High speed rail and renewable energy. Both massive undertakings tackling massive problems for China and both done far faster and on a much larger scale than anywhere else. If there’s one country I actually trust to be proactive about securing its future, it’s China. I’ll take the wait and see approach to the supposed imminent demographic collapse

No, I don’t really enjoy life and never really have. I don’t want another person experiencing what I do.
Part of being a politician is being appealing. He’s not just reciting information.
Yeah I somewhat agree, I think it’s more likely that he’s emphasising his natural cadence as opposed to a total fabrication. People like to call him dumb but he is possibly the most successful con man in history. If you think he’s an idiot you’re falling for it too.
Idk I read that passage and I can mostly understand what he’s saying, I’d go as far as to say it’s just as understandable as a lot of the word salad non answers from typical politicians. This sounds like how someone might present themselves in conversation, someone who isn’t trained in how to give speeches or have a high level understanding of language construction. People vote on vibes and the vibes trump is giving up is some guy you might bump into in the pub. That is an exceedingly valuable thing to have as a politician in a society that largely doesn’t trust its politicians. And in my opinion they have good reason not to trust them, it’s unfortunate who was able to capitalise most on that distrust though.
I read the original comment as referring to quality, not substance, of his speech. Both are lackluster but the average American isn’t eloquent so his style of speech appeals to them more than a typical politician.

This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.3·4 days agoWell it’s not like people are really here for long format posts. Those people are probably reading books.

To be fair his support base specifically likes him because he doesn’t speak like a typical politician. There are numerous accounts of trump supporters saying things like “he says it like it is” and “he’s a guy you could have a conversation with.” I think there is something to the way he speaks that resonates with people. I’m from Australia and it feels like all politicians speak in a specific way. They talk like they’re walking on eggshells and it’s not appealing to me. Trump’s terrible, but his speech is iconic. And honestly, sometimes I’m not sure if he sounds dumb purely because I’m used to politicians speaking with a manufactured eloquence. Maybe if I heard a random person speaking with Trump’s cadence I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Clearly not
States doing piracy to each other without war was a staple of the golden age of piracy. It was called privateering.
Unlike you bigots, I’ve already masturbated to AI generated images
I mean we’re talking about the US here which explicitly reserves the right to invade the Netherlands if any of their soldiers end up in The Hague for any reason.
I mean the. Catholic church, patriarchy, most Major religions come to think of it.
Really liked that time the cia couped my democratically elected government
