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.

When the "man in the street" can be bothered to get beyond his own personal needs and biased opinions and looks at the practicalities of running a country, then the shifting sands of popular opinion will not override logical debate. Trump did a job on the American electorate by staying on the emotional side of politics, offering simplistic answers and insinuating that only he could deliver because everyone else just lied and deceived. I had him pinned down before the election, that his approach appealed to the conspiracy minded who are themselves emotionally led people. |

You don't, but his supporters do? Do you not understand how arrogant that is and how insulting that remark is to the 65 million American people who voted for him? When we start thinking on those terms, doesn't it say more about us than them, and shows an extreme intolerance of those with a different POV to our own? Ignoring Trump or Brexit issues isn't there something wrong with ourselves when we resort to such thinking to put down our political opponents?, Isn't t an entirely emotional response, not one of reason? I'm sure that those supporting Trump will be equally aware when he lies, or rather is economical with the truth, or doesn't lie at all because he actually believes what he says, but is it as important to them as it is for his enemies, if in the end they achieve their aims? Perhaps with your psychological knowledge you can explain the rationale of your claims, for like the claims made that those voted for Brexit are stupid, ill informed or were deceived, it is just self serving nonsense. |

I have to ask again. If what you say is true, why is it that your not influenced by the same things you claim other people are? If here is an average of intelligence, and all are open to the same information that is available, why is it that only those with different views to our own cannot see the truth or are misinformed. ? Am I missing something here? |

Yes You make the mistake of assuming everyone has the same average intelligence, the same average honesty, the same average degree of believing in fairness and the same average degree of tolerance to others. Take a normal distribution across each of those variables, stir in some cynical misinformation and it's not exactly that hard to build a winning position is it. |

I understood that average was the mean, the default position. that being an IQ of 100. "Different test publishers utilize different scoring systems, for many modern IQ tests the average (or mean) score is set at 100 with a standard deviation of 15 so that scores conform to a normal distribution curve. 68 percent of scores fall within one standard deviation of the mean (that is, between 85 and 115) 95 percent of scores fall within the two " My own score has been rated at 1*6 the second number from 2-4 |

Then why didn't the remain side build, it when things were in their favour? They had the big guns on their side, including the President of the USA. {voted in by the same " stupid2 people that voted Trump in} and they had the status quo to rely on? |

Because the Remain campaign was a complete Horlicks hamstrung by Cameron's incompetence and putting party unity above what he was affecting to campaign for. PS IQ of 100 is the median figure not the mean. |

And a vast increase in military spending as well, as if the US wasn't already armed to the back teeth. RT could barely contain itself today after all the Trump praise in the proceeding weeks! |

Apparently, Obama had already okayed a $36 billion increase to the military budget, so Trump's big build-up is a whole $18 billion more, which is enough to buy one (1) squadron of the "pimped ride" variant of the F-35 Wild Turkey. |

His original comments on NATO might have had people thinking he would be cutting funding in armament. But then he changed his tune, that could prove to be one of his traits revealed as time goes on. |

Partial Victory ------------- Those of us who dont want Trump to be afforded a state visit may have secured a partial victory, a couple of newspapers are reporting this morning that Trump has "postponed the state visit until the autumn", and apparently this is to avoid demonstrations. Personally I reckon that this could well be on advice from the CIA Its good to know that public feeling can make a difference, and with a bit more effort perhaps the entire visit might get cancelled - Hooray |

It's endemic in the USA where the world's most frightened population are allowed, even encouraged, to own guns, not just handguns, but assault weapons. This bonehead might just as easily have killed a couple of black people for no reason. |

So Trump has gone very quiet about his perjuring Attorney General who thinks it's just fine to lie on oath " when all along he knew he'd been meeting the Russian Ambassador It is just possible for Sessions to say he was mind numbingly stupid and doesn't understand plain English but more like he was plain stupid and hoped the media wouldn't uncover his meetings Either way an honest president would have sacked him by now. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/mar/02/context-what-jeff-sessions-told-al-franken-about-m/ |

IMO, he will not be allowed to be the completely immature mouthy fool that seems to come so naturally to him. Give him criticism where its due, and he's earned plenty of that. Give him credit where it is due, although we might have to wait some time for that. |
