I disagree with this.
Have not the actions of the US for many years caused others around the world to hate the country, Yes. Do I think this affects the views of the people on this forum concerning the US and Trump, of course. It looks to me as though this is a limiting factor, blinders, to see anything of value being done with Trump, all is cast in the same light of power hungry conquest. I see him and team, freeing the country from the spiral death of the globalists, which he's doing. Can this help the rest of the world, maybe. Will this require aggressive moves, of course.
You will likely call me ponerized and programed because my perception tells me other then what you believe is true. You have cornered the market on truth apparently.
I don't think FM258 is ponerized. He is expressing what millions of Americans agree with and see that support the POTUS. In this case it's where you are and what you see which is important. Here I see people interpreting current events from the same old play book which could be called programing. The only way to tell for sure is wait to see how things will play out.
You are talking about individuals here, are you absolutely sure there is no programing involved? A person who is honestly following the path, which requires constant inner observation, will often notice how many times they are wrong about things. I know this because I see it in myself. I place little value on "being right". So, in truth, you could be wrong. I don't think I'm wrong the same as you. But an opening must be present to allow new information to come in.
Over all most of what is expressed here is negative about Trump, OBVIOUSLY. It often appears that contrary views such as what FM258 expressed are quickly shot down. It's said this is being objective...hmm. It looks very one sided to me. The right man syndrome in full throttle? "You agree with us or your programmed and brainwashed". No one likes criticism and what I say here won't be liked for sure.
I take the original principles of this forum very seriously. I am dedicated to doing the best I can to obtain an objective view on reality. There are many, many facets and subtleties to perceiving realty. We all have our biases which must be seen since they interfere with true vision. . I place a high value on truth which allows me to sense deception quickly and not fall into programing. It doesn't work on me. That goes along with what the C's said once, that the dedicated can't be given false information, paraphrased. This is who I am and what I see.
It's no wonder those who support Trump and see it differently won't post here. It makes you believe the negative is the majority and it is. The world is a big place.
p.s. Trump isn't narcissistic in the clinical sense of the term because he considers the welfare of others. He has a big, strong ego and is very self assured which is needed in his position.
Did you read his letter to Norway?
