Do the math- how do you get a job back to America that has been lost to a low wages country? You either lower wages in America or build a protectionist wall. Am I missing some genius third way?

I haven't anywhere said if we will or will not , all I have said is that you have no idea what is going to happen so stop lecturing people with the belief that your view is the right view , We are all welcome to an opinion but I will not tolerate being lectured because you don't like his beliefs , suck it up he was elected democratically and he will do his job . Whether or not you like it is inconsequential. |

I am just repeating what he said again last night in his inauguration speech.
Should that not be believed? Who was he lying to? He sounded pretty emphatic to me.

Again just an opinion and not directed at you PT There , easy peasy japanesee . |

I just think that it's amazing that this thread is 26 pages long - 25 of which is taken up by the SJW's telling us what Trump has done wrong as president and how he will bring about Armageddon - and he hasn't had the job for a day yet!
From the TV coverage I've seen since the Inauguration of President Trump, what is interesting is - and let's not even consider the vindictive O'bummer and Clinton, or the "celebrity" losers - the parallels between the thumb sucking hand wringing punter in the street in the US, and our own precious leftards ... these SJW's who claim superiority to anyone with a moderately conservative view, who engage in their endless pilgrimage to defend the downtrodden victim class, who spend all of their waking moments allegedly protecting the minorities from any kind of imagined abuse and suffering, still have the time to arrange vigilante groups to go out and force their opinions and beliefs on the people who rejected them ... and they do it by way of confrontation, blind rage, and criminal verbal and physical conflict, aimed directly at anyone who actually supports the democratically elected ruling party ... they are the greatest bunch of cry baby dick heads I can recall seeing in action anywhere!  ... and they STILL don't get it!

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Yeah, Passing Through seems to have an almighty time struggling with the concept of Americans voting in someone based on their own self interest. As if we don't do the same here or something. I see the celebrity gang is out in force today again. Madonna in her speech; "Good will win in the end" Madonna in part of her song; "Donald Trump suck a d**k, I'm not your b*tch". The celebrity hypocrisy above is a beautiful example of why these people helped Clinton lose the election, and they are still doing it. Settle in for a yuge 4 years. |

I know some of you blokes wouldn't have a clue which way is up, but you vote with a sense of how you are impacted and the mutual benefit a govt can provide. Usually a US President has a neutral effect on our situation. Trump wants us involved in blockading our biggest trade partner, and promises to make us pay heavily for the privilege. We spent a long time trying to get US to lower tariffs on particularly agricultural trade. Barnaby Joyce celebrated the negotiating of a better deal on a number of products that would energise our farming sector. Trump has vowed to undo that Maybe you can't or don't want to see it but when we are struggling to pay our bills and lower paid workers and pensioners are being asked to carry a bigger burden for deficit repair, Trump has just raised our rent and increased the cost of everything we buy. How is that something to celebrate? He isn't making Australia great again. |

that is democracy they voted him in, fine, the problem is if they think it is in their own self interest , well, it is always about Trump's self interest, America is stuffed for at least 4 years and many other countries with it |

Donald Trump at a monument to CIA dead, his speech was all about himself, saying it did not rain at inauguration, it actually did. What is wrong with him even lying about something trivial like that, does he think he is god
 Then he continued with the lie that the crowd at the inauguration was the biggest ever, attacked the media ,all about him, nothing about the CIA dead. A total loon |

I have no problem with Americans voting in Trump in what they see as their self interest. That is perfectly normal
What i don't understand is people he promises to shaft are celebrating that shafting because of some ideological link to some of his beliefs. Rattlesnake isn't even honest enough to say what it is about Trump he finds so appealing, and why he supports him declaring a trade war on us.

That was a very strange event. Trump, after showing absolute disdain for the CIA and all security agencies over his Russian links, using the monument as a backdrop to launch into the media and blame fake news for his attacks on the CIA If he is so easily led and fooled what does that say about his judgement?

I think it is all about hatred of the left, speaking to people, reading columnists like Panahi , Bolt, there is nothing about his policies just a total attack on the left, rubbing it in, some sort of justification of their views with the election of the madman. Because somehow a fairer, kinder , more equitable world somehow threatens their existence |

Yes, Trump, like Putin, La Penne's National Front, Alternative for Germany, Party of Freedom, Golden Dawn etc etc all want the same thing. A white protectionist world, free of democratic institutions, the things that we, USA and Europe all went to war to create and defend. No coincidence Trump attacks the EU and NATO last week. He and Putin, along with all those groups want them gone.

Trump hasn't even met French President Hollande yet, but Le Penne has a visit to Trump Tower and Trump people photograph them, a consistent theme in recent weeks.

Why would you post a Kinky Friedman clip, a fierce independent and then say there are only extreme choices?

The way Hiliary,s supporters are carrying on doesnt say much for them either.
Rioting and destroying property and injuring cops. The least she could do is step up and say OK guys, I lost, but can you please stop running amok and destroying things, and start acting like civilised humans. Talk about bad losers

That is funny AA, could you imagine how Trump supporters would be carrying on had he lost, much worse, and he would be l;eading the protests when he was not in court challenging the result. At least the current protests are mainly peaceful.
He couldn't even accept the 2012 result when Obama got 8 million more votes and Trump was maliciously stirring the birther thing. What a role model he is  |
