Well I guess we will see who is right. As he isn’t very good at telling the truth I’m not sure Trump will be right

'Anniedash' do you live in the U.S.? If not, how can you be so adamant that 'GameofPhones' is wrong?

Do you or game of phones live in the US? If not, how can you be so adamant that you are so right.

And even if you are right, which you’re not, it doesn’t matter. The public have voted. And they think you are wrong.

i find him fascinating, he's awful & people know that but they can overlook it because he really seems to know what people want.

Ignorant, bigoted, gullible, rudderless people, that is.

Right there with you, @Chinupandtitsout. Sky News live in the corner of my phone and I’m almost having to pinch myself.

I’ve been comforting myself with the thought that he can’t be elected again - but Lord knows where we’ll be by then …

The country depends on undocumented immigrants for labour. What will happen if they are all deported?

No it doesn’t.

And wages would go up for those remaining if undocumented migrants are deported. Not that this will happen, given the sheer size of the task.

Have you just landed from Mars OP. What exactly have you seen that is so shocking.

And in any case what is so shocking about wanting to secure your country’s borders? 8 million illegal migrants have come into the US on Biden’s watch. That is more shocking than anything Trump says.

It’s not a novel idea. Your reaction is giving ‘faux rage’.

Your "8 million" number is incorrect, Annie. Even cursory research finds the actual data. '8 million' refers to the amount of times Border Control came into contact with an immigrant, not the total amount of immigrants, illegal or otherwise.

What's he wanging on about today? Was it in sentences?

BarbaraHoward · 19/01/2025 23:59

So many pro-Trump comments can be responded to with the immortal words "grab em by the pussy", can't they.

I know nothing about politics, but his rhetoric was shocking. Those videos about illegal immigrants, the ludicrous claims he made… I’m in disbelief that this is happening.

He's got great "instincts" for what will get him noticed, and get people to vote for him. He's also a horrific, amoral, lunatic. It makes me worried for the human race.

What have I just seen:Trump

You’ve answered your own question.

I’ve been very into politics since I was about 12. I just can’t engage with this. Talk to me in December 2028.

Neolara · 19/01/2025 23:26

Anything in particular?

Orangejunpsuit · 19/01/2025 23:23

Isn't that totally normal for him surely?
