The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

Well actually, the triangle symbol is most certainly there on the Ratcliffe website.

Check for yourself.

Whether it indicates anything or not is anyone's guess.

It's a bit weird though.

They're not the only ones to use that logo https://youtu.be/tkzklwBW-vo (edit that's actually has something to do with the Radcliffe foundation)

If you're human trafficker, what better thing to be involved in?

Oh yeah, and then there's Nicole Kidman's Dad....

Coincidentally, it occurred to me a few days ago that USA is becoming more like North Korea. More isolationist, seeming not to care what others think, distrusting of outsiders, inward looking and with a nutter in charge of nuclear arms.

Also both leaders have some bizarre hairstyles.

Coincidentally, it occurred to me a few days ago that the muppet media use the wrong words and is full of "double speak".

eg,calling being independent a "isolationist".

Why should Trump care much about what others think, specially when that thinking is counter productive and sometimes just retarded.

And badly internally divided. Small town USA distrusts the cities, the city dwellers don't believe what small town USA has elected.

Whoever thought up the campaign to make the population distrust the media was brilliant when you look at what has ensued from that.

Now comes the campaign to make sure that the heartland believes that the only saviour is Trump - all else are fake news.

Can't say I've heard the media actually use the term ... it was my own opinion. I guess they could have though. Regardless, telling a company that if it builds things overseas and imports them back home they'll be slapped with huge levies at the border is more about isolation than independance.

It didn't work out well in the Muldoon era, but at least he had a sense of humour.
That said America isn't really an export nation esp now, unlike NZ.
America has also traditionally used subsidies to encourage production, as well as import trarifs and import levies all that resulted in is very inefficient farming,
likely the same happened to their car industry as well.
They just ended up building a lot of old fashioned inefficient basic cars that no one actually wanted.

Perhaps "anti globalist" would suit better. From what I see on other forums, if you declare yourself a globalist in the US now, the wrath of the good 'ol boys and the god botherers will descend upon you...Globalism is unpatriotic I have on good authority. And probably ungodly....

Trump should in fact care what others think, despite the US' undoubted power, they're not self sufficient and do need trading partners.
Being on good terms with them can also be fruitful...

It'll also make fuck all difference to the price.

Do these fuckwits really believe that they can make manufacturers come back to the US, pay US wages and overheads and not double the product's price?

First sign of any bully tacits from Trump we should limit the amount of cheese we export them...........

Bearing in mind that the US participation in the Vietnam war was started with a lie about an attack on US ships in the Tonkin Gulf, and that George W's war in Iraq was started with a lie about non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The efforts of the Trump administration to lie about a Houti rebel attack on a Saudi ship, and present it as "an attack by Iran on one of our ships" should ring a bell. An alarm bell. Those who do not learn from history...

Any hopes that Trump would become "Presidential" have proved unfounded. He's the same ignorant, arrogant, fuckwit he always was, except that now he's being manipulated by a dangerous arsehole who is a lot smarter than he is.
