If nothing else, the Trump "solutions" to America's problems ...

Should make it clear ... Americans are stuck on stupid, thinking there are simple solutions to anything that ails America.

I keep hearing that trump's juice is because of the vacuum left by President Obama "not doing anything", and as one talking head said, "the people would rather he do the wrong thing, than be seen as doing nothing."

Is that nuts, or what?

And because those talking heads have been told to say that - and idiots without analytical skills accept on a spoon what they are fed - voila. The expansion of stupid.

What kills me- the same 'stupids' who believe this were all up in arms over the 15 year old American boy abroad with his Jihadist father that was killed by a drone.

Pick one or the other -either you want that - or you want to be 'a-sceeeerdie'.

If people don't understand the complexities of a problem, boil it down to an "US vs THEM" to explain it.
