Trump is the just deserts Obama deserved. It’s bitter sweet, for me. Truth has compelled me, over the years, to say rather unpleasant things about Obama’s deplorable reign. The reign of “cool” was a new wave hubris..
Trump, unwittingly parroting me, said that Obama “maybe the worst president the USA” ever knew. I said this years ago. It was not quite true. I was trying to wake Obama up. Actually Bill Clinton was worse.
It was bitter to say such nasty things, however supported by the veracity of graphs they were, because I used to have so much hope in Obama. And he squandered his presidency away, due to his youth, lack of experience, lack of ferocity, and lack of heroism (to put it mildly). Obama is smart: his words sound often like those I would proferr. However he ruled as a roi fainéant (a French notion which is an entire history by itself, dating from 1789 Revolution propaganda). This lazy king did nothing much, even less than war criminal suspect G. W. Bushdid (when he was not invading Iraq, and plotting with fellow criminal Gaddafi)
Bush established Medicare Part D, whereas (most of, Trump said) Obamacare is doomed: Obamacare is completely collapsing, while Obama talks about in on TV, giving instructions, in a striking imitation of Big Brother. So great is the distress of the US White population, it’s literally dying. The White Population is literally dying off in the USA, in a way reminscent of the end of Soviet rule style (and for similar reasons):
USW = US Whites. USW Deaths have been going up. Notice USH deaths going down, US Hispanics. US is treating its Hispanics well. Other nations are compared, such as FRA (France) and GER (Germany).
Since Clinton, US Whites have been in distress, as their life span itself, has been redistributed to “Democratic” Party clientele.
And that’s the truth.

Patrice Ayme's Thoughts 
November 11, 2016 at 1:54 am |
Social, cultural and spiritual health beget physical health. Huge swathes of America have seen their jobs ship overseas, their prospects and their hopes for the children vanish, their communities crumble, their society splinter. This is exacting a terrible toll on everyone except the 1% and their lackeys, the professional class.
The Democrats invited this by abandoning their historical roots in favor of neoliberalism and identity politics, neither of which had any sympathy for the white working class.
Obama is one of the worst presidents of all time, and certainly the worst since Woodrow Wilson – no less racist, inept abroad and cowardly towards plutocracy.
Unlike Trump, Obama entered office with unprecedented good will from the public, a mandate from the voters and a commanding strength in Congress. Trump will not enjoy any of these, and has a task at least equal to what Obama faced in 2008. I’ll spare you the list; you are all too familiar with it.
Hillary vanquished, the establishment will be looking for another host. It’s surely been decades since they’ve been seriously challenged, let alone defeated. They want blood.

Trump, after 8 years of Obama, 8 years of Bush, and 8 years of Bill the Goat, has a very difficult situation. That makes him lucky: he can become a great hero, especially as he is wildly berated. Obama fell asleep from all the glory and blind admiration (which is going to wane very soon… as reality set in)
Turns out that many of the self-described “progressives” electronic media are actually owned by major plutocrats. Same as Main Stream Media. If one is a crony capitalist, or part of state financed corporate fascism, one’s livelihood depends on taxpayers not understanding any of it.

Par contre, attention à la pensée magique et au ouichefoule sinequingue – vous avez déjà déchanté avec un autre candidat devenu président, souvenez-vous.

Au delà de toutes vos attentes et vos analyses, il y a quand même un réel sacrément plombé en embuscade, sans compter l’inertie du système et tous les autres imprévus (vous connaissez la rengaine, ce qui arrive n’est jamais ni la meilleure ni la pire de nos prévisions, mais ce qu’on n’attendait pas). Je me demande déjà comment tous les suce-boules poutiniens qui rêvaient de Trump en fossoyeur de l’Empire vont réagir, d’ailleurs. Remarquez, fossoyeur, il le sera peut-être, sans doute davantage par circonstances que par dessein.
Le plus plausible reste AMHA le plus médiocre, càd un Trump-Berlusconi, et une “administration” GOP à l’état chimiquement purequi va vraiment récompenser les EUiens comme ils le méritent (qu’ils crèvent).
Pas la fin du monde fasciste (j’avais trouvé l’analyse de Trump non pas comme candidat mais comme vendeur assez intéressante, avec son “pacing” pour devenir son propre produit, miroir des attentes de son public, véritable “tulpa” marketing)… et sans doute, probablement pas vôtre fléau de la “Plutocracy”. Enfin, au moins, ça bouge, mais pas sûr que cela avance…
Sinon, intéressant aussi que Trump ai “perdu” 1,5 millions de voix par rapport à Romney, mais réussisse à mobiliser bien plus dans la rust belt et les états ruraux. En comparaison, Clinton a “perdu” 6 millions de voix par rapport à Obama 2012, et 10 millions à Obama 2008!
Je veux bien que l’hystérie sur son image ait joué (mes contacts FB US sont essentiellement des fachos locaux, disons que plus l’élection s’approchait, plus la réalité s’éloignait – et je parle de gens assez cultivés et plutôt de bon niveau socio-éducatif, pas des soraliens US type infowars ou prison planet, hein…), mais tout de même, quelle claque! Quel désaveu. (Quelle rigolade!)
Pour l’Europe, la France et le reste du monde, cf. mes petites interrogations vasouilleuses de la dernière entrée. Peut-être une ouverture dans laquelle s’engouffrer, sans doute un rendez-vous manqué à regretter amèrement dans le futur.

