Ah, so you think that the American people voted Trump in (via the established system that the Americans have been using for decades) because they thought Hillary would make a better president, I think I'm beginning to understand 'down under' logic now.

Again, if only the American people had been aware of that before the election, in order to pass their own opinion upon his suitability for office?

Oh...

So, essentially the only problem is that she used the word massacre instead of plot

Of course, If they hadn't busted the plot, what would there have been?

ah once again for the hard of trolling...
They can have their opinion, we all understand they have elected a racist egotist who's every decision is there to line his own pockets.
We can however make some assessment as to the individual's suitability to hold office. Remember his doc who wrote his medical assessment in under 5mins as a bit of a joke cause they were paying him?

Do you fire off on twitter is somebody says something true about you?
Complain that people are not being all happy to see you?
Get all nasty when journalists want to ask actual questions rather than take notes?

You are becoming tiresome, ninfan.

We know all that - including the fact that he only got in because of the peculiar nature of the American Electoral College system having lost the popular vote by a significant margin.

I do wish you'd stop banging on about it like some sort of 15-year-old-Kevin.

Deal with the discussion.

He is clearly mentally unsuited to the task, being a sufferer of a severe Personality Disorder and this does not bode well for any of us, right/left/independent or otherwise.

Comment on that, please.

y'know, you used to actually have some points worthy of debate and comment, and I know that you like to think of yourself as a bit of grit in the oyster of the group think you think exists on here, but that really is about as dumb a thing as Chewkw would say.

For Shame

Yes, something you have all been banging on about since pretty much the day his candidacy was announced - with significant press coverage - giving the American people more than ample opportunity to weigh up the allegations and criticisms of his personality before passing their own opinion upon his suitability for office.

And, my dahling little snowflakes, what did the American people decide?

Yeah he said snowflake, I call next post has virtue signalling...
What we know is how people voted - overall it was won by a little over 100,000 votes - mostly in places that will never see another job created.

Anyway that isn't the point - do you think he has the right attributes to be president? Control nuclear weapons? Make the right call?

What a surprise, more #fakenews from Trump's team that claims the liberal MSM covered something up which didn't actually happen. 🙄

@ninfan - would you care to elaborate on Trump's comments about the TV ratings of the US version of The Apprentice? Why would he say something like that? There's no need to mention it unless of course you wish to belittle someone. (I thought Arnie's response was very good BTW).

You might want to [url= http://www.vulture.com/2017/01/celebrity-apprentice-ratings-were-down-for-years.html ]read this[/url] (and understand what is being said).

It's just occurred to me. "Malignant Narcissism" isn't the only type of personality disorder on display.

There's also the Obsessive Compulsive variation, more locally.

I think it's time to just let the Trump Horror Show play itself out and hope that we survive it.

And for those reasons, etc...

The thing about the Bowling Green Massacre is that it's another pointless lie- ie's untruth as a first resort, for no reason, and with no chance of not being found out but they do it anyway because they've got no understanding that lying is wrong. The clincher is "you won't have heard about it because it didn't get covered". So again it's not so much about the one lie, it's about what it tells you about the entire shitshow, you wouldn't lend these people your lawnmower. And trumpets lap it up.

Good one from twitter though- "Finding these Bowling Green Massacre jokes to be a little too soon. Out of respect, we should wait until it takes place."

I disagree. As Trump just stated at the 'National Prayer Breakfast' - it's Trump (USA) vs The World. The World now has a common enemy. Time to mobilise for peace. He needs to be out of the running. Sitting back and watching him further destabilise and dismantle international affairs and relations while simultaneously bombing people is the worst thing any of us can do.

Narcissim, pah....his really problem is the lack of a decent tailor. All of his clothes fit like a sack of potatoes and his ties are nasty - I hope he stays well away from naked flames.

Plus they know that the Trump supporters share their views that the "Liberal Media" (ie anyone who disagrees with their world view) are the actual enemy rather than the normal social ills of unemployment or racism, or environmental damage and so on. They know that they can create their own stories that will be believed, and that the destruction of the media that questions them is only the fist step in their creation of what they see as a "better world"

tbh ome are so deluded/dense/intransient they will think its a liberal MSM conspiracy that they are not reporting what REALLY happened- which is the fake bit.

Its a clever strategy IMHO as whatever happens their supporters will blame someone else and some will be duped by it

Those who can see through it were never his supporters anyway

Its very strange to see news bereft of facts though perhaps it was inevitable after the bias of Fox breitbart etc distortion inevitably leads to just making it up?

No, what you don't seem to get is that I don't think that [b]any[/b] of us has an ability to judge Trump from what we know about him, because all we know about him is fed through the lens of a partial media and commentariat, be that pro or anti-Trump.

Trump was doing what he does perfectly, successfully dominating the news cycle... and look, it worked. As for Arnie, Do you really think having an immigrant actor criticising him plays in any way badly for Trump with his key demographic?

