The Donald Trump thread

[LordKenwyne]

I felt he needed a thread as news comes out daily.

To get the ball rolling :

Donald Trump is going to cut Meals on Wheels to pay for Mexican border wall

The president appears to be prioritising his promised wall along the US-Mexico border which will receive an immediate $1.5bn (£1.2bn) cash injection

This is an insightful old interview from Feb '96, that somehow seems quite relevant, with all the various fake news, hacking and trade deals stuff going on.

Donald Trump will never be taken seriously in the UK so long as he's named after a fart. And I'm afraid Vince Cable is sailing close to the wind too.

His Obamacare repeal has just failed....will he actually get anything done in the next 4 years?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Too many members on both sides of the house are compromised, so he'd be better off focussing all of his energy on draining the swamp.

Ok, so he's had two crushing defeats on major campaign promises in just two months, but there's still the wall to be built, and don't forget that he's going to win so often that everyone will get bored of winning.

All those who are being blackmailed will continually vote against Trump in an attempt to bring down his presidency. He knows this, so I think he is going to take them all out. The wheels are already in motion.

Well at least he now knows who the enemies are in his own party, so if anything it makes his job easier

Presidents become lame ducks with a few months of their tenure remaining. Trump is one two months into the job. Maybe we should refer to him as Donald Chump from now on.

But seriously, he's another actor playing a role who keeps to a script. Must give him credit for admitting he lied about draining the swamp and investigating Hillary Clinton.

As far as I know the wheels are rolling, and don't forget some of those investigators are compromised too, so it's not all as simple as you think. That swamp is pretty deep! Pulling the the healthcare bill ain't so bad either, as the Democrats 100% own Obamacare, so when the costs spiral out of control Trump can simply shrug his shoulders and say told you so.

What you articulated is similar to what I've seen diehard American supporters of Trump state at other forums. They are really struggling to explain why he's not delivering on any of his pledges. Many of those who voted for him suspected he was another glove puppet from the outset but did so only because his name wasn't Hillary Clinton. They of course realised he was another front man the instant he appointed ex-Goldmanite and tribe member Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary.

The Republicans have been trying to get Obamacare repealed for years and yet Trump couldn't even get it as far as the vote. Even some of his critics must be surprised at just how incompetent he's been so far. Maybe Donald Trumped is a decent name.

Unfortunately, I don't read these forums that you speak of, but there are plenty of places to find info that is being leaked by well-placed sources on both sides. What we are witnessing is a full on war between two opposing factions.

I'm neither a Trump fan nor a Trump hater. I am merely watching as events unfold. If it is true that Trump and his team were incidentally monitored, there will be some trouble over this. And if after going to such lenghts they failed to find any dirt, it means there isn't any.

Other recent events to keep an eye on are the 7th Floor crew being sent on gardening leave, and the announcement that there is going to be a focus on human trafficking. It is already clear to a lot of people what all this means, so on the whole I would say the president is being proactive in a lot of areas.
