    Don't give a f**k about him, but I find the outrage from some of my fellow citizens and media hilarious. I live in Ireland btw.

    hes a populist. The only reason he exists as president is because there was an absolute refusal to listen to the majority of people, hence creating a vacuum for him to fill. Now everyone is split down the middle, despite majority concerns.

    Instead of people questioning him as president, maybe they should focus on WHY hes president. Hes making the right moves for a lot of people that were purposefully disenfranchised.

    Other than the presidency, hes just another wealthy ass.

    Hilary Clinton was nothing, she was simply yet another in a long line of clones, preaching and doing the same crap as before.

    If hillary Clinton was so influential, how did trump get through the republican primaries then?

    Nah, hes a populist giving an alternative political route (anything potentially different is better than the guaranteed same old same old). Like most of the world is turning to as we type.

    Never heard of him before. Could you post some links where I could learn some more? I don't know how to use Google, you see.

    He wants to make America great again.

    His route seems to be to antagonize various foreign states into blowing up America, so that he can recreate it better next time.

    Think he's following the German model after WW2.

    There exists a state in between being a billionaire and being broke.

    A results driven, effective, visionary. Completely breaks the mould of traditional politicians. Not into the softly, softly nonsense of diplomacy. Completely breaks the paradigm of traditional politics. Runs rings around gameplayers.

    Thing is I watched a vox Pop on RTE news couple of weeks ago to lazy to turn away so watched the report. It was in Vegas asking people on the street about Trump and the up coming elections. Now maybe they got unlucky and couldn't find any of the 'outraged' but everyone the reporter chatted to seemed happy with Trump and what he's up to. One guy thought he was a bit mad but was happy that cause of Trump he has a job and money in his pocket.

    I think he's following the German model just before WW2 in fairness.

    Cause and effect. And not racism either.

    As some comedian said at the time, a lot of people voted for Obama. So where did all the supposed red-necks racists come from?

    Theyre the same people!

    He's not a politician bless him, probably hasn't a clue what the **** is going on.
    Whoever it is behind the scenes that are feeding
    him the lines and making the policies are the real culprits.

    He does what he says he’ll do and he looks after his own people first.

    Ours are all too busy cowering to their European overlords..

    I intensely dislike him as a person but I saw a long way out that he was likely to succeed because he struck a chord with people who are sick and tired of being lied to and paying through the nose for the pleasure.

    Following Leo’s lies and failed promises I’ve begun to think we need a strong right wing leader for a few years. Sort out all the whingers and scroungers..

    What we have now isn’t working for a lot of us and that won’t go on forever..