I was behind Obama, a friend, when people thought he had no chance to be elected, whatsoever. I worked hard for 2 years, behind the scenes. As I said I knew it was all over, probably by November 5, 2008, more than 2 months before he became president.Things could have been different if we had got in the administration (one can at least naively hope that), but my spouse and I were busy having a child (and it was not easy). Obama meant well, but he found himself alone, and having already signed with the Devil already (when he had accepted the deal of Hank Paulson). So when he proposed “Medicare for All”, he was 100% alone in that cabinet. And that Dem Party elite.

The USA’s first billionairte was Carnegie (late 1800’s). And Carnegie was a bit to the left of Bernie Sanders: he famously wrote about it in detail (heavy taxes on the hyper rich). Teddy Roosevelt (practical father of FDR) then passed the anti-monopoly laws. Then those were circumvented with great US investment in Germany, 1914-1945 in its first phase (not a typo). So here we see plutocratic globalocracy was tied in with fascism and war.
Hillary, in her folly, during a debate a few weeks ago, condemned Trump for campaigning AGAINST Reagan in 1987. About the globalization that would get in high gear five years later under Bill Clinton… Reagan’s errand boy. (Clinton enabled Iran-Contra for Reagan… Making him a fake “Democrat”). Trump has always espoused very democratic views which have become hated and despised by the Kugman vision of globalization the “Democrats” adopted.

It’s been accelerating plutocracy in the USA since the mid-60s, which was the last time that pro-middle class legislation was passed. If you were lucky enough to work for various subsided sectors, you did ok, and maybe even prospered. But if you worked in the service or manufacturing sectors(where most of the non-college educated people work–70% of the population) you got raw capitalism and were crushed. The next stage of capitalism will be dramatically increased robotization to eliminate the need for this 70% of the population.
Our mistake was to think that a president could stop this machine when they are merely one of the cogs. It hard to give up the idea that we have a voice. But think how silly is the idea that a plutocracy will let itself be voted out of power. Power resides in the ownership of the economy, not in the government. Americans simply cannot imagine a country without plutocrats.

US products would then be over priced and Mexican farms would be rejuvenated. So yeah, he can do that, and cause a major depression in the US farm sector. Would big agricultural interests, which just happen to be centered in states and places where Republican congress members reside, stand by and let that happen?

An interesting development. Florida’s Hispanic immigrants are mostly from South America and the Caribbean and obviously felt less threatened than the mostly Mexican immigrants in western states. In Texas Hillary cut the Republican margin by one third which means that eight years from now it could be voting like California in presidential elections. The mobilization of Hispanics did not take place as I expected. The are on the bottom of the economic ladder and in jobs where taking off from work can get you fired. So they tend not to vote, especially the first generation of citizens.
Hillary’s horrible performance with non-college educated women(who she lost by a heavy margin) is also worth looking into. Trump is slightly above 47% — exactly where Romney was. Hardly a wave election for Trump or Republicans. But it was exactly as you said it would be–a rejection of Obama/Clintonism which appeared to many people to be a do-nothing status quo modeled on Hoover’s reaction to the Great Depression. It was a rejection of the past eight years–but not and necessarily an embrace of Trump or Republicanism. It was an act of desperation based on the reality that there is no party in the US that represents the interests of the working class, or even most of the so called middle class.

Anyway, Trump potentially is going to turn the Republican Party upside down… lest he be assassinated by Lee Harvey Ostwald (resuscitated for the occasion, hey, why not? They believed anything!) If he does, things could be very different very soon.
Thanks for saying it would be as I said. It was much closer than I expected, due to Trump’s lack of experience, and the Clinton making a sex attack on him he did not expect.Trump is probably going to learn fast, though. In my opinion, he can do a lot, and, in particular, all what Obama should have been doing and more (and was paid not to do: here is a Nobel).
Trump has a vision of economics similar to mine: I recommend giant stimulus, giant spending, and inflation up to 4% (exactly what I recommended eight years ago). In contrast, Obama had signed onto the Goldman Sachs plan… Because the Deep State, led by Paulson, had told him so.

Paul Krugman? If I send a comment to the New York Times on Krugman’s blog, I am censored. Why? Because the New York Times is plutocratically owned and brazen at excluding those whose critiques go really deep inside the foundation of the plutocratic state.
This is why the New York Times censors ALL my comments. No exception. Even if it’s a comment on philosophy: the paper seems terrorized that the general readership would read me, an obscure reader.
That behavior should actually be against the law: the New york Times is a “newspaper of report”. Like the rest of the press, but even more so, it has privileges accorded by the public, thus duty TO the public. By censoring those whose comments go against the liberties the New York Times takes against the truth, the NYT is treachorous to the public.
By the way I was a full subscriber of the New York Times for decades, and saw the paper lie about the 2003 attack against Iraq. Krugman poses as a progressive, because that’s where the gravy train is, for him. But Krugman is not a progressive. He just masquerades as one.
Paul Krugman actually started his career at the White House, helping Reagan set-up the GLOBALOCRACY which, soon after Trump criticized (1987).
Krugman’s entire career has been about enabling international corporations skirt laws and taxes by going overseas, killing the USA, and the West, in the process. But letting Krugman jet around the world, first class, polluting the planet with his CO2. In other words, Krugman is about fleecing the public, and he is busy byuing himself a conscience by talking with the opposite side of his mouth.
