The celebrities on the other hand are complaining about anything he does, yet have no alternative solution, they offer nothing, they could enter politics and offer solutions to these so called problems, yet they don't? The best part I personally loved about the celebrity "uprising" against Donald Trump was the part when a number of them threatened, no, PROMISED to move to Canada if Donald Trump was elected, but why Canada? Why not Mexico? What's wrong with Mexico? Why would they move to Canada which is a majority white / anglo-saxon country, aren't these celebrities being a touch racist?

Well if the news is right he has signed an executive order to build the wall. Catch is America will pay for it initially and Mexico will pay later if that is to be believed.

Trump supporters never virtue signalled their intent to go anywhere, unlike the loud pharisaic proclamations of many so called celebrities...

America gives Mexico monetary aid every year ! This was around 430 Million dollars in 2013 total, of which around 50 million was cash. Not sure of the past year, but bottom line is, the US only has to stop this aid for the next 4 years to help pay for the wall ( and renewed on ground security ). The US gave 37 BILLION ( not million ) in foreign aid in the year 2013. Cutting most of this out and putting that to infrastructure / Jobs / wall / etc will go a long way. Add 8 Billion that they contribute to running the UN every year, and they are looking good. ( if Congress pulls this plug ). If someone owes you money, why would anyone give them more ? That is something only the previous administration would do !

Israel (3.1B), Egypt (1.46B) and Afganistan(1.25B). Mexico is way down the list. Should the aid to these countries be cut? The idea of aid is to buy influence and goodwill. You remove this and you remove the goodwill and influence. The bulk of the money to Mexico is based on improving democracy. You take that away and you potentially have a country next door that has issues... and those issues are exported to you. So when the FBI may want assistance from Mexico they will potentially get told to f off. Same with the UN. I suppose Hannity and co hate them... Just think about the work they do like peace keeping and humanitarian efforts. If this isn't done then the problem spreads into other countries.

One of the better basic and simplistic ensemble of words on the matter:
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/01...d-this-happen/ Trump! How did this happen? Brendan O'Neill It happened because you banned super-size sodas. And smoking in parks. And offensive ideas on campus. Because you branded people who oppose gay marriage ‘homophobic’, and people unsure about immigration ‘racist’. Because you treated owning a gun and never having eaten quinoa as signifiers of fascism. Because you thought correcting people’s attitudes was more important than finding them jobs. Because you turned ‘white man’ from a description into an insult. Because you used slurs like ‘denier’ and ‘dangerous’ against anyone who doesn’t share your eco-pieties. AdTech Ad Because you treated dissent as hate speech and criticism of Obama as extremism. Because you talked more about gender-neutral toilets than about home repossessions. Because you beatified Caitlyn Jenner. Because you policed people’s language, rubbished their parenting skills, took the **** out of their beliefs. Because you cried when someone mocked the Koran but laughed when they mocked the Bible. Because you said criticising Islam is Islamophobia. Because you kept telling people, ‘You can’t think that, you can’t say that, you can’t do that.’ Because you turned politics from something done by and for people to something done to them, for their own good. Because you treated people like trash. And people don’t like being treated like trash. Trump happened because of you.

I saw trumpy ranting about electoral fraud and how there were people enrolled in multiple states and they all voted for Hillary.
Seems serious. I sure hope none of trumps siblings or close advisors were enrolled in 2 states. That would be embarrassing.

Oh, I remember it quite clearly.
Difference being is that Obama's lack of spine and inaction was the order of the day. When your own Congress is working against you, just about all scrutiny has some validity. Trump on the other hand, time will tell. |

My post number 639 does not need any reinforcement about far left wing ideology mental disorder, but this is too much to ignore.
get a load of this ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tYVrFDxcDY If Hilary Clinton won, she may have appointed this maniac to some position of power.

On a balanced note.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpe-2Yi6ZuE This is the first time I have heard the truth ( what informed people knew ) about Obama funding terrorist groups over the past 4 years. This is being said by a sitting Democrat from Hawaii. Tulsi Gabbard is her name and I think we will hear more of her. She is the only "normal" Democrat I have actualy listed too in the past decade ! She speaks well, and not down to people. If I were to take a wild punt ( like backing the Western Buldogs in July last year ), she could be a contender in the Democrat primaries in 4 years time.

President Donald Trump Hannity FULL Interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgonptSjqWI His talk on the wall/ramp made me laugh. He fries the media too. Havn't watched it all yet. Some scumbag comedian attacked his 10 year-old son via social media again - that's 3 people now. These weak pathetic people have no limits. |

So what do all you Truump supporters want for Australia?
Given that you can't vote in US elections, how are you going to "progress" you views in the current Aussie political environment? What is it you want to achieve and how? Cheers, Will

Future leadership lessons for our now loony lollies.
If our pollies are to be taken seriously, take heed what's happening it the US. Stop being frightened little bugs in an overwhelming spotlight, take charge of true democracy and show true leadership. Kow-towing to minorities gets us all nowhere. |

It's a beautiful thing.
Trump was elected because the average person got sick of being screamed at by the 'progressive' left and the more Trump and his supporters were attacked the more popular he got. And now he's been elected Trump and his supporters are being screamed at even louder. If I could be bothered I'd upload the picture of Michael Jackson eating popcorn because it really is great to watch. Heaven forbid we try to understand why people are so disaffected with mainstream politics (they know why, but knowing is far different to understanding) and then try and take them along for the ride. No, let's try to scream and shout at them till they submit. Been working a treat so far. |

Ok, that's great. What specifically about him do you like. What policies did you like and why do you like them? I am having a lot of trouble understanding people's reason for liking his policies. He has said a lot of things and it's hard to pin people down. You seem to hate "progressives". Which policies of theirs don't you like ? Are you in favour of repealing the ACA (obama care)? That seems to be a big one amongst Trump supporters?
