    “And the Great Wall failed every time so the next emperor had to extend it yet again. Didn’t stop the Mongols.”.Actually, it did its job, keeping out horsemen,.https://www.quora.com/How-effective-was-the-Great-Wall-of-China

    “From the beginning of the Great Wall (count “beginning” by Qin Shi Huang’s effort to connect existing walls into one single continuous wall) until the 20th century, the wall was never STRATEGICALLY defeated militarily. It is not to say the wall was not permeable through out its 2300 years history, however..“Due to geography, “barbarians” Chinese faces were very different than “barbarians” Roman faces. Due to vast Asian Steppe in today’s Mongolia and Siberia, these “barbarians” were mostly on horseback; they are mostly hunter/gathers/grazing, and as result, they are in general have much superior cavalry.".This is not to say such a wall would make sense today, it wouldn’t.

    Trump has opened wider the Pandora’s box of Hate. Trolls, excited and encouraged by the familiar scent, foam at the mouth to attack the female, historically the weaker prey. Surprisingly resilient, though, that broad. Smarter than the bloviating narcissist too. The Hate will fester, thanks to stupid men. Goodbye, cruel world. ( Two Ls in Hillary, dude.)

    On grammar, let’s just take the first panel. If the quote was “nobody has better toys than I”, you could understand it as elliptical for “than I have”, meaning that Trump has the best toys. And that’s probably what he was trying to say..But what he actually said was “nobody has better toys than me”. This can only mean that he considers himself a toy; in fact, he considers himself the best toy, or at least the best toy that anyone “has”. Which raises the question, who “has” him as their toy?

    What’s scary is that all Trudeau put in this strip is word for word out of Trumps’ mouth except for the "humility quote. What’s even more terrifying is that one reporter (I think it was) actually got access to one of Trump’s campaign rally’s and said it was like being at a Nuremburg (sp?) rally from the 30’S from how the audience was shouting and responding to Trump’s words. Mainstream Republicans who now shun and distance themselves from Trumps only have themselves to blame for his rise and the discourse coming from their own base. What is that saying, “You reap what you sew”, or something along those lines?

    @mugens: The German spelling is Nürnberg; for English, Nuremberg is quite correct. That aside, the site of the Nuremberg rallies are now the “Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände”, a museum which documents Germany’s fall into collective madness.

    As a voting American (and long-time German resident), I can only hope we won’t have a future need for “documentation centers”.

    Those who dislike Hillary base their dislike on what others have told them about her, much of which is untrue; those who dislike The Donald base their dislike on what he has told us about himself.

    Looks like Hillary gets more Nixonian every day. Funny, though, next to the current GOP bar, Nixon appears progressive, open-minded, and of less than average paranoia.

    @StCleve72“Please ask yourself if you really want to live in a country led by a person who seeks to degrade, debase, and demean those who disagree with him.”.What worries me is that there seem to be an awful lot of people who would honestly answer “yes” to that question.

    “I like to go by what she has said and done.”.Should be both “has” and “hasn’t”. And that should also apply to Trump… and to any candidate for any office.

    I’m not Trump fan (to put it kindly). I like to “share” such information.

    But can Trudeau or someone knowledgeable verify that these quotes are valid? If not Trudeau, URL’s would be nice.

    While these quotes DEFINITELY sound like Trump, I want to be correct. After all, it IS a cartoon strip.
