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

You're getting fairly worked up. Are you confusing this Irish forum with an American one?

Didn't a 12-13 year old accuse him of rape?

A woman brought a case against him for raping her back in the '90s sometime, when she was thirteen years old. That was suddenly dropped a couple of days ago when it emerged that none of it was remotely true and she had fabricated the whole thing in order to damage Trump politically.

I love it , I love the uncertainty , I love that the liberal left thinking love everyone morons are crying into their cornflakes , I love the chaos involving it , the media bubble is burst and the once great nations of Britain and America can once again hold there heads up high , brexit first , now trump , brilliant , the commoner garden man has spoken and the establishment doesn't like what he has to say , this is what happens when you have years of ignorance and abuse of the silent majority , the world is changing and Europe and Ireland are getting left behind

Who promptly dropped the case. Just accusing someone of something doesn't mean they did it (see the Guildford Four)

Or you know, none of the above, but rather that conservative men and women would rather have a misogynistic buffoon as president then anyone else.

So what if he is racist or homophobe or misogynist?

The Courts in the US will put a stop to any discriminating plans, as will the two Houses.

The people want a better economy and we in Europe want to ensure that his foreign policy does not adversely affect us.

9/10 the ordinary American will not give a damn about his homophobic , racist etc views if they have a few more bucks in their pocket. They are more concerned about the bread and butter issues

The amount of butt-hurt and tantrums from dejected Clinton supporters/Trump haters is hilarious this morning to be honest. Precious SJW's and snowflakes who can't deal with the reality that the world is very different beyond the confines of their self-validating safe spaces online

The world won't end (in fact it's got a better chance of that now that we won't have Clinton pushing Putin into a corner), the more "extreme" soundbites and electioneering promises will be softened and dropped to win support from Congress and the Senate and Trump will be more like Regan in the end than the Antichrist that the above groups are making him out to be... and Regan ended up as one of the more popular presidents remember and one who also reached out to Russia and settled tensions there.

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.

of course, nobody cares about "facts" , nobody cares about what you did win the past ( FFS, look at the resurgence of FF here ).

truth no longer matter , reality TV rules ( which of course is nothing like reality )

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

+100, it may be we are in a changeover from a considered political discourse , to TV " reality" politics where "what you see" matter way more then " what you do "

Trump will disappoint his support base, just like all politicians are in the current scene will ( because they cant do the impossible ) . The interesting thing will be to see where his support base morphs to over the next 4 years, I suspect his base will change dramatically as he simply cant meet the aspirations of his current base ( less educated white males and whites in general )

That trying to put them into a simplistic box of "she's a woman, you're a woman, vote for her policies even if you don't like them!" didn't pay off...

A bunch of white people voted for a white male Republican and this is supposed to be surprising? I'm surrounded by white conservative women and knew they would vote for Trump over Hillary, this is not surprising at all.

What it will mean for Ireland,
return of of thousands of Irish to Ireland who are illegal in the US (50000 - 60000)
reduced investment in Ireland by US companies
J1 visa program abolished
awkward St Paddy's day ahead

anything good come out it for us?

Return of Illegal Irish: Better than having 50,000-60,000 non EU people in. No excuse for jobs going to them then - Country is picking up

Reduced investment: US groups sell around they world, they need a base somewhere in Europe

J1 Visa - Meh

St Patrick's Day ahead - Yep, I hope Trump goes Vince McMahon on Enda. Anyway, we , the tax payers are sick of that jolly up. Costs too much

d) Hillary Clinton is a total weapon!
e) They just overlooked the OTT negative reports about him, and liked his policies.

It was probably drawn among ideological lines before it was drawn on gender lines. A large segment of white women have tended to vote Republican anyway, Hillary's real mobilisation was supposed to be among minorities and having some sway on women voting Republican but it looks like there wasn't really that much of a tremendous shift.

I'd assume it's power politics at play, white Republicans (men or women) saw voting Republican as a way to secure their position, whereas minorities tended to vote Democrat because the Democrats tended to secure their position.
