That Trump is even conceivably 'in the running' makes my blood boil, but also makes me realize what a sick joke our political system has become. We are continuously sucked in and then, pretty much, made to feel helpless as those in Washington who truly represent us play 'by the rules' and those who wish to own/control us don't - and have literally gotten away with it. Without a balanced or ethical Supreme Court, without swift accountability for an insurrection, without truth as staple, and with greed leading the way for control of us, there's no responsibilty. Freedom without the latter is chaos and (continuing) destruction of a democracy.

Have you considered running for president, Robert?

A society is about more than the economy. We use capitalism for our economic system. A capitalistic system does not remain healthy if it is being dragged down by poverty. If you can't keep your consumers solvent the economy will lose stability. Life has to be about more than separate individuals clawing for wealth and hiding it, hoarding it. Trump is a failed businessman and yet people expect him to save America. It is economic imbalance that is destroying our economy and the belief that being wealthy makes you better, makes you lord of the manor and above things like paying taxes.Trump governs out of ego and chaos. He will destroy us.
