What has Trump done now?

[old man emu]

Even if the Yanks pull out by the and of April, it is going to take years and years to get things back to where they were at the beginning of March. The Iranian threat of nuclear capability might have been squashed, but the damage done in doing so will take years to recover. Even if the oil started to flow today, the World is still missing the deliveries it expected over the past six weeks. While we have concentrated on the fuel component of crude oil, do not forget that we have develped so many othe products from that stuff that we seem to find essential for modern life.

Does this graph show that Donold is controlling the media by 188%   ?

I think it shows that he's just as useless at maths as everything else.

The "truth social" chart should have shown something like this....

An approval rating nearly Nixonish

Yeah, I know it's from a lefty echo chamber, but there are a couple of good quotes. Re: DT's recent 'speech' about The Iran Situation:

 

Apart from saying that the Strait of Hotmus will open up naturally one day....

 

"He thinks he’s Superman. And of course, that’s fine when you jump off the building. It’s just a problem when you hit the ground."

PLEASE let him try that. Even from the roof of the white house.

You do realise that's something made up by Trump because his fragile ego can't accept that the majority of people on earth think he's an absolute c**t?

[Kyle Communications]

Well all I see is people losing their minds over a guy who only wants for his country to be the best. How you get there of course is the methods you use.

Why dont you point all your agression and comments and pontifications to the dickheads who lead our country down into the shi#t chute we are heading into. We are a Island..we dont have nutjobs on any of our borders than can just walk in. We have done our best over the past 30 plus years ( thanks to keatings globalization push) to defang and deindustrialize to a point now where we are a joke. We used to be self sufficient in power and oil and manufacturing pretty much anything we wanted. Exported all around the world and had a balance of trade far in excess of the  situation we have in this country currently. Now we are a weak pissy shadow of our former selves. Both political parties are responsible for this terrible decline the problem is they are still in that mindset. We need someone to come in and reshape us. I am not saying thats Trump but we need someone with a big set of khunas or boobies..I dont care who it is just someone with the conviction that Trump seems to have. Not his runaway mouth but his drive and vision for a better country.

If that makes me a racist or a woke hater in your eyes then so be it.Thats your opinion !...I have a thick skin and sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Oh and I am aloowed to still have a opinion dont I...I mean if I offend you with what I have said..then good...its not illegal to offend anyone...yet. well the current govt seems to want to try to even take that away from us.

What ever happened to common sense and critical thinking to run your country. We have the resources here to be one of the wealthies countrys in the world and give the population here a lifestyle that could rival anywhere in the world. Wether you are born here or immigrated here I dont care. If you have immigrated here dont bring your shit here or try to convert what we are or the way we want to live. We are Australians..well we used to be...sometimes I really wonder who or what we will become in the future as I can not currently see any path forward to a better country under our current and ever former numbskulls

 

Now you have a opinion in my view and I ont or probably wont be offended by whatyou say. I will listen and make up my own mind of what I keep on board what you say or discard it into the rubbish bin of ideas..be they sane or insane

The problem with Trump is that beyond quoting a slogan, he has no vision that he can articulate as to how to achieve what he allegedly wants for the country. On the other hand, it's very clear what he wants for himself - power, respect or fear (doesn't matter which), and money. His personality is that of a liar and cheat, and the energy and drive he has is all aimed at his own political survival and personal enrichment. As for Australia, if we had an outstanding and far-sighted politician who had a clear vision for improving the country and making it more self-sufficient that made sense to the voting population, he/she would likely be given a chance to implement their agenda.

That's right, but we won't get such a far-sighted politician from the ALP or the Coalition.

[facthunter]

Trump wants to Increase his Wealth and Power and thrives on telling whoppers and getting revenge on anyone who doesn't worship Him or throw money. No-one in Australia  comes close to his embarrassing incompetence. He will try to avoid the Mid term elections as He Looks like losing.  When He's gone the  book will be written If the world survives his chaotic, risky and deadly Interventions. Nev

 What rock are you living under GON? We have NO idea what he will try Next and Neither does HE.  He's FAKE. To Him the whole thing is a Game.  He spends 1/2 his time Playing Golf . The other 1/2 playing GAMES with the World and feeding his insatiable EGO.. Nev

I can't see any racism or anti-woke in what you wrote in your first paragraph. In fact I nod my head in agreement. I see no reason in what you wrote to be offended. 

 

Actually, I see what you wrote as a lamentation for lost opportunities. A cry of despair for any sort of recovery. "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani" translating to "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" 

[facthunter]

 But they will return soon and they Know that. They are NOT fools.   What Trump does is NOT Rocket Science  and HE doesn't read Books.  Maybe that explains a lot?  Nev
