tinfoilhat   11 #373 Posted November 10, 2016 absolute brilliant!!!! Trump wins US election Brexit wins in uk  At last boring polititians who have done bugger all in my 47 years are being overlooked by the general public.  whatever people on here may think--A WINNING VOTE MEANS MORE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR THE WINNING CHOICE  so that says something about how the general public are fed up with the lying leaders of their respective countries.  and the best thing is that Trump will do his best to make sure his peoples wishes are granted  With regards to trump, what have you seen or read that makes you think he won't be as duplicitous in his presidential life as he has been in a large chunk of his business affairs? He's had a career of saying one thing and doing another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Still good on Trump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Still good on Trump.  Only the fifth time in US history it's happened. And the margin is very small. Still, the added emphasis in Doberman's post makes that the fact that its actually wrong more amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Still good on Trump.  Indeed, good on him. He could surprise a lot of people. And if it all goes to pot it won't be the tearful mega rich celebrities who suffer (I wish they'd grow up frankly) it will be the people who voted for him.  An interesting 4 years ahead!

If he performs terribly he'll lose the mid terms and become a lame duck. Isn't it normal for presidents to lose the mid terms anyway? And they spend a whole year farting about in preparation for the election. He might only actually be in charge for two years.  Good luck to him. I think despite his obvious flaws he's less of a maniac than Cruz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But he's hardly popular with them. He's more like an independant really. He upset both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
