Judging an entire group of people is prejudging. Applying a generalization to a particular member of that group is inappropriate. So you can imagine how we feel when blanket statements are made about, for instance, "the Jews" with no qualifications as to whether they are Israeli, American, European or whatever, or whether they are Zionists or not, or which type of Zionists they are. Or whether they are rich international bankers or the 99.999% who are not. We can make similar discussions about this  to blacks, illegal aliens etc.


On the other hand, if we never make generalizations about groups, that would eliminate half the content of the macro level social sciences. Whether a generalization is biased depends on how it's phrased.


Inappropriate or not, people will continue to make generalizations about illegal aliens, qman will continue to make them about Jews and those on my side will continue to make them about Trump supprters.

Our MAGA President doesn't need their adulation. Globalists

Quote:

In August 2014, Donald Trump tweeted, "We need a president who isn't a laughing stock to the entire world. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!"

He was considering a presidential campaign at the time and, in retrospect, was clearly thinking of himself as a "truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning".

Well today as President, Donald Trump was literally laughed at by delegates at the United Nations General Assembly.

"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country," he stated flatly.

"Amurricurrrs …" he stumbled. "So true …" he ad-libbed awkwardly.

A slow ripple of laughter reached Mr Trump's podium from the domed 1,898-seat auditorium.

As literally as it's possible to be, the American President just became "a laughing stock to the entire world".

The title should read: The popularity of Donald J Trump abroad means nothing.

Then the thread should end.

If it means nothing to you, fine.

We get U.S. politics shoved down our throats every single day on tv, in print, on radio here, the rest of the world has every right to have an opinion.

Why should the world NOT be interested to see what sort of character is at the wheel of the most militarily powerful nation on earth?

Ignorance is a choice that doesn't interest me.

America 1st?

That's the same rhetoric as nazism. It's either about the color of the skin or the color of a flag.

Why wouldn't I want my government representative to put priority on my nation first? 

What does the CEO of Ford put first?  Their shareholders, I expect the same for our political representatives.
