Hmmm - I see the attraction but do you really want to live in a universe where Trump is adored and late night hosts make fun of Democrats and their leftist ways ???

This is what I think Trump is doing:1)He’s breaking up the whole globalist system by ending multilateral trade deals that are bad for America and dealing with countries individually. 2) He’s bringing companies back to the United States because he knows that the current economic system is at the end of its cycle. (Historically it usually lasts for about 40 years.) 3) He’s exposing the Federal Reserve by letting the Fed Chair raise interest rates that will destroy what is actually a false economy anyway. He can then put the blame on the real culprit the Federal Reserve. This of course is going to bring the economy down, to what extent, who knows for sure? But he is transitioning it more smoothly by bringing a manufacturing base back. There is going to be a lot of pain for awhile, but as we see countries moving out of the central banking system and start using there own currency, the U.S. dollar will weaken and there will be a huge rise in gold and silver and crypto currency.
And if you give me a million kgs of platinum I will use my magical powers to transform it into 1 kg of gold!

The American dollar is based on the American economy. Gold historically has been a money fund to fall back to. Gold is being used more and more in industry today. Gold is scarce on earth. Technology will move more into the plastics and substitute other elements for making electronic goods.
Renewable energy is key. But so is cheap energy. The US did outlaw the personal holding of gold around somewhere between 1900 and 1935.
A guy at a minimum wage job is going to spend his money on a imported goods than local (higher price) manufactured goods. Hence why Walmart is so successful. American Corporations make most of their product overseas, and reap in the reward on the difference in wage prices between America and other cheaper wage country.
Isn't platinum worth more than gold?

Exactly. When Trump is finished he will have devalued the US economy so much it will take a hundred years to recover, if ever.

Well, Donald Trump declared a total victory and who am I to doubt him???

The Democrats can fold as a party. In fact, might as well dissolve Congress & the Supreme Court since one man can do it all. Actually, maybe even the whole Department of Defense too, except the guys with the nukes. Only really need some big nukes and a whole bunch of small nukes.
Save us from the globalists, brown people and bankers, Donald! MAGA!

I think the more critical issue isn't about Trump. The more critical issue is about why seemingly sane people would buy into such insane lies. If we can figure that out and address this issue, then people like Trump will have no real influence and their believes will have no real consequences, at least not on a global scale.
The Evangelicals and the Teaparty have taken over the GOP, they know full well what a Liar and Fraud Trump is but they believe he is taking them to the Promised land. They are so desperate for power they will hitch their wagons to anyone who can get them there.
They all must have been given ID's to buy cereal I suppose. No wonder they are happy.
When he made that statement I finally knew this man belongs in a fuckin rubber room.

If you think the worst thing Trump has done is "use Twitter" you're hardly being fair in your judgement.
At the very least, if being "implicated in scandals" is enough to condemn, he's equally deserving of condemnation.
Then there's the constant twisting and disinformation that sows domestic tensions and even violence.
The complete disregard for facts to forward agendas contrary to the country's interests.
Or if you want to talk international policy leading to harm, let's see where that $110 billion in Saudi weapon sales leads.
Best trolling of Trump was by France.
Trump is such a whiny little bitch he couldn't go out in the rain on Nov 11.
France had a military delegation place a wreath on ther Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetary, in the rain.
And Queen Elizabeth, in her nineties, was able to go out in the rain as well. Of course she actually drove a truck and an ambulance in the war. Way more of a man the Trump will ever be.

YES! Another bold statement by Donald Trump.

A 'populist' is one who supports the concerns of ordinary people (dictionary definition).
But I can certainly understand how today's governments feel threatened by any mention of populism since most governments are elitist, cater to special interests and seem to have a barely concealed contempt for ordinary people. They will therefore continue to falsely associate any genuine populist movements with fascism, racism and any other ism they can think of in order to discredit populism and maintain their privileged position of power.

Populism is left leaning, usually socialist or communist in character. Fascism is right leaning, and usually nationalist and elitist. Populism does not mean popular. It means having to do with ordinary people.
Ordinary people are driven by emotions and propaganda. While everyone can vote, not everyone should vote.
Aristocracy is important to stable society. In countries where aristocracy has been destroyed, corruption and oppression is extreme, because the ordinary peasants with no formal understanding of social graces and elitism take over and proceed to purge the elite.
Populism has destroyed more countries than it has built. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination and equally despicable.
In this case it's not "falsely". As was said of Trump, he doesn't use a dog whistle, he uses a regular whistle. He promotes racist stereotypes to drum up fear. He flouts standards put in place to protect people and democracy. According to his administration, in an effort to dismantle environmental protection in favour of industry, a little radiation is good for you. He tells people down is up in defiance of their own senses.
Anyway, the negative connotation of populism comes from mob mentality and appeal to baser emotions. Populism at its worst tries to convince everyone that the people who actually have the greater good at heart are the enemy and the ones taking advantage of you are your saviours. Scientists, for example, who try to dedicate themselves to bettering the world are supposedly the elite, and somehow driven by a self-serving agenda while those who are actually raking in the cash at your expense escape their notice and critique.
The DNC handed it to him in their arrogance. They had a narrative they wanted to push. Reality be damned.
Edit to add: and the worst problem is they still don't realise what they did wrong. They blame Comey. But hey if you're within a couple percentage points of Trump before the Comey bomb, maybe you're doing something wrong. Just like every Republican candidate that Trump beat before hand, they didn't read the room. No one stopped to ask what was going on that an incompetent like Trump bested 16 other candidates, and so they fell into the same ego trap. And now they have a self-aggrandising, bigoted snake oil salesmen as a president to show for it.
