    On topic: Trump is being a jerk on the issue of the poor...and his puppets are even worse.

    About your off topic comments:

    I am not a tough guy. I post my thoughts without all that "tough guy" crap you are showing.

    I will be 83 years old in a couple of months...and I weigh 150 pounds.

    Are you actually challenging me to come to northern Virginia to physically confront you?

    Wake the hell up!

    Go back and read what you wrote...and my (sarcastic) comment about it. You will see that you wording allowed for the sarcasm.

    Sorry you are not able to get it.

    Stews are great for low income family since you can make do with lesser cut of meats or even go all veggies. Same for soups. Pre WW2, those were the main way to feed your family were I'm from.

    They were apparently a lot more nutritious than what the English poor ate which was mainly bread and cheese.

    On topic: I understand Trump's position on the poor. He is trying to appeal to his base...and his base could not care less about the poor.

    About your "response":

    Was that a "yes" or a "no"...

    ...or was it just an attempt to bail out?

    It was calling you out because I knew you were a coward. I knew how it would go other than you are an angry old lib. I am happy just knowing you won't be here long. My day is getting better and better.

    Trump's base viscerally hates poor people. They're the only ones who rival Muslims and Hispanics. After all, most of the poor are blacks

    Sorry for being unable to divine your thought processes.

    Please check my understanding. What I'm understanding is that: While you wrote:
    you actually understood, perfectly well, what I meant.

    Also, it's my understanding that you feigned your misunderstanding of my post, and intentionally misrepresented it:
    as a form of sarcasm.

    Am I getting it right?

    You know nothing!

    Trump's base is the working class; which includes the 'working poor'.

    The poor are often not as well informed about nutrition and health.
    Advertisers rely on that to promote junk food consumption.

    That is a blatant lie.

    You are slandering an entire group of private citizens.

    Okay, I understand that you are advocating for someone else to take care of the problem.

    The poor inform themselves of anything that interests them

    They have only themselves to blame for obesity

    I am NOT a coward. Calling a person a coward in an Internet forum...is cowardly. Make of that what you will.

    I am glad you are glad that I will die soon. It confirms my opinions of people who support Trump.

    I understood perfectly what you meant.

    I tend to respond to what people actually write...rather than to what they meant to write.

    And so...I answered with a bit of sarcasm...which I actually identified as sarcasm.

    I did not feign anything. I was sarcastic. But the idea you were attempting to communicate is essentially correct. You just have trouble being clear...as evidenced by this sentence to which I am now responding.

    A remedial writing course might help you.

    I will confirm that I was being sarcastic because of your inability to fashion a coherent response to what I said.

    More reason for there to be a push equal to that of a wall on illegal employers.

    I know plenty. I am not Jon Snow.

    Trump's base are some of the most gullible, ignorant, jerks ever to be involved in politics.

    My guess is that our Republic will survive your lot.

    Not exactly, they are getting obese on taxpayer's dollars. So taxpayers are as much too blame for the obesity of the poor as the poor themselves. I don't find feeding the poor objectionable but I do find them spitting in my face objectionable. Don't talk to me about my white privilege while you take part of my salary to get fat on because you are too good to work.
