    Typical social media warriors out in force this morning battling their keyboards to make a difference to the world.

    I always love when stuff like this happens in America and to watch the Irish reaction.

    If there was this much scrutiny and interest in our own elections.....

    And yet a much worse candidate than her was voted in a country that has never elected a woman to that candidacy. But I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.

    Saying mean things and being a dick head is definitely not worse than actually being responsible for people's deaths, for fúck sake. Get rid of your victim complex.

    Thats certainly a party political message on behalf of Trump, whats unclear is actually HOW he will deliver that . Having " make america great " as a slogan is easy, actually doing so , is incredibly difficult

    They like Slogans over there. People fell for the "Yes , we Can" crap with Obama. That quickly led to "No , you can not. We will block you" in the Houses.

    When you say you would prefer a reincarnated Hitler to Clinton, you really paint yourself as at best an idiot and that is at best. Hitler ordered the extermination of six million Jews, just reminding you.

    Hillary would have killed 6 million people within her first year of office. Killing innocent people is something she seems to hold no qualms about. Great day to see Feminism truly be shattered again.

    In other words, they're ashamed of their opinion because they're incapable of justifying it.

    very sad to see people like this hold these views.

    Well, considering Merica has a habbit of dragging many of his Allies in Europe into unwinnable wars and the "victims" coming to Europe to make pay back........yep, we in Europe are very concerned about what goes down in the USA. Especially the economy too.

    And they will continue to employ people here... You know the Government isn't going to let them turn their HQ into Bahamas-brass plates, right? The Central Bank said the same thing about British firms looking to relocate here, they're not allowed to just have 1 or 2 people here and put all their profits through, they need to have actual investment here.

    You think? .... in Obama's time there was talk of sweetheart deals to bring US companies back to the US. What do you think Trump will do? Not sweetheart deals for sure. He'd not think twice about levying a huge tax on them to make it economically unviable for them to stay abroad and effectively force them back to the US. It's possible, don't think for a second it isn't. Trump is an unknown quantity politically, and a risk taking, high roller as a business man. Don't underestimate him.

    I think people are being and have been hard on Trump. He's not a politician he's a man, nobody knows what he can or can't bring to the table. As for Clinton I hope jail is still on the cards.

    If you honestly believe that, you need to seek psychiatric help.

    Congrats to the Donald, now will all the celebs who said they were going to leave keep good on their promise.

    Just like Ray D'Arcy's threatened flounce to away if Kenny was elected, I presume they'll just retreat to their safe spce echo chambers and sulk endlessly.

    Many a president have gone before him with great slogans too.

    Hillary Clinton is a war criminal, but hey better kill millions of innocents than elects someone who doesn't want to feed illegal immigrants.

    Bush was also a war criminal.

    Trump is not Hitler, and by comparing him to one of the biggest evil men that ever was you are devaluing one the greatest horrors in history.

    Dial it back a bit, snowflake.


    Edit, I realise now that Jericho responded to Burial who started "reincarnated Hitler" so I suppose my post is towards him.

    All hail the Trump, elected on 9/11 on a platform of racism, misogyny, hatred and multiple lies.

    Now, for the messy bit: the original 9/11 (attacks) succeeded, this election is the result of the polarisation and paranoia those attacks planted. OBL won.

    PS after Russia, Turkey, UK and US, we better invest in education NOW to curb this fascist trend.

    He's not a politician he's a man

    unfortunately , politics needs politicians , in the same way medicine needs doctors. What we have is a plumber employed as a brain surgeon

    None of that makes sense whatsoever. They already repatriate money out of Ireland to places like the Caymans. That money is no longer in Ireland, and that money is what he wants back in the country.

    Trump doesn't care about 6000 people in Cork, he cares about the $200bn sitting in the Bahamas that could support 5 times as many people in the US. Trump isn't going to go on a crusade against little old Ireland, it simply isn't worth the political capital it would cost.
