No that's probably included in 'MAGA'. And name me one US president who's achieved socio-economic equality, please. Thank you and good morning.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,925
Corrects - the US has always had a bad record on this - probably a sign that we shouldn't slavishly follow their methods.
But, I didn't say equality.
I said not making it worse.
At this stage in his presidency he is already the most unpopular president since the 1950's
It was Bill Clinton but now Trump just trumped him
He tries to run a country like a business- which is nuts
Especially as he is such a poor businessman that six of his companies had to file for bankruptcy
I do find the future very frightening. If Trump is going to encourage Putin there'll be in stopping him. He'll go from reclaiming one ex-Soviet republic to the next and then he'll try throughout the rest of Europe.
Yep
I wonder if those on here who wanted Trump to win because it would be "funny" will find it all so amusing then...
Trump is clearly less interested in peace than ensuring Russia wins. He clearly has no interest in the 'special relationship' either. So much for him supposedly being pro-British!
By winning you mean taking all of Ukraine? He'll be waiting a long time then as they've only managed to take 11% of Ukraine territory in 3 years. Europe will still keep funding Ukraine's war effort even if Trump pulls the plug on theirs. Russia's economy is already buckling from Western sanctions and bank account freezes, so where will they find the money to fund another 25 years worth of war? unless they go nuclear, then everyone dies.
It's very likely now a deal is going to be made which probably allows Russia to keep at least what they've gained with a number of security measures from the US in exchange for a new commercial partnership with both countries I'd have thought. Could be wrong.
And he is definitely pro British, the trouble right now is, we a have a sap as PM who wants a closer relationship with the EU than the US, which is insanity now we've left. 🥜🥜🥜
The EU are our biggest trading partners, so it makes sense to have close relations with them, especially now there's an untrustworthy, unstable man-child in the White House.
True.
There is a delicious irony in the fact that Trump - the hero of the Brexiteer Right - is probably doing more to bring the UK back into the heart of Europe than any of us Remainers' campaigning.
The EU is a racket, most of their economies are failing and both economically and socially they are being ripped apart by their own insane policies on free movement and uncontrolled mass immigration. The end is nigh for the naive eu. Good riddance to it. We can then go on trading as individual nations like we once happily did. And currently USA is our biggest single country trading partner by a long way.

No it makes zero sense to go back with an organisation that crippled us to the point we left it. There will be no harmony from them as long as Macron Bonaparte is leader as most of what we trade has to come through France and they are like 50 million little Trumps wanting to make life hard for us. 👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻

The EU doesn't want to put 25% tariffs on all products imported from the UK - Trump does
This is going to hit our economy to the tune of BILLIONS
YOU are the one who is clearly nuts if you think we should be crawling on our hands and knees to that idiot
You are completely wrong. He wants a free trade deal with the UK, but Starmer is jeopardising it with closer ties to the EU we've already left.

He doesn't want us closer to the EU because their - and currently, our - food standards wouldn't let his shit with 100 miles of our borders.
But food is going to remain a very limited export from the US especially if you are talking about meat, although fruit such as oranges from Florida could easily replace our Spanish bought produce without breaching any food safety rules. But we could increase their alcohol and soft drinks exports significantly. Most trade with them will remain very heavily non food.
Or we could tell this gangster to f**k off
Trump wants America isolated from everyone else- cut ties with Europe and probably NATO if he gets his way
Let him- f**k the special relationship and f**k making any deals with the rapist Russian sympathising Nazi dickhead and his white supremacist cronies
