Trump is undeniably a jerk. You have to be as gullible as John Larkin to assert that he's "usually right". In reality, Trump is usually lying, and John Larkin is too ill-informed to notice.

Given John Larkin's judgement about what might be "right", this isn't comforting.
There do seem to be three million more Americans with better judgement, but 63 million with barely adequate judgment against 60 million gullible suckers wasn't a great result, and not enough to undo the mistakes of the founding tax evaders.

WOW! You got one right for once. You're learning. I'm impressed!
If the woman is just looking for a free dinner, she's likely a Democrat anyway and wouldn't understand anything about being right.
Work is something Democrats simply cannot understand.
Being usually right is not a remarkable skill.

It certainly is for a politician.
It is in today's world.

John Larkin thinks he knows which decisions are correct. This is the guy who thinks that anthropogenic global warming is a hoax, and wouldn't matter even if it were going on.
-- Bill Sloman, Sydney
It's not.
For instance someone who is usually wrong would be unable to do simple tasks like walking.

Except the claim that he is such, or even approaches 'rightness' is what is wrong with the remark.
Donald J. Trump is an abject idiot. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence can see it.
The depressing thing about Donald Trump is that he isn't an abject idiot.
He's clever enough to appeal to moderately intelligent people, and is aware that he isn't clever enough to work a more perceptive audience - they may have more money, but they aren't going to fall for the lines that he can de liver with real conviction. So he doesn't bother wasting time on polishing his lines too much.
If he can win over John Larkin and Cursitor Doom he's got enough supporters to look like a winner, until somebody genuinely competent shows up, but th ey've all wandered off to gigs with better quality audiences.

I don't begrudge the kids having a better standard of living and expectations than we had, but they do need to learn the value of money and it's relationship to work. Our two lads did the washing up and household chores for their pocket money. It can be a hard, brutal world out there and kids need to be prepared for that. No BS, tell it like it s, no excuses etc :-)...

No. He absolutely IS an abject idiot. Eachand every lie he told about 'finishing top in his class' is further proof that the stupid bastard makes excuses for his lackings at every turn.
The depressing thing about Donald J. Trump is that total retards like you actually think he is intelligent.
He rates about a 3 on the NYC smarts scale.
You're a big one to be talking about "being usually right", AlwaysWrong.
If he were a complete idiot, he wouldn't have done as well as he has.
He lies more or less non-stop, but his lies are close enough to reality tha t a lot of people find them plausible. He long since worked out that tellin g the truth doesn't work for him, but that that he ca lie plausibly enough to fool enough of the people, enough of the time.
I don't think that he is particularly intelligent, but he is of above-avera ge intelligence, and has a practiced set of tricks that do allow him to foo l enough of the people enough of the time. If he had been trained to think things through from an early age he might have been able to do better, but he learned at an early age that plausible lies worked, and could be put tog ether a lot faster than a more accurate - and less profitable - narrative.
He does seem to be a trifle psychopathic, and it's a question whether he st arted lying because he was a psychopath or whether the psychopathic attitud e is one that developed as part of the necessary skill set as he got to be a more skilled and fluent liar
He hung around with clever people in New York society. They didn't think mu ch of him, but nobody went to the trouble of derailing his little red waggo n either.

Inability to do even the basics with money is a major problem for kids today. It all gets weed away on nothing of consequence, spent on things I'd never consider spending on. Then when they run out guess who they ask for more!
If only they could implement some sense they'd have a much better standard of living.

Nice try, punk. You have been "AlwaysLame" for years because of your stupid shit. Die already, you pathetic worm.
Not at all. Most of my notebook pages never get red-line revision, because they're fine the frst time. 'Usually right' is so commonplace, in fact, that it's puzzling to hear someone getting something wrong; why would that happen, you can (A) think it through, or (B) defer to an expert, or (C) keep silence. It does take some broad knowledge to know when to go with (B), though.
Why would one think 'today's world' is full of errors? More likely, some agressive stupidity or clickbait hype/ambiguity has come to your attention.
Review the portal through which you see "today's world" and you'll probably see that you're looking through a flawed lens.

John Larkin is a gullible twit. Anybody who believes denialist propaganda a bout anthropogenic climate change is bound to think that today's world is f ull of errors, because not everybody share his particular set of preferred delusions (which does include the idea that Trump knows what he is doing).

Always wrong. Don't worry, DimBulb, I'll be around for another twenty years.
