I don't see what the the big deal is. No ones gonna start any world wars. Nuclear arms prevent that. You have nukes, so do we, if we start using them we'll destroy each other.

I think we'll see trump transition now into something more ''presidential''. I think he's very clever and took on the persona he did because he knew there were voters he could tap into who were sick of politicians. From what I've seen and read trump voting Americans seemed to understand this. One guy interviewed had never voted before...in his life. He said he would probably get down to vote for trump, his reason? He needed to put food on the table. He needed to feed his family and he believed trump would give a better chance of an improvement in his circumstances than Clinton.

Anyway, some are speculating trump winning over clinton will work out better for us in light of brexit, every cloud eh?

They're all just puppets.

There is little doubt that he will become "more presidential", after all, after the way that he behaved during the campaign, it would be impossible to be less so.
However, that just doesn't excuse some of the stuff that he said, which, was "over the line", especially for a person wanting the highest political position in the world.
He wasn't a bloke down the pub, who had had a bit to drink, he was, campaigning for the top job.
For all of our sake's, we have to hope that those around him will exert some control and act as the voice of reason.
As for improving "our" position after Brexit, we still have to see whether our own parliament goes through with it.
As the months have passed since the referendum, fewer and fewer MP's seem willing to go through with it.

The political landscape is changing and not necessarily for the better, the days of politicians having ideals and principles is long gone, which is a crying shame.

Why would anything more be made of it? We all what happened. We all know HC isn't going to jail and we know every threat won't happen. In political contests we can now say what we want, there's no come back.

Draintheswamp = increase the swamp, look what's he's doing right now!

Earlier? They brought it out to early, trump timed the fbi email dump to perfection.

I'll go for that but only if I'm allowed to be Emperor.

Those podesta emails were staggering. Especially the ones with code words such as "hot dog". How on earth Hilary Clinton wasn't investigated further is beyond me. Mind you, people used to hark on about pedophiles within the BBC for years before it all came to light only to be shot down

That's capitalism for you.
The theory about having ambition making some money is ok but, there has to be some social conscience that comes with it or, we wnd up with people being exploited by the greedy and needy.

The biggest surprise in all this is that we haven't got a massively overused buzzword for the Trump supporting collective. Trumpers? Trumpets? Trumpeteers? Trumpions? Trumpxiteers?

In another move towards healing some of the divides within the US, Trump appoints Stephen Bannon, a white supremacist as his new chief strategist.
It may not just be the Muslims and Mexicans that have to worry ?

There appear to be some dark times ahead as more and more countries lurch to the right to solve their political and economic problems.

Well well well, what a year it has been politically. Brexit was good enough but then this. The liberal elite has taken one helluva kicking lately and it is majestic.

Was Dachau one of favourites and what it was about.
You really don't like people who think do you.

The interesting thing about Trump and Brexit is that they show just how many votes a wealthy individual can effectively buy (Trump himself and Banks).
