El Presidente Trump

Kermit.de.frog

It's happened folks. You are only waking up but it has happened. A genuine unstable idiot has become president of the US.

I will be asleep as you wake. But I will wake too and I will also think of the consequences and wonder is it a dream:eek:

It's not a dream.

It's real.

F**k

I don't agree that everyone who voted for Trump is a racist, misogynist, homophobe etc. However, everyone who voted for Trump, voted for a racist and a homophobe and a misogynist. Of that there is no denying.

This. I was in a shop earlier today and the woman behind the till said, 'Doesn't it all feel like a joke?'.

Kind of unreal.

Was there as much outrage when Reagan, an actor, was elected? Was there as much outrage when Arnold was elected governer?
I thought he would win, but didn't believe he would. Think that sums it up best. I doubt much will actually change.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss

actually its exactly that , in a age of social media and 24/7 TV , a sports competition ( or more correctly a reality TV programme ) , Trump know this better then anyone. Its matters not what you say in elections, his feet will not be held to the fire, he will campaign on a 2nd term exactly in the same way , ( blame others , fear etc )

I personally dont fear Trump, I certainly would've preferred Jeb Bush, but Id take Trump over Cruz and the other ideologues. ideologues are very dangerous people, Trump is a complete pragmatist , he has no moral compass , he will chop and change and " do the deal ".

Pence on the other hand scares me

Note ISIS is over , are you following the situation in Mosul, unfortunately of course , another group will take its place

It may have been treated like a reality TV show by the Duck but I find it hard to believe that people who voted for all the radical bizarre mad ideas he came up with will vote for him again next time when he can't possibly deliver 10% of it. Especially if the Democrats come up with a candidate that isn't as universally despised as Hillary.

What is truly scary is the Duck has let the genie out of the bottle, a candidate can come from nowhere, with zero political experience and literally say whatever he wants to get elected (cf the Brexit campaign) and he can succeed.

In an age where there has never been more access to information, I think people have never been so stupid.

Yes , its a rather amazing situation, its hard to extract what this means in terms of women voters

(a) The glass ceiling is irrelevant ?
(b) Locker room talk has little effect on the vast majority of women ( do they secretly expect men to be like that ) ?
(c) A women president is not necessarily a womens friend?

hard to know

When the immigration problems starts to hit the fan more and more over here and in Europe, we'll have a President who will at the very least, be on our level in terms of protecting Ireland.

That's a big one.

Yes, these imaginary immigration problems will hit any day now. Any day.

I think that trump won not because America voted fro him, but because they voted AGAINST clinton...

Tough sh*t if you cannot be arsed to vote. And it's highly likely it wouldn't affect the overall breakdown at all. Deal with it, a tonne of women from all backgrounds voted for Trump. But that doesn't fit your agenda so lets presume every poor little civilian (and ever poor civilian is a woman right?) who was dramatically prevented from voting but the Trump fuelled Illuminati would have voted for Hillary, every last single one of them....feel better now?

That's only 4 American women.

I completely agree with the attitude that if you don't vote then tough ****. But I'm not going to deal with a misogynist acting as head of my country. Free speech exists and I'm going to scream about it until he's kicked right out or until the next election, whichever comes first. And if it doesn't fit your "sexism against women doesn't exist" agenda then crawl back into your safe space or move to Iraq.

Eh, no world war 3? Clinton is a war mongrel playing Russian Roulette with Putin for a long time now. He plans to ease international tensions and strengthen them with countries like Russia.

That's before you get into things like Clinton funding Saudi Arabia back and fourth with illegal money, SA fund ISIS and she wanted open borders. It would have been the end of the US like what's happening in France and Germany right now. If he can work with people like Putin to end ISIS it's only a good thing for Ireland.

She makes me want to hurl ever since she lied to the families of victims in Benghazi, then went on TV calling them liars. The woman is pure evil.

repatriation of billions has little effect on Ireland
Trump has focus on " brown " illegal immigration, Irish " undocumented " are a pimple and likely to be overlooked.
reinvestment by US in ireland, why would that change. They need access to the EU
J1 visa, who cares ( its already nearly useless as you have to have a job offer in advance anyway )

awkward paddy days, naw, Trump is a great pragmatistic and in reality " a stand up guy". He and his son knows ireland well enough

I suspect much will continue as before

I can understand why people are happy to see Trump as president, it represents a kick to the establishment but thats not what happened here. Trump is no man of the people, this is hardly a kick to the elite. Trump is billionaire, he is part of the elite. I wouldn't have taken much joy from Hilary being elected president, but equally i'm not naive enough to think of Trump as some kind of hero tearing down the establishment. He is a bigot, a racist a sexist and a bit of an ego maniac. Not exactly the kind of person you want tearing down the establishment....not that that will happen. In all reality very little will change. The anti Establishment vote would have been a vote for one of the other candidates other than Hillary or Trump

Yep. If you look at the House/Senate breakdowns, the outcome (Republican v Democrat) has tended to look the same, with about 40% of women voting Republican.

Absolutely delighted.....

What ridiculous logic. You're assuming they would have voted for Trump despite the fact that they had the chance and didn't? Yeah makes sense.

And you're assuming that the other 58% would have voted for Clinton when they had the chance and didn't...

The difference being that as you take the turn-out and hypothetically make it bigger, you'd actually have a lowering percentage voting for Hillary because the existing turn-out has taken into account the women who felt strongly enough about it and voted for her because she was a woman.
