Yea I was also confused, then noticed Skippy's statement following those points...
"The last three are demonstrably in the best interests of the nation as a whole, being an investment in the populations current & future well-being and competitiveness."

.... agree completely with Skippy's thoughts on how despotes can get into power, it takes a very messed up population to actually believe in and vote for such a blatantly sick individual as Trump.
