The Trump administrations plan to rollback on every effort to combat climate change is already underway. We were on the very cliff edge of being able to slow the damage to the world we all share but then the US decided to say '**** it, let's jump and see what happens'

But those liberal tears are lololol amirite ?????

When you're alt-right, you'll only care about global warming when Doritos need to switch to worse-tasting ingredients because of it.

Boyd Barrett was freaking out on Matt Coopers show earlier.

Doubt Trump is too worried about an insignificant waste of space like him though.

Will be interesting to see Enda giving him a pot of shamrock on Paddys Day after calling him a racist last year.

An anti trump protest at the Central Bank .... cringe. The populist stirrers the AAA frothing at the gash over it on Facebook and twitter of course. Get a hobby lads.

What's yours? Cheerleading for a greedy, misogynistic, racist scumbag?

There's actually constitutional lawyers that believe that if Trump hadn't fully divested from some foreign holdings by the time he took the oath that he would be in violation of constitutional law. So we might have just watched him breaking the law.

Trump will be back in Trump tower before weeks out .

Protests here in SF are peaceful, if annoying. (Just because you don't like the President, I shouldn't get to work on time?)

**** like this really piss me off.

The kind of self-entitled goons who think being pissed off is license to do whatever they like to other people make my skin crawl.

How can we co-exist with people who put themselves so far above others?

There are plenty of peaceful avenues to use and if everyone moaning about Trump in the US had done all they could he wouldn't have just been sworn in as president.

Even ignoring that, sedition, treason, or trying to assassinate the president or whatever would also be fine. It's extremist but at least it has the internal logic of you fighting your "enemy".

That has nothing to do with striking out at your fellow citizens.
Just sheer thuggery.

No defriends, I am disappointed.

I hope the hard hand of the law comes down on those left wing fascists attacking Trump supporters, there's videos popping up all over the place.

Calling for 'the hard hand of the law' to crack down on opposition protesters isn't fascist at all.

His audience weren't too impressed very weak clapping. At least he doesn't have that annoying pause between every sentence unlike Obama.

No, he did that annoying hand thing instead

(somewhat Trump related)

Like him or not, the amount of outrage and bitterness here because the election didn't go a certain way is ridiculous. Or is Democracy and freedom of speech only for those who are "on message"??
Rather than wasting time with insulting the guy, maybe think about the reasons that saw him elected in the first place? They're pretty much the same as those that saw Brexit pass - a message from ordinary citizens who've been increasingly marginalised and disenfranchised by the global economy and a political system that serves itself rather than those who pay for it and who it's SUPPOSED to represent!

The next big "shock" will no doubt be when Merkel loses her seat, or the French presidency.. but it'll only be a "shock" for those who haven't heeded the warning signs above.

For what it's worth, I think Trump is certainly the most unconventional President/leader we've seen in a long time. Whether he'll be able to make good on his promises/threats remains to be seen and will very much depend on how the House and Senate react once the circus of the campaign and inauguration has died down. As for his foreign policy, he's clearly more hard-line (at least on the face of it) than Obama, but then the world has become an uncertain and dangerous place in many cases. Maybe that's what's needed?

In other words folks, respect the vote and wait and see how he actually performs as President. Everything till now (including today) has been for the supporters. It's what happens tomorrow that will define the man and his administration.
