Fuck you cnuts must have black souls to wish death upon him ,,
You never met him ,you never will ,,so what has he done to you that’s so bad that you wish him death ?

and funnily he released his own bible.

Yep! Ironic, when you consider that he was utterly desperate for election funds at the time.

Let's play a little game of "Geoffrey Robertson's Hypothetical" that I've had with mates sitting around a fire in the bush with a few beers & passing joints around:

If you had access to a time-machine, what would you do with it?

If you had a CLEAR shot of who you knew to be Adolph Hitler before he came to power...would you take it?

Idi Amin?
Pol Pot?
Saddam Hussein?
Robert Mugabe?
Josef Stalin?
Mao Zedong?
Augusto Pinochet?
Benito Mussolini?
Francisco Franco?

The list goes on.......

I'm going to leave this where it sits right now.

Pontius Pilot ?

Judas ?

I said this ages ago but “what if” Hitler had got into art school? Would he have been so bitter against the Jewish people that he turned to politics. Would his art have been a healthier outlet for his beliefs instead of his words that led to propaganda that led to extremism.
Just a thought regarding the time travel idea and how we can learn from the past to maybe look at current events and peoples in a different light.
No one is perfect. We all have the ability within to turn in monsters.

PS. Please don’t think I’m excusing him and the holocaust. It’s just a thought

I have done the maths for you: Canada and Mexico have 2.5 times more radical Marxist Fascist Lesbians as China.

I stumbled across this on Fuckbook this morning:

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:
"A few things spring to mind.
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.
Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.
And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.
He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.
He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
'My God… what… have… I… created?
If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

Not me. I quite like the amount of funny memes about him. Another 4 years of some of the most hilarious memes is something to look forward too.
I hope Ivanka thinks so too.

Trade wars take time to reflect long term impacts. Let's have a look at the war in 4 years time, not just a single battle.

Disingenuous to believe long term trade impacts will be favourable. Especially for consumers.

I have an accountant and I have a weak grasp of economics so definitely not an expert. But Canadian and Mexican goods will have tariffs but now that’s offset buy a lower cost of goods. Holiday makers and American manufacturing will be happy too.

American exporters won’t be overjoyed.

TLDR a strong USD is good for a lot of Americans.
