Comparing an actor and president. This is why we are ******.
Hamill is not wrong about Trump but what about that time Hamill complained about the character he plays in Star Wars?

It's never not bewildering in this thread... :huh:

“On my first try”

Dickstain Donald ran for president in 2000 so that’s yet another lie to add to the list.
Yup. Bowed out with 7% in the polls.

Said Oprah would be his ideal running mate.

If he has no clue, how did he beat all the highly funded establishment types on both sides to become POTUS? How did he create his billions? In b4 "well his dad leant him 0.01% of his eventual wealth..."
and we're once again stuck again on he Trumpeteer roundabout:

45th President of the United States - Donald Trump (continued in Part 2)

"He only entered "the race" to boost up his next contract for his silly game show.

It was amusing to beat the bumbling fools in the Republican nomination (Cruz, Jeb, Rubio and a couple of other clowns).

Much to his horror he came up against the only Democratic nominee he could possibly beat. He doesn't want the job. If he isn't impeached he is going to completely lose his mind at some point. Hopefully for everyone's sake it is the former."

So no different to any other administration then? I agree he is lending an ear to the establishment. He is a deal maker, whereas Bannon is an idealist, hence their falling out. If Trump didn't negotiate with the establishment, literally nothing would get done. It's an unfortunate reality. At least he is still delivering on all his core promises!
His whole campaign was about not being beholden to the establishment and Trumpeteers continually told us that is why we should support him. That promise has clearly been broken and that was his most important promise that he needed to keep (at least you can admit it).

What makes him any different from Hillary Clinton then if he is just going to do the establishment's bidding and do deals with them (usually those deals result in screwing over the middle class/poor such as the tax bill).

1. Trump has consistently proven that he is always one step ahead. Read through the old threads, every time someone said "this is a disaster for Trump", his polls went up rather than down.

2. How do we decide which parts are true and which aren't? How do we know that even the true parts aren't presented in a completely misleading way? It has lost all credibility.
Have you watched his 8min interview on the Today show?
I showed a 10 year old, told them nothing about the background, asked them to comment on how honest they thought Wolff was and within 1min of the interview the 10 year old started laughing at just how obvious this liar was.
When he was asked if he had talked to the President ... did he confidently answer Yes? No, he stuttered and answered that question with a question.

Now I have little way of knowing whether his book has accurate details or not, but going solely on his Today interview, I'm pretty confident that this guy has less credibility than Trump. So according to Wolff himself, that must make him not of this earth, given he believes Trump has less credibility than anybody who has walked this Earth at this moment.

If Wolff's career struggles after this book, at least he can come and troll this BF Thread. He'll be very popular with his anti-Trump comments, especially with the subjective spin he puts on them.

The US aren't appointing diplomats to foreign postings and are filling positions as political repayment junkets.

Most of their closest allies don't want the president to visit.

Every geopolitical battle the USA are involved in they are losing. No support for their trade "policies", no support for their punitive actions in support of Israel, no support for their energy or global warming positions . . . on just about every issue they are isolated in their support. Cowards like our government will shirk criticism but we aint rushing out in support either (nor do we have an ambassador to call)
Sorry, you've missed my meaning. Where has international policy changed from when the US had someone competent in charge? Climate change policy is much the same. The main thing that changed is America withdrawing from the TPP, so that's obviously the US still having influence, but additionally plenty of countries are still going ahead with a new agreement. I think the US may have hinted at altering energy policy, but again, that's due to Trump-Russia. So I'm not seeing much evidence for your claim.

The idea that all these countries are in thrall to the US is a lie. The USA, especially under the Republicans, have many 'priorities' that aren't supported. You mention Israel? Ever looked at how UN votes go on Israel? It's often just the US and Israel. Maybe a few times countries like Australia have joined for reasons you could call sycophancy. Is that what you're actually trying to say here? You are focussed primarily on Israel when talking about global affairs?

The other major issue that you might be thinking of would be the China v USA approach to regional politics, but then you go and say "The Chinese influence in our politics is negligent". So presumably you think there is little change politically in that arena.

EDIT: Just saw your follow-up post, particularly your comment on China. I don't think you're across geopolitics well at all.

For the purposes of validating your highly scientific experiment, I need to know, was the 10 year old Donald Trump?

The poster in question prides oneself on one's self-proclaimed "logic" and denounces/counters every viewpoint or observation that derides one's hero with one's pathetic catch-phrases.

Then produces that tripe to defend one's hero. :D:D:D

Again I'd ask, "and"?

Most of the countries in that list are hardly saints in regards to recognising sovereign fishing rights. China is no more aggressive than most of those countries in that regard.

Sure the South China Sea is important to international trade. No more so though than it is to China. Other regional powers who also depend critically on trade through the South China Sea like Japan are embracing China's One Belt, One Road policy. What do you know that they don't?


Hyperbolic.


It is if they are there only to protect your economic interests.

Is there any evidence this isn't the case?
There is a certain irony in the fact that the USA has a military base in just about every second country on Earth yet the Chinese are aggressors because they are building a few islands off their own coast line :rolleyes:

You understand irony about as well as Jeff. I may as well counter that China is "aggressive" because there are 'Chinatowns' all over the world. Stupid, of course.

Welcome back Maggie. Hope all is going well on your end! I'll check the video when I get home. Carn a pies.
and we're once again stuck again on he Trumpeteer roundabout:
So because you deem these people to be "clowns", he doesn't get any credit for becoming ruler of the free world "without trying"? He took down the Bush and Clinton families ffs! It takes a genius to beat these people at their own game.

The lefties here have no intention of accepting the results of the election, and this fictional book gives them another "THIS will be the end of Drumpf" dopamine hit, which they have come to require on a weekly basis. Hopefully by his 8th year they have accepted democracy (as we did with Barry) and the discussions are better!

Lol relying on a 10 year old assessment, sounds like a logical and creditable assessment. o_O

Just ******* LOL

:D thanks for the Sunday morning laugh, Larry.

They are clowns, Larry (is that debatable?), and where does the "without trying" come from?

How many of you have demanded refunds on your order since finding out the book is a work of fiction? Be honest...
Yet again you indulge in fantasising about "anti-Trumpers". What a time suck. I do see how it can be fun to treat everything as a blues v reds game, but you are just going to trip yourself up by going hard against it. It looks bad for everyone.

The book features lots of comments from Trump people, the author was allowed in the White House, and all of the people involved are unreliable. The reaction to it has also been unreliable, as has been the reaction to that. However, the idea that Trump is incompetent is hard to find fault with. I'm guessing you're hoping that by being anti anything that suggests dysfunction, you create a possible window whereby somehow it turns out Trump and his team know what they're doing?

The book isn't that bad a reflection of the White House: Can't believe anything except that it is dysfunctional and full of battling egos.

This isn't true either. Who told you this or are you suffering from confirmation bias? I know his polls were hit by the Access Hollywood tape. I'm guessing your thinking of early in the campaign, where publicity helped him grow against other Republicans (although, again, not consistently). 'Telling it like it is' comments can lead to a poll bump. Especially if anti-immigrant. Lots of people like to blame the world's problems on people who are different to them.
