Trump Dishes Out Another Avalanche of Tariffs.

do you know what scares me? the times before trump got in when our kids wernt safe when women and girls were having our sports medals stolen by men when fully grown men with beards just had to say "im a woman today" then go into our private spaces/bathrooms and SA little girls 9happened often) when women in prison were getting graped by men who decided they would call themselves women and go into female prisons and grape the women /9some of whom became pregnant0 i think that ANYONE who subscribes to any of that and supports it is nothing more than an evil weirdo god bless president trump! im half blk by the way

He will continue to take plenty of no notice to anyone. He is a dictator

Shall we stick to the facts, he isn’t a dictator, he was voted in as President in a democratic country.
He may wish to be one but that’s another matter.

I think flinging around the term democratic country has become more and more meaningless as one actually looks at the numbers and considers corruption via the internet and foreign powers.

'... in a closely divided country, modest shifts have meant that control of the presidency has swung back and forth between Republicans and Democrats. Joe Biden won the 2020 election by 4.4 percentage points. Four years later, Donald Trump won by 1.5 points.'

...Trump cannot say that he won the outright majority of the presidential votes that were cast in the election overall.
To do so, he would need to have won more than 50%, as all victors have done for the last 20 years - other than Trump in 2016.

He's busy with sleight of hand to distract all those asking
" Show us the Epstein files"

I agree. He is doing everything possible to distract from those incriminating files.

Good to hear from an American perspective angie121.
It reminds me of why Trump won.

So the trans issue is the most important issue facing America in the way that immigration is the most important one in the UK? I’d like to bet that, when Trump imposes these tariffs, people in the know probably make a killing on the stock market .

flinging?
The US isa democracy just as we are here. What you say is nonsensical.
It swings back and forth between two political parties just as it mainly does here.
We are a FPTP voting system here but you wouldn’t say we don’t live in a democracy.

You may prefer a different voting system Granatlast007 but that doesn’t change the fact that the US is a democracy.

Currently we are just about living in a representative parliamentary democracy. You may have noticed that Trump appointed new judges last time he was in office and they have been supporting him in his activities. The state of Texas has been asked to realign its constituencies to minimise the effect of voting for the democrats (Heather Cox Richardson, Letters from America). It’s called gerrymandering!

The FPTP system allows government by the party that has the most votes in that constituency. The chances are they did not get an outright majority in that constituency so many voters are unrepresented. This is why a well devised PR system would give more people more representation. It’s not perfect but parties would need to work together to get things done. It generally works quite well in Europe and New Zealand but sometimes falls apart rather like our parties that have internal divisions. The last Tory government for example.

Perhaps you would like to comment on how exactly this government is Marxist. In my understanding it is Social Democratic Party, rather centrist!

Is the above comment to me or to another poster?

I don't think Trump will be POTUS long. His speech is rambling, doesn't make sense, goes off on tangents. He clearly has some kind of dementia.

He has always spoken like that I think?

angie121, sadly the POTUS has a conviction for sexual assault and many women and girls have filed accusations of rape against him- one aged thirteen at the time.

Ah, but Trump’s abuse of women is absolutely fine because he didn’t claim he was a woman while he was doing it…
