    No he didn't.

    Bullshit. Quit making everything about Trump, unless you like looking like a libtard snowflake.

    The part where he won it. Duh.

    The bottom line is, even if Terry wasn't "racist" (anti-Asian in this case, I suppose), he appeared certainly discriminatory. He lamented the victory of a person because of where that person was from. In an international competition, you might be able to get away with that in some subtle way, but in an individual competition, you just can't judge a person for where they happened to be born. What you call that is up to you, but no matter what you call it, you're going to get in trouble for it, especially if you do it bluntly or clumsily or without context, otherwise known as "using Twitter."

    I'm gonna give ya a big ole whatever for this series of responses. Don't go to the ramparts for trump; it's a sure sign of partisan idiocy. I'm pretty down the middle politically. But I'm far right on not supporting dumbasses like trump. He's a fucking clown. Full stop

    Partisan? I've voted in nine elections in my lifetime, four times Dem, five times Repub. I'm down the middle too. And Trump was clearly the better answer to the other choice or the last eight years. You made this about Trump, so you started it, I'll stop when I damn well want.

    I meant "full stop" as in "full stop" on my end, as in a telegram reference. You're certainly free to carry on. I just find Trump indefensible. The last eight years under Obama were pretty damn good, at least for me, but I can appreciate that they weren't for others and that people wanted change. And change we have gotten...

    Glad your eight years were so wonderful. Mine sure as hell weren't. Fair enough, but that was more like a half stop, eh?

    well during the last six years I lost two full-time jobs, got divorced and lost both of my parents. But I don't blame Obama for any of it. Were there specific policies he proposed or exhorted that had a direct, detrimental effect on you?

    what the fuck is your deal, man? Who the hell is whining about anything? And who ever asked you to feel sorry for me? whatever, have a nice day, tough guy.
