The problem is that her and people like her are very quick to exonerate Hilary "The Angel of Benghazi" for decisions she was party to that cost thousands of innocent lives.

He didn't bend and cede to Israels every whim and had an extremely frosty relationship with Netanyahu. Does it literally alarm NOBODY that Putin, Assad, Netanyahu are all delighted Trump has been elected? No? Putin will cosy up to Donald, wrap him around his finger and waltz back into Ukraine to take more land past the Crimea. Netanyahu will be building more settlements deeper into Palestinian territory starting the week Trump hits office. That's without even mentioning climate change. Trump is on record as saying "climate change is a hoax". Well, that's tremendous - we'll continue to have the seas warming up, glaciers melting etc. He'll do more damage in 4 years than the previous 40 years of American policy combined. As if all that wasn't enough, what moral standing does the US have to intervene in other elections now? How can they comment on electoral corruption in other countries when their own PRESIDENT is on record saying he might not accept the democratic will of the people if he loses.

wonderfullife wrote: » If you're happy to just worry about your own job and your own family, then sure it probably doesn't affect Ireland directly for at least 12-18 months. A combination of dominos from the Brexit negotiation and Trumps agenda may very well affect Ireland directly in the future. Take that aside, if you can't see the obvious risk re: Israel, then you're deluded. Obama was the first President in a long time to basically drop unilateral support for Israel. They are throwing parties over in Israel and ISIS are throwing parties too. Traditionally the only way illegal settlements into Palestinian territory have been stopped is by political pressure from America and the U.N. Trump couldn't give a monkeys if Israel land-grabbed half of Palestine and built a huge wall. That's going to incite increasing cycles of conflict, terrorist recruitment and increase in terrorism incidents. That could affect any of us directly or indirectly in the near future. Meh. I don't think the world will stop turning but people being blasé and nonchalant about this won't be so blasé in 2 years when it's all turned to complete sh1t (worse than now).

Never mind actual American citizens who will be affected by his policies, but Irish people scaremongering in social media rants as part of an insufferably sanctimonious bandwagon. The Clinton victory party crying over another republican buffoon getting elected to office. Imagine Ronald Reagan was born twenty five or thirty years later than he was and we were still in the Cold war era and he just announced his Star Wars plans ? The Bushes and their two Gulf Wars anyone ? World didn't turn to ash as far as I'm aware. This egomaniac and his obviously daft "wall" proposals. Promotional bluster to appeal to the deep south and Midwest voters. People on both sides of the Atlantic really need to take stock and get a grip of themselves. I actually got a great laugh out of the whole thing.
