State of Mind has direct correlation with life expectancy - any heart doctor will tell you that.

May not be out of thee way to include the America of the 60s in the examples - the hate for Russia - not because they were Communists but because of the ever hanging presence of the Nuclear Missiles threat.

Hate is not a healthy emotion. Rest of World hated your CIA. It's amazing how far the world has moved in the last 6 decades. Instead of CIA it is now CNN.

Not much.



Bloomberg is a fancy magazine for fancy people.

Finland The happiest country according to Bloomberg
- has a population of 5.5 million people
- same as Singapore
- & a woman prime minister, aged 34

Spain the healthiest according to Bloomberg
- The similarities between Venezuela and Spain are astounding - Socialists
an increasing population of the unemployed young in a rising costs economy
- Worst hit country by Convid in Europe

Bloomberg's offers
Hypothesize that Bloomberg offers you a
A) 10 year paid vacation in both Finland and Spain.
Only condition you will not return to the US during this period?

B) Life long paid vacation
only condition you will not return to US except for, say a month per year.

Will you risk dear old USA for Bloomberg's vacation of health & happiness?

--xx-

And that's precisely the point - Finland and Spain have nothing to do with America,
or the Trump Presidency?

- and Bloomberg's list of countries have populations that are lesser than the 2 top city / states in the USA

Leaders in Washington have no wisdom, knowledge, discretion or understanding as to what this Nation really needs .
It's a fallen World. The hearts and minds of many people are corrupt.

Don't blame things all on Trump!

I do not. Trump is an effect, not a cause.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, our 'leaders' are a reflection of our prominent culture. The electorate selects those they can see themselves in.

AOC is a complete moron who represents Gen Y. All those little morons are afraid of Liberty so they drive themselves into the ground. "Freedom within reason" is to much responsibility for them to handle so they reject reality. 🤣

Sanders represents all those hippies from the Baby Boomer generation who sit around talking about how the commie state is the "bestest evor". A bunch of knuckleheads smoking their dope and not doing anything useful for themselves or others.

Trump is a Constitutionalist/Centralist in most things. Super Troll on the net and people like to watch the "Drama". He's giving all these politicians opportunity to run around and show people what they really stand for. Give them enough rope to hang themselves.

"Step right up and see the two-headed dog with five legs".

AOC is not running for POTUS thankfully. She is elected congresswoman by the people in her district at only 30. The electorate there obviously saw themselves in her. She has a lifetime of experience and knowledge to gain, but the right age and place to start.

"liberty" and 'rights', as far as I can tell, are completely subjective concepts to liberals and conservatives, called upon as protest when they cannot have or do as they please, to insist that they should be free to do those things.

I also think 'communist' is a false flag waived by the non 'hippies' who like to label people with fear tactics. I have not once actually heard anyone tout communism or use the phrase 'bestest ever'. I also do not know too many 50-70 year olds who sit around 'smoking dope', but quite a few above 65 who now longer work a traditional job because they are RETIRED, but are not necessarily doing 'nothing'.


Trump does not even know the constitution, and the only 'center' that matters to him is himself.

Step right up and see the Emperor with No Clothes and his cult of merry men and women, touting how exquisite his gown is because it is not what any of the other Emperors are wearing.

Most people have the idea that the world, the universe, is an objective reality. It exists independently of us, independently of perceivers. For example, a tree is a tree. Regardless of whether I perceive the tree or an ant perceives the tree, the tree is the same thing. It has its own objective reality which is perceived in different ways by different beings. My experience of the tree is subjective, as is the ant’s, but the tree has a true essence that exists objectively.

Our beliefs shape our reality. Since we have the power to choose our beliefs, we have the power to shape our reality. Most of us do this subconsciously, but it is preferable to shape our reality consciously. That means we don’t have to get lucky to have a good life.

Many or most of our beliefs were given to us by others: parents, friends, society. We take a lot of them for granted and never question them even though they have a direct effect on everything we experience.

