"Fallen Eagle"

Sing to the fallen eagle
Helicopters fly
Chase him 'round the mountains
Chase him 'til he dies

They say that it's good sportin'
Shootin' him on the wing
Above the roar and clatter
You can hear your rifle sing
His death song
It won't be long

Sing to the western rancher
The eagle takes his lamb
He's got a thousand others
He don't give a damn

Get up with the sunrise
Everybody gather 'round
Kill him with the first shot
He'll turn and bring you down
Down down
Crash on the ground

Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way
A government team of experts
Is a'rushin' to your aid

I know your not excited
An eagle is no waif
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe
Anymore
That's for sure

The millions of people who like him. The millions of people who dont like him. The media. People who watch the media. Politicians. Business people. People who respond to chess.com forum posts with the name Donald Trump in it asking who cares. That's some of the people who care.

The OP seems pretty reasonable. Plenty of people care about Trump. Those who care about the end of America, at least. Admittedly, not everyone, but some people.

"Moron" doesn't even begin to describe Hillary.

You are so right on all counts. Perhaps most Americans want to continue the trend.

From The Art of the Deal by D Trump:

"Well, a lot of people ask me if I play chess, and actually, I do. I'm great at it. I'm fantastic in fact. Everybody tells me that they love my chess. And I always win - in fact I win so much that I get tired of winning. And my pieces are amazing - they are bigger and better than anybody else's. Some losers say my hands are small, but my hands are actually HUUGE, like my thingummy, it's just that my pieces are GIGANTIC. Next tourney I am going to play the Stonewall Defence - and Mexico will pay for it."

She's not a moron, but she is self-serving. The distinction is important.

Is that "self-serving" an americanism for "thug"?

I don't think it's an Americanism, but it's certainly not anything meant to soften what she is. I have no love for her.

I don't think Americans want to continue on that road consciously; I think they want to continue being in denial that they're on that road in the first place, because denial is comfortable.

lol... yea, over here on this side of the pond we do have a tough choice... but it seems Greece has its own problems too... :)

Yeah, I agree with the proverb insofar as people have a real choice in the matter. Unfortunately, as you mentioned earlier, Greece knows the plight of antidemocratic hands--albeit of a different nature--meddling with the people's will all too well, and likewise all I can do is sympathize.

The ppl with money power and influence dont want him in office, so dont expect it.

Normally Id agree with that statement... but that may not apply to Trump.
