Trump looks like a man who knows that impeachment is coming. The tangled web of collusion with the Russians is starting to unravel, and he knows it.

He's going to show those rednecks that voted for him what a global elite is alright. Him, Putin and global oil. He's going to fill that swamp with more shit than they could ever imagine. Just give him time. That's the truth. Hard to believe so many have fallen for his "man of the people" bullshit. Kind of ironic that the only people who are going to be hit harder than undocumented immigrants are those rural and blue collar communities that voted this fool into power. He's going to fuck them over so hard they'll be begging for a free ride over that wall they want him to build for a better life in Mexico. |

The story of the week is Trump, Russia and the FBI. The rest is a distraction. The White House reportedly tried to influence an active counter-intelligence investigation. All else, press ban included, is designed to deflect attention StoryOfTheWeek |

Don't worry too much about what Trump will do. The President is not a dictator, even when a policy has popular support. One of Obama's first actions 8 years ago was to sign a paper to start the process to get rid of Guantanamo Bay; it's still there! For some reason I am taking little comfort from this flippant contribution, 'don't worry too much', you only just stopped short of saying 'he's a good lad really'  |

I do think he has a very racist view on who "the people" are. What I'm saying is the American constitution prevents any individual group/person taking control, whether they are the executive lead by the president, the judges, the 2 houses of Congress, and of course the written American constitution itself, which all there to specifically restrain any body taking control. |

Trump looks like a man who knows that impeachment is coming. The tangled web of collusion with the Russians is starting to unravel, and he knows it. I don't think it'll happen. It needs enough Republicans to agree that things like democracy and the law are important. Sessions won't recuse himself, Preibus is interfere with the FBI investigation and Trump spends his time installing oil and banking puppets and attacking everything that helps prevent dictatorships like the media, education, judges and voting rights. It looks like the Republicans are willing to let him do what he wants so long as they get to take away people's voting rights and remove anything that inconveniences the oil industry. It's likely to be the interferance of people like Preibus that get him impeached. There is complete chaos within the administration and somebody is eventually going to drop a bollock of epic proportions. They've gone to war with the media and the intelligence community - that's never going to end well. it's just a matter of time before the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. |

Trump was elected by the 'little people'.
The people whose voice is never heard.
The people that want somebody to speak up for them.
The people that Trump has been shafting all his life.
It always makes me laugh when people use financial markets to demonstrate Trumps 'success'.
Of course these markets are going to rise with Trumps election. They know that company profits will rise as a result of wages & conditions of employment falling.
Legislation imposed on financial systems after the 2008 crash are already being dismantled. Of course the US banking system will react favourably to this.
Trump has surrounded himself with billionaires who know as much about the life of 'little' people as...Donald Trump.

Take away your clear bias against Trump and what do you have left for an argument? The election was lost by Crooked Hillary as much as it was won by Trump. You seem to be in denial about the political revolution sweeping the west. By the end of 2017 the world will look a very different place.
If you don't want to be left behind like the little people invest some of your money into American based funds like I've been doing in the last 5 years. Be smart, don't bear grudges.

Take away your clear bias against Trump and what do you have left for an argument? I'm interested in why anyone would support him based on his policies overall. What's he actually done that you like? Which specific bits of his policies are good? Is there anything he's said or done that you dislike? The election was lost by Crooked Hillary as much as it was won by Trump. Lots of people are saying that Trump only won because of Russian hacking, the FBI's illegal public involvement just before the election and Republican voter suppression tactics that have prevented hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of legitimate voters from casting their ballots. He needed all 3 of those things and he still lost by 3 million votes. If you don't want to be left behind like the little people invest some of your money into American based funds like I've been doing in the last 5 years. If you've got a few hundred thousand free to invest then I agree that Trump's probably gonna be pretty good for you. |

You mean the CPAC event? I have to say that while I am generally a Trump supporter he looked like a corpse arisen from the dead compared to Nigel Farage who set the place ablaze with his oratory - sadly to a somewhat smaller audience. Farage is not only the most successful politician and greatest orator of our generation, he is a true prophet. I'm beginning to have doubts about Trump myself. But I'm willing to give him more time since he is still in his "honeymoon" phase. True prophet!?! He's a false prophet & a charlatan False prophet? Rubbish! Look at all the real profits he's made being a M.E.P. for years and now on a contract with Fox News(owned by Rupert Murdoch)! No wonder he can afford a young French fancy woman? |

Anyone else enjoying the BBC's sarcasm campaign since Trump banned them from briefings? They just use his own words, yesterday's speech was described on 5Live as saying it would be a great, great wall and would keep bad people out  The ever impartial BBC? |

Trump is playing this one up, but it could ultimately lead to his undoing. Now this is out in the open, there is going to some sort of investigation into what were Trumps people saying to the people under surveillance. If it comes out that Trump himself has spoken to one of these suspect people (I'm assuming they are people with Russian connections), then Trump will be toast. |

Giving some semblance of truth to Trump's claims of being wire tapped. That's spin for you. The only people that think that this news in some way vindicates Trump's allegations are the unthinking masses in the US that believe whatever Trump says. Incidental tapping occurs when a suspect person is being surveilled and a non surveilled person holds a conversation with the suspect version. The fat that it's a Republican that broke this news and a Democrat is reportedly unhappy about this, does also not indicate any support for Trump, if the Republicans want to take Trump down, then "helping" Trump in this way is a good way to do it. The news is out their and who said what to who will eventually come out. This is NOT good news for Trump. |

Maybe they were still listening to Merkel and taped her congratulatory phone call  "Mr Nunes also insisted the collected information was not linked to an FBI investigation into alleged links between the Trump team and Russian officials during the election campaign." Spin indeed. |
