President Donald Trump...

[ItnStln511]

yeah.. i fully admit.. i have NO respect for drumpf.. and his business skills...

how many bankruptcies?

How many bankruptcies were him using the tax laws in his favor? The last time I looked it was the majority of them. This is like me using the "I'm on active duty and don't have to pay my student loans" card, which I do. It's us using laws and policies in our favors.

 

[ItnStln511]

President Trump has to have a military advisor. I think he's just not saying who it is right now.

Can't be a squid.

My guess is with the CJCS out, it'll be the VCJCS. Why can't it be a squid?

What then is the incentive to change them and make the rich actually pay their fair share? I have no tax law to hide behind, I pay what I owe and it hits the wallet hard...I don't pay NO tax and continue to watch my empire and bank accounts grow.

great business men.. dont use bankruptcies in their business strategy.
con-artist do!
great con-artist do it multiple times

big business that use BK.. hurts the community!!!
the business takes form others.. but does not pay back, so someone is losing but not the con-artist.
can't you not see that?

you (an individual) using a policy to help you .. to better yourself in life.
is not the same thing
as a business trying to NOT pay contracts and debt!!!

Great article outlining why I have been so angry with DC for the past few years. Decisions made down party lines for the sole purpose of advancing political careers and ideologies.

it still surprises me.. how drumpf still have supporters..
and this is MY guess....

Bullies.. in the playground...
other kids see a bully .. attack another kid.
They know it is wrong... but they back the bully.. WHY?
"better him/them than me" attitudes

Certainly...
President Trump recently met with the British Prime Minister, how did his meeting with her play out in the US media, and do you think President Trump is helped or hindered by the support of the British Prime Minister (as per Regan Thatcher or Bush Blair )

Don't see the "Reagan/Thatcher" vibe, yet, but only time will tell.

Nigel Farage tells it...

 

[psionandy]

Nigel was a consultant to Mr Trump during the campaign...

 

[notacoach]

It's astonishing (or maybe not!) bravado that Mr Farage dares to say that after the NHS bus banner. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Also, having Nigel Farage endorse your policies isnt exactly something that a lot of people would be proud of....

Farage clearly has no credibility in the European parliament, hence the guy behind holding up the sign.
But really, he obviously has an agenda to align himself closely with Trump, so I don't know what he's still doing hanging around. Quite frankly he should be booted out, and sent packing to become one of Trump's yes men.

 

[PitCarver]

That's quite funny, reminds me of a primary schooler taping a "kick me" sign on someone's back.

Who should I take more seriously?

He's not getting it all his own way, is he?

Didn't President Trump's Father give him a million dollars and wish him well? President Trump needs to write an autobiography.

He gave him $1M at one point, but a lot more than that subsequently. He also bailed him out of at least one bankruptcy, and finally Trump inherited many hundreds of millions, a sum which, if he'd placed it in a tracker fund, would these days be worth more than the upper estimates of his wealth (which is hard to pin down as he's secretive and claims different amounts depending on who he is talking to).

But he certainly likes to pretend that he's as self-made as he can get away with claiming.

I have watched this thread closely,And I don't like to talk politics because of the indifference between people beliefs.
But I'm happy.

I agree with you on the "send him packing" sentiment, but for the love of rational thought and the survival of modern society, don't send him over here!!!!

Fair point. I can see you not wanting to add more insanity.

As reported by a major news organisation

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...er-that-gave-bannon-seat-at-nsc-meetings.html

President Trump was reportedly not fully briefed on the executive order he signed that allowed his chief strategist Steve Bannon a seat at the meetings of the country’s top national security efforts.​

And for those who still remember the "little green island next to france"

Donald Trump would not be welcome to address parliament during his state visit, the Commons Speaker, John Bercow, has said in an unprecedented intervention that drew applause and cheers from MPs.

Bercow, whose role is non-political, said he could not block a state visit by the US president but would use his role as one of the three “key-holders” of Westminster Hall to prevent the Republican from addressing MPs and peers.

^---- Quite right too. Why would we give an ignorant, sexist, racist, bigoted bully a platform to speak at Westminster?

So.... Er...... Um.... People who didn't want Mr Trump to be president gave money to other candidates in the elections????

The thing I find most Sinister about that Breitbart article is the clickbait title which plants an idea of some kind of conspiracy, and the implication that anybody who did not or does not support DT is evil and must be smeared whenever possible. It's straight out of the propaganda handbook.

The decline continues: they have just confirmed Betsy DeVos as Education secretary. Yes, the candidate with no professional qualifications in, personal experience with, or faith in public education.

America is open to the highest bidder.
