Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not “ignore everything Trump.” He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He’s also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, “actions speak louder than words.” Donald Trump’s political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

    Oh, he definitely does malign things that hurts both the US as a country and Earth as a whole… but not everything he says is indicative of what he does. If you simply take everything he says at face value, you will get so mired in bullshit that you won’t be able to pull yourself out when something meaningful does happen.

      That’s stupid!

      You haven’t actually been paying attention. Every single time he says something, he’s tried to do it.

      The declaration of the possibility of the use of military force in Panama has to be taken at face value. Don’t be a fucking moron.
