Donald Trump

[aguero93:20]

He is punching above his weight with his missus, he must have a great personality :)

I heard a story from my old boss once, used to be a financial controller for one of trumps companies, this was with the wife before. He asked Trump how he found such a lovely woman and Trump said he met her in a club. Kieran turned round and said "so you were in a club, you opened up your wallet and there she was?". Lad got sacked :(

I don't think you should be referring to American voters as thick racists mate.

Agreed, **** is a perfectly multifunctional word.

Bitch stole my gif.

I think a lot of his supporters are just anti-establishment/whatever is popular.

Just like in the 70's, 80's and early 90's it was cool to be anti-conservatism (hence a lot of comics, cult shows rebelled against the establishment and pushed against social conservatives) now it's cool to rebel against what they see as liberal norms. Hence a lot of the trolling.

In actual news in one of the first Trump administrations orders, the Dept of Housing & Urban Development suspended the reduction of FHA annual mortgage insurance premium rates - in other words they made it harder for poor people to get mortgages.

His supporters will love that.

Right this has been tidied up, if it goes down that route again, it will simply be deleted for good.

Discuss the situation, but keep the crap off the thread.

You all know who you are, who have had posts deleted, if any more get reported then warnings will almost certainly follow.

What did I miss?

I reckon he'll feed it, taking the extremity has never really solved anything well. It's won a fair few times, but it's always caused bother after.

True, but this relies on the person causing offense to feel guilt,remorse and generally give a fuck. I'm not sure Trump does, so the trial by social media (free speech so long as you say the same thing as everyone else) thing probably won't work. Four years is a long time for his opponents to just go on about what a twat he is without having any ideas of their own.

 

[argyle]

Taken at the same time and can be verified. It's like our parade vs the rags.

Those protesting Trump have the democratic right to do so but they make even left wing liberals cringe.

Let's not forget though that when Obama was elected there were right wingers who were protesting too...are they snowflakes also?

A little parting shot from the former President. To be fair, the outgoing administration just announced the reduction (supposed to take place on the 25th) a week ago so that Trump/Carson would be forced into deciding to make it harder for poor people to get mortgages. Trump admin is couching it as needing to protect FHA's reserve, or needing to study whether it's sufficient at least.

Does she erase the cross-out on the hammer and sickle now that Put . . . errrr, Trump is President?

No trump voter is as much of that multifunctional word as the particularly precious immigrant group Americans are expected to welcome with open arms.

I haven't heard of a trump voter argue for throwing gays off buildings, treat women as third class citizens, suicide bomb other people or execute people for "insulting" the Bible or converting from Christianity.

For all the faux outrage about trump's comments about women, it wasn't trump supporters who gang raped thousands if minor girls from other communities

And as far as racism or aby other ism goes, ask south Asians working in Arab countries or Hindus / Christian / Sikh minorities how they are treated.

It'll be terrific, just you wait and see.

Getting pulled into Godwin's law here.

So all of this was Clinton supporters?

Actually some of Trump's supporters on the Alt Right make ISIS look like the Tufty Club when it comes to Jews gays and women, and blacks and Muslims too actually. These people are out there, they may be few in number but they exist. Dylaan Roof for one.

I'm going to hold you to this the next time people start posting that Shane ****'s tweets in the transfer forum.

If fuck all else I'm consistent mate. Rarely venture into the transfer threads but I will say this. If I want twitter shite I will go on twitter. I don't expect to see it on here.

 

[blueinsa]

Don't like trump, but do like the offence he causes and generally the people he offends need fucking offending.
Hopefully even if he achieves nothing else he might stop the modern trend for faux outrage and taking offence being an actual political position.

This.

"Now is the hour of action". It's pure fascism.

This.

And trying to get the crowd chanting "America first"

Reminiscent of Nuremberg.
