Would you vote for Trump? A quiz.

[Rodney Mills]

There has been a few comments re. Donald Trumps run for the presidency of the US. Now before you start calling us nuts, let me give you a little quiz on what Donald Trump is promising (this week) to do.

Now assume a candidate was running for prime minister of your respective countries and he promised to do this, how would you vote on each promise...yes or no?


1. Round up all—men, woman and children—illegal aliens, finger print each and ship them back to their country of origin.

2. Build a wall to separate your country from the neighboring country that lets in the illegals. You can interpret this as reinforcing security at each point of entry...sea and air ports...in the case of the U.K., additionally building a wall along the coastal areas most likely to receive clandestine illegals similar to Greece.

3. Refuse entry to all M...ims until a method has been determined to clear them of any possible threat to the country...an indeterminate time in the future.

4. Cancel 'The Affordable Care Act' or 'Obama Care' a blend of private medical coverage and government funded medical coverage for the poor and low earning workers, determined on a sliding earning scale, with higher earners paying full premium costs. Currently 20 million are enrolled. That's 20 million that had no medical insurance prior to the act. No description of a replacement program other than "It's going to be huge...you're really going to like it." (D. Trump's words.) View this as replacing NHS with some sort of privatization plan "that's huge and your going to like it."

5. Water boarding and other intense forms of interrogation should be used on I.S. terrorists even though it is against the UN protocol on torture. "As" Quote. "I.S. beheading our people."

6. "Climate change is just weather, and no way should our companies be imperiled and forced to pay. It would cost business companies so much and we don't know if it will work."

7. All Syrian seeking refugee status should be sent back and those, from the Middle East seeking asylum should be refused admittance.

8. The world would be a better and safer place were Khaddaffi and Saddam Hussain alive and in power

9. "We should bomb the hell out of IS, and take over their oil fields to deprive them of the money they get from selling their black market oil to Turkey."

10. Other than in the case of rape or incest, abortions would be illegal. (Most of the Republican candidates would even disallow rape and incest.)


If you agree with, say more than three, you would be a Donald Trump fan and vote for him.

Cappy, to use a very American expression, "I wouldn't vote for him to be dog catcher!"

[Ron B Manderson]

Are we too old to be called up for his ww3.
The man is a fool, and I just can,t make out the people who vote for him.
There was a cartoon with him shouting send them all back and a red Indian behind him saying when you leaving.
He tried the money ticket here in Scotland about his golf course up north. Poor soles player could see windmill far out to sea, and it may put them off. Edinburgh told him " on your bike matey" So I will take my golf hotel etc way then . Do you wish a hand doing it . was the reply.
God help American if the are fooled by him .
You can fool some of the people some of the time , but cant fool allthe people all of the time .
Beware Of false promises.

He will say anything you want to get in, hes a bloody con merchant, bully, and a a***hole kt

[Doc Vernon]

Would not give him a ray of light even if he was blind! Which he is!
Politicians ! Yuk! I vote for no one! Always make an error of some sort on ballot papers! LOL

[John Arton]

Dangerous he may be but what he is spouting is obviously striking at what a lot of Americans must be thinking but are too afraid of being called a racist or worse if they spoke openly of their views.
To me, looking at him from this side of the pond, his one big advantage is that unlike all other candidates he is a business man first and a politician 2nd, unlike the rest of the dolts, especially here in the U.K., who are career politicians who have never done a proper days work in their life, unless you count fiddling expense accounts as proper work.

Rodney unless one lives in the USA don't think many of us understand US politics. I don't even understand the Australian voting system and I have lived here 25 years, it was always first past the post in UK. However the US elections having to go through all the paraphanalia of first being elected to represent one of two parties is way beyond peoples imagination. The media give the impression whether right or wrong that the contestants have to spend millions to have to get there and to this aim receive the money for such from various big business institutes, so to most of us whoever gets in under those circumstances is going into power owing certain debts to such which will be expected to repay by favours. Donald Trump in this respect is a wild card, and may appeal to the electorate as being his own man and beholden to no one. To me it is up to the people of the US to decide only they are really aware of who they are voting for. Myself I would go along with Trump in his sayings in quite a few instances, and Hillary Clinton has a certain reputation of not always speaking the truth. Going on their various slogans I would be more inclined to lean towards Trump. He is not a professional politician for starters and hopefully is paying his own way. It is Americas dilemma and no doubt what will be will be. Cheers JS PS My thoughts however are probably similar to most Americans that when one goes to the polls one elects a certain leader, the Australian public I would assume agree with this, however the present Australian government had no hesitation and decided amongst themselves to discard the one who was elected by the people for one they thought had more charisma, this may be true, but out of the two past PMs of Australia, the present and the past, I would put more faith in the honesty of the previous PM. It is not the God given right of any government to choose a leader not elected by the electorate and not without a general consensus of the people, they are on a possible loss at the next election, and if the labour party had a leader with less dirty washing would stand a good chance of losing. Cheers JS

I would prefer Trump to Clinton. He may sound mad but is not afraid to say what so many Americans I trhink believe in.
Interesting article in yesterdays paper about Reagan, apparently almost as mad and it was his wife, who sadly passed away today, that kept him in line. He was classed as a maverick by many but became a good president. Trump maybe what the world needs right now to bring it back to some form of reality because if we continue in the current vein I consider some very stormy times ahead.

Monica Lewinsky says she is voting for Trump, as the last time a Clinton was in power it left a nasty taste in her mouth.
