That's certainly true. I didn't really take the sentences this stems from too literally although it's still impressive.

Pompous. Egotistical. Arrogant. Privileged. That look has become so cliche he should trademark it.

If he did then you wouldn't be able to use that avatar. Fair trade.

This is the only good thing coming out of Trump: the dank memes.

You make feasible points, but if you are going to say that he did lose money based on things we said then I think this is something we'd need to see hard numbers on for better or for worse.

As far as the conflicts of interests are concerned, I'm actually rather interested in how he handles a lot of them, seeing as we've never had someone elected before with a multimillion globally spanning business before. Someone with the kind of wide ranging assets he possesses was not in the Founding Fathers' predictions. The ball is in Congress's court I suppose.

Agreed mostly, but you make it sound like his kids being involved is some kind of problem that has never occurred before in presidential history, which is not true. Look at FDR for example plus 15 other past presidents.

Donald Trump's Kids Wouldn't Be First to Work in White House

Trump tapped into feelings of hated and racism to some extent, but that's not really why he won. I'll save you the pep talk and let this nice European liberal fellow break it down.

How much money may Donald Trump have lost already? - Business Insider

This article breaks down some hard numbers and that was just from the rapist comment about illegal immigrants. I didn't dig deep enough to see how much more he has lost since then. Majority of the media outlets are only reporting his gains for the most part.

We shall see what they do, he's really stepping across ethical lines on this one.


I didn't know if he was setting a precedent for it or not. Obviously you have provided proof that he's not but I still feel like it IS an issue regardless if other presidents have done so in the past.

I'm not saying that's the only reason why he won but it is part of numerous other reasons.
I will watch that 13 min video eventually even though I have a strong feeling what he's going to say.

I disagree. President Elect Rubio wouldn't pick this bad of a cabinet full of no political experiencing having mother ****ers.

Speaking of which, I need to update the OP.

You should care about that. It isn't just that they will be promoting Republican leaning policy changes they will be going to extremes and/or dismantling certain departments in the process. Or at least the very least running them extremely inefficiently.

lol

fite

no im just laughing at every thing in this thread all at once

Canada have nothing to laugh about.

justin trudeau is kinda the worst and before that we had stephen harper who is also kinda the worst, we're just as ****ed tbh but just without the spectacle surrounding it.

How about just jump in a lake?

yeah that article is ignoring a lot of the other stuff. i don't think he's like, horrible, but he's nowhere as good as the hardcore libs make him out to be. he still hasn't even addressed bill c-51 (which was like his biggest platform when running.)

also he says a lot of ridiculous things. see his comments about Fidel Castro or the way he treated his appointing so many women to the supreme court by saying "it's 2016, why not?" really dude? that's the best you have, because it's 2016? i'm all for getting more women in these positions but maybe he could have discussed how they're incredibly certified for the spot and how they've worked hard throughout their careers for it. but nah, "it's 2016, why not?" works a lot better for approval ratings with the youngins.

Beautiful.

This guy is so insanely reckless I'm just scratching my head wondering why the hell the government doesn't just whack him already. I mean a lot of Trump supporters believe Obama had Scalia killed so why the f*ck are they letting this China sh*t slide?

what he said^:dj:

She, bruv.

if you're in the mood to laugh at how ridiculous some of the republicans out there are, check the comments.

:rofl:

Damn Putin's War pigeons and their secret pro-Trump messages!

War Pigeon

It's true: if you listen carefully you can almost make out "Trrrump" in their call. :laughing:

Seeing as he won the electoral college vote, it's time to prepare for the end of the world.

Perception, as is the case in all things, is always relative. :)

Unsure what you're getting at. Am I not supposed to be of the opinion that Trump is going to push us back over 60 years of progress?

:laughing:

Correct, because that's fearmongering and an overtly pessimistic way to think. Trump didn't elect himself to overturn all the good that has been done in the past (he was a Democrat himself until fairly recently), and everything people assume for good or ill is all assumption anyway, just like you don't know if you'll find a million dollars when you step outside your house or if a meteor will come down. Think of it this way: If Obama with his endless procession of executive orders and questionable cabinet picks over an eight year period couldn't transform the United States into the liberal utopia the Republicans didn't want, I don't know why you'd expect something just as unrealistic from The Donald.

So ... is this a video for or against Trump? Cos, you know, at the end he destroys Earth... :confused:

More "for" than against, because it embraces the meme culture that got Trump elected and uses a common leftist kneejerk response ("Trump is the end of the world") as a punchline.

Well you believe what you want. Trump on the other hand has already proved through his cabinet choices that he wants to reverse upwards of 50 years of work starting with reversing a lot of what has happened in the last 8 years. If that's not scary to you, maybe rethink your own opinion.

What has happened in the last eight years that's so miraculous? The ACA, which is Obama's legacy supposedly, is a massive failure. I've changed insurance companies twice in two years now because rates are skyrocketing seemingly without rhyme or reason.

As far as his cabinet picks are concerned...again, lots of kneejerk reactions. For instance, I don't think Rick Perry is honestly that bad a choice for the Department Of Energy, at least if you have ALL information available at your disposal. And yes, I'm aware this is The Federalist. But the points made are still valid.

And so on and so forth. Again, you have the power to do your own research and examine all avenues of possibility. Don't be a follower: keep an open mind and examine all assumptions. Don't be like Chula and elphenor and have a kneejerk reaction to things based on emotional responses to minimal information and laughable biases. Human beings are more than the sum of their careers after all, and that goes for cabinet picks as well. I've seen better and worse picks alike over the last 30 years, yet somehow America is still alive and well.

lol please inform us on what happened in the last 8 years that if undone will set the US back 50 years. you're reading too many of the same articles as Chula it seems.

Whenever you say this, or "Maybe do some research", it makes you sound like a defensive idiot.

So he doesn't seem like a threat to you? Perhaps you need to do more reading.

so instead of answering my question you put words in mouth and tell me to do some reading

Chula Vista Jr. ladies and gentlemen!

This forum is gonna be the death of me whether it's from people's own inability to research or my inability to let a stupid argument go.

You could always try presenting your own research instead of being lazy.

I'm honestly more interested in hearing counter arguments to research that is plain sight. If you look at Trump's cabinet choices and you're not afraid of what the country will turn into, you haven't been paying attention.
