I've no idea what this means, so probably not no.
So why would you think the UN can get him sacked? The people who voted for him aren't fans of the UN.
Only on STW could people find it a negative that a company is bringing back 2500 jobs to the US....the bitterness is strong on this thread.
....so because the automotive industry may be fully automated in 10-15yrs are you seriously suggesting the government should do nothing in the intervening years and let jobs and investment go begging!?.....good one!
The US economy seems to be doing well since 2016...even American sources are split as to whether this is an Obama legacy or the era of Trump....meanwhile the rest of the world seems obsessed over his crap hair, use of Twitter, small hands or his own personal less than PC views on things....yeah priorities people.
....and a fine institution like the U.N. is belittling itself by actually bothering to comment on 'language used' by the President... so what?....how about supposedly serious organisations try to actually be serious and focus on whether the US is planning any wars, how their economy is doing etc....
The era of identity politics is truly upon us....and the world has lost sight of what is and isn't important....it's almost as if people are wishing for an ethnic female POTUS for no other reason than it would be PC and diverse....scant regard for jobs, money and the economy in the new era of outrage politics. Sad really.
I couldn't care less what our Prime Minister said in private or public as long as our economy was on the up.
I don't.
I was pointing out two different and probably separate things:
a) the UN have publicly denounced him as Racist
b) I personally hope he's removed from the presidency soon - impeached as unfit to hold the post I suspect.
Boris Johnson has tackled critics of US President Donald Trump, calling them "puffed up pompous popinjays"
Just looked up meaning of popinjay - describes Boris to a tee

Ah I see.
If we're doing fantasy, I'd like to see the Rock as president.
Boris is great isn't he he spends all his time offending the diplomatic and the rest sucking up to an arsehole for money
We are lucky to have him representing our nation
Anyone can see popinjay is a better description of boris and trump than corbyn and Khan whatever your politics

It seems you find this internet debating thing difficult - just to help you out, criticising Trumpeting of the jobs and being dubious about whether it was anything to do with Trump isn't the same as being negative about the jobs. Though for those of us not in the US I'm not sure why we should be celebrating jobs moving there from Mexico.
The US economy seems to be doing well since 2016...even American sources are split as to whether this is an Obama legacy or the era of Trump....
Yeah, they're split between those applying sense and logic to the issue and Trump supporters.
meanwhile the rest of the world seems obsessed over his crap hair, use of Twitter, small hands or his own personal less than PC views on things....
Yeah, nothing to do with his incompetence or his compulsive lying - you're right it's all about his hair.
Blimey, Ed Sheeran has let himself go !
NSFW words on the pic but this is what he got lsast time he came to scotland 🙂

Lol. He hasn't done anything, yet, other than negotiate a tax reduction for the rich.

Good to see the #ICancelledMyTripToLondon doing well...
Ta chaps. I tried but failed * hangs head in shame*
Now trump is lying about using the word "shithole". More than one other person at the meeting says he did say it, the official whitehouse spokesperson did not deny he said it but he has now tweeted he did not.
Lie lie and lie again
The more Trump goes on the more I'm reminded of this from George Orwell's 1984:
"[i]“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”[/i]"
It's as if he (Trump) believes that no-one will bother to look back at what was actually said so he can get away with continually contradicting himself.
ninfan » No, you’re simply wrong
The decision to sell the site was made under GWB
The sale* took place on Obama’s watch<<
..and extending that Logic, the actual move made under Trump... So its all his fault
To be fair, you'd have to be from a shit hole country to want to move to the US.

Is this the same BJ who said his only worry about going to New York was that he might meet Donald Trump?
He has a point, I don't see boatloads of doctors, IT experts or engineers flooding to the west....the pictures are typically of young men offering nothing more than unskilled labour, poor language skills and more stresses on the host countriy's infrastructure....while Trump's language may be colorful, the immigrants are fleeing crap countries....if their country of birth was any good they wouldn't be leaving en masse.
These middle Eastern and African countries aren't exactly sending their best are they?
Except, that's not true in the case of those currently 'flooding' into the US. They are generally better educated than the average American, so are a net gain for the economy.

ignorant racist is racist?
Now trump is lying about using the word "shithole".
Fake news
He said “this was not the language used”
So, for example, he might not have said “shithole countries” but said “those countries are shitholes”
I wish you lefties would apply greater vigour with your accusations of lies.
Of course, the broader issue... is anyone actually denying that most of these countries [b]are[/b] shitholes.

I'm not sure there is an agreed, recognised consensus on exactly what criteria would be used to judge a country as a "sh**hole" but i'd suggest that by all normal references you, like Trump himself, definitely ARE ar*eholes....

What's funny is that I post on an American forum about a different hobby I enjoy and the reaction is almost polar opposite to on here...if he keeps this up he'll get a second term for sure!
One thing I really don't get is the trend amongst a certain demographic to call anyone who's not authoritarian, a leftie/Marxist/communist. (delete where applicable or use all three for a tripple barrelled pseudo insult).
It just shows a complete lack of intelligence and lack of desire to understand anyone who's point of view you don't agree with.. Maybe I'm giving these authoritarians too much credit, what they are really doing is turning it into a term used as an insult, poisoning the well, if you like.
You have made the somewhat silly assumption that the forum you are on is representative of the whole US,if he keeps this up he'll get a second term for sure!
check out his record breaking popularity scores - no one has ever been so low. Yes his base love him but only a third of americans are racists morons and you seem to have found home with them.
mattyfez or if its a debate with americans its "liberal" as an insult
I got this once and replied - "thanks for the compliment - over here in Europe being a liberal is seen as a good thing". that rather confused them n;-)
