    Another move from Kim Don Trump that's straight out of the Nazi party playbook.

    Ha. Good. Time for change. Drain the swamp.

    @listermint you're starting to sound a bit manic. Calm down. It's just a boards discussion.

    What type of people do you want to replace them, more oil executives? Foreign policy experts? Someone else?

    He'll probably just get in more people from Goldmann Sachs. I think he's up to six now.

    Frankly, Trump Sabre rattling is much more concerning than the average president. He's devoid of diplomatic ability and isn't prone to common. That's the big difference between him and previous presidents, not in a good way. Also suspect the very people defending him would be going ape if Obama had behaved as Trump has in last week.

    "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-one percent (41%) disapprove."

    Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do

    "As he progressed from punchline to primary contender, from frontrunner to nominee, and then from seemingly doomed general election candidate to president-elect, Donald Trump has, for all his idiosyncrasies, offered a remarkably consistent package of promises.

    Now, less than a week into his presidency, he is beginning to carry them out."

    Keep it up Donald.

    The future American ambassador to the UK was just on BBC saying that there will be a sweetheart trade deal with the UK and he hopes that it will encourage other EU members to consider their membership.

    It sounded a lot like they want to break up the EU.

    Isn't that the approval rating which used online polling?

    Yeah, I'll think I'll wait for ratings which can't be affected by script kiddies. You are already a day behind with your Trump propaganda. The lowest they have gotten is 55% approval.

    Online polling is not considered accurate in any way. This is a fact.

    Well done Bob it worked you engaged everyone into that utter drivel.

    Well played my man. I see through it however

    The only thing to see through is the hypocrisy of people who remained silent under Obama, but who now have found their voices.
    I welcome people finding their voices, but the previous silence also tells its own story.

    You did, by trying to make out that drones were as freely and widely available and effectively made during Bush's tenure as they were during Obama's. Seriously, you should change tact, it's getting a little embarrassing to even read at this point.




    So getting back on topic from your latest attempt to deflect by claiming Trump is pretty much just the same, why do you think the senior members of the state department quit today?

    I did not deny anything, that is you with alternative facts.

    Now this one wasn't being shared on any Trump supporter websites for some reason and no Trump supporter has posted it. Must be that agenda back again.

    I'm sure there would be none of those second amendment SS folks who would use that list at all.

    Is he gonna impose martial law in Chicago maybe ? Meet with community leaders ?

    Or just send in 'The Feds' ? Which department ? FBI ? DEA ? Customs and Border Protection Agency ? Department of Defense ?

    All bluster as usual.

    People give out here all the time about shootings in 'Murica'
    When Trump says he will send in people to do something about it, if the locals in charge cant deal with the situation, people give out too. :confused:

    I hope he does send in authorities with the wherwithall to deal with these awful problems, and help people try get their lives back from gun violence and gangs.


    whatever you say about Trump cant see how its all bluster, hes doing exactly what he said he'd do

    Look at the UK, so alienated, that Mrs May is meeting Trump.

    Trump tries to play hardball on Mexico and gets stood up. May cant buy a friend in Europe. Two of the most unpopular and isolated leaders in the world have a meeting to compare notes on how they are taking their respective countries into a steep nosedive. Trump might brag about he took the Presidency despite more Americans voting for the other candidate. May might brag about taking the PM role without any election at all.

    I see the Mexican president has scrapped his meeting with Trump. After Trump threatened to scrap the meeting in a tweet. There's gonna be a very different style of diplomacy from now on.

    That's not diplomacy, it's being an ass. Trump is operating the Presidency like he would his businesses. Trying to humiliate the President of Mexico before they even meet on twitter. Honestly I thought Trump was going to be a very poor President in terms of competence, but on the evidence of his first week in power he's going to be an extremely dangerous fascist.

    Trump has already used drones - strikes in Yemen killed 5 people over the weekend. It might come as a shock to some who thought world peace would break out with Trump in power.

    If anything Trump supports deliberate attacks on civilians, to send a message to others.
    “We have to be much tougher and much stronger than we’ve been,” Trump said at the fifth Republican debate hosted by CNN in Las Vegas. The answer came in response to a question from Josh Jacob, a student at Georgia Tech, who asked, “How would intentionally killing innocent civilians set us apart from ISIS?”
    “You look at the attack in California the other day — numerous people, including the mother that knew what was going on,” Trump responded. “They saw a pipe bomb sitting all over the floor. They saw ammunition all over the place. They knew exactly what was going on.”
    I would be very, very firm with families,” he added. “Frankly, that will make people think, because they may not care much about their lives, but they do care, believe it or not, about their families’ lives.”

    Mean using a proper respected, non-online polls, Trump is plumbing new depths when it comes to approval ratings for a new President.

    All these Irish trumpers he is now coming after you.

    https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/26/trump-signs-executive-order-stripping-non-citizens-of-privacy-ri/

    But yeah hill hill and obamba...




    Enforcing privacy policies that specifically "exclude persons who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents," while aimed at enhancing domestic immigration laws, effectively invalidates America's part of the Data Shield agreement, opens the current administration up to sanctions by the EU and could lead our allies across the Atlantic to suspend the agreement outright.

    You can be damn sure I will be here, as I said I expect nothing much to change, apart others will also have found their conscience and might voice their concern over the US foreign policy which I expect will continue to be disastrous, no doubt.

    That is why I say people have found their conscience, the killing that people have been silent about, will be deemed to be worse now when some have been silent for so long, and suddenly will care about the war crimes the US continuously commit.

    Anyway who places hope in any US president are seriously deluded. It is a job application to become a war criminal.

    Not to mention that:

    1. I thought polls were irrelevant to Trump fans?

    2. Rasmussen has a history of being one of the least accurate polling agencies in the US with a strong Republican bias.

    3. Hank hates media bias, right? :p

    I would guess neither Trump or May cares, and it gave the Mexican president the opportunity to look tough for his home audience.
