Indeed tweets Islamaphobic and anti-semetic bollox and loves Putin.
Also wants to intensify the campaign against ISIS, more war in the Middle East is always good and never leads to problems further down the line 😯
"Also wants to intensify the campaign against ISIS,"
Doesn't seem a terrible idea while they're on the back foot on pretty much every front.
Does it mean 'boots on the ground' then ?
I'm not sure it ever works out well
Most likely it means continuation of the existing policy. The intensification is already in progress.
not just boots on the ground but what would surely be the greatest folly in the middle east yet?
a new sunni state? Im sure saudi would pump in the money for the madrassas and happily use wahabism to indoctrinate more radicals to fight against the iranians
ISIS already using Trump presidency as a recruiting tool

Good on him for coughing up, it takes a strong man to say that they're sorry.
Just a shame that he was forced into legal action before coughing up (how many more?).
A shame that he couldn't fulfill his promise.
A shame that he still hasn't apologised.
We need the US to have a strong president. 😛

Or simply the realisation that he was going to loose badly...
Or simply the realisation that he was going to loose badly..
How many tenses would realisation come to him in?
" "I will win the Trump University case. I already am, as far as I'm concerned.
"I could settle that case. I could have settled that case. I just choose not to."'
'I will loose badly. I already am loosing badly. I could realise that. I could have realised it.'
He's President now (or will be in a couple of months), I doubt he cared about fighting the case any longer it just isn't a priority and even if he won it there would be sensationalist news stories during any trial.

RE- Reddit thread - "LET THE ASTROTURFING COMMENCE"
🙂 why not have a laugh create an account and drive up slowly in the car
Well I am more concerned the Russians will bomb the shit out of hospitals I have no doubt they would push the atomic button
Russians? It was the Americans. Or is this a different hospital.
Trump should Drain The Swamp first cos this is the first priority.
I am not even a tiny bit concerned about the actions of the Russians because I am absolutely and seriously sure they will press the "button".
The only people that will press the button is the polarised West.
Drain the swap!
D'oh! should be [b]Russians will Not[/b] press the button ...I am not even a tiny bit concerned about the actions of the Russians because I am absolutely and seriously sure they will press the "button".
Is it a swamp or a swap? Oh and where is this swamp or swap?

D'oh! ... you are a better Trump supporter than I am ... 😕

I would swap Trump for a swamp.
Be careful chewkw, you are starting to repeat yourself....just like trump.
Don't go full trump, it ain't pretty.

Trump is draining the swamp and filing it with snakes and gators 😯
Already accusations of conflicts of interest regarding his daughter, son in law, property deals and numerous violations of protocol.
Yeah he's an outsider turning the system on its head, but he's also going to be scrutinised as never before.... I'm more certain than ever that we are going to see a Nixon-like fall from grace.
a bit of a backclash on his businesses too . call to boycott anything related with the name Trump .

Who cares what he fills the swamp with so long as he drains the swamp off the current lot of parasites ... drain it. Drain the swap.
He is a businessman of course there will be those who start accusing of business conflict even before his starts his office as President.
It's all perfectly normal for people to target his business etc after all how big a target do you need? It would be a surprise if nobody targets him or his business. Absolutely predictable. Nothing to surprise about.
He is much better than the Kennedy and not as naive as Nixon when business is concerned.Yeah he's an outsider turning the system on its head, but he's also going to be scrutinised as never before.... I'm more certain than ever that we are going to see a Nixon-like fall from grace.

One word. Bankrupt.
As I said a while ago and probably proven here that Trump's followers are idiots. 😆

Two words
President (of the most powerful country in the world)
Billionaire (3.7 I believe)
Boycotting his businesses is going to hurt the rank and file employees more than it is him. Counter productive.
Just to get everyone revved up a bit (could almost .... almost be trolling 😉 )
From what I understand senior government employees such as Trump have a capital gains tax waiver (I know this as ex Goldman guys like Bob Ruben used if) so Trump may be able to hand over control of his affairs and run a planned sale (& buyback ?) programme realising capital gains (many billions worth) and will not be liable to any tax.
I am sure that any boycott won't hurt him financially but it will piss him off quite a lot considering his ego .
On his business, he has to get rid or blind trust completely. His kids can't run it or own it etc. (according to the experts)
His worth is still subject to debate as he didn't want to reveal anything and given his history could be tied to several dodgy business dealings. If the desire to avoid scrutiny by settlement the cases could start and pile up too.
The role of president actually comes with a lot of responsibility, seeing as some of the stuff he wanted to do is outside his power or not legal he will have to be very careful.
If you win on a platform of getting rid of the self interest how many stories of nepotism and making a win for somebody will people stomach.
Where as some see him as the messiah we all know he is just a very naughty boy.

I think he will find his wings quite quickly trimmed by the real holders of power. He's going to be a puppet.

Which I can well believe, and eveyone thought he wanted to be president to help others.

#Suckers.
and that is going to be the real issue .
an elected president is not a dictator . he must be used to have his own way all the time .
Financially I doubt it. Politically he is just starting. Clinton on the other hand ...slowoldman - Member

Did you see the face of Clinton supporters when news announced that Trump has become President Elect. Priceless.captainsasquatch - Member
As I said a while ago and probably proven here that Trump's followers are idiots.
I think that's what his business competitors have been doing to him all these years so I think he has a rather thick skin.cchris2lou - Member

That's his personal affairs. People just want jobs.mikewsmith - Member
On his business, he has to get rid or blind trust completely. His kids can't run it or own it etc. (according to the experts)
If he does not want to reveal his financial affairs that's his prerogative is it not? Is there a law that requires him to declare. Don't you think the law would have got him long ago if that is a criminal offense?His worth is still subject to debate as he didn't want to reveal anything and given his history could be tied to several dodgy business dealings. If the desire to avoid scrutiny by settlement the cases could start and pile up too.
Yes, learn on the job so how hard can that be?The role of president actually comes with a lot of responsibility, seeing as some of the stuff he wanted to do is outside his power or not legal he will have to be very careful.
Judge him after 8 years. Yes, he will be there for 2 terms.If you win on a platform of getting rid of the self interest how many stories of nepotism and making a win for somebody will people stomach.
I see him as a person to drain the swamp and to get rid of Clinton crooks.Where as some see him as the messiah we all know he is just a very naughty boy.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-19/hamilton-cast-addresses-mike-pence-at-broadway-show/8040168
It's going to be a very long long 4 years if he is waiting for anyone who doesn't agree to apologise
US President-elect Donald Trump has demanded an apology from the cast of the Broadway hit Hamilton for appealing from the stage to Vice President-elect Mike Pence to uphold American values as he sat in the theatre audience.Mr Trump took time out from his search for appointees to his incoming administration to tweet that Mr Pence "was harassed last night at the theatre by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!"
"The Theatre must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologise!" Mr Trump tweeted.
I wanted to quote someone, but apparently there are none left. 🙁
Financially I doubt it.
"Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, but hotel and casino businesses of his have been declared bankrupt six times between 1991 and 2009".
Chewkw did you actually say he had thick skin. If someone looks at him funny he attacks them on twitter and threatens to sue, if he makes it through four years without being impeached or starting a world war then I'd be surprised.

Just give it a minute one comes along soon enough. May be time to engage the filter though, that last one was more like the bloke in the corner of the old pub...
