The last time someone like this won an election to lead a country was 80 years ago in Germany. The people cheering him on, what a bunch of no-class scum.
Edit: if this megalomaniac troll were to somehow get into the White House, I would put money on him joining these guys before long:
Abraham Lincoln
James A. Garfield
William McKinley
John F. Kennedy
And a bit of ha-ha... you know the 'birther' movement in America, ie- those that are challenging Obama's eligibility due to his alledged non-US birth, well, there is this:
The president’s done his part; now it’s Donald Trump’s turn to show us some proof—of the authenticity of his hair. “Balders,” Vanity Fair explains in a challenge to the real estate mogul, are “a small but increasingly vocal group of conspiracy theorists” who’ve “hijacked the news cycle,” and it’s time to put the matter of Trump’s scalp to rest. Is it natural, or a hairpiece? Or perhaps a transplant?
Already, a number of theories have reared their head, writes Juli Weiner. The most radical balders believe it to be “a deliberately deceptive hairpiece that only resembles a bad comb-over,” or possibly “several smaller hairpieces stitched together.” Sure, Trump has called it “actually my hair,” but that doesn’t rule out a transplant. “A secondary, long-form follicular examination”—certified by a barber—“is necessary.” If balders remain unsatisfied, “we insist that Trump submit to air, wind, and Dutch rub tests.”

I haven't watched the video, but I heard a rumour Trump wants to simply "claim" the oil fields in Iraq and Libya. And while you contemplate that, also note that he has a lot of support for this idea

Yeah. That is what he wants to do. In a sense it is more honest than what the last few incumbents have been doing, for that is what they want too...just too mealy mouthed to say it so clearly.

But his point about China is spot on - no answer to that argument.
The scary bit is when he gets outraged that 99% of people want the peace treaty with Israel to be withdrawn. Not sure what treaty he's talking about, but why does the audience mock the will of the people?
The bankers rubbed their palms together, and the economy went up in flames.

The whole session is a train wreck actually.

And a bit of ha-ha... you know the 'birther' movement in America, ie- those that are challenging Obama's eligibility due to his alledged non-US birth, well, there is this:
The Chinese are the biggest bunch of fascists you will ever meet. Your PC let's be nice coz the look different jibes are carp. As they used to say about the USSR if you think China is so OK why dont you phuck off and live there, yes that's right see if Easyjet do peking.

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
The Yanks are flag crazy, even having a 'flag day'.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
Ever hear of Gitmo, or Abu Ghraib? An open policy detention without charge, torture (waterboarding), rendition, etc...
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Boo, kids! Scary brown skinned man!
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
US Military budget, versus world
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
I'd say that the Yanks and Chinese are on equal footing here.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
Fox, CNN, etc... bringing you daily rubbish and manipulation. Glen Back, Bill OReilly, Rush Limbaugh, Jim Cramer, etc...
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
Department of Homeland Security, TSA, complete federal and state ignorance of the posse cometas act, any others
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
Lower states are denominated heavily by right wing Christian nutcases, and they actively seek to bar Darwin's evolution theory in place of their own creationism pipe dream, ie man walked with dinosaurs, or whatever.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
World Incarceration rates:
United States, greater than 1 in 100
China, roughly 1 in 1000
However, China does lead in executions. Perhaps that's not a bad thing IMO.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
Wall Street? Federal Reserve? Wal-Mart Stores, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, General Electric, Bank of America Corp., ConocoPhillips, AT&T, Ford Motor, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Hewlett-Packard, Berkshire Hathaway, Citigroup, Verizon Communications, McKesson, General Motors..
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Personally, i think Trump could re-vitalize US-mid east Relations. His hairstyle is quite popular in North Africa and the middle east.
He could even share presidential hair-care tips with Algerian president abdul aziz bouteflika

I've come to the conclusion that the only people who love America are:
1. Americans.
2. People from 3rd world countries whose ultimate goal in life is to 'live the American dream'.
That's from having lived over there for 6 years myself.
The mighty neo liberal steam roller that crushed all before it from the 1980s to the beginning of the new millennium has morphed in recent years into a Charlie Carioli clown car that now can not go two yards without loud bangs, smoke pouring out of the engine and the doors dropping off.
