How A Con Artist Got To Be President

Quite simply it is because they view themselves as victims of the left, have been taught to hate government, and they want to believe in the con artist:

"In the 1950s, the linguist David Maurer began to delve more deeply into the world of confidence men than any had before him. He called them, simply, “aristocrats of crime.” Hard crime—outright theft or burglary, violence, threats—is not what the confidence artist is about. The confidence game—the con—is an exercise in soft skills.

“What long cons rely on is that we’re emotional about the people we like, about the people we trust…we feel some sort of emotional connection and we dismiss red flags…because the moment where we’re emotionally invested, we are no longer logical, we are no longer looking objectively, we are subjective…and so you dismiss the evidence.”

 

Or, and I'm just going out on a limb here, maybe it has something to do with the left constantly bashing and (*)(*)(*)(*)talking on everyone who doesn't conform to thier exact belief system. You know. Kinda like this entire thread.

 

Why Trump won seems to be a mystery only to the left.

He won because liberals making massive issues of non issues through SJWS, blaming white people for all the negative in the world, pushing objectively false narratives, supporting and making excuses for criminals while making a villain unreasonably of police, supporting terrorist groups like BLM, insulting and throwing temper tantrums when they don't get there way, etc etc etc.

 

This is not a current event, but just another and redundant Trump bashing opinion.

 

You are definitely missing the reasons in a big way why Trump really got elected and why you might not have another Democratic President for a while.

In short, hold up a mirror and look into it. That's your reason why Trump is our President.

 

This totally explains why the press and many of our left-of-center posters here kept falling for their own narrative, built around their own polls which proved The Hillary Landslide™ was imminent. So in this sense, the Legacy Media was conned BY their own pollsters, who then in turn conned their gullible sheeple - both here on-line, on college campuses, in Millennial hangouts, Hollywood Half-Wits, Special Snowflake Syndrome Sufferers, and the like.

Of course, now these victims, unable to verbalize what has happened to them, must place the blame elsewhere - it certainly can't be because Hillary ran a poor campaign that she should have won. That would be tantamount to accepting responsibility for one's actions, something that must be avoided at all costs. In the above case, avoidance is achieved by calling anyone who disagrees with one's own schema as simply gullible - an odd projection given how easily they fell for the lies foisted upon them by their own willing media. Sadly, such victims lack the self-awareness to realize the irony of the situation.

 

Reading the title I though this was going to be about Obama. Instead, we are presented with irrational ramblings.

 

The left will never blame themselves for anything. To them everything is always someone else's fault. No one is surprised here.

 

My reaction to the title? "No she didn't!"

 

For myself the one great now past point of pride in the US is my once firm belief that men such as Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini or even Fidel Castro if born in the US would had never had amounted to anything in our society.

At the very best they would had became used car sale persons or some such in life. Surely not national leaders.

With Trump now I know that it can happen here and perhaps already is in the process of happening here.

Shame on us all as we do not even have such excuses as a lost world war with tens of millions killed along with a following great depression

 

So what are you going to do when 8 years from now and trump finally retires from the presidency and all of you horsecrap nonsense bull(*)(*)(*)(*) doesn't happen?

 

Footnote way back when Trump begin pushing the birther nonsense many years ago I dismissed the man as a clown that was of no concern other then to the people who was stupid enough to do business with him.

It not that we liberals gave the polls or Hillary too must credit it is that we gave our fellow citizens too must credit for having common sense.

 

I voted for Trump because Hillary Clinton constantly put herself before country. The only people I know who play the victims are the snowflakes on the left. The author of that article can Bite Me!

 

Stop being an atheist and join the catholic church and then light a few thousand candles.

 

That theory should have flew out the window when barrack Hussain Obama was elected twice. Wow!

 

He literally is nothing you compared him to. Egotistical yes, but that's about it. Your own hatred is a much larger issue in America than anything Trump can do.

 

How did obama the con artist get to be president? I mean, Barry had little experience and it showed!

 

From my perspective, Trump voters understand your kind and really have no use for you. Your kind is going nuts trying to figure out what motivates us and it results in asinine OPs like this.

 

There is some sense in this written word. What you constantly fail to understand is it describes liberals and thier marriage to the DNC to a tee. You've been conned and even after seeing the results you live in denial.
Shake it off pick up the pieces and go on. Next time your elite leaders tell you the candidate they chose for you is guarenteed to win perhaps you'll remember this failure.

 

Sure, Trump was voted in from a direct result of a world the Dems created. A world where anything goes...even prez Trump!

The dems just don't get it. They can only queerify America so much before it comes back to bite them.

 

I love how liberals are wetting themselves.

 

Per the title of the thread, no she didnt. Her lies and coruption caught up with her. Her only reason to become president was "it was her turn" and she had a vagina. Reasonable logical people wisely didnt buy that.

 

As you well demonstrate. Your explanation does nothing to explain why so many who claim to be "christian" would throw away their values, and vote for a lying, adulterous, cowardly, thief. It does nothing to explain why so many who claim to be "conservatives" voted for one who supports Planned Parenthood, LGBT rights, and the list goes on.

The lack of actual vetting by the media also plays a role in this con. But hey, being a "victim" such as yourself it is great to blame it on others.

 

Then explain why they voted for the lying coward they voted for? Why is it all of you will excuse voting for Trump by pointing out the ills of Clinton (who was just a female version of Trump) when honest people like Darrell Castle, or Evan McMullin, were running on the Independent (third party) tickets?

 

Good points as they explain how and why Barack Obama -- a man with ZERO meaningful national level experience and absolutely no leadership or management history -- became president with only a deeply melodious voice, a chic dark skin tone in an age of rabid leftist political correctness, an infectious grin, and the FULL and FAWNING SUPPORT of the Mainstream Media behind him, but how then to explain Trump, a fellow with loads of national level experience as a world class business man and and massive history as a leader and manager?

Having been massively burned by the con man known as Barack Obama the nation simply decided to reject Barack Obama Mark Two, Mod one in the form of hyper corrupt liar Hillary Clinton and go instead with experience and a track record of proven competence in 2016?
