Sorry, I made a bit of an erse of myself there. I suppose it is fashionable because it's right in front of our eyes. Maybe it'll die down. I do think that at some stage, they'll try play it to their advantage: like the violence at Berkeley last night - totally counter productive.Quote:

There's a certain irony to that. Of all the politicians you wanted not to be true to their word it's him.Quote:

I'm not sure why you're placing so much emphasis on this; he shouldn't be criticised for the terrible decisions he's making, just because he said he would make them during the election campaign?Quote:

I think people are simply complaining because he's rushing into making decisions about things he has little grasp of, he's petulant, a bit racist and likely to provoke a world war and destory the global economyQuote:

The Republicans themselves will have to get rid of Trump. If any other person or force does, there will be carnage in the USA.
(Unless of course he actually lasts the 4 years and is voted out after his first term).
As opposed to the Tories saying there is a heightened alert on the chance of terrorism in the UK so to enforce that there is bad guys everywhere. If it wasn't reality I doubt I could make up govt as comical and as shambolic as the ones here and the us. As for Trump he is the classic it's ma baw kid who when he can't get his own way spits out the dummy. God knows what the rest of the world thinks of the us and the uk. May better get used to be the one nobody speaks to at parties as we are on our own now and at the mercy of the industrial European wolves. Brexit equals nobody has a clue what's going on. Just a normal time for politicians then.Quote:

Still, it is somewhat comforting to know that politicians can't just do what they want all the time.
Looks like the Steele dossier wasn't fake news. Some of it has been corroborated.
