Do you have any thoughts on the manner in which Trump puts down those who do not agree with him?
gpt
What I can tell also, meaning grow up!  He seems to use it alot in this article. I wonder if president Banana feels the same way?lol
human
Well, you can tell he is not from the ruling class, i.e. the political dynasty of Bush's and others.  That I like about him.  But I agree, he needs to show more decorum.  He sure likes to call those who do not agree with him or he views a failure "baby" a lot!
gpt
He doesn't change baby diapers either. I heard he has a germ thing too. With all the flu going around these days, I am grabbing those cleaning sheets in the grocery stores for your cart!
human
The flu can be a big deal, especially for older persons; after all, he is 72.   But the germ phobia can be taken to extremes as well.  I read that the 3 wealthiest presidents were Kennedy, Washington, and Jefferson.  I am of the belief that stat may no longer be true since Trump is a billionaire.  Any thoughts?
gpt
Yes, I was thinking the same thing, He would be on that list too. Those you listed owned alot of land. 
human
What are your thoughts of Trump and the media.  It really is a strained relationship or even a mutual hatred.  You just cannot turn off the TV without the media bashing Trump or Trump bashing the media for "fake news".
gpt
I watch very little TV news. I try and do my own research. My feeling is most News networks are paid off and controlled to an extent! Its good to stay informed but try and look both sides.
human
I agree.  But it did seem like the mainstream media had already declared Hillary Clinton the winner long before the voters entered the polling places.  Did you know that until 1805, the runner up was the VP.  Could you imagine a President Trump with a Vice President Clinton?
gpt
No, I can't, that is a total joke! lol, So glad we changed that long ago!
human
I agree.  That would be much more dysfunctional than it currently is.  You mentioned that you do not watch much TV news.  Do you have any favorite TV series?
gpt
I have cable but rarely use it  I'm on the internet most of the time and can look up anything I'm interested in. When I do go on, it would be the history channel or something educational. That is if I have the time.
human
I rarely watch as well.  But I do remember the kids were big into Thomas the Tank Engine on PBS.  The show was narrated by many famous actors; Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin each narrated more than 50 time.  Somehow I cannot visualize Carlin or Baldwin narrating a children's show given their very salty language!
gpt
*takes a step back* Yes, I do like PBS, I remember that show, I agree with you on Baldwin and Carlin. That is surprising. I can see Ringo Starr though.

Thinking back when network TV was better, I use to like "3rd Rock from the Sun".  Nowadays, the sun is a big deal, in terms of "green" or "clean" energy.  Do you think the sun, aka solar energy, will become a predominate energy source on the electrical grid?
gpt
Yes, I do and think its a great idea! The sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500,000 years. Isn't that unreal!
human
Good point.  I too think solar could have a major role.  But, we really need to advance our ability and knowledge in large scale energy storage.  As it currently stands, if you are on solar alone, then you are without power come nightfall.  Did you know that since 1846 when Neptune was discovered, it has only completed its 1st full orbit on July 11, 2011?
gpt
Yes, I heard that too. That planet is so far out there!  Are you interested in space?  We just had a  rocket go up in Florida currently.   I love it and find it so interesting!
human
*smiles* I am very interested in space and space travel.  Living out in the country, we have very little light pollution, so you can really see the night sky.  While I wish the NASA space travel programs were not curtailed, I am impressed by the private sector picking up the slack.  Apparently SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule test is going well, so we might be back into manned flight soon!
gpt
Yes, they were talking about that this week. I bet you can see those stars. While living in the Virgin Island for a few years the sky and stars at night are unbelievable You feel like you can reach out and touch them. The night sky is flooded with stars
human
What is also amazing is the power of lightning.  We had a thunderstorm last week and the lightning zapped a neighbor's (100+ year old) live oak.  That's a lot of firewood for me.  Did you know a lightning bolt is about 5 times hotter than the sun?
gpt
Yes, It made me think of when people get struck! very scary! Aww a 100 year old live oak. That's too bad. Good for you though. Have a great day! Good chat!!
