Donald Trump

[Damocles]

There should only be on poster cringing on this exchange. I’m just surprised you didn’t gloss over it and not reply like last weeke and you were accusing me telling you ‘what you mean’ literally several pages after telling CB what he meant when he posted about rich white men being represented in both houses.

Not only did I not "gloss over it", I made about 10 posts about it.

And you still don't get what mistake you made a week later. STILL. You STILL don't fundamentally understand what point was being made, how it was being made, and how it differs to what you think it meant.

You don’t get it. It’s not binary.

It’s more than possible to sit in the middle and believe both extremes are scum bags.

Are you seriously attempting to tell me that I don't understand the principle of centrism?

Ok, I understand the principles of centrism.

Maybe you should try it with Trump?

Other than fuck one (that happened to be a Miss World contestant), what has Trump ever done to suggest he’s remotely in favour of immigration of any kind?

The same that you've done to suggest you're against rape.

The idea that you have to positively prove any accusation against yourself incorrect is batshit insane.

I didn't make a mistake, you ascribed meaning to CB's post and you were incorrect. Even PB (who is always ready to denounce Anti-semitism) took the time to explain that you were most likely incorrect to infer he was going anywhere the subject of "Jews".

As and when he makes any policy decision that I believe to be founded in reason or that I agree with then I will say so.

So far, I have managed to do that once, where he warned off the ANC about taking white farms without compensation. I was shocked that all it took was a tweet however but it seemed to do the trick.

EDIT: He's also criticised Saudi over the murder of that journalist at the Saudi consulate in Turkey. Can't disagree with that either.

What I haven't done is implement laws that make things harder for the victims of rape whereas Trump has implemented policy that makes things harder for immigrants and out right bans them from certain countries on a false premise.

I see Trump, having been only too happy to take the praise for increases in the equity markets is now blaming the Fed for the latest correction and is claiming he knows far better than anyone else and forcing his advisors to downplay his words:

The Federal Reserve has come squarely in the president’s cross-hairs in recent days as stocks tumbled. Mr Trump described the policies pursued by chairman Jay Powell as “ crazy ” and “loco”, suggesting misguided rate rises are puncturing equity values.

Sustained presidential criticism of the Fed for raising rates could harm investor confidence, however, and Mr Trump’s economic advisers have tried to downplay his rhetoric. Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, said this week that the president was not attempting to dictate policy to Mr Powell. Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, declined to criticise the central bank this week, saying what was happening in the market was a “ normal correction”.

Mr Trump on Thursday insisted he did not want to fire Mr Powell, although he made it clear he thought one person in particular would be doing a better job. “I think I know about it better than they do,” he said. “Believe me.”

Not only is that totally unsurprising, it would have been a huge surprise if he hadn’t blamed someone else for the markets going down.
It’s been clear from day one that he sees himself personally responsible for all good news and others are responsible when things go wrong.

His condemnations and threats of severe punishment won’t extend to jeopardising arms sales!

Again I can understand his thinking (that he doesn't want to jeopardise American jobs) but it limits the punishment options greatly considering who he is talking to.

He also won’t do anything that may encourage the Saudis to unilaterally limit their arms purchases from the US. So in reality it restricts Trump’s options to making a lot of noise and doing nothing substantive. They will boycott a conference and that will be that.

Whilst I'm not supporting ANYTHING this arseh*le says, it seems the context he was talking about was 'looters', rather that the indiscriminate targeting of any Black people.

However, you can sense the desire to just do that very thing if he could 'get away with it'.

Do you know what 'staging' is? You know, when photos/ videos are taken after the event as 'proof' rather than 'caught in the act'?

With the mid term elections about to drop, it would be very convenient for this to happen now, non?

Are Fox 'reporting' one office from multiple angles or a spate of them...?

All that outrage yet not a single point made in either post.

Could never have seen that coming.

Didn't Trump ask why the US weren't wanting more 'immigrants' from Sweden and Norway(you know, overwhelmingly White), rather than from 'sh*thole countries' like Africa and such(you know, overwhelmingly Black)?

Your 'mic drop' moment depends on whether Mrs Trump hails from Africa or not.

I'l let you study that situation for a moment...

So just to clarify this:

You think that a far right organisation attacked the GOP headquarters because a guy on Twitter said so?

And you think that's beyond reason with the mid terms upcoming...?
