Thankyou, there is the proof. As you can see from that list, there is exactly one city in the US bigger than Sydney and Melbourne, and only four bigger than Brisbane. Most American cities are, as I said, very small by Australian standards. (But they have a lot of them, of course.)

Nice try, but Australian cities are of low density and only you don't seem to be aware of this.

Just what imaginary country do you have in mind? Narnia? Middle Earth? No, Australian cities are low density by world standards.
Next you'll be saying Asia doesn't count because, and London because, and Berlin because, and Barcelona because, and Toronto because, and Moscow because, and Beunos Aires because....
That the density of the major cities is far greater than that of Australia.pietillidie wrote:^Here you go. Pick the major cities out.

TRUMP DOES THE UNTHINKABLE. by Liz Crokin
As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.
Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.
In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick
Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief-stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach ,
Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who as the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and
began admitting Jews and blacks.
In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at the traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days, she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately
provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.
Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.
Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race, and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help.
Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd ever run for president. He said: "If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.'"
That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable! On the other hand, have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources?
Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!
Just shows we hired the right guy. If Hollywood , the liberals and the
media ever STOP harassing him, Trump will have time to do many more positive things for our country....the good ole United States of America!!
PS ~ To those who are already Fact Checking, don't bother . . . already did it, and all the stories are TRUE!
The Liberal, progressive, socialists want to destroy this guy. .

^ I'm not saying that I know 100% for sure that Trump raped his wife. I'm just responding to the patently absurd claim from the author that she "had never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president". The guy was the subject of numerous tabloid scandals in the '80s and '90s, and a running joke for much of the media well before he announced his candidacy. I know I was making light of the writer's "entertainment reporter" credentials before, but, seriously, how could she have been unaware of this?
I understand the impulse to play devil's advocate with Trump, and, as you know, I have long found the mainstream media's insistence on obsessing over and inflating every one of his flaws (to the extent of picking apart his press conferences line by line) pointless and tiresome. But as I think I've written before, I think the media at its worst is still preferable to pro-Trump spin, because at least the former is confronting power* (unfairly or otherwise); the latter, on the other hand, is only serving to protect and wield it.
*There are legitimate points here to be made about mainstream media corporations' own power, and how Trump perhaps reverses that dynamic to an extent when he criticises them. But I'm talking specifically here about attacks on Trump vs propagandistic defences of him.

Trump was the one throwing the cat amongst the powerful's pigeons. There's a reason all the establishment figures from both sides despise him and keep running campaigns in their pet media orgs. He destroyed two political dynasties (Clintons and Bushes) and fought off every dirty trick the party establishments had to the point the (R)s decided to join him and the (D)s are giving it up until 2024.
Sure, Trump is powerful, but he fought his way there against the much, much more powerful who didn't want him there. The anti-Trump propaganda machine has made boith his supporters and detractors radicalized and every time I see one of the deranged victims of the propaganda (Muh Russia, Trump peeing on prostitutes etc) I can't help myself.

Actually, speaking of Russia, this is really something:

As much as some of you think Wokko is blinded to one side of Trump, so are you, unbelievable you cant take some good deeds for what they are.
show me one man, or even a woman for that matter, in a position of power that has had no mud slung at them. not even mother Teresa apparently.
