Obama was a good speaker but his actions were quite a bit different... maybe that's why. At least with Trump, you know what you're getting because he appears to be brutally honest.


> because he appears to be brutally honest.

Being ignorant and loud at the same time, does not make someone honest.


For a politician he was honest about what he wanted to accomplish.


Being honest about doing terrible things is not a virtue.


It's better than being dishonest about doing terrible things, though...


Comparing him to horrible doesn't make him great.


I'll never get used to people reading more into what I said than what I said. No, they're both horrible, but one is slightly more horrible than the other.


If all you have is horrible, then less then horrible is better (not saying that it is the case) ...


Only HN thinks Trump is the savior. It's frankly sickening.
