Don't ask me to explain why but their body language seemed to be in a sort of comfortable harmony when they stood beside each other in June or whenever it was. And I think he quite likes all of that pomp and ceremony... as someone who likes being the centre of attention would.

He's a cross between a court jester and a village idiot so she would love him. Probably lets him run round the grounds with the corgis.

Yes... and also the fact that he has just a touch of olde worlde charm (probably brutally drummed into him from the NY Military Academy) despite his apparently frightening unpredictability in this day and age.

The American public went for someone who on paper said he'd pay attention to those who've been left behind by globalisation etc. There's a problem with that, but Trump isn't the solution. He's just in it for himself and cheap, foreign labour etc is exactly what he wants. You could argue he's part of the wake up call everyone needs on this, but I think that, on balance, he'll do more damage to the political system and society than he's worth. Time will tell.
At least the Constitution will get rid of him after another term, should he get back in.

Correction, the American public voted for Trump not because they felt 'left behind' by Globalisation ( that's a much too benign a colour to paint with).  No, the voters who voted for Trump did so because they are outrightly antagonistic against the very concept of Globalisation.

Not really true is it....

It is true.  His voters reject Globalisation, they don't feel left behind by it - they reject it.  It's a scam and a socialist one at that in their eyes.  

Make America Great Again, isn't only a slogan.  It's what got him elected because it says America has been had (even by Republicans like the Bushes, Romney and McCain, none of whom are much liked by Trump's core supporters) - according to Trump supporters, America was being set up for a major fall, and some notable Americans themselves have been implicated in the minds of those voters.  Let's not pretend none of you have head the cries of Treason in the air.  You have and if just didn't focus on Trump.  Others have been named.
Make America Great Again is a twofingered salute to Globalists, whether they are the Foreign or domestic variety.

You missed the point (deliberately, or otherwise) in what I was saying. Never mind...

But yeah, the fact he got elected in the first place does make you wonder how & why any other potential candidates are so unelectable. Where are the younger rising stars in both parties, that should be shaking up the establishment?

The auld boy with the comb over has shaken the establishment so much it's crumbling.  So not a lot of compromised, easily manipulated, ''chosen' young candidates are getting the chance to swim.  For it is so, that the Establishment was choosing the young 'rebels' as much as it was choosing the old conventionalists.  It's simple logic that to control everything, you must control both sides of any debate.  Reality TV.  Scripted opposition.

The American voters have decided to go for a real political maverick.  It'll be 40 or 50 years before another President even comes close to the shaking-up of the establishment that Trump is currently engaged in.  Proof?  World wide media and political meltdown just at the mention of his name.  

Four more years please, Donald.  I'm enjoying the show.

Are you enjoying the increase in racism, hate crime, erosion of minority rights etc? It's all jolly good fun isn't it?

Examples please.

I agree, lots more racism against whites, and hate crimes against trump supporters. Look at Antifa, as well as the increase in hate crime hoaxes. A product of the Democrats and their race baiting.

Yep, it's fun watching a smart man play with fish in a bowl and see them melt under the pressure to keep coming up with the trash that he eats for breakfast anyway.

Well, I suppose if you like white supremacists to feel emboldened...

By what measure? What is your data source for this? Trump is a huge Israel supporter and of the jews in general, I guess that falls right in line with the white supremacist worldview...

Trump is a huge believer in trying to get the Jewish vote, but that's a different thing entirely. The problem is any evidence I present, you will dismiss as unsubstantiated opinion. But even a rudimentary search flags up e.g. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/challenged-trump-administration-antisemitism

Trump's madly in love with 'Bibi', that's obvious. It's quite embarrassing.

Ok, please point to me where in this article where there is an actual accusation of anti-Semitism against Trump? There is an evidence free smear against some guy called Stephen Gorka. And there was an omission in a press release, which was amended. Oh and Charlottesville where Trump condemned Nazis by name. This is some truly compelling stuff there.

No actual statements Trump has said about Israel or the Jews, you'd think for a supposed idiot racist who never shuts up, you'd have something on him. But alas not.

Didn't Trump once say something like - I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and the-goon would still vote for me?
Pointless arguing with someone who doesn't believe facts.

