Congatulations Mr President.

Post by zcar12 » Wed Nov 09, 2016 1:27 pm

So The Donald won the race for President of the good old USA. Maybe at last we can get some change that we can believe in. It has occurred to me that in these crazy times, anything is possible. Since The Donald and Alan Sugar both did the Apprentice, I wonder if we can look forward to Alan Sugar becoming British Prime Minister. What do you think?

I'll pass on Sugar as PM, but I agree that Trump will be a breath of fresh air for the world. The "establishment" has been rather too cosy for too long.

He was still the slightly less bad one out of two very, very bad candidates though.

Polictics isn't really a good subject for a car Forum but in the interest of freedom of speech I'll say this. Many countries in the world are ruled by sexist, racist, arrogant, tax dodging, power crazy lunatics, but by and large they are insignificant on the world stage if not to their own people.
But when the most powerful country on earth is ruled by a sexist, racist, arrogant, tax dodging(and proud of it) power crazy lunatic then that has to be a bad day. Its even worse when his party hold power in both the house of representatives and the senate, we can only hope some of those republicans grow some balls and keep a rein on this idiot.

Not a lot to be honest, if this was the best America could do from 320 million people then there is a really strong argument for allowing Presidents to run for 3 terms. Clinton does at least know about the political world , would have been constrained by a Republican House and Senate and less likely to push the button. Stevie Wonder has said, and this is his words, 'Voting Trump to run America is like asking me to drive a car'

Given the standard of driving exhibited by the Americans in my neck of the woods, i thought they had all been to the Stevie Wonder School of Driving! :shock: :lol:

Back to President Elect Trump though, i think he will be a welcome change in America. The way i see it he didn't run for the fancy house, private jet, the money or any of the usual trappings of a president. Also his election campaign was self-funded, unlike Hilarys.

Once the people that didn't vote for Trump get used to the fact he is president, i think they will come round to it and i honestly think he'll do the USA a lot of good. I hope i don't have to eat my words in the future though! :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

I don't know Tom, not seen any to ask! All of the US people (both Forces personnel and families) seem to be keeping a low profile at the moment, not even as many Yank-Tanks on the road as normal for some odd reason. :shock: :?: :?

When I read that I thought about a film where an American bus stops, the door opens and there sits Ray Charles in the drivers seat, complete with sun glasses and a big grin on his face. I winder if the film was tilled " The Blues Brothers". My memory is not so good these days.

Sorry if I offended anyone by posting about a political subject. Dave, you are right again.
