    If aodhan o riordain and boyd barrett dont like something. I find
    I usually take the completely opposite view.

    That pair of muppets given the chance would send a flotilla of boats to ferry all the economic migrants from sub saharan Africa over to Ireland.

    What you see is what you get with Trump. And I for one find that refreshing.

    Where is the evidence that Trump is sexist. I know, I know he passed some stupid pussy grabbing comments but lots of midfleaged women pass commdnts about toyboys etc and hen parties can be lewd.
    Trump has plenty of women in senior positions. There is no evidence he is a woman hater and there is no evidence he is a racist either though he is often called a racist too.
    Most of the nasty stuff written about him is by feminists and its beginning to sound unhinged, the adticle comparing him to a tom cat has really put me off the Irish Times, its completely unbalanced now with far too many female hysterical journalists, it the ssme old tedious whining and people are switching off wholesale.

    Sexism is not "hating" women. It's a belief that they are inferior or subservant. I's argue that advising people to "grab them by the pussy" would indeed constitute a superiority complex based on gender.

    As for the racism it's probably more xenophobic and islamophic, granted - but it depends on the age-old question as to whether a religion or nationality can be classed as a race. It's certainly bigoted though, and the anti-"snowflake" brigade seem to base their political loyalties on the humour derived from it.

    None of this is written by anyone, feminist or otherwise. It's based on what the man directly said or policies he brought in or attempted to bring in.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    President Trump is as welcome as any other president to this country.

    There will be so many hypocrites crying over him coming, when they were silent or even supported the visits of President Obama who started wars and helped give us the migrant crisis through the most awful foreign policy.
    People were out waving flags for Obama...

    So Trump will come and a bunch of idiots will be out protesting because they believe everything the media tells them, Obama is good, Trump is bad. maybe they were all as equally crap, just one presented the crap with a better garnish.

    This would be the first example directly related to Trump. Racist apartment policies.. He lost.

    I like that wants to run his country like a business. That he is against illegal immigration and how he expects other countries to pay their fair share on the global stage.

    I haven't heard any racism or sexism from him

    Running a country like a business is very bad policy because the aims are ultimately very different, and the biggest problem faced by countries is not illegal immigration. He spends far too disproportionate a time dealing with this and avoiding the real problems America faces because they other problems require solutions he's not strong enough to make. Question this, though is: why are you are you moaning inaccurately about pissing off snowflakes...?

    I've delt with the racism/sexism in a previous post.

    How many Muslim refugees has Putin taken in.
    Trump is taking steps to protect the USA against hordes of refugees whose lifestyle is not compatible with western democracy. The attitude to women and their rights is a huge stumbling block to successful integration of muslims and Trump has seen what has happened in Europe and its not in Americas interests to be a draw for millions of black North African men. Putin is not opening the doir to this either and he isnt being constantly derided like DT.
    The Australian Government wont even let tefugees land, Austalia is enormous but it wont make room for Muslims either, why isnt the Australian PM getting dogs abuse for doing exactly what DT is doing.
    The Austrians, the Italians, the Spanish, the Poles, the Hungarians and most of all the UK are closing the doirs to economic migrants but only DT is being villified.
    People can read and know how facts are being fed to them, its very tiresome.

    You would think Trump never got a single vote the way some in American media and in this part of the world go on about him. He received a huge mandate on the electoral college and millions of votes. They saw Trump as the best option available to them, that's it. The rest is conspiracy nonsense.

    At least he was elected. Leo Varadkar the douchebag was just handed the top job without a single vote from the public knowing he would be put in that position.

    The non-white ones. If he took as hard a stance on illegal undocumented Irish as he did on the islamic or latino ones, you can imagine the responce from here.

    Irish people aren't flooding into America. No predominantly white nation is. We aren't systematically entering gangs either and we aren't involved in supplying the country with drugs.

    Note to the people with zero comprehension skills: I am taking abort illegal immigrants from the Americas with no economic opportunities, not Mexicans or legal immigrants.

    The "concentration camps" showed a sliver of the scale of illegal immigration.


    If Trump is racist because of a lawsuit from the 70s and because he has focused on the primary group causing immigration issues, then he is likely one of the least racist white men of his age in that country.
