Prayut Plays Down Trump Comparisons By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter - At left, then-candidate Donald Trump at a March campaign event. At right, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha in December. BANGKOK — Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha played down comparisons between him and Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that while he may not be a politician like the U.S. president-elect, he is a straight shooter. Asked about comparisons made between the two since the Republican’s election last week, the junta leader responded by launching into a lengthy discourse about himself and his style Tuesday at Government House.

seahorse Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Donald Trump is far from a straight shooter. He is a psychopath (all of whom are liars) who uses his money and position to abuse women. I hope Prayut is not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toknarok Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) No General, Trump is no more a politician than you are. He did however get to where he is by legitimate means which is more than can be said for yourself. Edited November 16, 2016 by metisdead Bold font removed.

colinneil Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 The PM is living in la-la land, comparing himself to Trump. Trump was elected by the people, Prayut stole his position by force of arms, Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I don't comment on Thai politics these days, but it's better not compare yourself as similar to trump. The election of the demagogue trump is an embarrassment to most Americans. He's the most unpopular presidential candidate to win the presidency in U.S. history and he didn't even win the most votes.

Yes another major difference between the two as Prayut doesn't have to worry about a ' most unpopular candidate ' tag since he never bothered with anything so trivial an an election.

miamiman123 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Of all usa eligible voters in the Trump Clinton race .....46% did NOT vote at all. What does that tell you about voter belief in hope and change 2?? Let's wait for Trump's cabinet picks....that will tell you something about hope and change or 911 reinvestigation.

Denim Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hang on ....... just a short time ago Trump was being compared to Taksin . Which therefore means Prayuth is like Taksin ?

rkidlad Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Big difference is that we know for a fact it's gonna be '4 years' 'til the American people have the chance to vote Trump out.

To snowflake comments like this and another to the other protagonist in the article -- believe Prayut referred to himself as the straight shooter.

Yes, but by a minority vote and not the majority vote. Legal coup. Trump speaks English. Not very well. Have you heard him?

And he won it by using twitter by standing up to the entire elitist establishment: Bankers, Media, Movie and high tech industry. Actually he has more in common with somebody the junta fears.

Chris Lawrence Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 In Australia we say that a man who thinks like that has his hand on it! Just flogging it as it feels better, with maybe a picture of Mr Trumps wife for guidance. Its like saying he is making Chinese eyes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good comparison. They should do a much badder or much better poll here it would be interesting. That the world is encountering these types of personalities is not a good sign and very disturbing. It is a stealth coup of the populous. We the retired and expats can sit on the sidelines and spur on the working (if they are lucky) retirement hopefuls in the world but by the time you get to where we are the cupboard will be sadly bare. We are the lucky ones we barely got out by the skin of our teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