Then why provide it? I've never heard of it so can't comment.

So I've had a read, now I may have missed something but I don't see any actual erosion of rights. It seems that the majority seems to be a roll back on red tape and removing special privileges. I don't see any rights afforded by the bill of rights being affected. maybe you can find one.

BTW, You do not have a right to join the military, if you aren't fit (mentally, physically, emotionally), you don't get in.

Show me a fact.

for example, a fact is record LOW black, Hispanic, female unemployment.

So there's absolutely no reason why transgender people should have a blanket ban on them joining the military is there? Unless you think every single one of them is either mentally, physically or emotionally unfit. Is that what you think?

Prove to me with facts that this is a result of Trump's administration. Prove it wouldn't be even lower if it weren't for him.

There are racially stereotypical quotes from Trump in that article. That is part of anti-Semitism.

Why don't you? Why should I have to prove your point? I think he has helped improve the economy, if you think otherwise persuade me.

Hmm, you are using an article that defends Ilan Omar when it comes to anti-Semitism. But ok let's do this, I'll breakdown this article.

1. It's quite an uncharitable framing of perhaps a slip of the tongue. Weighted against all the pro- Israel, jew things he says, I won't buy it.
2. They are good with money, Jew are overrepresented in finance etc. Clearly it was a joke, and meant as a compliment to the jews, who have despite a tough history been very successful in American life. Again a very uncharitable reading,
3. False, he has.
4. See point 2, jews do very well in finance. Those ppl, who happen to be jewish (Soros helped the Nazi in WW2, so not a great jew), are globalists, Trump is anti-globalist. That was his platform. To claim it was anything other anti-globalist is dishonest.

I look forward to your rebuttal.

You made a point about the economy but you've no idea of the economic forces behind it and instead have decided it's down to Trump, without having, or providing, any evidence. But apparently I have to provide evidence, even though you don't? Why is that?

The thing about Trump is that a lot of people don't care about the racism, sexism etc. But at least some say they don't care, rather than those who try to pretend that it somehow doesn't exist, with increasingly convoluted and ridiculous arguments (like your points above).

E.g. Trump boasts of grabbing women's p*ssies because he has the power to get away with it, and says that he wouldn't r*** an ugly woman. And a lot of women say, yeah, whatever, I still think he's great for whatever reason and will vote for him. They don't care that he's morally repugnant because they think he will bring them other benefits. And then other people say - hey, women support Trump, he can't be sexist. Is there really any point wasting any more than a modicum of time and effort arguing with these people?

Is Trump racist - yes I think he is. Is he sexist - yes I think he is. Does he hold views that I think are morally repugnant - yes he does. Is he himself anti-Semitic - unsure, but he uses it as a tool when he thinks it is useful and is undoubtedly emboldening white supremacists, who are, among other things, anti-Semitic.

I think his policies of removing red tape, cut taxes on the middle class and corporations, threatening tariffs on US companies that move production outside the US have led to the improvement in the economy. His economic policy is very different to Obama, and also different to Bush before. So this sudden change in economic policy has coincide with an economic revival, i'll put 2+2 and get 4.

Now you. Please give my your opinion on how this economic improvement has been in spite of Trump.

Ok, so we agree Trump isn't anti-Semitic. Great, glad I've brought you around on this. It's great to find some common ground.

So how exactly how is he emboldening white supremacists? We've established that isn't via anti-Semitism. This the initial statement you have made without facts or evidence.

2+2 = 5 perhaps

As for the white supremacy thing - facts won't change your mind on it. I could present 100 facts and 50 you would say are not facts, and the other 50 you'd say aren't important. My theory is you're hoping to make America white again.

I've read your link, and fair play, Obama certainly had a few good years. I think I've underestimated the strength of the economy under him, and perhaps overestimated Trump's. Possibly because 2016 wasn't a great year and 2017, 2018 and 2019 so are have been.

Maybe the better explanation is somewhere in the middle, that a national economy the size of the US is such a juggernaut, not even the president has that much influence over it.

