Why Trump's Supporters Hate George Soros

Perhaps the big picture would be Trump can be the best suitable candidate that the international head-hunters could find for matching a politician job description, of which the main assignment is to make a deal with Kim.

That's an interesting hypothesis!

That's fair enough, but I can't see any logic in it. I can't understand how anyone, regardless of their politics, could vote for a person with a serious mental problem to lead the country. Someone who is a pathological liar.

And it is not clear to me how anyone, no matter how they would not want Ms Clinton to lead the country, and I put myself in that category, could possibly think that her defects and transgressions, none of which has led to indictment let alone conviction, rise to the level of Trump's transgressions and defects, though like Clinton, so far as i know, he has also never been indicted -- though that may be on the way.

All candidates, by nature, are imperfect so we are always faced with weighing our political proclivities against the candidates imperfections. In the case of Trump, a man who has been a bully from childhood; a man with clinical narcissism; a man who has lied over and over again in the most transparent ways; a man who has been sued over 4,000 times; a man who has lost or settled many times and lied about it; a man with a record of making contractors sue to collect their due; a man who has admitted to groping women he hardly knew and bragged about it; a man who has failed miserably to deliver on the promises he made to his constituents and then backed policies that were clearly against their best interests; a man with numerous conflicts of interest; a man who has made enemies of those he needs to govern effectively; a man whose word can not be trusted; a man who's supporters consist mainly of low educated white males; a man so ignorant of government he did not realize that neither statutory nor constitutional law can be overturned by executive order; a man who is a bungling laughing stock to the majority of the population.

Now some of these defects may also be ascribed to Clinton, or other politicians for that matter, but there is no comparison whatsoever between Clinton and Trump when it comes to the frequency at which these defects are displayed. The majority of the worst defects and transgressions are owned by Trump alone.

As time goes on you will witness Republican Congressmen falling over themselves to distance themselves from Trump. I'd be embarrassed to admit I voted for such a man.

I get how you are perplexed that anyone could vote for him over Clinton. But again, given all that you stand for, all that you have voiced support for over the years on this forum, I am not surprised that you cannot see why. Your views represent the establishment, and everything that is wrong with government. The people who voted for Trump despise all that you support. Thus, it is obvious to anyone on the outside looking in, why you would be perplexed.

I get that. Fortunately for my generation, they are still in the minority, however I am concerned regarding the future.

Indeed you should be concerned for the future. Your views of the world are going away. Many of those views, I say good riddance. On a few, I share your concern. All in all, I think it's a net positive and the sooner we rid ourselves of the academics, the better.
 
why does Tsing Tao want to get rid of academics ?
Does he have any idea of how things work and why academics are key for a society/country to be ahead ????????

Perhaps he believes in good old-fashioned "know-how" that comes from the ether. Why try to benefit from a body of knowledge comprising the research and mistakes of others when you can just be omniscient instead?
