>>16199>An opportunist is someone who lacks moral and ethical concernWhich again, still leaves absolutely nothing for me to go off of in the original context.
He's an opportunist because... What? He just is?
>I mean I never heard Ramsey suggest to his callers that they should game the system, as Trump has done,Assuming you are correct that he's "gamed" the system, is Donald Trump this Ramsey character?
From what you've described, seeing as you've labeled him an "opportunist" with an explicit moral derision, I would think it pretty irrelevant what he thinks.
Certainly he is not the entirety of Trump supporters either.
Why must Donald Trump, and anyone who supports him, abide by the divine will of Ramsey as though his word comes straight from the heavens themselves?
Seems rather absurd to me. Near as I can tell, there's nothing to justify such a thing, beyond perhaps a conflation of two individuals as the same because they're on the same 'side' politically, which even itself might be a stretch.
>The relevance is that Fundamentalist Christians say people should be moral, yet many appear unable to tell when their moral inclinations are being manipulated, don't care, or supports such manipulation. Okay, but based on what?
And even so, why is that anyone else's problem?
Surely this is an issue for fundamentalist christians, not anyone else, even if we accept your rhetoric.
It doesn't leave Trump or his supporters hypocritical.
At best, it might leave Fundamentalist Christians hypocritical.
>For them, bankruptcy was meant to remove the social stigma of being in debt and give someone a fresh start at the house, wife, and pension.Okay. But you do understand personal bankruptcy and bankruptcy of a business are two different things, and holding different legal regard as consequence, no?
>the magazine article does raise some questions, such as -- was trump originally embarrassed and trying to hide his first bankruptcies? Then after a while, he just got used to them so changed his story?I would humbly suggest that political comics are utterly worthless in all cases.
They invariably contain at best a strawman, and far more typically just flatly dishonest characterizations.
I find no interest in the article; It seems it was just writ by someone critical of the man, and throwing it in with the usual snippy eye-catching way that asserts emotive talking points without any context or explanation.
