The President is mostly a figurehead. Things he can do, or at least put Congress on spot for:
0) Appoint supreme court judges. Yee haw, bill of rights.
1) Declare war. Much less likely.
2) Undeclare war. More likely.
3) Press for free trade deals. More likely.
4) Border security. More of.
5) 3rd world immigration. Less of.
6) Spies and such. Will probably get super-gadgets.
Anything inside their borders, not so much. States still run most of their own day to day business, and Congress does the money stuff.
Really, it's all good for the Septics, although many of them don't realise it. Snow-Mexico might have to beef up their border security to stop the swarms of refugees fleeing North. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It will all be fine, we are all saying he is nuts, cant be trusted, finger on the button, so who in the right mind is going to rattle him ?
He has passion for the Country he has become President in, he isn`t going to water anything down or let anyone mock the USA,
So the Putins of this world would actually have preferred a Hilary, that don`t over react and can be bullied, like we are when their Jets "Buzz" the UK,
Trump will just tell the Air Force to shoot the buggers down,
Would I want him in charge here, No, but will it be different, oh god yes,
with Hilary you`d just get the same old shi te they keep getting, look how honest the last Clinton`s were in the White House,
WW3 nah, may actually peg a few back and make the World safer.

He's a less froody version of Zaphod Beeblebrox.
He's also used to getting his own way and when he finds out that being president of the US doesn't mean everyone does what he tells them, he'll have a tantrum, then a sulk, then go and do something else.
Just like when he made a golf course in Aberdeen then found they were building an offshore wind turbine he could see. Shout and scream, threaten, then give up and buy Turnburry instead.
I can't see him going through the machinations, agreements and compromises it takes to get things done in a democratic system as complex as the one they have in the US. He'll lose interest very quickly. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Indeed, I think he's in for a very tough time if he thinks he can simply do what he wants, and others will just do as they're told
Although let's see just how many of his 'promises' he follows up on, and how many were just what the average 'American' wanted to hear
I somehow can't see the president of Mexico reaching for his chequebook any time soon! ____________________ Rogerborg wrote: It'd certainly make it easier to ego-find my own posts on pages, given the number of fags (gay like traps) who insist on putting my name in their .sig |

Nothing spectacular will happen, the world isn't going to end, snowflakes will bawwww, toys will be thrown from prams so markets and currencies will fluctuate. Then at some point people will realise that the harbingers of doom were wrong so things will return to "normal" (whatever that might be ). |

Trump's fans are (by and large) the ones with the legally held guns, used responsibly.
His enemies are a triggered mob who already have form for kicking off, and have been inculcated with the sure and certain knowledge that Trump is literally Hiter.
If you truly believed that you could stop the next Hitler, wouldn't you?
Still, at he's unlikely to throw things and screech abuse at this Secret Service detail, so they might actually take a bullet for the Emperor.
The Emperor!

Apparently it was vote for "change", an "anti establishment" vote, if you believe the propaganda!
Of course the best way to bring about change and give the establishment a kicking, is to vote in a motor mouth, inherited wealth, billionaire, a megalomaniac business man fighting off a string of lawsuits as long as your arm! Somone so anti establishment he's spent decades trying to buy his way into it!
Way to go USA, that'll teach the "establishment"!

This argument loses quite a bit of credibility when you realise that the opposition for said megalomaniacal billionaire was one of the most hated scions of a political dynasty that's mainly remembered for triangulation and philandering. Either way, once Clinton and Trump emerged as the front runners, it was always going to be a race to the bottom. ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |

It will be 4 years of him failing to deliver on his pre-election promises at the end of which they will be able to elect a proper candidate:

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 205 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
