If Mexicans have no confidence in Trump, that is a good thing. Mexico is a leech, dumping its low IQ social failures and criminals into the US and then sucking out remittances. I would be worried if Mexico thought highly of Trump. Instead, Trump is putting Americans before Mexicans. Imagine that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition the little "deal" between the clinton woman and the treasenous wasserman, made Trump win. Very few votes came from the hardcore trumpers.

Trump will power through all the rhetoric and bs stirred up by the NWO elitists the world over and stay on task like a bulldog. THe winds of change are among us and by the time Trump settles in for his 2nd term, things will be well on the way to MAGA. Patience is the key. Democrats left our govt on tatters and a lot has to be done to get it back. Ummmm, let's see. Who has historically stayed on task like a bulldog: Some notables: Chairman Mao, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Papa Doc, .....shall I go on? 14 hours ago, Thaidream said: There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that Donald Trump will win an election again for anything- including dog catcher. I have doubts he will be able to complete his current term. I'd like to agree, but I can't help recall that there's still a sizable number of voting Americans who are stupid and very easily duped. Unless they change, and become informed, reasonable folks, ....shysters like Trump can win elections. Here's some insight on Trump's most recent lawyer and mouthpiece. He changed from being Jewish to being a Bible Thumper, because he realized it was a fast track to riches. He and his wife started an organization which begs many small donations from poor people. Now he and and his family are fabulously wealthy; private jets, 60-million-dollar/year lifestyles, expensive properties in several states. Just the sort of person Trump lauds.

Frankly, I have a much harder time trusting the judgments of Swedes, Germans, Italians, and Frenchmen, along with their leaders, who have turned their own countries into a shooting gallery for disgruntled moslems. Let me link you to an article that was posted in Thai visa. . The article showed how little of a threat Islamist terrorists posed to the UK. Then some other poster chimed in with a link to a web page that showed all the Islamist terrorist attacks that have occurred in Europe (including Turkey) http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/europe-attacks.aspx The grand total of people killed according to the the date on the web site inked to is 2320. (Significant that they didn't provide a total? I had to arrive at it via a spreadsheet) And this includes Turkey 90 plus percent of which isn't even in Europe. And some of these killings aren't terrorist killings. But let's let that pass and look at this number of 2320 killings rationally. The total population of the area cited in this list is more than 750 million people. Divide those attacks by the number of years (16) and the yearly number of killings comes to 145 per year. That means that there is a bit less than 1 terrorist murder per 5 million people per year. So stop with the lying already about these western European nations being overrun with terrorists disguised as refugees. It's nonsense. And if you can't understand that, well, I'll leave it to others to draw conclusions about your powers of ratiocination. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America does its own killing with homegrown American criminals. And since firearms are so easy to obtain in the USA, American criminals are much more prolific than these "disgruntled moslems" in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck2 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Headline „Image of the United States has plunged under Trump, survey shows“ doesn't say it all.The image of the USA started plunging in the eyes of non US people, when G.W.Bush was reelected, although he had started a fabricated war in Iraq. That the war was fabricated, was no secret at that election time. Everybody with a normal sense asked himself, how can it happen that a POTUS got re-elected by cheating the nation and the world. One reason the USA had woken up to chose Obama after 8 years of G.W. . But the US electorate put many many big rocks on Obama's political street. It gave the Reps a majority in the congress. But now the downfall to its lowest level. Surprised? Not at all. The POTUS and both chambers of the congress are in the hand of the Reps. As proven the average Rep is not so intelligent as an average Dem. That says it all. Should I say that the States now have plunged under Trump, what means because of Trump? My interpretation of the last election result: a lot of serious flaws in the US democratic system (should I say „so called?“) made it possible to give such a nut the (dangerous) power over the world number 1 state. When you talk about democracy then you think the majority of the US people/votes should decide who wins the job of the POTUS. And not the winner takes it all – in the overwhelming number of the US states. Imagine: the Dems or Reps would have won in each state only by one vote more than the opponent. Great democrazy. The members of the Supreme Court are not independent. They have to pay back that they have been nominated by the political system/parties and not because of their expert knowledge. The laughing stock, they can remain in this court until (dementia) death. No time frame for the election of a member for the highest Court. Therefore: political games after A.Scalia's death. What a pity that not more supreme judges had died. The duration of the pre-election period is way too long. The candidates without much money don't have a chance. The powerful background money (mafia) wants to see its „money back“. Too much influence on the electorat by advertising with so called alternative facts. That catches the not so intelligent people. In different words: the st...d. But believe me I'm not an USA hater, I only don't like stupidity and unreliability. And that doesn't depend on the peoples nation, but applies to Trump and a lot of Reps.They change their opinion more often than you go to the toilet.

Most Americans don't care what people outside the country think. Or what the America haters in America think. Most Americans either do, or should care. Likability and economic, diplomatic and even military success are correlated. For example, in the sphere of economics, people are more likely to visit the countries towards which they have good feelings. Inward tourism is a major plank of the American economy and employs millions of Americans. Respect for America as an offshoot of respect for its president gives American products abroad an extra veneer of salability, which translates to higher prices, brisker sales and ultimately more jobs for Americans. There is nothing to be gained from being obnoxious, except votes from other obnoxious Americans, who derive a perverse pleasure in *trying* to bring everyone down to their level. Most Americans aren't like that, but those that are, tend to be pretty loud. And that screws with everyone's life. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
