Justin Smith   10 #1 Posted November 9, 2016 Personally I cannot believe that just when a narcissistic populist, who got the Presidency by promising to protect US jobs by introducing tariffs, is coming to power, the UK is, probably, leaving the biggest free trade area in the world. And there`s more, Trump has consistently said he`d cut back on the US involvement in NATO. During the Referendum campaign the Leave lobby were saying our security is based on NATO, not the EU. So what happens now ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Justin Smith   10 #3 Posted November 9, 2016 It won't affect it and I think some people need to stop making prediction because they keep being wrong.  What, like the prediction we could spend another £350 million a week on the NHS if we left the EU. Yes, you`re right, maybe people shouldn`t make predictions, particularly if they may affect the result of an important referendum. The latter having, in my opinion, an effect on the US presidency, which has resulted in us having a narcissistic egotistical populist as head of the most powerful country in the world.  One minor positive of Trump`s election. After the EU Referendum I no longer regarded the US electorate as the stupidest in the world, but know, I can tell you all, they have resumed their crown.

Bottletop   10 #4 Posted November 9, 2016 So Brexit, and now Trump. In both cases it is/was reported we were all apparently shocked, not going to vote them in and none of us can believe the outcome. Yet the majority of the UK and US populations have voted in this way.  Do you ever get the impression the press just has way too much sway these days in saying whatever they like? Either that or they no longer have their fingers on the right pulse of the public... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Robin-H Â Â 11 #5 Posted November 9, 2016 Trump said that the UK would get a trade deal with the US before the EU (in contrast to Obama's warning that we would be at the back of the queue).

Conservatives in power Labour Party appoint an unelectable leader UK votes to leave the EU Trump becomes US President.  All done through the democratic process.  Some must think their birthdays have all come at once because they have so much to moan about.  Perhaps you need to push for an inquiry into the US elections now.

Perhaps, they should move to America and teach those anti Trump voters, who are unhappy with the democratic decision, how to moan and complain.
