Donald trump agrees that there was Russian interference in the election, but he says it did not influence the outcome of the election.

No influence on the outcome because he says so !jk! IMO he has exposed his Mr Smart Mouth immaturity.

Of course he likes Brexit! Divide and conquer!. You are playing straight into his plan. You are America's competitor in most things, btw and he probably doesn't give two hoots about whatever you think that you bring to the table

Brexit was never about the US ....it was homeland considerations, underestimated by the elite in governance....but very widely felt.

The sense of unfairness, estrangement, overcrowding, lawlessness and cultural dilution.

I think immigrants themselves are partly to blame when they haven't integrated, naturalised, learned the language or they get involved in criminal activity because they don't have a stake in the country.
Seems to me that there are similar feelings in the US with illegal hispanic immigrants.......Doesn't mean the population is inherently racist, it means that people's lives are being affected... (and they are not being listened to.
How did it ever get to this.. is the question which needs to be asked.....How has a government failed so spectacularly to meet the needs of its own citizens?

Any Politician who says he/she is going to put their own people first (in a climate as above) is going to be hugely popular.....where the alternative is more of the same.

Our Prime Minister is not friends with Trump. She is making the most of a hand she neither voted for, nor wanted....The first meeting looked like she was dancing on eggshells.
(Kudos to her really.....I can't imagine her political rival in that role)
We already do a lot of trade with the US...Now the hope is the tariffs could come down a bit or a mutually beneficial trade agreement could be reached....but one thing we aren't... is stupid.

That worked ta, but I'm not sure of the point you're making esp as the clip is dated Oct 2015. How does it relate to the 'Luvvies' saying they would give accommodation to 'refugees' ?
I'm a descendant of four sets of refugees. They came to the New World a LONG time ago, mind you and they were all ridiculously white.Two of those four groups had to escape to stay alive and this is where they found peace and prosperity. Refugees are the foundation of English Canada and of parts of the United States, as well. Trump is turning off the tap from certain countries citing the "terrorist threat" that they pose, even though no terrorist attacks have originated from any of the "bad guy list" countries. The 9/11 hijackers, however came form Saudi Arabia, mostly, The united Arab Emirates, next plus one Egyptian, one Lebanese. The Saudis, the Emirates ... not on the list, nor is Chechnya from whence the Boston Marathon bombers came from.

The Americans are buying the bullshyte but it's all Orwellian propaganda. You want to make America safe? Take their half billion frikkin' guns away , stupid!
Here is a link to the world population clock showing its growth in numbers in real time.

http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

Any country that restricts immigration to suit its own needs is acting wisely IMO no matter how anyone sees it.
We in Britain already have too many people with an ever increasing birthrate,just as India and china does. Trump is anticipating the future for both the culture and numbers . The economy is not the prime major problem for the future, sheer numbers of people is.
Brexit is a consequence of that realisation.

If Trump is concerned about over population why has he restricted aid to agencies that give advice on abortions?

This is ideological pure and simple, just like the restrictions on refugees from Muslim countries. He claims its to make Americans safer, but if that's his objective why has he done nothing about gun control, the number of Americans killed by guns rvery every year dwarfs that of those killed by Islamic terrorism.

We restrict the rate of immigration to this country (just try and emmigrate, here ... even from Britain) and at the rate that we're going, we will reach an uncomfortable threshold in about three centuries.

Trump has not restricted immigration from the Arab countries from whence the historic threat to the US has come from, anyway. Why not the Saudis? Well, surprise, surprise! The new Secretary of State was the CEO of Exxon and we mustn't upset the yuge and rich House of Faud, must we? Why not the United Arab Emirates? Are you kidding!! There's a Trump Tower in the UAE! Why not Chechnya? Well, that's part of Russia and they are our friends, now.

Trump has drained the swamp of its alligators and made plenty of room for the crocodiles to move in.

Note that Donald Fart has today signed an 'executive order for the building of the Mexican Wall' and that Mexico is going to pay for it!

What delusions does this idiot have? There is a lesser chance of Mexico paying for it than seeing god!
But he is building the wall. Do you remember those that said it wouldn't happen?
Saying that he will build that silly fucking wall and doing it in reality are two completely different things!
I think he must..he has promised the American people and vowed that Mexico will pay for it...

In a way I support his immigration stance but he's gone about it the wrong way

He should just say no one will be admitted to the USA without extensive self funded vetting if they hold citizenship of a country that refuses to affirm the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

That'd be a whole stack of Islamic regimes then. At the least:Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, the Comoros, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Arab Emirates, Gabon, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, the Kyrgyz Republic, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Qatar, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Suriname, Syria, Tajikistan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Yemen, and Djibouti.

And neither should we so admit

This is interesting

Trump's Executive order on Immigration

Because as I've said before, I will defend my worst enemy against false accusation (and anyway he's not my worst enemy) and nowhere in that order does he actually victimise muslims by name. Nowhere are they or indded is any specific religion mentioned.

Trump would probably just as easily single out Jews, instead but it's already been done to death and that would certainly damage his brand. Muslims are often unloved and therefore are a much safer and better quality scapegoat. You've got to wonder, though, if Trump ever fantasized about watching Michael Bloomberg crackling away in a creamatorium oven.

Wrong !

The Americans are deliberately keptin a state of anxiety by their rulers and military, which is precisely why they should NEVER be allowed to own guns privately, except in the service of their country.

