Donald Trump for President Thread

Shut up Butters...she hasn't been proven to have broken any laws.

Unlike Trump who has been proven in a court of law to have done so.

Let's not even talk about the cases he's settled out of court.

You're as bad as her mate. Should be ashamed of yourself sticking up for such a rotten apple.

And you the same for sticking up for that repugnant swine.

Well that's ok then, at least we're clear on where we stand.

And for what it's worth, I think neither of them will make a good President, but I know for sure she's pure and utter scum. I also know Trump has jumped on the nation's building anger and whipped likely voters up into a frenzy to turn them against Clinton.

Both not good people, but for me one very much more than the other.

I once sat next to Rex Murphy on a flight between Toronto and Ottawa. Interesting fella

I'm sure he is, in person... although I've heard a whole range of things about him. He's lost a lot of credibility as a "journalist" though after it emerged that he was on the Tar Pit payroll

And anyways, @ilikecheese, within 48 hours Trump's policital career will be over, so calm down and enjoy that thought.

He called it perfectly when he asked her why she hasn't changed the rules if she's so concerned about him having got around them legally. Answer, because all of those bankers and other special interests she's been servicing for all those years use exactly the same loopholes and it's how she's become stinking rich. Notice how since he essentially admitted using (legal) loopholes nothing has been mentioned since? Not a peep about his tax return being made public, nothing whatsoever.

...my point is, if he's got a true calling for the top job in the world he should do all he can to support that nation.

if you don't read "liberal" publications or perspectives, how can you be sure that you're right about things? serious question

i do try to read a wide range of sources - though i draw the line at things like Breitbart etc.

not like it makes me any less flippant on the internet, but i have to be measured and balanced in my professional writing and if you can't blow off steam about politics on a footy forum then where can you?

It is one thing to read them, but it is another to accept that what they tell you is all the news fit to print.

I find myself neither aligned with left nor right, but I find that those on the right can lucidly explain positions accurately from their perspective as well as the left's perspective, as the left's position is ubiquitous and the accepted norm. From those on the left I only hear that the only reason they are ever opposed is due to racism and greed. If you doubt me, just read this thread again from the start.

The peak of this was the execrable "strange fruit" picture thrown into the fray from the least likely source I would imagine. This shook me, and I am still offended and deeply hurt by the inference of that photograph. In the best of all possible worlds, someday I will receive an apology for that. Until then, this person is dead to me.

Don't confuse Breitbart the site with Breitbart the man. Like me, he was once a dissolute man of the left, and like me, he reconsidered the eventual result of what he was advocating. How I wish he had lived much longer.

And Trump sill has a rape accusation and about a dozen sexual assault accusations hanging over his head.

To be fair, No he doesn't......

The rape accusation is such a non story even the Democratics haven't mentioned it.....and none of the women who went to the media with the sexual assault claims have ever pressed any charges against him....so he has no worries on that front....

To be honest, I'm pretty sure he only ran at the beginning for publicity, attention, and lots of free advertising for the Trump brand......then something ridiculous happened, and here we are....

She definitely has and theres plenty of evidence if you would want to look for it. The problem is that she is been protected. Best and clearest evidence of it are those congressional hearings (youtube). Loretta Lynch is the one where the puck eventually stops.

Well he definitely has in the American court system been found guilty/liable on I believe 38 different occasions. Then of course there's the hundreds of thousands of dollars he's coughed up settling things out of court. You don't even have to look for it really...it's all a matter of public record.

I still think the funniest one he got caught doing was when his dad bought $3.5 million in poker chips at one of his casinos with the intent on never gambling.
