What happens if Trump wins?

I know the comments Trump has made about blocking Muslims from the USA, and building a wall between the states and Mexico. But what will the world look like if he becomes president? People seem to be afraid of his success and suggest we 'should push the button now' or that he will be assassinated. Surely he comments are to stir up media interest?

Ahhh Snoop Dog, the bastion of decent morals and intelligent political debate.

It is similar with Corbyn against the 172. The 172 have the media, the Establishment, the Lords, the Ladies and the luvvies. Corbyn only has the millions of Corbynistas.

Claig, the American people, according to the polls have consistently and expressively been saying Clinton.

If Trump wins in November, it will be by of those flukes that has happened occasionally during the campaign.

claig · 07/08/2016 15:20

Yes, the rich, the powerful, the famous, the influential, Wall Street, the elite and the Establishment back Hillary.

Trump only has the people at his rallies and his supporters among the ordinary people to rely on. He can't count on support from the elites, they dislike him.

Right

14 rappers that endorse Clinton, from Snoop Dogg to whoever I don't know:

I imagine Clinton's deleted emails are mostly ...

"I'd like the white wine at tonite's State dept. dinner, please."
and
"Do you like the blue or red dress better on me, Chelsea?"

and other scintillating decisions.

'Celebrity endorsements are never worth paying much attention to'

I think they do tend to help which is why Labour always use figures like Eddie Izzard and Steve Coogan and the Establishment always uses Sir Bob Gumdrop.

Hillary definitely has more celebrities backing her, she even has half the Republican Establishment backing her as well as the media, but we will have to see if that is enough to beat Trump coming polling day. It all ultimately depends on what the American people want.

Kaija · 07/08/2016 15:00

You're quite right. Celebrity endorsements are never worth paying much attention to. And by the same token Clint Eastwood et al can fuck right off as well.

claig · 07/08/2016 14:53

'Imagine how long we would be here if we had to list all the celebrities and public figures who have warned against Trump'

Absolutely, we know Hollywood is for the Democrats, it always is. Trump just has the people.

Kaija · 07/08/2016 14:50

All four of them! Imagine how long we would be here if we had to list all the celebrities and public figures who have warned against Trump... But I suppose those would be the "elites"

claig · 07/08/2016 14:48

And then there are the famous Stump for Trump Sisters, Diamond and Silk. They probably have to clear all their video scripts with Putin before they stump for Trump.

claig · 07/08/2016 14:45

'Anyway, between the DM journos and Putin's moles, it's a minefield, yes.'

And Azealia Banks as well, and Loretta Lynn and Kirstie Alley and Clint Eastwood, they all support Trump.

Lweji · 07/08/2016 14:40

OTOH, no self respecting Putin agent would be too obvious. Unless it was a double bluff. Confused

Anyway, between the DM journos and Putin's moles, it's a minefield, yes.

Kaija · 07/08/2016 14:34

And to think there was a time on here when all we had to worry about was people trying to sell us pushchairs...

Lweji · 07/08/2016 13:50

Kaija

I've long been aware of that and have posted about it on MN.
And about my suspicions too. :)

claig · 07/08/2016 13:47

The former head of the CIA said on Fox that he thinks a number of foreign intelligence agencies will have hacked Hillary's emails and have them.

A National Security Agency whistleblower has said that he thinks the NSA has got all of Hillary's emails (including the 33,000 deleted ones)

"Binney floated that someone at the NSA could be behind the Democratic National Committee hack that embarrassed Democrats last week
The motive would be to get back at Clinton for leaking 'Gamma material' - the most highly sensitive material - via her private email server"

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3720049/NSA-whistleblower-says-spy-agency-Hillary-Clinton-s-deleted-emails-government-database.html

It all really depends on what comes out in the next 3 months and that depends on who is protecting whom etc.

SwedishEdith · 07/08/2016 13:46

Kajia, yes, I've often wondered about the times that some people post at when seemingly UK based. This applies to all political opinions and lobbyists.

"“First thing in the morning, we’d come in, turn on a proxy server to hide our real location, and then read the technical tasks we had been sent,” he said."

Lweji · 07/08/2016 13:38

It would be naive to think that the Russians haven't been trying to hack or hacking US government and candidates accounts. Either the government agencies or proxies.

In fact, it almost makes me think that Putin could have something on Trump, giving that The Donald is so pro-Vladimir.

Kaija · 07/08/2016 13:32

Before we get bogged too far down in a discussion of trump's iq, it might be worth reminding ourselves that not everyone one encounters on Internet forums are here for the chat.

helenatroy · 07/08/2016 13:13

Perhaps trump thinks IQ stands for ignorance quota!

Chippednailvarnishing · 07/08/2016 12:54

Azealia Banks isn't known for her intellect.
Mind you neither is Trump.

JudyCoolibar · 07/08/2016 12:16

We all know Trump has an exceedingly high IQ

Just another of his lies, I'm afraid. Like the tax returns, he's strangely reluctant to produce evidence.

SpecialAgentFreyPie · 07/08/2016 11:34

It's funny how people buy his I'm better than anyone and you, but I'm just one of you, not like other millionaires or politicians

I know! It's completely hypocritical yet his fans are oblivious to his contrary bullshit

TheDowagerCuntess · 07/08/2016 11:20

Harlem-based black rapper, Azealia Banks, gives Trump a ringing endorsement

So what...? Am I missing something?

Random 'black rapper' endorses Trump. Is this the best he can do, in terms of 'black' (African American?) support...?

If you're reduced to naming names of his puddle of 'black' support, that says it all, surely.
