Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

His pledge on corporation tax also moved from 15% to 15-20% yesterday - it will be 25% before the end of the year.

From a wall to a fence by next week.

It does indeed, could say it will help the UK with the USA.

I'd thought exactly the same. If I was Trump, or any American come to that, I'd be absolutely fuming over those comments, as they're not just a go at their president elect but the whole country.

Juncker making friends and influencing people. The below is from the BBC:

"Donald Trump's election as US president risks upsetting US ties with Europe, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has warned.

"We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works," Mr Juncker told a student audience in Luxembourg.

Intercontinental relations may be affected "in their foundation and in their structure", he said.

His remarks contrasted with other EU leaders' more muted reactions.

Will Trump-style revolt engulf Europe?

Quoted by Luxembourg newspaper Le Quotidien, Mr Juncker, a former prime minister of the tiny state, continued: "In general the Americans pay no heed to Europe. As for Mr Trump, if I understand properly, he thinks Belgium is a village somewhere on our continent...

"My honest opinion? With Mr Trump, we are going to waste two years while he tours a world he doesn't know."

During the election campaign, Mr Trump caused alarm in EU circles with his sharp criticism of Nato, the cornerstone of Western Europe's defence structure, and calls for better relations with Russia.

His promise to "cancel" the Paris Climate Agreement within 100 days of taking office and protectionist stance on trade have also caused concern, as have his controversial comments about ethnic and religious minorities."

While EU leaders congratulated the Republican on his shock victory over Hillary Clinton, German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed in her message to him that the US and Germany shared "the values of democracy, freedom, respect for the rule of law and human dignity, regardless of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political belief".

This from a man who used to run a tax haven country of 500,000 people. Merkel pushed him into the job of running the Eu of 500,000,000 people. He is arrogant, he does not have the ability and was fought against by David Cameron who believed that he would destroy the Eu. The man is a complete nonentity but nevertheless personifies everything that is rotten and wrong within the Eu. I am so glad that we are leaving this bullying organisation........

The real tragedy about the Cubs winning is that Harry Caray wasn't alive to see it.

Yes, but not just Harry. Thousands, many thousands.

Sounds like you lean Aggie over Longhorn.

Got lots of Aggies in the family I married into but don't care too much for either of them.
