The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[Grumph]

The man is a hopeless ego-maniac who's main source of information appears to be conspiracy theory websites and his fans on facebook.

He's pledged to bring to justice the news organisations promoting "False News"...You'd automatically think he'd start with Fox...
After all, THEY made HIM look bad.....

In breaking news, posted by a very cynical American on another forum, "The survivors of the Bowling Green Massacre are to go to Sweden to offer support to survivors of the attack there".....

It's becoming very apparent he's not listening to anyone on his staff - Or is it that none of them are talking to him ?

In the climate of the current day - how do you know any of that is even true?

Probably best to let him run his course and judge him by what he does rather than be convinced by all these dubious claims about what he is going to do or not do!

[yokel]

The words "terrorist" and "attack" where the fuck are they?

Trump is right, it's all fake news folks.

Problem might be more the staff he listens to: mainly Bannon and Miller, both white supremacists, but neither of whom knows shit about how government works. They both worked at Breitbart ffs. Now *there's* a fake news organisation.

"You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden."
Not me anyway you idiot orange-utan drop-kick. Try Yokel.

Seriously? - what on earth brought that on?

Not you. The orange one. I was answering his question, "Who would believe this?"

[oldrider]

That makes me feel a whole lot better - you had me worried there!

I read in the news ( probably fake) that Russia is now #1 oil exporter and grain grower in the world.

The head choppers are #2 and US #3 for oil production.

Putin the 'Great' into Russia.

Trump's "policies" may bite him on the arse because they aren't thought through. Mexico has been buying billions worth of corn from the US annually. They are currently trying to source corn from South America so as not to buy from the US. The inbred yokels in Iowa may have cause to reflect on their enthusiasm for Trump.

Trump though can feel completely vindicated, he has just been endorsed by no other than Robert Mugabe.

As soon as Trump canned the TPPA the farmers who supported him reacted - 75% of the grain they grow is exported ... I saw a video clip of one of them saying trade was so important to the US that they did not believe he would do that ..

Well, they are learning now.

Upshot of Trump experience?: - The American people are probably going to end up "begging for martial law" - it wont be nice for anybody anywhere in the world!

Well - to be fair, he did say multiple times that he was going to can the TPPA - I mean, I understand people are shocked and confused at a world leader actually doing what they said they would do but....

In other hilariously ironic news - all the types of people who were so vehemently against the TPPA - how many of them have said a kind work about Trump or even a kind word about Trump doing away with the TPPA....

The only "dubious claims" I have posted have been straight from Trump's mouth...

IMO news organisations have no need to make anything up around this idiot, every time he opens his mouth he puts a foot in it. Conventionally politicians going into a press conference will have discussed with staff exactly what will be said - and what won't be touched. Watch any of the NZ Ministers - there's a staffer at the shoulder to stop any off course digressions immediately.
Looking at what he's saying - not reported but actual live film - there's no filter at all. It's stream of consciousness stuff with no pre planning whatsoever.
Sooner or later he's going to say something publicly which will get him pulled up either by Congress or the Judiciary.

I see the trip to Florida was to reassure himself he still had grassroots support...campaigning is one thing, governing another.

That's the plan .. UNLESS Trump is doing the right things , first 100 days and all that

Stock market touching 20 k , and a Mafia lad in charge , surrounded by scum

If I were in Iran ... The all mighty would be getting extra doses of prayer ,

Wasn't aimed at "you" just like Pritch wasn't aiming at me! - nothing like face to face eyeball to eyeball is there? - no expression on a keyboard!
