Trump

Lord knows what is ahead for us all. These lunatics running the world😥

I'm just wishing America well and hope that President Trump does his best for their country. He definitely needs a proper border to stop the Mexican drug cartels. Can't understand why Biden didn't make that a priority.
I really liked Obama as he seemed to care about the people and started Obama care.

Hitler was elected democratically of course.

Many chose to 'denigrate' him and fight everything he stood for.

You have misunderstood my post.

Many on here are denigrating the electorate of the USA for their vote, which I think is rather childish, similar to the angst shown towards those who voted for Brexit and the Conservatives here in the U.K.

Sorry the Hitler trope is trotted out so often on these N & P threads that it has become meaningless.

I think the apparent 'swing to the popular Right' is masking what is really happening: it is a safe oblique rejection of gender ideology, with its threat to women, their language and the laws protecting them.
It's why Musk moved from being a democrat to Trump.. because his 16 year old son (now a 20 year old transwoman) was given puberty blockers and hormones against Elon's will but he gave permission under pressure by threats of suicide. He vowed to stop it.
People are sick of it but don't want to be labelled transphobic so tight is the grip of the 'progressive' left. It's affecting sport, childbirth, the law, language itself all orchestrated by a band of elite TransRightsActivist's. That's why Growstuff. The engine of politics is being driven by this area of elite woke-ism and no longer by class. Trump could see this. He is fearless and he saw a massive gap where the lower classes were not being represented at all. So he stepped in. Didn't patronise them, drove a garbage truck when they were called garbage...

FriedGreen I could not agree more! Well done Mr Trump! Well done the American people!

You're OK with a president who has been shown (by himself, even!) to despise and denigrate women? 50% of the population? Wow.

Not my call who is POTUS

There system allowed him to run, the people voted him in.

Cannot see the point of denigrating people for their decision, their vote their choice.

When Johnson was elected here people said his flaws were 'priced in'. I guess in electing Trump the same applied. Harris, like Corbyn, was a mediocre candidate. She failed to make the grade in the Democrat Primary when Biden was selected and I doubt she would have been the candidate in 2024 if the selection had been competitive.

Many of the people who quit their role at the White House left because he was unhinged. If for any reason he gets ill or dies in office we are left with Vance. He made up the rumor that Haitian people in Ohio are eating cats and dogs and he admitted it was made up . He said childcare should be provided by grandparents . So this is what we will be left with. Honestly I’m too old and tired to fight for what I all ready fought for in the 60’s and 70’s.

How has she been inept? She was the Vice President . She could NOT make policy . Her role is to support the president , break a tie in the senate and certify the election . That’s it.

Thank Heavens Trump won! America has spoken, things can only get better.

Beware of what you wish for… for all our sakes worldwide I hope you’re right..but…???

I’ve been following the election closely but will now have to switch off from it. The sight of that man is not good for my well-being but I feel sorrier for democratic supporters in the US who will have to live with him for the next 4 years. At least he won’t run again in 2028.

Hear Hear, but he might change the law to run again, or AS HE SAID “ you will never have to vote again” …. In my opinion he intends to stay! Horrific thought that that is!

So how will the White House staff manage a president who is displaying every indication of edging towards dementia but has been mandated to have access to the nuclear button?

Let's wait and see if he gets in,seems the sensible thing to do. He can't just go into the nuclear housing and press a button off his own back you know. There are huge safe guards against this happening.

There WERE huge safeguards… but he will dismiss them and pack alldepts with is radical loyalists!

The people of America voted in their millions and the majority voted for Trump. End of.

It seems a fairly even vote - some people must like his policies.

He has no politics… he is out for himself only… he will be a figurehead to the radicals who are behind him…who will ‘govern’ whilst he goes of golfing and escapes all his criminal charges…oh and coins it in on the side as he did last term in office!

Well I’m delighted. 🤩
Congratulations Mr. Trump. You’ve shocked the naysayers.
There will be howls now (think Brexit here). Some people only like democracy when their side wins.

There will be NO DEMOCRACY under the egregious Trump he’s an Isolationist Autocrat…( as well as a LOT of other things) you should beware what you wish for…!

Just about sums it up ….

The same meme was used to insult Biden so it has somewhat lost its punch.

If Trump goes ahead with his import tariffs this could affect British companies.

It certainly will. Economists are already predicting higher prices, higher interest rates and little economic growth.
As they say “ when America sneezes, Britain catches a cold”.

As far as I’m aware Britain is still part of Europe just not the EU. My concern is the affect on the environment, the world is already showing signs of the impact of fossil fuels and President Elect Trump has already said he’s going to allow oil exploration in Alaska, encourage Fracking and said he doesn’t care about climate change, even his own country has been affected.

However now he has yes men around him , there will be no checks & balances ,& Supreme Court has given him the power to press the button as cannot now be held responsible to in court of law for actions when he in power. Jan 6th insurrection will be thrown out for starters & dangerous criminals released.
Plus load court system with yes judges .

Unless he has a major shift of thought process which seems unlikely.

Somewhat risqué you could say!
