Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I sincerely hope you're right, but watching his press conference was rather alike watching a slow motion replay of a massive motorway crash. But we did learn how small cameras can be these days - a bit like those microphones that can be clipped to your clothes while you talk about grabbing women.
At least Dan Quayle was amusing in his ineptitude. And he knew his potatoe. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
He appears to be a nationalist, this has become a dirty word in these days of political correctness and lack of free speech and opponents usually label nationalists as racists. It is wise to remember that the Democrats are the American equivalent of our Lib Dems, and who would trust them to run a country, they are lucky to still have any MP's after their childish behavior when allowed into coalition government. Their support hit rock bottom after country was given an example of their naivety. Obama was given a chance and has failed to grasp world events, the Russians have run rings around him, now give Trump a chance, at least he is a businessman and not just another lawyer clone from the list of 'acceptable' people who can become president, the Yanks are as fed up with career politicians as we are with EU, think of Trump as the Nigel Farage of the USA.

Quote:
Career politicians practice speeches and work on their 'image' endlessly, and not many of them have any input into their speech content, they have a team of professional script writers to do that. Trump is a businessman and maybe not as polished as the legal eagles who normally find their way into Presidents position. His less than polished performances may be a sign that he is being honest, personally I don't think you can judge until at least 2 years in, when the American voters can also have their say in mid-term elections.

His less polished performances like taking the p!ss out of a disabled reporter, and his inability to to hold a sentence together today while trying to refute allegations about him.
The fact he has shown the lack of caring to the Forbes family near his golf course in Scotland shows how much he really cares about the average person.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
it does not matter who is in power in America, the President is only a figurehead of the elected party just like out Prime minister is over here. its the wheels and cogs in the background that run a country (excluding dictatorships).
he is trying his best to get kicked out of office as i feel he really never expected to get elected. personally i like Trump. the world economy has collapsed and every country is feeling the pinch which makes the public miserable as they are the ones who have to bail out mistakes made by politicians with such things as increased taxation or reduction of funding to public services and culture. this reflects on public voting and to a point people dont care so vote for change. the cost of living has skyrocketed in relation to wages which in turn reflects on businesses who are paying out more on wages so the price of goods and services has to go up to cover this... the wheels on the bus go round and round... |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Oh yeah since when does a good businessman file for bankruptcy 4 times. Might be good for him to clear his debts but what about those he left unpaid.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
He shouts down journalists when they ask tough questions he doesn't like (CNN reporter today) and publicly bashes his own security services when they suggest nation state hacking despite his Secretary of State elect saying that ye is a reasonable assumption that Putin was behind hacking.
Shooting from the hip and not thinking. You're right it's just like Farage. It's frightening. |
