Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

His son in law Jared Cushner let it slip.in an interview a number of years ago that Israel's plan is to turn Gaza into the most desirable beach resorts in the muddle east, like another Miami or Dubai, with beach front condo's, etc.

Now to do that, we all know the first step is to clear the place, remove the Gaza residents (to god knows where). Ch4 news reporter last night was asking the Israeli security minister was her plan to clear Gaza compketely, and she said yes 'we have to remove everyone from gaza to protect us from terrorists'.

If Trump gets back in, like the last time, he will back Israel to clear gaza ... obviouly there will be a reward in it for him and his family. Bets on a few Trump Towers o being built along the Gaza beachfront in 10 years time ??

This is an anti Trump thread, you just have to accept that, let them at it.

I’m pretty sure Trump is waking up in the mornings and wondering how he pi$$ people off today, I’m not American and cannot vote, but if I was and I could then I would be voting for the Donald, twice if I could.

To be clear are you saying people who are critical of Trump have no business being here?
Did you mean to imply that, I don't think you did, but it seems to be on a par with your interpretation of what I wrote in terms of a response.

Words not said. I suggest you go back and re-read what was actually written, because I have absolutely no idea how you got from: "I don't think that's a good reason to give a free pass here either to Trump's conduct or the misrepresentations made in defence of it."
to: "if I don’t call Trump names every second post and criticise him that I’ve no business being here."

Because you wrote: "it’s not my country and apparently a hell of of lot of its citizens don’t care what he does… They’ll get the president they deserve is my view at this stage."

To me, that begs the question why post here at all on an Irish forum, as someone without a vote in the election. If all you want to do is keep up to date with the polls, news and eventually results etc, there are better places for it. Because it seems to surprise you that there are discussions here of Trump's conduct, and challenges made to defences \ excuses \ commendation of it.

Take a step back and attempt to read through this thread impartially, do you think you could achieve this? If so I’d be very interested in what you see.

This is an active election campaign, there are very very few people who are interested enough to want to listen to the conversation but disinterested enough that they are entirely impartial.

And as this is the CA/IMHO forum, it is acceptable to more readily express personal opinions, but if you are looking for conversations on the topic, but not with this level of personal views expressed, the conversation on the same topic in the Political forum may be more to your taste.

But bear in mind, even there, given that Trump is what he is, you will still see personal views as part of the conversation.

P.S. I would add, Donald J Trump himself plays some degree of responsibility for the change in tone in political conversations in the last ten years or so. It's another reason why he is not fit for office ;)

“Why accuse Harris of being fake,”

Do please point out where I have said that. Thanks.

Really? I wouldn't have put money on either when Harris was announced.

There was no logical reason for the UK to enact trade sanctions on itself or to vote Trump (nevermind Hillary, the entire Republican party got knocked out). People vote with emotions not logic. Logic is just used to justify their vote after the fact.

People want others to blame. Trump gives them that.

I don’t expect anyone to be a Trump supporter, not sure if any of my posts have ever indicated this.

There’s a bigger proportion of Irish trump supporters than there is Irish boards posters, just my experience of the outside world.

Not sure how you conclude trump supporters are foreign trolls, usually on boards a thread takes a certain direction, take this one for example, basically an anti trump thread, this does not mean that anyone who contradicts the theme or direction of the thread is a troll, it just means they have an opinion that goes against the majority.

Donald Trump is a highly decisive character, he offends a lot of people, and when people get offended they need an outlet to vent, this is why the thread has become anti Trump thread as those who need to vent are naturally the loudest, but don’t mistake that for Trump having no supporters in Ireland, they just spend more of their time laughing than venting.

This, coupled with the earlier post about a strong percentage of women voters, gives me a little hope. The 60+ cohort of women I know in the US are all voting Harris, because of abortion. Several will vote GOP downticket, unfortunately, but POTUS is the critical job.