Point is, I disagree with your assessment of tRump, aoc and pretty much everything you say, because of my perception, how I was raised and my beliefs.
Ms Harmony is once again correct imo, this emperor has never been more naked & fires everyone who disagrees with him.

Now surrounded by kiss a$$es and yes men.

Correct, we all have our beliefs and we use those beliefs to form our perception of others. To us, those perceptions form our reality of people and if we are comfortable with them in any situation or position. For political people, I could care less about their personality only their beliefs and the policies they support. I cast my vote based on those factors, not what type of person they are. That same belief affects my acceptance of most other people, I only care about your ability to perform the tasks you are responsible for. Your personality only becomes important if I'm going to choose to spend my personal time with you.

I would normally agree. But with world leaders, it is a different ballgame. Their position REQUIRES a certain personality, or demeanor, to 'represent' the American people when Networking with leaders around the world. It is as important as the professional demeanor in any other job.

What is especially important is demeanor while in the public eye and carrying out their duties in their position. That, to me, is significant.

I also care about character, in so much as the integrity one shows in carrying out their duties. Most of the time, when someone is caught in a lie on their resume, the hiring officials quickly pass them over. When someone has a resume that shows a lack of competence or experience for the duties, or when they come into an interview behaving in certain manners, they are passed over for more 'professional' candidates.

A past trend of fraud and/or incompetence, or an unprofessional demeanor are significant personal flaws that I consider when considering the office of POTUS.


Now, if one goes home and kicks their dog and cheats on their spouse, that is irrelevant to the job. But in any job, demeanor ON the job does absolutely matter. And POTUS has no set work schedule. But certainly, any time they are representing US interests, or addressing US citizens, they are 'on the job', where their demeanor should matter as much as any one else when they go to their job.

As far as Asia is concerned, Trump is straight forward; dependable and we have seen terrorism drop like never before.

Asian View: As an example, Indian PM seems to get along extremely well with President Trump. He has an understanding with Chinese Premier Xi although we have some struggles. Also with Russia's Putin - an old socialist comrade.

It may be noted that in Asia, media has limited influence as compared to say the Guardian in UK - which seems to decide UK's foreign policy.

It is unfortunate that the continent of Asia does not have a presidential election for Trump to represent it.


In America, he sucks in his leadership of the country.

You are right. By default, American President does represent the continent of Asia minus communist interests!

Terrorism dropped like a rock

Russia is on ice.

China lost interest on Greenland

This is apart from N. Korea, Iran, Afghanistan (the new deal), Yemen ..

From our Asian World View, Barrack 'failed us'. We had great expectations but then what may one expect of a man who gets awarded the Nobel the day after he is elected - simply for being black - and then has the presidential demeanor to accept it!

Barrack's double standard demeanor We invited him as Chief Guest on our Republic Day, and next day he flew over to Pakistan and signed off a 9 billion dollar military loan!!

Barrack's failure to save Syria - a refresher At the height of the Syrian civil war against their military ruler, Putin flew in a few MIGs to Syria; and Barrack did nothing but support the civilians covertly like in Afghanistan. Iranian military advisers / troops then stepped into Syria. It was then that a flood of refugees traveled to Europe.

While Barrack & EU wanted to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran, Trump replaced it with the heaviest sanction for it's Syrian adventure. But too late for Syria and a new democratic revolutionary movement in the Islamic world.
--x

Now Putin flies two MIGs to Venezuela.., and Americans laugh.

I am sure not all continents and countries will see the gains they wish to, regardless of what POTUS the US has. It is a big world. A leader's priority is their own nation. They cannot be Gods taking care of the whole world's affairs.

Why is it that people are quick to put blame on Trump. It is the government within the government which want to destroy us for their greed and power.

"A past trend of fraud and/or incompetence, or an unprofessional demeanor are significant personal flaws that I consider when considering the office of POTUS." With that statement you are describing most people who have ran for POTUS in the last 30 years not to mention a sizable quantity of Congress!
