Surprised Trump didn't mention that Sweden is the only country where the clouds are interesting
Even old Americans View attachment 82327
DETROIT (WXYZ) - A black business owner is under fire, his restaurant boycotted, because he chose to cater a Republican event involving Donald Trump Jr. in Detroit.
All the while Trump offers his (simple) thoughts on Brexit, the EU, Russia, China I'll not worry about "some advice on why you [the US] should have voted a different way."
The old Americans are far more like Trump than any Democrat is.
I think that Vladimir Putin has learned a valuable lesson from this election... It has shown him that the people cannot be trusted to pick the right President and that Mr Putin will continue " de-selecting " any candidates he feels are not as worthy as him for the upcoming Russian elections.American politics set themselves up for a Trumpesque president when it moved away from bipartisan politics.
The more tribal the House of Representatives and The Senate became, the less that got done.
If Government stops working, quite literally back in Oct 2013, then the vacuum gets filled by someone else.
Washington, not happy with only doing bad job, decided to ice the cake by choosing the 15-20 most piss poor candidates it could find.
This then allows a shaved gorilla with bad hair to wipe the floor with the lot of them.
President Obama didn't have the political nouse to deal with the Republican's in his second term, as he didn't have to in his first where he made things worse by screwing them over.
Just as Bush and Clinton did before him.
The big question is - will anyone learn anything after this monumental balls up?
I'm in no way a supporter but:-
The planet has been on the same trajectory the last 70 years.
A year ago we were looking ahead to a further 5, 10, 70 years of the same.
Now I'm a white middle aged man with a job, house, family, car, etc, I'm winning.
But there's plenty that aren't winning and despite what we tell ourselves, they never will.
Those people, the ones that can vote, have shouted f**k you very very loudly.
In the space of 12 months, we have lurched from some peoples stability to the brink of scary shite chaos.
Under the rule of Farage and Trump 'we' have taken a monumental step back, but assuming we're still around to see it, when we get back to striding forward I hope we'll be taking a considerably more people with us.
Oh dear god no.In what conceivable way do you think Trump will help ordinary people? He's a multi-billionaire who's surrounded himself with his mega-rich buddies. It's a massive scam. How people believe that the right wing help the working classes when they actually grind them into the dirt is beyond me.
I think it's a sad indictment of modern politics that we have had in rectnet times politicians of the ilk of (for example)
Bliar
Brown
Juncker
Hollande (what a complete waste of oxygen)
Clinton
Farage
Trump
However, the left-wing luvvies really need to get on with their own lives and stop this constant whining. Trump is not a nice piece of work (but IMO, Clinton was a worse choice), but he has struck a chord with a vast amount of people. The problem is that a lot of the news outlets have a left-wing, politically correct bias and are royally pissed off with what's happening and are twisting their reporting by the use of emotive language against Trump.
The left-wing brigade can't see that so many are disenfranchised by the elite (from all parties). Globalisation doesn't work as it benefits large corporations but not the working people. Too much immigration causes tensions as, although we're not allowed to say this, there is still a lot of racist/religious tensions and having vast numbers of people being absorbed into another country does cause problems.
The left-wing zealots are also very good at manipulating the agenda and exaggeration, for example globull warming.
But no, I don't Support Trump, but then again I though Obama was completely ineffective and hypocritical and Clinton would have been a disaster.
This pretty much sums up the dumbest and loudest Democrat clowns mindset. A big reason why people rail against them so hard even if Trump does and says stupid shit.

It is bloody pathetic isn't it. I think what is out of order is how they have attacked Trumps family personally with insults, boycotts of products and so on. In the end these people look bloody stupid, it is going way over the top now. That restaurant owner also doesn't deserve to be abused or have his business go down the pan, it was just a sodding picture. Like I said pathetic.
He's vile: nasty and dangerous. I can understand why people bought the stuff about American jobs, but was it worth WW3. Totalitarian tendencies.
I find Trump to be a little unpredictable at times, and I may become concerned about the direction of U.S. foreign policy in future, but -
I have been much more worried about WW3 while we and the U.S. have been aggressively antagonizing and propagandizing against Russia in recent years. We've almost seemed to want to start a third world war with some of our conduct towards and pronouncements about Russia over the last decade.
A U.S. President suggesting we should try to have a decent relationship with Russia is both refreshing and reassuring when it comes to worries about potential future conflicts, for me at least.
So when Russia marches into Estonia what do you expect Trump to do.
Say that's ok Putin buddy we're friends and you used to control Estonia no problem carry on. In fact I've had a chat with my other good buddy Nigel and 1 less EU member is wonderful news and dont worry about NATO they can't do anything without me.
