Previously on "Disgusting comments about Michelle Obama"
"Blessed are the cheesemakers." "It's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to all manufacturers of dairy produce."
He was meant to be a different kind of politician; one who would speak honestly and plainly without playing politics. If he wasn't meant to be taken literally well that just highlights how much that was bollocks, and how much the american public have been duped. He repeatedly said he really would build a wall, and Mexico really would pay, not sort of maybe look into better border defences.
Interestingly enough the biggest complaint has been that the press took Trump literally where as the voters took him seriously.
So things like his plan to have all Muslim carry an ID card was taken literally by the press - but the voting public took it to mean he would crack down on immigration and terrorism - which is actually what he meant.
The problem is people are to quick to jump on the 'omg he said this I need my safe space band wagon' rather than understanding the meaning and feeling behind the words - which is more about the culture and way of life of much of rural America being eroded by the city slickers.

They weren't protest votes, they genuinely believe his claims. You don't put a thin-skinned, openly abusive xenophobe in charge of your own country to teach the ruling class a lesson.

That was a style of speaking frequently adopted by the president-elect of the US, when what he was saying was "I think...(but so that I don't get accused of saying it, I'll claim that others are saying it instead)"
But enough about that.
A lot of men think my wife is very attractive and intelligent.
Phew, I thought you were going to make a sweeping generalisation then, good swerve.
I think the people who voted for Trump are not retards, its the same thing with Brexit, people are fed up with choking on the poles (no pun intended) of the political elite, its a protest vote that things need to change.

A lot of men are sh*t scared of very attractive and or intelligent wives because they lack the confidence to deal with perceived threats. It is no surprise that this would particularly apply to IT contractors.
