I don't understand what Trump has done wrong.
If you have the required paperwork to get into the states, they will let you in, why shouldn't he stop people going in willy nilly the way we have done it for years.
Apparently 350,000 went into the states yesterday, what exactly is the problem ???

The Mighty Donald loves causing a bother and that is all he is doing to look good. When he does not get his way he will find a small point for backing out of agreements leaving the customer to pay the bills and pick up the pieces. Take a look at history with Casinos and golf courses where he could not change planning regs and investors were left with the bills.

Bringing jobs back to the US will be done by dropping business taxes leading to increased company profits but also investment in computerisation rather than people power jobs.

But will protesting in Rotherham help anything?

It's all bollocks really.

Every adult walking the face of this country who has had the benefit of having at least one parent raise them, will know fundamentally, even if they are the thickest demographic going, that you cannot have everything.

What sweets do you want? Maltesers or Midget Gems? No you can't ****ing have both. Pick one or you get none.

What do you want NHS or unlimited refugees? No you can't ****ing have both.

It is that simple.

He is a man of contradictions and one of the best blame shifters in the world. The protests I believe are mainly against a travel ban, but the contradiction is that Christians from the countries he has nominated can travel but not Muslims.

Having a love in at Rotherham probably will achieve nothing but make the people who do it feel good.

The order was compiled by the Obama administration, Obama has previously banned Iraqi travel to the US for 8 months.

At no point in the order does the word 'Muslim' or 'Ban' appear, it is a temporary travel suspension for residents of certain countries.

The left wing media are pushing this to be anti-Muslim because he made a pledge during his campaign, which he later reneged on.

Maybe the lefties are doing it there, but between his statements and tweets the word ban was used by him which maybe conflicts with the legalise of the Government Order, but they were his spoken words which is possibly leading to the confusion.

So people are protesting because they are confused, not because of the facts?

That sums up my take on it too.

Don't get me wrong I don't think the guy is a nice man by any means but if these people insist on protesting, perhaps they should put their efforts into something more worthwhile, campaign for Cannabis use for medicinal purposes, to be legalised worldwide.

To put it to bed regarding the ban, he made a big show of signing it on TV etc, but it just covered the countries without exceptions not allowing for those who have been cleared already. Any protests against it outside the US is pointless as you say but solidarity brother, solidarity.

He's an absolute disgrace and so are the Labour party for backing and supporting him.

This is the very man who when asked 5 times refused to condemn the IRA terror attacks and classed Hamas as his friends.

He condemns the British Army, though.

He's an embarrassment mate, innit. I am more than happy for him to be sitting in that chair, he's unelectable and I think this country needs a sustained period under one party as long as possible, so as long as he's there, he's keeping things as they are.

He's a walking disaster and it's only a matter of time before he's shamed for something else.

I bet his sofa stinks.

He's a total pissflap.
 
Trump would well to study The Queen's actions on his state visit here. When the Saudi king did his visit she made a point of driving him around Balmoral knowing that women are not allowed to drive in his country.

To be fair I am more than happy with May at the minute I like the way she takes her time to think things through and not just blab any **** to keep the other w ankers happy sort of a nice Maggie May.<laugh>

When Maggie Thatcher was in power, more people were leaving this country than coming in.

If Teresa May can match that, then I will love her forever and ever.

I hold an instinctive dislike for the new President of The USofA, and I'm finding it hard to understand why.

If you strip out the headline grabbing bullshit from what he says you get policies like----

Don't let Terrorists into our Country.
Keep tight control of our borders.
Stop illegal immigration.
Get industry to return the jobs it exported abroad back home for the benefit of our people. Use the Tax Laws to MAKE this happen.
Appoint people to the cabinet and, when a place comes up, The Supreme Court, who think like he does.
Tear up those Treaty's and agreements that are detrimental to our economy and our country.
Stop providing the defences for most of the Free World, or at least let those countries who benefit, contribute.

According to opinion polls in The UK after the Brexit Vote, some of those were very popular here too.

From a purely American point of view, I can't argue against that lot.

So why does he get right up my nose?
Is it his arrogant manner?
His pettiness when he is disagreed with?
The fact that I can hardly believe a word he says?

I think it may be as simple as he has no CLASS at all.

So is he going to be an embarrassment top HM?
I doubt it, she's met worse AND she has been married to Phillip for nearly 70 years.
