Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Trump is a business man and will do what business men do, make business and money.
The biggest problem people such as the UK opposition leader have is that they do not know how to work, or even what that is, just something they vaguely heard of somewhere maybe in another country.
So confronted by a man who has worked, and bloody hard, they will attempt to bring him down by any means even to telling some of the biggest porkies you ever heard.
But men like Trump, and many others, will not be detered by such comments.
At the end of the day Trump will win by fair means or foul and if the American people benefit then so may all of the rest of us.
Our gov wants to bring down company tax to compete with other nations, something Trump said he will do over the next few weeks, but our opposition will not come to the party.
Today the reserve bank has come out and said if we do not cut we will be in danger of losing business to other countries.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
The Biblical Trump... Donald Trump is constantly bombarded concerning his spirituality, alleged Christian beliefs and so forth.
He was recently asked if he could quote any Bible verses.
He replied " Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Deport him and you do not have to feed him again". Trump 20:17.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Every day Pres.Trump is picking a fight with somebody, he is going "twitter" (messages using no more than 140 letters/characters/spaces) crazy, doing it in the middle of the night, during the day when ever. No clue as to who he is going to attack next:
Monday it was the judge that ruled against him and his immigrant policy, the judge was a Republican.
Tuesday he sent out a tweet that actor and former Governor of California Arnold Schwartzenegger who had replaced Trump as the host of a T.V. show, Claiming Schwartzennegger had terrible poll numbers and the show would be cancelled were his (Trump's) poll numbers were "huge!" Schwarzennegger replied "Seeing as you know so much about poll numbers let's switch jobs, you have mine and I'll have yours." By the look on his face Arnold was really angry.
Wednesday he had a go at the three judges deliberating on his appeal claiming they were politically biased. Two were Democrats and the third was a Republican.
Thursday he said the unfavorable verdict handed down proved his case.
Friday while he was chairing a meeting of the National Intelligence Committee, he tweeted that it was totally unfair that two nation wide clothing chains had canceled handling his daughter Ivanka's jewelry and clothing line. In the middle of a N.I.C. meeting?

Russian dossier on Trump gaining credibility with law enforcement
Last Updated Feb 11, 2017 10:21 AM EST
CBS News has learned that the 35-page dossier compiled by a former British spy is gaining credibility among law enforcement. Before he was sworn in as President, Donald Trump dismissed the document, but sources tell CBS News that investigators continue to vet it to see whether there is any truth to the allegations.
At issue is whether the Russian government gathered compromising information on the president during his years of doing business in country as a private citizen. The FBI is leading the investigation but several intelligence agencies are also involved. Typically an investigation of this scale would involve the sources and methods of the CIA and NSA. CNN first reported the sustained interest in the dossier by the intelligence community.
The dossier first came to the attention of U.S. officials several months ago, and it took time for it to circulate. A U.S. official familiar with the document’s origin says that even people who discounted it initially have begun to take it more seriously.
This is in part, government sources say, because of statements candidate Trump was making on the campaign trail. While the Obama administration was denouncing what it alleged were Russian efforts to influence the election through cyber attacks, Mr. Trump praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Ultimately, the dossier’s existence was confirmed when it was revealed that FBI Director James Comey briefed then President-elect Trump with a summary of its unsubstantiated allegations.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Hi Rod.
Being Trump has no Govt experience he is on a steep learning curve, hence his lashing out in all directions, but if you take what he has said and done so far he is at least trying to stick with what he told the American people he would do. There must be millions of Clinton supporters out there both in the public and the House of Reps and the courts of course, who will do anything to stuff him up long term. If you compare him to our Pm who has tried to remain aloof to everything but is now after twelve months of inertia and , under pressure to perform is trying to do things he never mentioned when at the ballot box, such is the difference between the uninitiated and the political animal.
Our Pm as the head of the Republican movement expected to become Governor General, that failed so he wanted to be PM now he has got that he finds it means a bit of work with no Knighthood at the end of it, I predict he will last about another five months.
Cheers Des

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Des, I hope he doesn't keep the button to the Bomb next to his alarm clock, set to wake him up for his early morning tweet, and half asleep push the wrong button.
I can't comment on your P.M. I just don't know enough. However, if you are right and if he goes, Trump will probably say he told him so on his infamous phone call with him, and take credit.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Todays news:
Aleck Baldwin, a movie actor has been playing Donald Trump in comedy skits on a T.V. show called "Saturday Night Live" and Trump has been having fits about it.
Yesterday a national newspaper in The Dominican Republic published a photo of Trump and Israeli President*Netanyahu, except they got a bit mixed-up with the photos.* Don't worry about the article, it's in Spanish, just check-out the photos.
The Dominican Republic have issued an apology.... President Trump said, "He*is not amused"—I think he stole that expression from somebody?

Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK could be moved from London to the Midlands, it has been reported.

If he is not speaking to the Houses of Parliament, it seems reasonable ?
The plans for a Trump rally include performances by cheerleaders from America’s National Football League, a reason to attend !
