I cannot fathom how any decent person could ever reconcile those two indications of despicable character with anything positive he's done. How do you do it?

Neither side is any better here... How about idiots like Weiner? Slick Willy and his love for cigars, blue dresses and interns? Or maybe all of the trips on Epstein plane- the "Lolita express" to predator island?

Been in the financial services industry for 35 years. Professional money manager and retired at 45. PEOPLE, the stock market pulled back 10% from peak to trough-so far. Are you joking me? AT ANY POINT, the market could pull back 20% and it would be NORMAL. What isn't NORMAL is the relentless move up in prices we've witnessed since '11 when we had a 20% "drawdown".
I have no idea what the stock market will do this year and if anyone says they do they're either lying or worse, too stupid to know that they don't know. I DO have a better idea of where stocks will be trading in 10 years and a MUCH better idea of where they'll be trading in 20 years (significantly higher).
You're either in or out. Do NOT try and guess at the vagaries of the market. It is a fools game.

I was not taking political sides, just stating facts about Donald Trump. I totally understand why people voted for him given the choices we had. Despicable behavior is not limited to any political party. FWIW, I despise HRC too...

What astounds me is the support Trump still has today. Regardless of all the political and economic policies, there is a very simple dividing line that is derived from absolute core human values:

You support a man that has bragged about being a sexual predator AND has endorsed an accused child molester.

You condemn a man that has bragged about being a sexual predator AND has endorsed an accused child molester.


Even if I was able to overlook (I'm not...) the sexual predation because all involved were likely adults and most of the victims probably knew what they were getting into, I could never support anyone that endorsed an accused child molester; I think that sort of thing is really sick.

Absolutely, It's systemic at this point. I've been saying for years that America has had enough. Boy was I wrong. Each side just digs deeper and lies and criticizes the other for the exact same issues, including the fraudulent public base. Sickening.
