spidermike007 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 34 minutes ago, iReason said: Trump's crowd size misses his mark "For someone preoccupied with the size of his audiences, President Donald Trump appeared to draw an anemic one on Friday." "In the run-up to the inauguration, Trump had promised an "unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout," but early evidence suggests the festivities in Washington fell far short of that mark." "Attendance at the Thursday concert also appeared to fall short of Obama's 2009 pre-inauguration show based on visual comparisons, with reports circulating that estimated a crowd of 10,000 at Trump's affair versus 400,000 for Obama’s." http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-inauguration-turnout-233876 Everything that has to do with him, is unbelievable and record breaking. Why? Because in his own eyes, he is the greatest man in the world. So, of course everyone would want to turn out to see, and hear the world's greatest become the world's most powerful. His self esteem is very low. He masks that low self esteem with an extreme grandiosity. Everything is huuuuge, and tremeeeendous. It is part of his warped world view. Let us hope it does not get us all into serious trouble. A man with such poor judgment, and such an overblown sense of self can cause big problems for the world. Wars have been started over minor insults. Let us hope somehow, that reason and common sense prevail, despite the leadership of a 13 year old boy, in a 70 year old man's body.

He is obviously an independent with differing views to the Republican party who believe in free trade. The Democrats are going to tear a page from the Republican play-book by being obstructive. If he can't get his own party on board with his protectionist policies, how can he make good on his words?

They do say that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. Obama was one of the few intellectual Presidents that America has had, he raised the tone in the same way that Trump will lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a turkey, walks like a turkey, gobbles like a turkey — he is a turkey. There is nothing in Donald Trump’s record, in the appointments he has made or in his disgusting inaugural speech yesterday that prompts second thoughts. The new president is no evil genius, he’s just tiresome, rude and silly: one of those vexatious, loud and unpleasant people we do best to avoid." ...Trumple-stiltskin.

TomJoad Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The irony of Donald Trump's legacy is that he will eventually kill a political party he's never really been a part of, or even believed in. He only won because of Putin, Comey, and 77K rust belt voters. His margin of victory in the Electoral College was so slim, that 20,000 more Americans attended the last Superbowl than put him in the White House.

On the other hand, it is a more globalist world. Unless of course you are China or Thailand, and then you have one of the most protectionist policies on the planet. You talk about globalism, but it is a one way door. Out, but not in. There has to be a balance. The US does not have the clout it had 30 years ago, on the world stage. And Chinese trade with the US is down from 60% to 22%. So, he has to be careful, and as always figure out a way to not let his hubris, arrogance, hatred, bad judgment, lack of education on the world stage, and tweets get in the way of real progress. I am hoping his presidency is able to create some real economic progress. In my opinion the economy under Obama was not nearly as good as they professed. I am not a supporter of Trump. But, I am hoping some good things come out of this, and Hillary definitely was not the answer to what the US needed. Maybe Bernie. Maybe. But, the DNC treated him like a sewer rat, and got what they deserved. Alot of egg on the face. Time for reform. Your right,a lot of so called democratic countries need huge political reform,mine included,Australia.Too much has been slanted to the top end of town with Trump being no different.Don't ever listen what a pollie says,see what they write down in law.

727Sky Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 At no time after the first two years did Obama ever achieve a majority in congress or the Senate... The voters made sure he was unable to make some of his programs into law. Thus he decided he had a pen and knew how to use it.. Executive orders were the only way he could rule which in the next few days will be resended if inappropriate for the new vision of the country.... A welcome change indeed... I hope some of the Democratic leaders raise a stink and try to block everything Trump tries to do simply because within two years Trump will have an even bigger majority in both houses.. Watching Trump on social media I would think those who think they can get CNN, NBC, et al to tell their lies for them will probably have a rude awakening... The way some of the MSN have fabricated fake news is sickening.... I swear if Trump walked on water the news headlines would be "TRUMP CAN'T SWIM!" Brilliant for calling something fake news...just what it is,, fake with no proof..no reality in fact and yet there are those whose hatred lap it up... Glad the Democrats coined the term to begin with, trying to shut down alternative media like Drudge report.. The petty bickering over a guy who wants to create jobs for Americans, get American manufacturing back upon its' feet, repair the crumbling infrastructure, stop unfair trade deals, and stop funding the militaries of NATO when the members could fund their own crap.... stop unvetted idiots who do not want to be Americans but bring their hatred and messed up violent culture from the place they fled from.. just so they can make their new home just like their cesspool of a home they must think is great.... yet chose to leave ... Yep he is horrible...especially for those who want America to remain mediocre and continue to slide down the dark abyss we have been heading since the first Bush had office.... Globalism as some has envisioned is dying.. I shall not morn its' death. I don't live in the states and maybe I shouldn't give a darn anymore.... But I do.... other than the entitlement crowd, the Americans I know just want a job, a home, and big brother nanny state government out of their lives.. You would think anyone with half a brain would applaud someone who says they are going to pull the USA back from the cliff's edge.. With the amount of (9 trillion+) Obama and his regime added to America's debt they had better start producing or or the future really does look bleak for the dollar and the country.. The same past policies were not helping and the voters knew that a vote for HRC was just more of the same with a big show down with Russia over another failed policy with regards to Syria...as if Libya and Iraq was not enough proof there were buffoons running the country and state department. There was concern for the inauguration ... Yet inspite of all the hot air and BS the left spewed there were no bombs, bullets, in view; just a simple (by US standards) swearing in ceremony... Just 217 snowflakes (snow flake is a term used pointing out those who melt or become triggered at the first sight of facts and truth their emotions do not agree with which results in the most outrageous inane verbiage spewing from their lips) 217 arrested on the outer fringe got arrested for breaking windows and trying to burn stuff..

And why would you trust a man to run your nation when he wouldn't even show you his own taxes? His son admitted during a speech a couple years ago that most of their money has been coming from Russia. As far as lies, Politafact found he lied once every 3.1 minutes during the campaign. Within a day after he was elected, he tweeted a lie that he won by a landslide and that millions of illegals voted for Hillary (without a shred of evidence for this). The man is a chronic liar.

One would have thought Bush jnr would have been a wake up call the 1st four years,but they voted him in again and got what they deserved.The American voter does not appear to learn to quickly and they have gone beyond laughable and but of jokes this time.Their whole way of life will be challenged in the next 4 years.I believe you have to reach rock bottom before reality sets in,they are not there yet but will be in 4 years time.A drovers dog put up by the democrats next time will be a dead cert.

The greatest thing to come out of the Trump/Brexit victories is that the “progressive” Left is eventually going to come to the painful realisation that it will never again be relevant until it learns to stop whining and trying to tell other people how to behave. The victimhood culture and identity politics, as exemplified by the media’s alternate sneering and hand-wringing for the last 7 months, is dead as a force. People are sick to death of it. Not just in the UK and US, either. The “progressives” have made a career out of being against everything, whether it be perceived bigotry, oppression, injustice, marginalization, and all the other words from the Leftist playbook. It no longer works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
