In true dictator style, trump must control the press:

Donald Trump May Love Good Press, But His Campaign Is The Most Hostile To Reporters Secret Service denies enforcing press restrictions, though some agents have appeared to do just that. Jan 15, 2016 | Updated Jan 15, 2016

 

But in recent weeks, journalists have again been ordered not to leave the press pen by campaign staffers and volunteers and even Secret Service agents, according to reporters who were granted anonymity to speak candidly. Journalists also said they were not allowed to approach the candidate to ask questions after events. The Trump campaign, at times, has ignored its November agreement with the press corps and, even more troubling, the Secret Service has appeared to enforce the campaign's press restrictions, reporters say.

And this.

Drumpf doesnt recognise the constitution.

I tried searching for pictures of his parents and grandparents, to see if the genetics were there for a full head of hair. I know that male pattern baldness is complicated and sex linked, but I went looking anyway. I definitely think he had some plugs done. His father had a high forehead, if not a bit receding. I couldn't tell what his mom's dad looked like, but if any one finds a pict, please share.

Joan-- What he is actually saying— is he thinks Bill Gates would be the guy to talk to who might have a way to circumvent and cherry pick the internet aspects being exploited by terror groups, such as ISIS. I read your article link and you left off where it is pretty much impossible for the USA to shut down the internet because of the myriad of servers and parts that are its make-up.

GSD-- you must learn not take what comes out of Trump's mouth as a full formed thought, right off the bat. He is impulsive and self-preserving in every aspect. Not to mention how being so rich makes him defensive and sue happy when his image is threatened. What I have read about that threat is that he can't succeed, giant hissy fit, notwithstanding.

Also, I actually do think there was a break in his form in the way he handled the KKK comment. It could be that he didn't want his momentum deflected onto the "race card" at the last minute. A brushing off of a calculated hot button, red herring type of thing. Or, something else. In any case, his response did not ring true to me.

I am more interested in the Anti-Trump super PAC that is preparing itself to knock his train off the tracks. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/super-tuesday-2016-gop-strategists-donors-sign-on-to-anti-trump-super-pac/

As for the question of whether Hillary is unbeatable or not; I think no one knows for sure. If she does get her place cemented in the history books as the first woman US President and her only real accomplishment of note turns out to be her gender, then maybe you will understand where my biggest disappointment will be coming from.

I read that Salon article and really, there is pretty much no substance to it at all. There is growing disparity in middle class incomes, that is not what I disagree with. The reason is not the fault of wealthy business men who are successful. The problem is, like I said before, is that the high tech jobs not requiring college degrees have disappeared, shipped over seas or across our boarders. I don't claim to be an economist of any great understanding, but didn't Bill Clinton have to do with the beginnings of all that? Wasn't that what NAFTA did?http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/nafta-signed-into-law

It's not that thedrompf CAN shut down the internet, it's the fact that he WANTS to shut it down and control control control. His hair style is the least of the issues with that dictator.

Bee,

It wasn't Clinton but the first Bush who signed it. You are very confused about a lot of things. The article (Salon) wasn't playing the blame game as far as who did what but was merely pointing out that peoples misunderstandings are leading to Trumps rise are far fetched and wrong. And you can try and blame the loss of jobs on government but no one is forcing American companies making hundreds of millions and billions to move jobs overseas but greed is and in that respect, yes it is on big businesses because 10s of millions just isn't enough. They need to make 100s of millions by moving jobs to other countries. But what they have generally found out is the grass is not always greener on the other side. Prime example - my company had this brain fart some years ago they would move jibs to Mexico and what they found out was that the people were generally untrainable and in the end they lost the contract. And it has taken years for the company who pulled the work to trust us again. We are now starting to be allowed to bid on new work.

If he is impulsive, then he has no business being President and walking around with nuclear codes. Unbelievable that you are trying to justify him by using excuses that just do not fit with a sound president. SMH. All we need is an impulsive president.

I think it is not so much about him having personal or dictatorial control, but rather his solutions to difficult problems are usually of the Occam's Razor approach in regards with simplicity being a main component. If you notice, all his "solutions" take that sort of tack. I really don't think he's the possessor of any great, or special mental acuity or vision. I checked out his education and really, not all that impressive. I imagine he was the type to scrape by with "C's or B's".

His success and position in life is due to luck or circumstance --family wealth inheritance that gave him his start, he has no fear of risk taking, (NYC real estate, no money down really paid off for him) and his perserverence, (one has to give him that!) and the self-marketing skills we see as showmanship.

Uh, well, I will have to disagree. I would say, it is debatable about who is the most confused!
