...There's this speculation that Trump - alleged Straight-Edger - is on coke (Charlie/Bolivian Marching Powder) , with all his sniffing , too ! !! !! !! !! Carrie Fisher says so* ! 
(And I saw another speculation reported) - Now ,Dubya did it BEFORE he was in-

That's the most bizarre invented scenario yet, in this whole strange election discourse. If he really believes this, then he is probably showing paranoid features as well as the previously noted symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. All this and perversion too. And some people still want to vote for him, though not as many at present, it seems.
plus he keeps having "senior moments" in terms of saying the wrong things, most recently he told people to go out and vote on November 28 [election day is the 8th], so I am wondering if he is starting to become senescent?

...Who was this bad PM ? I want to look the story up .
Things are probably not as rose coloured here as Americans may generally think; perhaps that misunderstanding is the influence of seeing the pretty pictures of impressive scenic locations.
Not surprisingly, New Zealanders as a whole know far more (far, far more) about the USA than vice versa. A very large proportion of New Zealanders have spent time there, and we are an American ally. For the time being. This has been so ever since the Americans were invited to and hosted in New Zealand for rest and recreation periods during WW2. Until recently, I don't think anyone seriously thought that the situation as allies could, would or should change markedly. It is different now. The vast majority of kiwis are alarmed by Trump, he is far more disliked here on a per capita basis than in his own country, and editorial opinions tend to be the same, even from the most conservative newspapers. He is seen as boorish, bullying, narcissistic and dangerous, not only to Americans but to the world. Clinton is not particularly liked either, though she is not seen as any of those things (she is almost unanimously preferred here for that reason).
New Zealand has only had one Prime Minister in the past with proto-fascist demagogue tendencies, and not so long ago. These memories are still fairly fresh, (he was voted out in 1984, after he called a snap election during a drunken episode captured on television), people still remember the damage to others that his vindictive nature caused, he took the slightest disagreement as a personal slight on himself. They can see the same fault in Trump, I think, and this has been another influence in the nationwide anti-Trump feeling here.

...Thank you , B19 . " Superannuation scheme " ? Meaning big out-ythe-door payouts firing/reducing employments plans ? I'm sorry , I'm banging this one out .
Interesting too see , again , that " scheme " as a noun , in a Isles/Commonwealth English usage , can be neutral/complimentary , a " scheme " , in American usage , is , essentially?? , always pejorative/at least mildly a --- dimunitave(Sp??)/putdown ????????? I've noticed that many time before - It's in my scheme ! !! !! !! !! !!
