U.S Presidential Election

Sure Lee it's his vocabulary that's the problem.

I will jump off if Trump crosses the line into derangement. But he's nowhere near it, merely carrying out his election pledges. People are carrying on like Trump himself is bundling people into the ovens.

Hysterical whingers be silent and let the man do his job.

i think the fact that your contribution to this thread is to mock protestors rather than support any of his actions says a bit.

My heart goes out to the precious justice warriors spurred on by the left stream media who have a clear and obvious agenda to undermine Trump.

As for hollywood, perhaps they can stand in solidarity with their muslin brothers and host the next oscars in Iran or Syria.

Re the Donalds policies, improving relations with russia, minding their own backyard and not starting wars everywhere are policies that seem ok to me. The one I'm probably most against is the potential pulling out of the Paris agreement.

Oh those bad dudes must have been chomping at the bit to get into the US. Remind me how many homegrown terror attacks have been caused by citizens of the evil 7?

What is it costing to monitor everything and nip these terror plots in the bud? When all the fuss dies down, Americans will be better off and will feel safer.

The protestors can't keep up. They're running out of blank signs and textas. They should invest in some portable white boards and white board markers.

:hihi
 
I don't subscribe to like or understand his polices. But Trump is proving that the silent majority approve of what he is actioning.

They may feel safer but the reality couldn't be further from the truth. I also find it interesting that the Trump supporters give little acknowledgement to the rise of right wing extremists. If you want a a sneak peek do some research into the rise of Neo-Nazism in Russia. The recent burning of a mosque in Texas & the massacre in Quebec is a taste of things to come.

Every bit as bad as Islamists. Worse from some perspectives. Contrary to leftist doctrine, most right-wing supporters are not gun-toting neo-Nazi sympathisers. Hope they bring back the death penalty for that peanut in Quebec.

That type of "support" is definitely a problem for right-wing parties ATM. You may have noticed Pauline Hanson's recent attempts to weed out the ratbags.

Did they catch the recent Texas perp?

I don't believe they have caught the perpetrators but I find it highly improbable that it was the work of Muslims. As for the the garbage Trump is attracting, his rhetoric is hardly galvanising religious tolerance.

There are some good points here as far as it relates to undocumented immigrants but I don't understand why anyone would call for loss of benefits to legal immigrants. The US is built on legal immigration as Australia is.

Why would anyone be silent? It is a democracy where anyone can speak and that's all we are hearing.

The people have the right to speak and hold a government to account. It is no different to those criticisms of Obama when he was in office just louder.

Well besides the moral issue of robbing Joe to pay Abdul, forced integration and welfare treats tend to lead to nationalist pushback and decreases the incentive for immigrants to work.

The best immigrants both countries got was in the absence of welfare.

People are scared of being shouted down or beaten up if they speak up given the tolerant left's perchant for violence. I don't remember Obama protesters destroying property, beating up opponents and calling for the White House to be bombed?

i remember Trump encouraging people to use guns to take care of Hilary Clinton.

A quick google search suggests your memory might be failing you:

what Trump is doing will turn more and more Muslims to extremism. the effect of this will be more "terrorist attacks," not less.

serious question... are you not alarmed by the rise of right wing nationalism around the world? Fascism is returning my friend. we haven't learnt from what happened 100 years ago.

Bang on, America hasn't had a major domestic terrorist incident since 9/11. If it aint broke don't fix it. The best weapon against fundamentalism is the Muslim communities themselves - a form of self-policing. But hey, what do the intelligence agencies know about these matters. No need to heed advice from the very people who have been thrust onto the frontline. Let's just emblazon a 21st century Star of David across the forehead of every Muslim and hope they behave like obedient second class citizens.
 
Didn’t Obama put a 6 month ban on Iraqis and send back some Cubans? stand corrected if not true.
