What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

I think at this stage its fair to say Trump believes he can say anything and there will be no repercussions. And, hate to say it, buts hes probably right.

Hope Ivanka has managed to arrange childcare for Wednesday at this stage.

Ivanka's desperate attempts to avoid testifying suggest she knows she's in for a tough time and she probably doesn't feel up to the court case.

She does seem to have stepped away from the family publicly since the 6th of January so it'll be interesting to see how she responds to questioning.

He's a cultural turd that floated to the surface buoyed by his millionaire father. There's nothing to admire here.

Ah come now - surely give some credit where it is due. He may be as you say a 'cultural turd .. buoyed by his millionaire father'.

But staying afloat with his crap & bluster is a talent. He is really very good at communicating his message and persuading others against all their better judgement to go along with his speel and schemes.

Just like a street dealer is able to hawk their fake rolexs and convince the rubes that their knock offs are genuine, trump is no different in character

Preying on stupid and vulnerable people as someone's "talent" isn't an admirable thing though. The man is an absolute wretch. Trump and people like Trump are sociopathic creeps with a fanatical devotion to only themselves who use the desperate and mentally challenged to further their own gains. To admire something like that is to let oneself down.

Sure it's all fascinating, especially if you're not directly affected by his odious works. But fascination and admiration are two different things entirely. And if there's any worth in Trumpism, it serves to shine a light on other little venal shitbags in US politics who scamper around his table hoping for some crumbs to come their way.

In any case, save your admiration for someone who deserves it.

He’s a rapist.

You are here saying you admire a rapist.

Look at yourself in the mirror for God’s sakes.

They should put that question in those polls they do

1: Do you agree that DT is a rapist

2:Would you vote for a rapist as President of the USA?

Sure, but that's the USA for you. Roy Moore, a convicted hebephile lost an election by a hair's breadth after being found out.

Most people over there are either voting red or blue in a habitual manner or, given America's spectacularly f*cked up history or racism, couldn't care less what Trump is or has been convicted of.

I'm also not sure how valuable polls are now. We're about a year away and a lot can happen between now and then.

Take your outrage elsewhere. Just like the other thread you like to bang on in, I'd remind you that it's perfectly reasonable for others to have differing views.

I didn't say I'd admired Trump the rapist - that's you trying to put words into anothers mouth - not good enough. You also seem to have zero ability to detect irony..

My admiration for Trump extends to his extraordinary ability to influence so many people against their better judgement. Whether you like this trait or not, it is remarkable and worthy of note.

And Harold Shipman did wonders for population control /s

Bearing in mind his current civil trial, What exactly has he accomplished in his business career?
