Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[McLovin]

Wow..That is pretty strong language you have used there.

Did Bolt take the photo?......I don't think so.

My oh my how the truth hurts you lefties.

I know it is so hard for you to accept the facts so, you, in true Socialist fashion revert to character assassination in the Fabian indoctrinated way......You obviously don't know any better.

I do hope you read the comments from readers. ......You will probably say they drink from the same toilet....OMG...you really are something aren't you?

I know he didn't take the photo. Was he there?

Drink up, old bean.

The Andrews Government has lost the plot in Victoria, and hopefully he is the next one to be shipped out.

He never had the plot and the sooner he is ejected the better, how do these creeps ever get elected in the first place ?

That troll would have us believe Ward from "Father Knows Best", Steve from "My Three Sons" and John from "Lost in Space" were all fabianista socialist by the yard stick it uses. Apart from being archaic paternalistic remnants of extreme right wing McCarthyism, the fact that they showed care for others is enough to see the real truth they were pinko commo infiltrators tearing at the fabric of US capitalist society.

Charity in thought and deed is another hallmark of anti society.

And the corollary, the more debauched you are the better, as long as you hate the same people that the troll hates.

One place Donald Trump can take himself and his company is into the stratosphere as one of the richest tycoons in history.

Trump enterprises are a billion dollar world wide empire with potential interests everywhere. Given that he has refused to remove himself from his busness dealings you can bet there will be some exceptionally profitable deals offered to POTUS.

How President Trump could use the White House to enrich himself and his family

Trevor Potter

59 reading now



For the past 40 years, every president has placed his personal investments and assets in a blind trust while in the White House, or has sold everything and held cash equivalents.

President-elect Donald Trump has made it clear that he does not plan to set up such a trust, which would require that his company be run by an outsider who has had no previous business relationship with Trump, and that there
Trump is not required by law to create a blind trust or otherwise divest himself of all business holdings, though many people who will work for him in the government will have to do so. The 1978 Ethics in Government Act exempts the president and vice-president from its conflict of interest provisions, out of constitutional concerns about separation of powers.

So Trump says he plans to continue to personally own the Trump Organisation, a multibillion-dollar company with business interests around the world, but three of his adult children will operate the firm while he's in office. This is a colossal mistake. It will produce conflicts of interest of an unprecedented magnitude, and create the appearance that he and his family are using his office to enrich themselves, even if they don't take advantage of the many opportunities to do so that this situation presents. These conflicts will stain and haunt Trump's presidency, unless he changes course.

...Trevor Potter is the president of the Campaign Legal Centre and a Republican former chairman of the Federal Election Commission.

The Rolling Stones do not endorse Donald Trump. You Can’t Always Get What You Want was used without the band’s permission,” the group said on Twitter.

In May, the group upbraided Trump for using their song “Start Me Up” in his campaign.

“The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately,” a spokesman for the band said at the time.

A growing chorus of musicians ”” including Adele, Queen’s Brian May and Aerosmith yowler Steven Tyler ”” have complained about Trump using their music in his bid for the White House.

On Thursday, after “Here Comes the Sun” was played as Ivanka Trump took the stage at the convention, the estate of composer George Harrison tore into Trump, tweeting, “The unauthorized use of #HereComestheSun at the #RNCinCLE is offensive & against the wishes of the George Harrison estate … If it had been Beware of Darkness, then we MAY have approved it!”

People, the media, other politicians keep talking of Donald Trump as a trainwreck. An ever cascading litany of outrageous statements, policy proposals, firebrand speeches.

But perhaps its really a train ride with The Trump firmly sitting up front as the Republican preferred candidate despite or because of the "litany of outrageous statements, policy proposals, firebrand speeches."

So where could this train ride take the US and us (the rest of the world) ?

Some background to his body of work and the current response from other politicians

There is also one excellent psychological observation of how well Donald Trump works his audience.

The winning of presidential election is itself a big question as he don't won the popular vote electoral college voted for him ok. that leads to the question why he won?

First, he won because most of the white people supporting him thinks that due to immigration and inflow of aliens they will become a minority in their own country and then they might be neglected with basic rights and freedom as the incoming people don't have the same perception.

Second, he was outspoken about the wall and muslim ban which are not only illogical but impossible to implement.

and if you were to ask what is the strategy behind it and how he is gonna do it? he won't be able to answer it because deep down inside he himself knows that it is impossible.

Now you might be thinking, Now what? He is already elected what he will do to U.S? The answer to that question is: I don't thinks he will be able to change much of the policies because now he is the execution state. The proposed plan requires dedicated resources which are already scarce. As a result he won't be able to make much changes U.S policies.

Our Prime Minister heads our country by leading a political party that only garnered 28.67% of the vote. The largest block of votes was the ALP at 34.73%.

It's pretty awful, and as much as I dislike Clinton the thought of Trump being President actually scares me. It will have real consequences for Australia.

Starting......now.

Donald Trump risks opening up a major diplomatic dispute with China before he has even been inaugurated after speaking on the phone on Friday with Tsai Ying-wen, the president of Taiwan.

The telephone call, confirmed by three people, is believed to be the first between a US president or president-elect and a leader of Taiwan since diplomatic relations between the two were cut in 1979.

Although it is not clear if the Trump transition team intended the conversation to signal a broader change in US policy towards Taiwan, the call is likely to infuriate Beijing which regards the island as a renegade province.

The US has adopted the so-called “One China” policy since 1972 after the Nixon-Mao meetings and in 1978 President Jimmy Carter formally recognised Beijing as the sole government of China, with the US embassy closing in Taipei the year after.

The Trump team did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

“The Chinese leadership will see this as a highly provocative action, of historic proportions,” said Evan Medeiros, former Asia director at the White House national security council.

“Regardless if it was deliberate or accidental, this phone call will fundamentally change China’s perceptions of Trump’s strategic intentions for the negative. With this kind of move, Trump is setting a foundation of enduring mistrust and strategic competition for US-China relations.”

That's not a boat that needs to be rocked.

This is not good.....China won't be happy about this and it will certainly result in a souring of relations.

Trump is draining the swamp alright, but he is replacing it with his own. (ho hum)
