    Just responding to actual Trump comments on the last election instead of your planted and faked Twitter feeds.

    1. Like Trump, you are a good spokesman for the egoist perspective.
    2. I'll restate my premise this way. Every American should have the right to never face homelessness or the stress of zero income for any extended period of time. Society should have a program & the means of interceding & helping someone caught in such a predicament. This doesn't impose on your individual rights, but helps the individual so trapped & society as a whole, for no society can be a truly healthy one with homeless people sleeping on the streets.
    3. Reality is a tricky thing. Reality is connected to consciousness, and consciousness is a topic that takes you to the deep end of the pool. Reality is what you & I & everyone else within it makes it. It is a compendium of every thought, action, & decision made by each of us as individuals, & all of us as a society, plus all of us as a global population, all taken together over time. The world we experience is the end result of what we have all created independently and together. We create reality, and each of us as individuals--our personal consciousness--sees that reality differently. No two of us sees it the same. We see aspects of it or elements of it the same, but in totality, we all have our own personal view of reality, and live according to that personal view. Reality is NEVER independent of one's wishes or whims. Every thought affects it. Every spoken word, written word, action, choice, decision affects it. That's why we should learn to control our thoughts & actions to a much finer level of precision, and why we should always strive to keep things positive, so that kind of energy will have the most impact. Reality always reflects back to us what we give it from ourselves. We can never separate reality from those producing it. :)

    Your new list of quotes seem like they could be legitimate and I have no problem with them as stand alone statements as presented though I'd need to know entire context of the conversation to know for sure. First two wouldn't load though so I don't know what they say.

    Mexico isn't building the second most powerful military on the planet. Go take a look at images of Shanghai and compare them to Mexico city.

    when the right defends the bad things their dictator says... no mater what he says ... sad day for America

    I do love it though, first they say he would never say that, then when it's proved he did, they are like so what, I don't care

    course at this point I am not sure it's not other countries defending Trump as they know Trump hurts and divides America

    As I said I have no problem with what Trump's tweeted in your second list. Your issue is? Pick a tweet in your second list and tell me the horrors if it.

    You care. Personally, I don't care what politicians say. I care what they do.

    Trump is evil, but whose morals are purer, AOC? Because she’s willing to sacrifice profits for handouts, industrialization for mosquito swamps, The Star Spangled Banner for Kumbayah?

    Pick your poison, and then kiss your ass goodby.