Of course at that point, homicide with guns will virtually evaporate but death from knives, baseball bats, lumps of concrete, home made bombs, gasoline, poison and a host of others will merely replace those.

Take away the oil from the ME muslim dominated countries and what else is there left to offer to the world?

IMO, they are content to herd goats and sit in the casbahs smoking their weird pipes and chat to each other about nothing much really and that, to me is why they just love to come to the west and be molly coddled by the welfare and benefits systems that must seem like heaven to them, of course, their women do not have a say in the matter, they even have to walk behind the man that they may well have been forced to marry.

I just wish that those with that mindset would stay there whilst the rest of the world evolves and moves on at an ever greater pace.

Trump would probably just as easily single out Jews, instead but it's already been done to death and that would certainly damage his brand. Muslims are often unloved and therefore are a much safer and better quality scapegoat. You've got to wonder, though, if Trump ever fantasized about watching Michael Bloomberg crackling away in a creamatorium oven.
Take away the oil from the ME muslim dominated countries and what else is there left to offer to the world?

IMO, they are content to herd goats and sit in the casbahs smoking their weird pipes and chat to each other about nothing much really and that, to me is why they just love to come to the west and be molly coddled by the welfare and benefits systems that must seem like heaven to them, of course, their women do not have a say in the matter, they even have to walk behind the man that they may well have been forced to marry.

I just wish that those with that mindset would stay there whilst the rest of the world evolves and moves on at an ever greater pace.
We see none of that among the Arab immigrants, here. We even have a Syrian refugee family down the street.They are a nice , young couple with two very young children. There hasn't been a peep out of the refugees that we've taken in. One of the ground rules was that no single men were allowed in, so that they are all nuclear families. That adds a great deal to their stability. The Muslims have kept their heads down, in Canada.

I'm horrified by sitting on the banks of the St. Clair River in Windsor, Ontario every night and listening to the sound of gunfire wafting across from Detroit.

Savages.

The Americans are savages.


Wrong !

The Americans are deliberately keptin a state of anxiety by their rulers and military, which is precisely why they should NEVER be allowed to own guns privately, except in the service of their country.

Of course at that point, homicide with guns will virtually evaporate but death from knives, baseball bats, lumps of concrete, home made bombs, gasoline, poison and a host of others will merely replace those.
Enough of them are desparate, angry hillbillies that they have elected a fascist leader, simply because they are angry and desparate.

Up here, to the North of them, the vast majority are horrified and frightened of what the US is becoming.

Listen to the Canadian! He has a ringside seat.

Perhaps a critical mass has been reached in the US and UK where the vast differences between rich and poor has bred social division and mistrust? Lets face it you lot keep banging on about so called free trade without really understanding it's core principles, ie we all compete in the same environment. You don't really want that do you? Because there are people from other places who are brighter and harder working than you and the millions of others who have been left behind.

Again it is no accident the worm turned first in the UK and US, but the problem is intractable unless the masses can get better educations and break the glass ceilings currently in place.

Don't whine if you can't be arsed to make the effort though, no one owes you a living in the World you helped to create....

Trump wants to negotiate trade deals with the shattered remains of once-great trade blocks, so that the United States is overwhealming the most powerful and most leveraged party in any negotiation..Trump wants the EU smashed like a bowl of eggs. He loves Brexit because now, he has you over a barrel. He wants to tear up NAFTA, turn Mexico and Canada into supplicants. He has already left the TPP is so that he can negotiate with each, much weaker party individually. The "flavour" in Europe is bound to be bitter. You are a part of Europe and you have nothing to sell to the Americans that they don't do themselves ... sometimes better than you do. What are you going to trade to them? Automobiles? Sure, you are. Fighter planes? Commercial aircraft? Space craft? Are you delusional? Steel? (Ah-ha ha-ha-ha- ha!) Food? Hunh? Electronics? Paleeze! Textiles? ummmm...., no. Weapons? That's what they do best of all.

Divide and conquer. Your Brexit is much appreciated.

They make better caravans that drive on the proper side of the road. The Scots make better whiskey, although Bourbon is pretty good. Your pottery is famous. Your chocolate is great but if it contains any beef products (milk?) it will be seized to protect American agriculture. You used to export a lot of Rock Music but you closed that mine down, too.

What he spouts off about and what he can actually do... are two different things. Its a democracy not a dictatorship.
There may already be laws in place to prevent some of his more fanciful ideas....and congress... of course.
or ......some of his ideas may already be in place, under Obama... and he is just taking the credit.
He is trying to do too much..too quickly..
And he is not doing it alone. Others must be co-operating with him and advising him. and they must believe that what he is signing is doable, for as he has chosen them into positions of influence and power they wish to retain it.

Haven't see too many resignations yet from their chosen course.

Apparently Trump is "a clueless child"

Watching media I have never thought of him as being clueless, but he is impulsive and speaks before really thinking. He also appears to have a limited vocabulary, and speaks in simple terms, which appeals to Joe public, some of whom consider him to be just like them.

However Trumps advisers think that they need to keep a close rein on him...

Look how Trump reacts to any kind of criticism, he's the biggest snowflake of them all.

Meanwhile his immigration ban has lost its first legal battle and been partially overturned.

The Americans manufacture each and every item on your list and it has been plainly stated that American jobs come first. You are meant to be a market, not a supplier.
