple as that.
         
         Rightly or wrongly, Obama is still widely respected in the UK, Europe and Australasia, whereas Trump is regarded as a dangerous buffoon.   In Scotland in particular, he is regarded as a nasty, vindictive, lying businessman with no respect for ordinary people, due to his dreadful treatment of the local population during his construction of his golf course there (this is something I have personal experience of, so don't tell me not to believe what I read in the papers!).

            Unfortunately, Trump's many personal, business & sexual scandals are not something that seems to have remotely mattered to t-fans before voting for him. Hillary's relatively tame past in comparison to both him & most any other male politician before her was of course a big deal but that's different - she is female.
            
            "So, tired of listening to lies of liberals... "

   In all honesty, HRC had no place nor business being in office. As a liberal (proud one at that) I can say that she had too much dirt on her hands to be in there, not to mention there was much more.
   
   Don't get excited though, because Trump doesn't belong there either. I won't say everyone that voted for him is racist or bigoted or anything else, but he did give those that are a very open platform. You know, how people say "liberals always do this..." It's the same thing.
   
   Both have dirt they can't get out of, we're in a mess and the BS of everyone keeping the divide but calling liberal this, republican that, isn't going to help.

      How many Bernie voters carried the same notion as you? They hated her as much as the GOP does for the same reasons.
      
      The problem is... This perspective of Hillary is also a media bias. Hillary has been bashed because of Bill for decades; and many - especially younger voters - have been listening to the newcasts of their conservative parents for a lot longer than any of them realize. It is really amazing to me how many people literally HATE 'that woman' - its so amazing! Don't like her policies, dislike her because she is a dem, etc... but HATE her the way that so many do... That's media manipulation.
      
      In reality, HRC's 'scandals' were no worse than (and were, in fact, TAME) compared to the majority of her male political peers; and her wrap sheet is certainly much shorter than Trump's when you compare them - and that's not saying anything about how much her decades of experience would have counted in that post.
      
      Believe it or not, this is the main reason why most people have a hard time believing that anyone could have voted for Trump, LoL!

   Not sure you have been following the current news. Hillary actually made a statement of support fro Presidents Trump's action in Syria.  Plus it was the Obama administration that pretty much caused the entire Middle East conflict. Hillary claimed that she was on board with taking Assad out when he crossed the red line. In my opinion, I would rather help the people of Syria, there has been over 500 thousand killed. This is pure genocide, and America in the past would have never turned its back on this form of killing... Could you fo a moment put yourself in the place of a Syrian that watched their loved ones die in this horrendous manner. Would you pray that someone would offer some form of help? Please view this CNN report. A Syrian man gives his thanks to ut president for helping.

      "Plus it was the Obama administration that pretty much caused the entire Middle East conflict." Please tell me you did not say that. Obama screwed up with Syria, no doubt, but, the Middle East has been in conflict forever. This all began long before Obama was ever in office. I don't support Obama and things he did, but for someone to say he caused the entire conflict over there...ludicrous. You're smarter than that.

      As to Syria ,   Hilary also said Trump could have acted in a  more positive light in the refugee crisis , She turned ideologically against him anyway , The refugee crisis was mostly  created by the Obama -Clinton regime to begin with ,   the  Syrian refugees would not have had to travel the world to begin with if there had been a protected safe zone -THERE in Syria . She is craftily trying to gain political mileage  for  Chelsea at this point .
      
      Political statement or not , the Obama administration delved into a mess the moment they attempted any foreign policy at all.
      
      ".......Plus it was the Obama administration that started ,......................"  Syria , Libya , Iran , Iraq --- No Obama - Clinton didn't start the middle eastern problems BUT  they threw plenty of  gasoline  on the desert campfires over there , whether you admit that or not ! And   It WAS   their disastrous policies in the middle east that  fueled a new wildfire all over the middle east .
