I guess from that point of view it really is only a problem for one of the candidates.

For what it's worth, watch a video of Trump after 9/11. He was still a narcissistic ass, but he was far more cogent.

Yeah, I think it's a combination of those puritanical ideals and "rugged individualism" where if bad things happen to you you probably deserve it, and it's up to you to fix it. Like how America spends as much on government healthcare as most other developed countries, and yet that only covers Medicare and Medicaid, and then have to get private insurance on top of that, because not helping others who can't help themselves is more important than making your own life better.

I didn't mind my own business when a woman accidentally walked into the bathroom I was using. That was mostly because I was using the urinal, and it was more visible than I'd like from the bathroom door. Not her fault, just badly designed.

You're not wrong, but the people you describe aren't the ones this article is about.

You're not wrong, but a solution to the homeless that helps them, thus making them less of a problem for you, and is forward-looking to reduce the number of homeless helps in the future will yield better long-term results. This isn't cheap, and will be attractive to homeless people living where there aren't these options, which increases the burden on those states that are actually trying to solve the problem rather than mitigate the visible symptoms. I realize you probably aren't in a position to change that, and certainly dealing with the symptoms you describe is also important.

Look two words to the left.

I'm not speculating at all. I'm pointing our how much of a reach your speculation is. We can't even be sure they're there for Trump's talk. That looks like a convention center, they could be there for something else. I tried to find the location this was taken, but I'm not finding it.

I heard that called seagull management. Swoop in, make a lot of noise, shit everywhere, then leave.

I'm not sure that more loose cannons is the solution to the number we have now. I suppose if he was on a tight leash they could always threaten people to smarten up or they won't hold him back.

Exactly. The presidential election isn't where problems like that will be solved. You're looking at the wrong venue to air your legitimate grievances, at the risk of personal harm to yourself and people like you. You should absolutely try to address that, but it will not be easy and it won't start at the presidency.

You mean, like this? Or this? I found better examples on my web search, but they appeared to be from personal sites, and I wasn't broadcasting that.

There are curves etc. around the belly button that will stretch and twist fabric like that, particularly if they're somewhat tight. Weight doesn't have a large bearing on it, but lighting will make it more or less obvious. If you can see it in staged pictures, you will see it in more casual settings. And it's not too surprising an artist would notice details like that.
