You can't behave like this to other community members on Hacker News. It's difficult to maintain civil discourse on controversial topics, but nevertheless it's what this site is for so we have to ban accounts that won't follow the guidelines.


I know it was out of line, Scott: I've been lurking for years, and know the guidelines.

You cannot ignore though the insane, unprecedented emotional context we're in right now as a nation. Anyway I apologize.

Donald Trump does not have a 'Global Pac' wherein he was accepting money from thousands of foreign business people, and governments.

Donald Trump was not on the speaking circuit for the last few years, taking cheques from hedge funds and large banks.

Donald Trump received no endorsements from newspapers, and most of his party failed to endorse him.

Donald Trump own party apparatus worked against him.

Campaign contributions from Banks and Hedge Funds massively favoured Hillary:

Listen - I don't like Trump, if you ask me, he's kind of a douche.

But he's basically beholden to almost nobody, it's a totally unique idea in modern politics.


Except no one knows who he's beholden to in his personal dealings, and he has effectively said that he will not place Trump Enterprises into a blind trust.



Thank you for pointing that out. I apologize for the impropriety.
