    I’m not as convinced as some others that it’s cut and dried that choosing these words with this person is going to go down well with the entirety of his following.

    Remember - this is a nation who have voted him out before, as well as voting him in twice.
    If you genuinely and truly care about morality, you cannot vote for Donald Trump.

    If someone thinks they are a moral person, but still voted for him, then they are deluded, and their morality is really of little importance to them.

    Evangelicals have been a massive part of Trump's success over the years, and it's no surprise - he knows a right good con when he sees one. The hypocrisy of everyone involved is somehow both shocking, and yet entirely unsurprising.

    The American Evangelists who make up the bulk of Trump's Christian support base won't give two hoots about him digging out an Anglican Bishop.

    They'll hold such 'high Church' clergy in disdain. If anything it will boost his questionable Christian credentials among such types.

    Trump Jr would prob end up taking his place.

    You can see it happening already. They want to be the new Kennedy's.

    You could be right, but a double expiry is always possible.

    So I say keep the title, for future generations

    And what is it telling the Chinese other than it's OK to threaten other sovereign nations?
    I think it's more warning the Chinese to stay away from Greenland and that the way the Panama Canal is being run needs to change.

    Both of these are fair points.

    Talk of military action can be ignored. He'll push for a deal with Panama and continue to work closely with Denmark.

    The Seminole?

    They could repatriate Trump to his Motherland.

    Maybe not.

    Trump is clearly an erse.. but how is the Mexico/Southern border such a mess? Why did they let so many illegal criminals into America in the first place? Sorry I don’t follow politics but I seen bits of it on Monday when he was saying he has declared a national emergency at the border.

    It’s 2000 miles long. Very hard to secure. The proportion of criminals crossing is lower than the proportion of US citizens already there.

    20 minutes on the niddrie, Bingham or magdalene border would do me.

    Because it’s an extremely complex problem (and don’t be fooled by Trump’s chat of criminals flooding into the country - he’s just released a huge amount of violent criminals himself).

    Populists like Trump always claim that they have easy answers to complex issues, but they never do. The talk of him stopping border crossings overnight is utterly ridiculous.

    As Ozy has already pointed out, the border is massive. The amount of resources it would take to cover all of it - either by manning it, or resuming the building of his legendary wall - is huge. And that’s just one of the problems.

    Let’s also not forget that he killed at least one bipartisan bill that would have seen a huge amount of money, and human resources allocated to managing the border. He wanted to campaign on a problem, rather than have his own party contribute towards fixing it.

    Whatever the numbers are like in the coming weeks, he’ll claim he’s fixed it anyway. He’ll do the same with the economy - he’s spent months claiming it’s dog ****, but when it continues along the same path he’ll claim it’s all down to him.

    Is the orange guy a criminal "flooding" the country because he is an overweight **** of a certain age and mandatory requirement to wear certain types of underpants?

    Here’s a thing, but you can’t say it.

    They need immigrants to keep their economy ticking over. To pay taxes and to pay into pension pots.

    But you can’t say it.

    Ralphie May (RIP) is Bob on. 6 minutes or so in.

    Prophetic or what?

    He had a better understanding of what makes their base economy tick than the folk who are going to be running it now. No wonder the orange guy never actually built the wall first time around.

    They'll purchase Greenland and direct all the migrants towards there. If climate change works as scientists say the flow of migrants won't stop and Greenland will be a bit greener. The Dick Dastardly version has them developing the newly exposed land on Greenland - they mine/frack it to **** paying the migrants buttons/nowt. All those resources go towards building their big space ship and they escape to Mars [see ye, widnae want to be ye].

    Watch the video, he’s great. Sadly he died unsurprisingly with weight related illnesses.

    He’s a hilarious guy, I only discovered him after he died. His Cuban Coffee story had me crying.

    He’s spot on with much of his social commentary.

    It's fine. He just got caught up in the moment.

    I mean, everyone throws a nazi salute now and again when that happens, right?
