I would rather he stay distracted by unimportant things.0

His latest is a 35% tax on American companies products that farm their work out to foreign countries. Can't see that working, thinking of the industry I work in, GE and Pratts 35% on the cost of their aero engines...............errrm Don!Tail end Charlie

errr, wouldn't any other company be thinking 'hmm let say we'll move production to mexico, so Don gives us the same tax breaks?All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0 -
Trump fires his new National security advisors son from transition team.. well at least it's a step in the right direction. General Flynn's son had been re-tweeting/spreading a fake alt-right news story that Hillary Clinton was involved in a child sex trafficking ring being run from the back of a pizza restaurant in Washington which led to...
Ok, the gunman himself is almost certainly in need of psychiatric help, but the son of the new national Security Advisor? WTF.Armed with multiple weapons, the gunman stormed into the restaurant to “self-investigate” a right-wing conspiracy theory that claimed Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta ran a child sex trafficking ring in the back of the restaurant.
This is the new norm for american politics it seemsAll lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0 -
BBC Radio 2 news just reported that Trump is Time Magazine Person of the year, with the extra information that previous winners include Hitler, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini.
They could have said that previous winners include Lech Walesa, Hungarian Freedom Fighters and Cory Aquino.
Seems like there's an agenda there.0 -
To be fair this years shortlist did include Putin and Farage, seems it's given to the person that they feel has changed the world or had an effect either good or bad, they have no agenda other than to to sell more magazines, the more controversial the choice the more they sellSciencemike wrote:BBC Radio 2 news just reported that Trump is Time Magazine Person of the year, with the extra information that previous winners include Hitler, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini.

Yes, of course there is. It's that Trump has more in common with Hitler, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini than he does with Lech Walesa, Hungarian Freedom Fighters and Cory Aquino. There, that was simple wasn't it?Sciencemike wrote:BBC Radio 2 news just reported that Trump is Time Magazine Person of the year, with the extra information that previous winners include Hitler, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini.

I meant the BBC seems to have an agenda in bracketing Trump with Hitler etc. They're supposed to be impartial but if you say Trump is the latest in a line that includes Stalin, Hitler and Khomeini that gives a very particular impression which can only be deliberate (by someone)0

I'd say that it's about as objective a comparison as you can getSciencemike wrote:I meant the BBC seems to have an agenda in bracketing Trump with Hitler etc. They're supposed to be impartial but if you say Trump is the latest in a line that includes Stalin, Hitler and Khomeini that gives a very particular impression which can only be deliberate (by someone)0 -
I'm no fan of Trump but it's not the BBC's job to make this sort of judgement. As yet Trump has little in common with Stalin et al (unless you know of a lot of unreported murder etc), he's just won a free and fair democratic election (yes, I know he lost the popular vote, but those are the rules) by going against a lot of the political establishment, I think you could argue that he has at least that in common with Walesa and Aquino.
I can't stand Trump, but to compare him to Hitler and Stalin is ridiculous.0 -
Of course. I'm just on the wind-up really. One obvious thing that distinguishes Trump from those bracketed with him, and I suppose it's about the only saving grace in this mess, is that they were all really very committed to their ideology: whereas Trump isn't really committed to anything except his own ego and enrichment.0

US President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to cut government costs by cancelling the order for new planes to carry the American president.
Mr Trump tweeted: "Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!"

This is why Trump is a refreshing change to the usual politicians, who are quite prepared to p1ss other peoples money up against a wall.0 -

As long as he doesn't pull the nuclear trigger on China from one of 4000 world wide US military bases, many of which are in the Pacific and currently proliferating. Despite Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize whilst simultaneously pouring 13 trillion dollars into military 'defence' spending.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
and there's no ulterior motive at all is there? Such as Trump getting his own plane refurbished at tax payers costs with all the comms and defence systems, then charging the US the $200,000 per flying hour, profiting TAG :roll:FocusZing wrote:US President-elect Donald Trump has said he wants to cut government costs by cancelling the order for new planes to carry the American president.

No, he's right. Trump is a refereshing change. Who wants a President who is prepared to p1ss other peoples money up against a wall when you can have one who will p1ss other peoples money into his own private bank account! I feel refreshed just thinking about it!Faster than a tent.......0 -
Is that the same president-elect who's all for US business yet wiped off $1b of their share price with that tweet?0

Trump also seems to think he's too intelligent for intelligence briefings.0 -
Has anyone told him you aren't actually supposed to use them?

He can't quiet work out that they already have enough to melt the earth 10 times over, perhaps he just wants new shiny ones, shinier than the russians, who know's this madness is just becoming the new norm

I just wonder if he'll announce actual nuclear war on Twitter first. He seems unable to resist the temptation to use his Twitter account with abandon; let's hope he isn't as free with the nuclear code.bianchimoon wrote:He can't quiet work out that they already have enough to melt the earth 10 times over, perhaps he just wants new shiny ones, shinier than the russians, who know's this madness is just becoming the new norm
On a serious note, I wonder if anyone will be able to tell him to stop tweeting - he's not even president and he's causing all sorts of trouble.0 -
How long before he gets bumped off, as is the penchant for USAnians and their leaders?
Will the industrial military complex elite find him just too much to tolerate?0 -

Seems a bit of a light sentence for the Americans. I wonder if the sentence would have been harsher had the incident occurred in a deepest, darkest KKK county.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

They're probably confused, as they normally acquit white guys with guns, especially if they can convince the jury that a coloured person (orange, in this case) was behaving in a threatening way.Pinno wrote:briantrumpet wrote:
