Criticism, or a media wide "witch hunt" about his weight etc.? Oh, those memes and jokes don't count ? So far I've checked, he's still a legitimate presidential candidate. What the mainstream media doesn't obsess about is the Clinton business, not to mention censoring the whole health issue as a "conspiracy theory".
> Why does anything associated with Trump often lead to some relation to something Putin is doing, however, indirect?
I have no clue, because only one obsessing with Putin are the regressive left Americans. The boogeyman mantra apparently still stands and can be used effectively.
*Disclaimer: I'm a EU citizen and don't even believe in "left" or "right", because those are idiotic terms to frame political belief. The world isn't "left" or "right", or "white" or "black", or "blue" and "red". This is a very simplistic view of the world and I'm afraid very typical for US. I also believe a very simple life rule, the answers to "cui bono" (who benefits) and "who pays the check" ? Because those answers are at the end the only ones who have some weight, everything else is based on emotions.
I want less involvement of USA in the world affairs and the boosting of the empire, so I agree with Trumps words of minding your own business and cleaning crap at home first. Not to mention that Clinton is pro-war with Russia, Trump is not and that's fine with me.
