   And there was me expecting a great list of Trump atrocities. :-)   
      
   Just prejudice then.   
      
   But to answer your question, I believe he did all he could to   
   discourage war for start. He did his best to create jobs for people   
   especially black people as it happens which is why many of them love   
   him.

   So fear of war, culture and even society destroying mass immigration,   
   netzero obsession and power grab, foreign policy etc.  are the lowest   
   common denominator - ok.

   Almost everyone thinks their political opponent is ignorant.   
      
   The left in society always talk about "be nice" "hope not hate" and   
   yet in my experience all of the hate and and I do mean ALL of the   
   hate comes from the same people of the left. We see it in government,   
   we saw it in BLM, we see it in Palestine marches, we see it in public   
   discourse. The left show us all how to do hate properly.   
      
   The left hate Trump and that is what all of this is about.

   How many ridiculous charges have been brought against him now?   
   You think it's okay for a judge to decree that most of someone's   
   defence even witnesses are not allowed?   
   Remind me again, what was the size of the fine they dropped on him?   
   You think it's ok for people to be elected to public office in the   
   judicial system on a ticket of "get Trump" when so far we've seen   
   only very trivial misdemeanors with any credibility at all.   
      
   An open political witch hunt with added corruption. Trump haters will   
   not admit it but everyone knows it. The whole affair has redefined   
   'moral behaviour'. It's no longer what you do but why you do it,   
   anything done against Trump is now moral.   
      
   I will now respect the request of Yazoo and comment no further at   
   this time.   
      
      
   Bob.
