Don't get me wrong here, But I LIKE Donald Trump.

If we can guarantee another century of anything like normal. (Not that that is good enough) We must start thinking and being correctly informed if there's any real future for us all. Nev

If we could dismantle media conglomerations and go back to the independent local or regional media style of the 19th Century we would broaden the scope of opinion on political matters. A return to emphasis on local news, with condensed national and international reports would make the media a relevant source of information rather than the infotainment it is now.

 

 

[facthunter]

It's not entertaining. It's mind altering, money making deliberate LIES and deception, done by experts for their GAIN.(and at your loss). Nev

The correct term is propaganda with a big dose of sport to keep the masses distracted.

Donald is now thinking of BUYING Greenland.

 

 

[hihosland]

Good thinking;-

 

get in and buy it cheap before the greenhouse effects of burning what's left of Pennsylvania's coal makes Greenland green again.

 

MAKE GREENLAND GREEN AGAIN!!

 

sounds like one of Donald's slogans

I was listening to LBC last night which is a talk back station that has hosts from all sides of th political spectrum but definitely has a right-wing focus. Jacob Rees-Mog has a weekly segment and Nigel Farage has a Mondat - Thursday segment (though he can no longer take a fee as he is a MEP again).

 

Anyway, amongst the banal Brexit conversation, their political editor, who is fair to say normally takes a measured tone to Trump was emphatic he had gone off his rocker. I won't go into everything but ut was worrying that people at his speeches/convetions were enthusiastically cheering him - amongst things accuations the Democracts called him a Nazi (not true - racist yes; Nazi - no), accused a demonstrator at one of his conventions as having a weight problem - when clearly the demonstrator was svelt; the Greeland thing and blaming the Republican electoral defeat in the Hampsires as a "paranormal event where a lot of voters turned up..."

 

Apparently, unlike his predecessors who lost mid-terms, the polls continue to slide and more and more senior republicans are calling for another endorsed leader to run the next election... We can only live in hope..

Talking of Brexit, I hear UKIP's new leader has a very appropriate name.

 

His surname is "Braine", which is definitely UNsuitable for anyone involved in UKIP, but this is mitigated by the fact that his first name is "Richard".

 

Use its common contraction and you get the picture.

 

 

[Litespeed]

Now I just consulted my own dickbrain and confirm it is far more intelligent and honest than UKIP.

 

My little brain reminded me what UKIP really stands for....

 

U know Its Psychopathic.

You would think his mother and father would have known.. Nev

Don't forget the impending recession about to strike the USA due mainly from Trumps policies.

 

That will kill his election chances. He has already started blaming enemies like the fed reserve, economists, the democrats and naturally the fake news.

 

Next he will say its sunspots.

Yes, the orange one is the best ad for contraception.

Contadiction is not allowed regardless of any perceptions to the contrary

 

It's all fake, because you didn't get it from me.

 

I am the way,the truth and the Life. There will be false prophets but my PROFITS are real and MY business is MY business.(But he's a fake President and ordinary Golfer and tells porkies on a grand scale and no one knows, (including HIM,) what he will do next. Nev

In reference to the thread title, I finally got to like Trump. He's fired that dangerous fool.

 It was HIS idea to hire him in the first place. The rest of the world can breathe a little easier now the outrageous warmonger has gone. I don't care if he jumped or was pushed. Definition of momentary. The length of a trump employee's tenure..  Nev

 

 

[Yenn]

How many of his crew have been sacked or have left? I wonder how his record would compare with any other president. The frightening thing is that he is acting as a model for all the other leaders of political parties.

 

 

[facthunter]

Like all weird whacko's and manipulators he will have his rusted on adherents for whom he can do no wrong , who ignore all the outrageous behaviour and believe his tweets and IF ever he's terfed out for some misdeed ,they will regard that as a conspiracy against a Saint. Nev

After checking out the sad line up of Democrat candidates, I think we'll have to get used to the idea of this show doing a second tour.

 

 

[pmccarthy]

Its a tribute to the US system that he hasn't started a war yet. There must be enough checks and balances to ring fence even the totally loopy.

 

 

[Methusala]

I think to the contrary. Donald Trump has taken decisions, on several occasions, to negate the war mongering actions of people like John Bolton. For example,  the non-attack on Iran following downing of a US drone.

Yep. How dare a little country defend itself from encroachment by US aircraft!

 

 

[Bruce]

I reckon Methusala has a good point. If you bluster a lot then you can do things like bring the troops home without appearing weak.

 

I think it possible that the US is at war less under Trump than it was with Obama.

...I think it possible that the US is at war less under Trump than it was with Obama.

 

 Bit simplistic. How many wars did Obama start? How many did he inherit?
