Donald Trump

Looks like he's got the Republican nomination for the Presidency.

That's as sensible as electing Corbyn as the leader of the Labour party.

Is the world going stark raving bonkers?

My votes going to Monster Raving Loony tomorrow - they're all clowns

 

First let me say, I dont like Trump and his money.

But, and its a big BUTT, as they say in America.

I just think people are fed up with professional politicians, they only say the right things, creep around, not wanting to step on anyones toes because they know their job is on the line if they say one word out of place or offend any one section of society.

Its unreal how politicians have to pussy foot around these days, no real issues get dealt with because of the PC brigade, and I just think Trump is one of the consequences.
Worrying that its been allowed to get this far, but it might just give the other gutless bigade a good kick up the ass.

 

@pete, I have to disagree. Obama has on many occasions made his feelings and intentions clear. Including, quite publicly, telling a significant proportion of the American public that they should be ashamed of themselves.

His predecessor, George Bush, would have probably done the same, had he been capable of stringing a coherent sentence together.

 

Maybe telling the public they should be ashamed of themselves is not really the right way to go, do we want to be talked "down" to by our politicians?
Trump is talking them "up", and it seems to be working, rightly or wrongly.

I quite liked George Bush senior, George dubya, was another thing.

 

Next US President & next UK Prime Minister, must be the hair

 

Yeah, but you see Obama's problem was, they didn't like him enough, if they did, he would have had full control.
So in other words, much like here, he only appealed to a minority of the population.

The so called Democracy of the western world is failing fast.


Even in America where they have a more democratic system than we do.

 

The ashamed bit was a Quote from Clueless.

 

Mrs T's is a American and she stunned by the way the Republican American's have believed this idiot.
I keep winding her up, on how thick her country people are.
She's a big supporter of Obama, on what he has done pushing through health care.
If i had Trump's money I think I would buy a new wig.

 

Yeah but isn't that how it all works.
One side does not agree with the other.
Who the hell am I to say they should not carry guns, its down to the people who live there to decide, its called democracy.
Its a big place, with a very varied population, you cant compare it to the UK. We are a minor out post of the EU, and Obama thinks that is wonderful.

But I think the UK has also lost its way.
