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 IMO he has exposed his Mr Smart Mouth immaturity.

The latest dribblings from this would be despot who clearly doesn't understand the Constitution he so recently swore to defend. Well to be fair the constitution does run to over 140 characters seeing as how the founding fathers knew a bit about justice

He is doing away with the myth of man made climate change.Those fookers have milked it for years. You carry on believing the Al Gore story I don't think the American beltway give two flying fooks for climate change,do you ? Hardly think it is yop of the agenda.BTW 65+ million think the same. |

The eminent domain, Trump is using to build the pipeline is for the good of the nation and gives workers jobs. BTW just look at the below link.Your beloved Obama wasn't averse to it http://www.dailywire.com/news/11984/obama-just-grabbed-millions-acres-land-utah-nevada-aaron-bandler |

There's only a finite level of mod resource here so the report button is a way of focussing it. Surely it's better a poster uses the report button for something they see as wrong than to whine on and on and on etc about supposed rule breaks. Maybe I should have summarised my post as: Put up or shut up? |

What's wrong with guesswork, there was plenty of it on both sides during the Brexit debate, still is. And 68 million people disagree with Trump. |

But you have not discounted the dead and the illegals in that figure. If you think they were not on the electoral role,think again Trump has 65 million with BIG BIG guns,and they don't fook about |

Its not your task alone , good manners and behaviour has to be a consensual decision, something I understood we sign up to on joining the board. Good manners cost nothing and can be spiritually uplifting , whist bad manners reflect badly on ones upbringing. Put up or shut up I will not but I will continue to stand up to be counted. |

You've bought up allegations of voter fraud before but despite being asked repeatedly you have failed to produce any evidence. If you fail again I shall take it as an admission on your part that you have conceded the point. |

Sometimes it is right to declare war on a law, a piece of legislation, or a new rule enacted into law by government, and as a very good example I recall my days as chairman of our local Anti Poll Tax campaign, one of many up and down the country. The Tory government was democratically elected under our dodgy electoral system in 1987, whereby the Conservatives had the support of 42% of the electorate, yet had a majority over other parties of over 100. To me, and to millions of other people it did not matter that the Thatcher government had been democratically elected, as far as we were concerned the Poll Tax has unacceptable, unfair and unjust, and we were out to bring about its demise, and we won, but not only did we win, we also brought down Thatcher. Now Mr Trump may have been elected by the American people under their own particular dodgy system ( Trump 62,985,105 - Clinton 65,853,625 ), but I basically could not care less, and neither can millions of Americans and millions of other people across the world, his discrimination of the entire population of 7 nations is unjustified and wrong, and the millions who oppose this policy feel empowered by the fact that most world leaders agree. I am afraid that Mr Trump and his policy of discrimination will be opposed and challenged, and wherever he goes, hundreds of thousands of protesters will follow him. The logic of barring every citizen of Iraq because it is a Muslim majority country, and therefore could enable the entry into the United States of an Islamic extremist is absurd. We may as well bar all citizens of the Vatican City in case our children are sexually abused, or bar people from tropical countries for danger of importing tropical deseases. Many of the vast majority of Muslims in this world who are not extremists, not terrorists, will be angered at Donald Trumps policy, most Muslims in the world see the harming of innocent people as been totally against Islam, but feelings will undoubtablly harden against America, and I am convinced that the United States is today a far more vulnerable and dangerous place than it was two months ago. |

The beltway are a minority. The generally anti-science direction implied by putting a guy in charge of University education that believes the world is 6000 years old and that we co-existed with dinosaurs sure isn't going to make America great, ever. Drumpf, of course, wants to make America great again but this anti-science bent will have the opposite effect and America will fall further and further behind, especially behind Asia. |

You probably receive a superior education to that which most children in the United States received. Their students score very low by world standards and they fall a little more, every year. http://www.businessinsider.com/pisa-worldwide-ranking-of-math-science-reading-skills-2016-12 ...and Trump is going to make America great again by dumbing down their education system even further ...

How can you claim that our voting system is "dodgy" when the members of the house were given a free vote on whether or not they wished to change it to something else such as the alternative vote......the members voted to stick with FPTP. Now that to me, is acting democratically. If I am wrong here then please correct me. |

Would hardly call myself university age. When I was at Uni my professors were not political. Besides these morons have to go into the wide world one day to WORK,and doing courses on racial diversity,LGBT ethics,will only get them jobs in McDonalds.They are going to be extremely disappointed when the cotton wool falls of and they realise they just wasted 4 yrs of their life and 1000s £/$ in debt for a totally worthless qualification.They should do what I and thousands of others done Engineering degrees,or better still apprenticeships. In fact the government should wipe all these PC left wing facist courses into the eternal pits of hell.They are being indoctrinated by a bunch of arseholes I would never let near a university,let alone teach in one. You and your ILK are the problem,because you defend these fookin morons.Instead of telling them NO, they are throwing their life down the swanee |

Okay, I accept your somewhat sarcastic reply to the other poster....but the bottom line is what is your alternative to a democratically elected president of the most powerful nation on the planet?................are you happy with young Troudeau? would you like the rest of the world to criticise YOUR voting methodology? Cool down brother and let's see what transpires.

I didn't vote Liberal but all-in-all Trudeau is doing a pretty good job. He sure as hell isn't a demagogue like Trump. He's generally improved Canada's "brand" at the same time that Trump is leaving that of his own country in tatters. They don't compare, really. Apples and Oranges. Popular and not so popular. |

We are getting there slowly but surely. The attacks on Trump are mainly hot air, and because they don't like right wing politics. The conclusion by sensible pragmatic posters is that he was elected by the American people to primarily serve the USA, and they really have to wait and see what he does and how his policies work out, for there is little or nothing they can do about it. As with Brexit , the realisation will be that he is here for the future unless somethin unforeseen happens, and they will have exhausted themselves and their arguments. Then like Brexit we can discus his policies and their merits or otherwise as they are put into practice. As the President he has surrounded himself with people HE can trust and he will listen to them, not us. |
