It's tough to argue with someone who thinks that Kim Kardashian is so superior to him that she deserves more votes than him come election time.

There's really no argument here. Kardashian statistically adds more to the economy monetarily than I do. Has zilch to do with superiority. Realistically she'd only get 1 or 2 more weighted votes compared to my 5 even though she's paying far more taxes, hiring people, buying more shit than I could ever dream of.
You think trailer trash Tony on food stamps and not paying any federal taxes should have an equal vote to myself or yes, even a Kardashian? (Side note - this is by no means an endorsement of what she does and how it influences our society)
Yes, everyone deserves a vote and it's not a perfect idea. Those able bodied people getting handouts are ALWAYS going to vote for someone that will keep the status quo or promise to give them more. This is a large chunk of the population. As horrendous as Kardashian and many other media types are, they are actually working and producing something regardless of how awful it is. And the fact is, it levels the playing field and gives the middle class (most Americans) more say in our politicians who are currently just bought with truckloads of money.
And to wrap it up..... it will NEVER happen anyway, so it's not really an argument going on, just a thought on what could make the voting system better. There's probably some hole in my logic that I didn't even think of.

So Trump doesn't only troll the media. I could understand if this was a "media strategy".
However he trolls other countries, like Danemark, insulting its head of state.
Also insults to other US politicians are now common.
Why have a discussion when you can trade insults? That's always a great way to work with people.
This guy throws tantrums like a 4 years old.

I don't understand his plan with Greenland. That one surely looks stupid at this point with the way he handled it. It's not some small undertaking to have a visiting foreign dignitary, let alone the POTUS and then bail 2 weeks before the the trip over something that was highly unlikely to ever happen anyway (purchasing Greenland).
Even in real estate, his supposed profession, pissing off the seller before meaningful talks is rather stupid. Yes the US has leverage with printed cash, but that's all we got if Trump actually wants to purchase Greenland. Denmark could stop NATO payments tomorrow and would be as safe as they were yesterday. It was really an odd move and I'd be interested to see someone come up with what his strategy actually was. Any yes I understand the strategic value of Greenland and also the potential resource value of Greenland. Doesn't mean it will just be ours because Trump wants it.

However, the Danish PM wasn't very nice. "Big Countries don't buy small countries anymore". That was kinda condescending.
Trump is the remedy for 8 years of bowing and scraping and apologies by Obama. It's simply getting back to even steven not to take any disrespectful crap. Even from the Danes.
Greenland is a Danish protectorate, not a country. There has been talk of Denmark getting out of being responsible for Greenland since the end of the Cold War (actually, before).
Harry Truman also offered to buy Greenland. Is #HaberdasherManBad?

When he tweets something like: "Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
He knows full well this is going to cause a shit storm. He reveals in such storms.
He knows the press will scream "Racist". He is baiting them to do it. He's deliberately pushing the left toward strident SJWism.
He knows his supporters will look at the media and chant TDS TDS TDS.
Well... maybe he had something to do with triggering these reactions.
The guy is a troll.
He's training people to see such cries about racism as overdone and reflections of strident leftism.