Appointing a white supremacist as the CEO of his presidential campaign and once elected appointing him as a Chief Strategist might just have given some other white supremacists the confidence boost they were really looking for. I bet it put some pep in their step.

If you don't think "“They don’t look like Indians to me.” or "Trump talked about how he didn’t want black people handling his money" are examples of racism, then there is no hope for you.

I wonder what it was about the 5 BLACK men known as the Central Park 5 that made Trump so convinced of their guilt?

Ok, give me one then! All you are doing giving me a link, and saying "there, read that". I've already debunked some of your links and toy haven't refuted anything so I guess you have conceded those points. So please give me something in your words. Which minority, which right.

Lol, want him to wipe your backside next time you take a dump too?

Why can't you formulate your own opinions? Do you need the media to tell you what to think?

I believe you'll need definitive proof that I can't formulate my own opinions. Substantiate that claim, boy. I want solid proof.

So no quote, just implication on your part. Ok,

Why does he need to quote? He's citing the now infamous mistake on Trump's part in the Central Park Five case.

You are assuming he thought they were guilty because they were black. Where is your proof that is the case?

Where's your proof that he didn't think they were guilty because they were black? I allege that he did - refute my allegations if you like. I want actual facts - no supposition, opinion or conjecture. Just the facts.

Seriously? You can't be bothered to even read it? Educate yourself, don't ask me to spoon-feed you like a baby. In the long term, you'll be better off for it. Or stay ignorant - your choice. Ultimately it makes no difference to me.

You haven't debunked anything, you just think you have. You probably also think you're the second least racist person in the world.

Give me one minority right Trump has eroded

One fact/metric how he has emboldened white supremacists. As an aside how many are there? a few thousand?

Appointing a white supremacist as the CEO of his presidential campaign and once elected appointing him as a Chief Strategist might just have given some other white supremacists the confidence boost they were really looking for.  I bet it put some pep in their step.    

Is this the same guy who worked for a Jewish news outlet? Staffed, by mainly jews. Started by a jew. What's your evidence that Steve Bannon is a WS? I'm not going just accept these accusations without evidence.

Please define it in your words.

I'll go one better and get you a proper definition. Let's take Wikipedia's, if that's OK with you. You're a big fan of facts, and all.

"White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them. White supremacy has roots in scientific racism, and it often relies on pseudoscientific arguments."

What is this? Who are the people that are giving their opinion on trump? Do you have a quote in context that is actually racist?

People from Nigeria not wanting to 'go back to their huts', will that do?

The article tells you who the people are.

I'll give you points for your approach, at least. Let's see. You ask for evidence from everyone else, but supply none yourself. You want links from everyone else, but supply none yourself. Asked a question regarding a definition, you ask the questioner their definition.

Look like BS, smells like BS. You'd be a good politician.

'The Washington National Cathedral’s religious leaders rebuked President Donald Trump for his racially divisive attacks on a prominent African-American lawmaker, an unusual step for an institution known for staying above the political fray.

'In a statement Tuesday, the leaders called Trump’s rhetoric “dangerous” and said it amounted to a “call to action” for white supremacists, warning that “violent words lead to violent actions.”

'The leaders urged the American public to take a stand against “the bigotry, hatred, intolerance, and xenophobia that is hurled at us, especially when it comes from the highest offices of this nation.”

'More than half of registered voters now believe the president is racist, according to a poll Quinnipiac University released on Tuesday. That includes 80% of black voters, 55% of Hispanic voters and nearly six in 10 female voters.'

I'm not making a statement. I'm asking for evidence that Trump emboldened white supremacists, if you make the statement, prove it, defend it. I'm not going to just take as fact. What evidence do I need to supply? Trump isn't one? Well he has never called himself one or promoted it, so there's that.

What did Trump actually say? I don't care what others think of what he said, particularly activists who have an axe to grind. Bring up the primary evidence, the tweet, and we can go through it and figure out where exactly the racism is. You want to prove racism, go and do it.

Last time I checked it isn't racist to criticize a Politian that happens to be black.

Great thanks, mate. So it's an ideology that Trump has disavowed and doesn't agree with. Well that's cleared that up. Unless you have evidence to prove otherwise?
