sad thing for the world is that he is either ignoring advice, receiving bad advice or doesn't give a flying fig about anything but what he wants.

being a premier or president is most parts diplomacy, not this bull in a china shop approach he has.

getting all the media offiside early is not a good look either.

politics of fear just got batshit crazier.

This is what Trump and his fans fail to remember.

The benefits for America, at the expense of nearly everybody else, for being involved in every corner of the world are immense.

When America used to be isolationist, it was a shithole filled with uneducated religious morons and a very rich ruling class exploiting their natural resources. Not unlike Saudi Arabia is today.

Do they really want America to return to that?
But liberty.

Hes getting advice from men who are elite, right wing Christians and alt-media moguls who purposely sit on the opposite side of the fence on every issue.

Basically, they are manipulating him and doing it easily because his own egotistical ways are easily fed by their suggestions.

Wait till the bans on teaching anything other than Christian history in schools come into effect.

Ok, his "Fake News" deceleration is now confusing me...

Thats not Fake News, thats predicting results wrong. Fake News would be saying he lost them AFTER the fact. We already know every news article thats printing that sheds even a LITTLE bit of negative reporting on Trump will instantly be labeled "FAKE NEWS. WRONG." by him...

The airlines enforce it for them.

If you're Lufthansa, Emirates, Air Canada,etc you can't thumb your nose at the policy change. You risk your landing rights in the US.
Oh I get that, but how does the airline know that Joe Bloggs is a dual citizen with Iran if he is on a US passport?

So trump is who he is. A terrible human being. Or are we still supposed to be waiting and giving him a chance?
The "wait and give him a chance" mantra was based on the proposition that he wouldn't really do all the crazy and obnoxious things he said he was going to do; in other words, that nobody could be that stupid.

Well, guess what........:eek:

Thats where Trumps new jobs will come from! Thousands of patriotic Americans on Government funded computers doing hacking of peoples backgrounds. Russia has already shown him how to do it. Protect Mother America, comrade!

The idea has merit, wanting a more peaceful and terror attack free America. However doing this will likely cause more harm than good.
How does it have merit? Most of the recent terror attacks are from US born people. Even the other day there was an article about a cheerleader who was radicalised.

This is the best way possible to incite extra hate into America. Next will be his register, where every kid who has heritage that indicates they MAY be Islamic or from an Islamic background are given numbers to identify them.

Hate breeds hate. Fear breeds fear.

The countries banned on that list have contributed an incredibly small number of terrorists. Less than 1%. if that's the aim, why no ban on Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Turkey?

Oh, hang on.

The guy has an uncontrollable ego. He can't take criticism.

That they were asked their opinion on Trump, not America is the most ominous thing there.
I can honestly say that I never imagined that the POTUS had this sort of unbridled, unchecked, unbalanced power.

It ought to be a once and for all salutary lesson to those republicans (if any) who wanted a US style system.

However we elect our eventual and inevitable president, he/she has to be subject to parliamentary control.
