Play Nice 45th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 3

[Royces Hart]

On Trump's shithole countries list? This is the punishment for kids arriving late to class at a school in Ghana.

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

In Trump's shithole country list?

 

[JeffDunne]

Very misleading, as the poor may not directly trade stocks but they depend on a strong market for their super funds, job opportunities etc. A good economic indicator, meaning consumers have confidence to spend and invest!

Why do you just parrot the meaningless drivel spun by conservative talking heads?

Im glad you'd allow young African males to come to a country like ours with better systems of governance

Yes, California is also a shithole.

 

[JeffDunne]

"evolving", "very, very flexible" - i.e. he'll sign anything the establishment can get in front of him.

No wall just more fence.
Mexico won't pay for it.

During the campaign said things where he "may or may not be fully informed".

Delusional Trump supporters (is there any other type) are still chanting "build the wall" & rambling nonsensically about "Mexico" while the toddler-in-chief continues to morph into an establishment republican.

Trumps wall.....

Democrats in 2016...If Trump
is elected the economy will be destroyed.

Democrats today...Obama is responsible for the strengthening economy.

Do they listen to themselves talk?

 

[Ratts of Tobruk]

No, Democrats do not listen to 'themselves talk' inside your imagination. You're the only one hearing those voices.

Well, now that collusion with Russia is proving to be a total hoax and the only collusion is with Hillary Clinton and the FBI/Russia, the Fake News Media (Mainstream) and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try winning an election. Sad!

Number 5 wasn't a WaPo report, it was a tweet reaction from a WaPo reporter, which didn't pass comment but reacted to the claim an event was "packed to the rafters". He deleted it when it was pointed out the pictures he'd seen were of it filling up. A non-issue. But of course Trump is still obsessed about crowd numbers (since his numbers were so far short of his arch nemesis, Barry Obama), and therefore it makes the top 5 when it shouldn't be there at all.

Number 8 too is weak too given it did indeed look like a deliberate snub by the Polish 1st Lady. Not fake news, but the video was a bit misleading because she later shook his hand, snub having been completed. The fish-feeding video is similarly about misleading editing, rather than fake news, but the impression it left made other journalists report 'fake news' by not understanding Abe did it first. CNN just said Trump dumped the fish food in, which he did, making Abe laugh as he did it. Weird that they used the zoom-in though. Misleading, and deliberate. Number 9 is a much weaker attack seeing as CNN's title only claimed "sources" were telling them what Comey would say. The strap doesn't say it's a fact. For all we know they were deliberately given wrong information by White House sources.

I guess it wasn't a countdown beyond 4, so maybe they thought making number 10 stronger would give the illusion that 5, 8 and 9 were more substantial.

Number 11 not a thing, hence no evidence to back it.

Many of those people who made errors were held accountable. President trump has made far more errors without any immediate consequences.

 

[Ratts of Tobruk]

Trumps wall.....

I direct response to Kelly's comments on Fox? More in-fighting in the White House. Kelly's kept the discipline far better than the mugs running around early days. "I know the best people..."

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Very misleading, as the poor may not directly trade stocks but they depend on a strong market for their super funds, job opportunities etc. A good economic indicator, meaning consumers have confidence to spend and invest!

Not really, things are different in the usa to here

Roughly half of americans own stock, and this includes the less than one third of americans who have a 401k

People bag keating, but his work on compulsory super was genius compared to the us system

 

[Seeds]

When Trump talks up the stock market as an indicator of how well America is doing, its best to remind him and his supporters of this:

http://time.com/money/5054009/stock-ownership-10-percent-richest/

84% of stocks are owned by the top 10%. The bottom 50% own just 0.5% of stocks.

The Republicans used to poo poo the stock market gains under Obama as not being indicative of the wealth of the middle class/poor. They were right.

Trump is essentially just spruiking the increased wealth of the richest 10%. He is clearly only interested in helping the wealthy.

everyones super is in stocks. higher stock prices result in cheaper investment and more investment means more jobs. Dont distort the impact. There is so much actual bad stuff Trump is doing we dont need to fake additional stuff.

A rising stock market is good for everyone even if the gains arent equal.

This rising stock market, however, is a one time sugar hit though driven by large tax cuts. Tax cuts cant keep the stock market surging forever. Any idiot can boost the stock market temporarily through tax cuts. How will they pay for those tax cuts? Reduced government services or rising debt. Both will be bad for the economy and the stock market in the future.

Well in fairness, they were already free to do what they wanted.

The protection of press freedoms by Western governments has been eroding ever since Bush the younger got voted in & continued during the Obama years.

Protection of the press is now only lip service. Trump's just beating an already dead horse.

if you think what we have now is only lip service then you have no idea how bad it can get. the press is one of the only things that stop dictatorships forming. The world over the past forty years has been on a trend away from dictatorships towards democracy. That may go in reverse now.

 

[Seeds]

Starved of funds? pigs arse! With the salaries of Faine, Sales, and the rest could be directed elsewhere The ABC gets $1 billion p.a. year from taxpayers.

sales salary is ridiculously low. it should be five times higher. soemthing is seriously wrong when morons like lisa wilkinson gets paid 5 times what sales is paid.

 

[The_Snake]

And Lisa still cried about Karl earning more, despite him working more for Channel 9 and appearing on more programs. Unfortunately there's a lot of entitled women out there who believe they should earn as much as people who work more than them. Brainwashed by the cancer that is feminism.

Yeah because no bloke has ever thought that.

When women are paid less than men for the same job it's justified by conservatives believing women are poor negotiators & don't demand better pay.

When women demand equal pay the same conservatives call them "entitled" feminists.

Conservative males with mummy issues shouldn't be projecting that on to all women.

When was the last time Western governments had skin in the game protecting foreign journalists?

Hell, even protecting their own journo's on foreign soil?

I never said it was bad just that the benefits flow disproportionately to the top and that it doesnt indicate the real health of the economy or middle class/poor.

It's interesting how little debate/comment there is about the decline in the $US since Trump took power.

decline has been mimimal. If the rumours about anti trade policies being announced soon are true then the us dollar will start soaring.

 

[sydney eagle]

Trump will always deflect and find someone else to blame, nothing is ever HIS fault (but he always takes credit for any successes that may occur).

 

[Happy Mastenator]

One of the things that will be interesting is if the stock market starts dropping. He's agressively promoted the rise of the stock market as validation of his economic policy. While I think that the two aren't linked in the way he is pushing (would say same of any president), does mean he's making a rod for his own back if it drops. Though I'm sure he'll argue otherwise and blame someone else.

Not quite

A currency rises when people need to buy it

Fewer us imports means less demand for us dollars

Coercion through global bodies primarily led by western governments such as the Imf, world bank and global trade organisation. If you wanted favours from these bodies you had to follow, atleast partially, the examples set by western democracies. If the western governments no longer set examples, then these bodies will lose their power to coerce developing economies to follow certain standards and developing economy governments will have very little holding them back and preventing them from providing any resemblance of press freedom or rule of law.

5 years ago I would of said the world was gradually headed towards a unified set of values and ideals based around western capitalism and individual human rights. It was very gradual movement but it was happening. The populists led by Trump are undoing this and creating a very dangerous world in the process. This looks like being a major turning point in world history. Unfortunately the direction it is headed is very scary. Especially given the now widespread prevalence of nuclear weopans. Without unified global order and shared values a nuclear catastrophe becomes almost a certainty. Its just whether it happens, next year, 20 years from now or 100 years from now. It will be inevitable without global order. So will be the mass exploitation of human rights across many parts of the world. This is the world Trump is creating.