Given you have the ability to judge Obama and Clinton along with various others why can we not judge Trump? Is he to precious to judge?

Lies lies and lies - all he is doing

What about an immigrant wife who's chosen cause us cyber bullying?

That's not in the least bit true.

Firstly he has signed executive orders. The content of these tells us something about him and also the fact that he used them so much tells us something else.

But mostly the fact that he is active on Twitter and has been for a long time. This is his personal output direct from his fingers. And there's a lot of it.

[i]After yet another disaster in the Mediterranean, it's clear that this is a huge problem, and one that seems to be getting worse by the day. Is it a problem for the EU? Is it a problem for the UK? or is it a problem for the UN?

Tales of smugglers sending rickety boats out with only sufficient fuel to get half-way across the Med and a piece of paper with the phone number of the Italian coastguard abound. Tales of Christian refugees being murdered by Muslims, of people being locked in holds and left to drown, and numerous other horrors abound. This isn’t going to go away. Everyone in the media except Katie Hopkins says that ‘a political solution is needed’ but none of them seem to know what that solution might look like.

As usual, someone is making money on the backs of human suffering, and others are picking up the costs in more than one way.

it's also clear that within this influx there are both economic migrants (some would say looking for a better life, others would say for the promised land of free money) and genuine refugees (which international law gives a duty to protect)

In the short term then, should we accept all these poor people and put them in refugee camps somewhere in Europe, which will mean in reality that they will never go back to their own Countries of origin? or should we just pick them up, and dump them back on a deserted beach somewhere in North Africa?

In the longer term, how do we discourage a constant tide of economic migrants if they see their compatriots being looked after in Europe? The numbers appears to be growing, and who can blame them, when the places they are leaving - Syria, Somalia, Libya - are such complete holes.

I'm sure there are valid arguments about this being the inevitable effect of our intervention in Libya, however we are where we are and cannot change that, so - where do we go from here?

Oh, and here's hoping that we can discuss a serious topic without hysteria... [/i]

Your words above @Nifan[/b]. Who'd have thought someone who supports Trump, Brexit and trolls on here to wind people up would have written the above. Especially the last sentence. Wonder what happened to you?

They were done for loading weapons & explosives indices hidden compartments in trucks!

The American people voted for Hillary

Not under the US electoral system they didn't - you know, the same one that Obama got elected under.

Especially the last sentence. Wonder what happened to you?

If anyone on here wants to get around to discussing Trump without resorting to Hysteria I'd be glad to - here's hoping, eh 😉

FFS make your mind up

Either the american public knew what he was like and voted for him or no one really knows what he is like

It cannot be both
Decide which one you are trolling with will you rather than flip flop around to just get the attention you tragically crave - though of course i cannot judge anythign about you as i have no met you just like you cannot judge ernie...oh shit that one doe not work either

Can I call you a hypocrite yet or would that also be unfair as I have yet to have the pleasure of your company

You are bright have an opinion and argue it but dont do this as it tragic

The one where he got more votes? The electoral system was what happened, it's not how many votes were cast.
Given the evidence that up to 10% of Trump's family had illegal or irregular votes, does that mean we need a recount... #TrumpLogic

Any first past the post system (as used both in the US and the UK) can be "unfair" because it's all or nothing. At the last UK general election Labour's share of the vote increased but the number of seats they held dropped. In the US Electoral College system, it's reasonably common for the losing candidate to have more votes, they just weren't cast in the right places/states.

A simplified scenario but shows what can happen: every state has 1 million voters. Every state won by Hilary Clinton is 70-30 in her favour; every state won by Donald Trump is 55-45 in his favour. Trump wins 28 states, Clinton 24. The number of votes cast for each candidate is:

Clinton: (24 * .7) + (28 * .45) = 29.4 million
Trump: (24 *.3) + (28 *.55) = 23.4 million

So even though more people voted for Clinton, under the Electoral College rules Trump wins. Of course not every state has the same population and therefore EC votes but the principle stands.

Unfortunately Trump can't stand being beaten in anything (his thin skin again) so is contesting (though we haven't heard anything about it for a while so he's probably forgotten it) the fact. So 3 million allegedly illegal votes were *all* cast for Clinton, this despite the fact that some of his own family and staff fall foul of the same alleged illegality so presumably they voted for Clinton as well?

Seriously? Can you not think of anything more satisfying?

He doesn't just get the job, but he gets it after openly & legitimately stealing it from under the noses of the Hilary Clinton supporters who all jumped up and down in various shades of purple apoplexy at the suggestion that anyone might not accept the direct outcome of the election!

Hoist on their own petard 😀

How does that stop him being a narcissist, egomaniac, thin skinned idiot? Maybe one with such a simple understanding of the works he thinks he might be doing good?
One who denies things he has be recorded saying?
One who denies facts and closes down the legitimate output of his agencies?
