I think a lot of people would be thinking it's time to invoke the 25th amendment - but then realise the VP is Mike Pence and is potentially even more scary than Trump
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Trump

Trump any day over Pence.
Pence believes in what he says, and he says so fookin scary stuff.

Trade war looks on the cards between China and the US, there will be no winners.
Meanwhile the return of John Bolton, god help us all!!

You'd really want the job of NEXT President of America, easiest job in the world.
Walk in, stand at a podium and say 'I'm not Trump'.

So far the winners have been China.For years they have taken the p.... out of everyone not to mention making it also hard to compete through
paying it's workers peanuts whilst the rest of us pay proper wages with proper working conditions.
It's time the winners were the rest of the world.
That would only happen if China do not retaliate. They are and will match every tariff.
It would be like a charity football game.China v Rest of the World.
As they lost 0-6 to Wales I would hope we would kick their ass.
A naive view of China's influence on the Global economy.

If the rest of the world really wants to "win", then they would stop buying the cheap tattle that China produces. The reality is that companies have a financial responsibility to share holders, and the staff it employs, to keep costs as low as possible to make as much yankee dollar as possible. All the time there is moral outrage, but commercial demand - China can keep doing what it does.

A naive view on how much China is dependent upon exports. It’s economy is far from stable and the official ‘statistics’ make polls in the west look like peer-reviewed academic research.
6.7% growth rate last year despite a 16% fall in exports. Achieved by tickling domestic demand but keeping it reined in for future use. Very different to the other leading economies coming to an end of their quantitative easing programmes. Their only option is to print more money to do their tickling with but we have come to the end of the road for that and rate rises have started and more lie ahead. Their domestic demand is stalling.

Not seen such Bravery!
Not good at all.
War between the US and Iran looms larger. Can't see Trumpski sticking in NATO if we don't stand with them.

An interesting view from (unexpectedly) the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-war-would-be-bad-but-trump-does-have-a-point

Yes, Mike Pence a man who can’t have dinner with another women without his wife being present. He refers to his wife as ‘mother’ in public. He is also a man with a history of believing gay conversion therapy works.
Yes, if this is a man you wish to champion on this forum, please, go right ahead.
