I'd like to hear your opinions and thoughts on Trump's campaign and his statements made during his election speeches. If possible I'd like you to provide something eg a link, a twitter post to help inform us of why you decided to take this stance. 🙂 For me I personally despise the man. He's xenophobic, racist, sexist and much much more. Donald Trump requires Muslims to register Lying About New Jersey 9/11 Celebrations Birther Fantasy In Colbert Interview [twitter] [/twitter] Sexist comments More racial slurs Supports people who rough up black protesters Mocking disabilities Now the list goes on and on, and on a great many websites this was just a small selection of the things that helped influence my opinion on the man. Here are also some "great" quotes from him just for the 'laughs'. Donald Trump wrote: “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass." - Donald Trump Donald Trump wrote: “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” - Donald Trump Donald Trump wrote: "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.” - Donald Trump [twitter] [/twitter] Donald Trump wrote: “The other candidates — they went in, they didn’t know the air conditioning didn’t work. They sweated like dogs...How are they gonna beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.” - Donald Trump Donald Trump wrote: “I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-Eleven, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down” - Donald Trump

He's a racist, xenophobe and sexist. He has a point in wanting to make illegal immigrants to leave the country and reenter through legal channels but he's not doing it the right way, the hispanic community in the US is over 40 million people and he won't be able to make them leave, besides, all of them pay taxes, work in things the "normal" US citizen won't do and buy from american stores.. many businesses may close and government will receive less income. But i guess he won't change his point of view, that's why he gained so much attention in the past months. I'm sure the hispanic community will vote against the republicans (again).

Hilary is even worse. Sending classified emails on an open channel, getting american soldiers killed deliberately, commiting purjury, the list goes on and on. She is not to be trusted. Thats why im voting for the libertarian party this year. If only more people knew that there are other parties to vote for instead of just watching commercials for democrats or republicans.

Even in third world countries is the same thing. Libertarian party has no chances to win anyway. 🙁

I think it's funny that so many people call him an ideologue, even though his defining feature is a complete lack of a consistent platform.

I personally despise him for a number of reasons; although I don't like Hilary that much more He is homophobic and sexist; he is also a white supremecist (although tries to hide it), he treats and talks about women poorly, he lies so fucking much (so does Hilary though). He is a hypocrite that goes back on his word more than many, I mean, he was for the war in Iraq (although he says he wasn't) and not only that, but he was a Hilary supporter and now is so against her to the point they are rivals. Hilary is smarter and has a filter, she is in no way a better person tbh, she just tries to hide it from the public instead of spewing her shit all over the internet. Although unfortunately for her, her misdeeds end up being sprawled over the internet anyways. His views sicken me, and Hilary's deception does the same - they have perks though; he is a go-getter and he wants change, he will work to actually do something with his office although I do not agree with what he wants to actually do. Hilary is all talk and wants power, I don't see her doing much at all except for a few pretty shady deals - both of which will put the US in a worse light than it already is. Anyways, that's my view 🙂

Correction: Anglosphere politics in general are fucked. Except for New Zealand. Fuck those guys.

I voted Jill Stein.

From my point of view Jill Stein is just as shit as the other two. She's anti-vax and anti-nuclear, and generally seems to pander to the anti-science movement.

Despite that, I hope she does well (just don't win) to show that the 2-party system can be broken.

I don't know where you heard she's anti-vax, but she did an interview refuting this

[video=youtube][/video]

As for anti-nuclear, yeah she is against nuclear power, which I think she should change her mind on because it's actually much cleaner than fossil fuels. Although I understand her desire to push for more renewable energy instead

Not to mention nuclear power allows supply to be created quickly to feed a surge in demand from the power grid, which many renewable sources can't (you can't like up the wind power)

Well, the idea is to store surplus power for when there's a surge in demand.

Today, I went out and voted for Vermin Supreme.

I live in Illinois. Chicago will guarantee that our state will go blue, so I have no real reason to vote for the lesser of two evils. And I don't want to give either of them my stamp of approval, either.

So, I voted for Vermin Supreme. He's the only candidate with hardcore porn on his campaign homepage, you know.

All in One

Clean up your happening bunkers, folks; the shitstorm of the decade has arrived at last!

Welp,I guess this thread is gonna be "Opinions on the Incumbent President" for the next four years...

IMO, it's not so much Trump that I dislike; moreso the ideals of his supporter base. I mean, for Pete's sake, just watch this video.

Probably the best thing to come out of this election is the uncovering of the flagrant bigotry that plagues our nation. I didn't realize it myself until I saw average people still disgusted by gays and lesbians, still thinking transsexuals have mental disorders (or ought to off themselves), and fetishizing the vision of this ideal conservative paradise free of all the things that ail us today.

Ah well... For once I'm kinda thankful for political polarization: At least this means that the Dems are gonna rush to secure the legislative branch. I won't mind Trump being president, just so long as he stays the course and doesn't rush us into another decade-long war.

I love Trump and I want to be filled with American glory. The republican control of the senate scares me just a little bit on the other hand. Not sure he's going to stand up to the establishment nearly as much as he claims. I have a comfy view from over here in the Pacific luckily

Derfy

I'm hoping he will deliver on getting rid of NAFTA, re applying The Glass-Steagall Act, ending foriegn aggresion abroad, auditing the fed, and term limits for congress.
I assume he will be like every president though appealing to his platforms base and just doing the exact opposite or bending to the will of special interests or the people around him in his cabinet.
I can't wait to see him at the UN or the G20 though. Hopefully his gaffs will surpass Bush's. A man can meme, get George Soros out of the country. 😉
Also on what his "ideals" are I really think he is a genuine person, who loves America. As for what his "ideals" are regarding politics I think he just says things that people want to hear. Hopefully he isn't all talk.
BTW to all the SJW who are "shaking" and planning to move out of the country are overreacting imho. We'll see what the next 4 years are like, I really doubt he will be the worse president we have ever had.
