    You said he was an idiot, not that he acted like one. Are you saying he is, literally, an idiot (not the Rachel Maddow definition of "idiot") and still got to be a billionaire? How did that happen? Please tell us; we await your wisdom.

    I am not afraid of much more than democrats. I have detailed in the past why I fear those people.

    So is Comey one of them? His kids and wife are. They, per Comey supported and worked diligently for her. While she is gone and so was Comey, he arose from the dead to have published a tell all book. Was it to clear his conscience since he is the one that got fired? No, he did it to make money, no problem there, and to try to take down Trump. We will see a rash of such books before this ends. We saw Fire and Fury and it did not work. This is fire bomb number two. It will miss too. Democrats will buy his book since they are loyal to Comey. They did not prove their loyalty at one point since when it was Hillary roasting on the fire, they believe he sold her out and caused her to lose. I have no opinion as to if Comey caused her to lose. But I am not afraid of Comey. At one point Hillary lovers feared him a lot though. So what happened to that fear?

    Ah....you’re one of those types. You know, a person who cherry picks certain words and accuses people of saying something they didn’t say? Trump does act like an idiot with his childish behavior. Does it literally mean he’s an idiot who can’t form a sentence? Of course not. But he does act like an idiot with his behavior. Anyway, sorry I insulted your obviously very close friend. I mean...you ARE close friends with him right?

    So let me see if I have this right...you actually believe that being a billionaire negates being an idiot???

    Guess you never heard of an inheritance. Of which Trump had one.

    Why do you go on and on? She lost.

    You still think about her every day, though.

    Weird.

    Pssst! Come here!

    I'm going to tell you a secret, but only if you promise not to tell anyone else, okay?

    Ready?

    Trump LOVES socialized medicine! He can't say enough nice things about it. He loooooooves UHC.

    If America gives Trump a Democratic Congress, Trump will revert to his inner New York Democratic liberal and announce his next policy agenda is to enact universal health care.

    And exactly three milliseconds later, you will claim you have always supported UHC.

    I'm quite liberal, and getting much more liberal, on health care and other things. What's the purpose of a country if you're not gonna have defense and health care? If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. So I'm very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal healthcare. - Donald J. Trump

    “As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland." - Donald J. Trump, 2015.


    Donald Trump in his book The America We Deserve:

    We must have universal healthcare...I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses...

    Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork..

    The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.

    "[Universal Health Care] is an entitlement to this country, and too bad the world can't be, you know, in this country. But the fact is, it's an entitlement to this country if we're going to have a great country." - Donald J. Trump

    I'm considered conservative by some and I don't give half a **** about Comey.

    So what conservatives are you talking about?

    Those are reasons (made up or not) to dislike him, not to be obsessed with him. I disliked Obama because of the exact same reasons but I wasn't obsessed with him.

    Maybe you should define obsessed, before making such a statement.

    I am deeply concerned in regards to Trump, not from an ideological standpoint, but from a competence and corruption perspective. You can claim you felt the same way about Obama, but IMO, that only makes your discernment of character suspect to say the least.

    Let’s start with the Koch bros

    If they are not ignorant of the science behind global warming then they are guilty of crimes against humanity

    How about Sean Hannity may not be a billionaire but he is supremely ignorant

    My apologies, the term was fixate not obsess. Fixation implies obsession and that was defined by the OP.

    Those are reasons to dislike Trump not fixate on him.

    if you don't adhere to the common meaning of fixate than you should have asked MolonLabe2009 to define it before responding with reasons why you are fixated.

    Simply state that you aren't fixated

    Some are accusing Trump himself of being complicit in the Russian interference. Although there is the appearance of that, I'm not one of them....yet. There is little doubt that members of his campaign did

    I fear what he's doing to this county.

    I fear his attacks on media and law enforcement and the judicial system and societal norms.

    I fear that his idiotic antics will start a war.

    I've seen Bush do that (out of hubris and ideology) and Trump is far more dangerous in that regard

    I haven't a clue why anybody would fixate on anything. I'm not sure "conservatives" are fixated.

    So the answer is I'm not sure. Your question has been answered.


    So why are people fixated on Donald Trump?

    Like what?

    Only when it's Trump or did you fear that when Obama did it?

    Any country that would go to war with another over a person's tweets is not stable and you really should be fearing that country and not someone posting childish tweets.

    From what I have observed Donald Trump wasn't really interested in war and he has been convinced by politicians otherwise to attack Syria.

    As I already stated, I am deeply concerned.

    To elaborate further, concerned as if I were in a vehicle as a passenger and the driver shows a disregard of the rules of the road, common courtesy, and displays poor judgment which I feel jeopardizes my safety as a passenger. If you wish to call that "fixate", yeah, I fixate on staying alive.

    Molonlabe2009 asked why people are fixated not deeply concerned.

    If you aren't fixated you shouldn't give reasons for why. Maybe in the future say you aren't fixated just concerned. When you answer loaded questions like that you affirm the conviction that the question implies.

    You dont have to explain why yippy are concerned its perfectly rational to be concerned with the political movements. Regardless of whether I agree with you or not it is reasinable to be concerned with the leader of your nation.

    Obviously you measure the quality of an individual by the amount of their worth.
