jc, I believe I have a fair idea of what the impact of the next few
appointments to the SCOTUS will be. IF the mother of Obama gets to choose
(the next four), I expect superstition to be jettisoned from all US
government  proceedings. IF the aggrandizing one wins, there will be a slew
of Mexican-American appointees. The court would be referred to as the Trump
Court and the White House will be re-branded as the Trump House.

Here is well, how people in the US view Bwana Trump.

TRUMP BLAMES BAD POLL NUMBERS ON EXISTENCE OF NUMERICAL SYSTEM
 AUGUST 15, 2016

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO —Donald J. Trump lashed out at a new target on Monday,
blaming his bad poll numbers on the existence of the numerical system.

In sometimes rambling remarks at an outdoor rally in Ohio, the Republican
Presidential nominee called the numerical system “rigged” and unleashed a
torrent of abuse on numbers themselves, calling them “disgusting” and “the
lowest form of life.”

“It’s why I won’t release my taxes,” he said. “They’re full of goddam
numbers.”

While Republican candidates in the past have attempted to exploit their
supporters’ distrust of math, Trump is believed to be the first nominee to
call into question the numerical system itself.

Behind the scenes, G.O.P. insiders fretted that, in attacking the very
existence of numbers, Trump was veering wildly off message.

“He should be talking about Hillary Clinton, and instead he’s going off on
integers,” one insider said.

Officially, aides remained upbeat about the campaign and denied reports
that Trump was spending an increasingly large portion of each day angrily
muttering to himself and chewing on paper.

Cecil, Could you tell us which parts of Roland's arguments you disagree
with any why?

QUOTE

Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for
argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is
rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the
person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather
than attacking the substance of the argument itself.[2]

Ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, for example, when it relates
to the credibility of statements of fact or when used in certain kinds of
moral and practical reasoning.[3]

Fallacious ad hominem reasoning is normally categorized as an informal
fallacy,[4][5][6] more precisely as a genetic fallacy, a subcategory of
fallacies of irrelevance.

I am seeing a lot more in common with these two politicians than meets the eye.

Do you think Parrikar would come to the eye of Modi and become the Defence

Did not talk of Zero Corruption no matter what his 'live and let live'

Did not make a bosom friend out of Goa's Catholic patriarch.

Did not buy out the administration's top prosecutor.

Did not be an obedient pracharak of the RSS and a Yes Man of the BJP's brass.

Did not promise to remove all casinos from Goa while letting them provide him

Villify the Muslims, America's favourite whipping boys.

Promise to win all future wars.

Promise to bring lost jobs home again.

Promise to repeal existing trade treaties because they were not favourable to
