> It's true that Donald Trump is lying, feckless fool.

Lying? Sure. Feckless fool? Not a fact.

> But that doesn't really change the facts.

You mean, facts like Hillary arming radicals and destroying governments? Or facts like Clinton getting millions of dollars from major banks? Or facts like Clinton wiping email servers? There were floodlights on the liar, but a crook sneaked in behind them. Rampant editorializing drove people away from the media. People suspected a collusion between media houses and the Clinton campain. Wikileaks confirmed those suspicions. What do they do? CNN tell its viewers that it's illegal to read or download stuff from Wikileaks.

He's a feckless fool. Campaigns on deporting ALL illegal immigrants and building a wall. Says (on 60 minutes, this is not fake, he said it): he's only going to deport illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes. This is exactly Obama's policy. He just won an election, and he's pushing the status-quo.

Again, on ACA repeal, he was VERY CLEAR in the debate: "repeal and replace Obamacare" (just not clear on "replace" with what). On 60 minutes, he's walking that back and talking about the parts he'll keep.

Trump is feckless. And a fool.

And Hillary may have armed radicals, but you look at photos of McCain shaking their hands. This policy will not change under a Trump administration, I guarantee it. Because he will do whatever this Republican congress wants. This is also true for Trade deals.

> building a wall

Just like Hillary, then [1][2]. She changed her tune this campaign season. Why exactly? I don't know. But the only explanation I can come up with is "my opponent's policies are bad"[3]. Most politicians do that when dealing with the opposite party, but Hillary seems to be unique in doing that against her own partymen, be it Obama (earlier) or Sanders now.

> ACA repeal

Just like Hillary, then[4]. However, Clinton had a different endgame in mind.

> Trump is feckless.

This, I cannot deny. Would you say the same of Hillary?

> And a fool.

That remains an opinion. Would you say the same of Hillary?

> you look at photos of McCain shaking their hands

... and I wonder how many of those people were hand-picked for the task by puppets the Americans put in place.

Anyway, this is precisely why I'm laughing so much about Trump's victory.

If trumps a fool then what does that make the people that he beat?
