Probably because to collude one would have to work with others, and in Trump’s mind he’s the boss, he’s never ever wrong, he needs no help because he’s the center of the world.

Here, with a little more context than one usually gets, is what Hillary Clinton said about Trump’s two baskets, one filled with “deplorables” (September 9, 2016):
I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, well, he’s done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.
But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.
Notice that Clinton herself said, at the time, that she was being “grossly generalistic.”

I honestly just look to see whether it’s worth even bothering to troll them, whether there’s a minority bothering to put up a fight and then just walk on by if there isn’t. So I’m basically the person who wants to see the bad part of town and then goes “eek! I didn’t realize it was that bad!” before telling the cabbie to get me back to the hotel. Sniffit sees how bad it is and, boom, he’s out of the cab and plowing into the worst of it, knuckleduster already on the hand in his pocket.

It appears that I am increasingly like this old couple I saw years ago at some National Park. They emerged from their RV along the side of the road and the woman immediately declared, “I’m not going past that tree!” (probably 10 feet at most away). Then after 1 or 2 more minutes roughing it in the wilderness of the road-side, “Back in the car! Back in the car!” I’m afraid that’s me–at least when it comes to the inter-swamps.

He was so busy “proving” he was the best, the smartest, and eventually the sexiest hunk ever to be born, that he had no time left over to actually learn anything K-12, much less at Fordham or Wharton. To learn, one must listen to others, contemplate what they say, compare it to others on the same subject, maybe do some original research, gain actual experence. Trump did none of that, ever. He was born knowing everything that was important and it was the world’s job to listen to him. Everything he thinks or says is a superlative, because he is a superlative. Everyone needs to acknowledge that! And if he’s tweeting out what he just heard on TV, that’s because he thought of it first, in fact, they probably learned it from him.

He’s trying to, and successfully i might add diverting any attention from the obstruction of justice allegations against him. Should be interesting to watch the WH assassinate the character of the folks…

“…the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia”. I guess we should be glad it’s Bob Mueller, and not the Dems that are investigating collusion.

Hi Mr. Pa - This is Ivanka - I accidentally came upon this comment when it was circled to me by an intern who’s gaining some valuable work experience by being fired now. I’m really exhausted because I’m in my 3rd week of recovery from a little tuck, all the while maintaining ALOT of concern about americans and little people like you (see dad’s foundation website if you need help). But I can’t control daddy, because I’m REALLY busy empowering women in Chinese factories to excersize their eye/hand co-ordination by sewing. Capitalism is great, and they never complain, so they must be happy. Unlike you, I’m very sorry to say. You sound a little ungrateful, please remember that this is a sacred season to practice gratituding.
luv, Ivanka
