I've just a bit of time working with Americans - of both sides of the ballot paper - and it seems that no matter what their reasons for voting/not voting for him the vast majority just seem really embarrassed by him - actions, words, whatever.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

To some extent, there are a lot[\i] of Americans, so if you assume around the same percentage of Americans are racist as Brits are racist, you will end up with a large pot of racists. Combine this with the internet, and it's extremely easy to make a lot of noise.
Actually, that is a good point. And coming from the north-east I should have probably seen that.
You wouldn't believe how backward some folk are around here, despite living in an area where we have one of the lowest ethnic minorities in the country.
That's probably a lot down to the lack of contact with any ethnic groups.
I mean, when I got to the big smoke, I cannot believe how Cosmopolitan London has become.
Trump doesn't think we remember anything because he's forgotten already.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I have to say that it is a masterpiece.
This whole thing is quite useful - it is instructive to see who responds to Nazis and the KKK with "yes, they are naughty, but what about the left though?".0 -

This is true, and this is the first time I can remember since the early days of Dubya that professional Americans have regularly sparked up conversations about the president in public. Or made sideways remarks during professional presentations. Normally these things are somewhat taboo, so people are realising that no matter which side of the divide, the audience members are likely to share a common embarrassment.
Frighteningly though, if they had an election now, he'd have a good chance of wining. The problem with US politics is that it is binary and so each side starts off with about 45% of the vote share merely by being nominated. Most people will vote against something, rather than think too hard about what they are voting for. Even now I'd say you'd get an even split that they are better off without "evil Hilary", despite what they now know about the other guy's collusion and bigotry.
My only hope is that racism is like being sprayed by a skunk. Very difficult to get rid of the smell. And its a whiff that Americans are VERY sensitive to. Perhaps belligerently attacking people on this issue will finally fail to work for him. Perhaps.0 -
That's his business councils gone as well - everyone resigned then he threw his toys out of the prat, said that he had disbanded them and slagged off the only black dude who was part of them..
He's just a horrible petty racist ignorant child in a man's body. Even my (particularly astute, admittedly) 8 year old bambino thinks he's a knob.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Appears to be hotting up nicely. No signs of abating short of an apology from Trump about equivalence. Trump does not do apologies. Didn't really see this issue being the potential end.

I personally think it's Bannon looking to be sacked rather than him being naive enough to do a Mooch: Bannon ain't as daft, naive or arrogant as the Mooch seeemed to be....Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I recently went to a conference in Washington with the NAE and almost all of the speakers made sideways remarks about trump. Mostly it was the denial of scientific fact, but even so, it was a constant theme throughout proceedings; a bit like the German apologising for the war sketch from Harry Enfield. The only people I found supporting Trump were two telly-tubby-texans.0 -

Does this count as a leak?
It would be bizarre if him talking a bit of sense for the first time was the thing that got him sacked, but that's the world we're in right now.0 -

But but but, Trump says his WH is SOOOO successful and the most successful administration ever. Shirely he must be speaking the truth. He wouldn't spread FAKE NEWS would he?0 -
This is what's happening steadily in the background. His focus in the areas where people aren't shouting at him about is to deregulate business. http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/17/news/ec ... ar-agenda/0

Agreed, but this is the area that he is having success in, and getting their agenda implemented without much complaint.
Probably important for us in any UK/US trade deal.0
