peaceout I seriously doubt Trump is a fan of RNJ (religious nut job) Billy Graham...Trump's not religious at all (remember TWO Corinthians lol?). He pretends to be in front of his base. He'll pretend to be anything that gets his cheers. Where did u hear that?

John Weaver‏ @JWGOP
The Republican conduct during this hearing, so far, gives dramatic cause for a special select committee and special prosecutor.

(John weaver is a republican who helped with john McCain's campaign)

I am absolutely incredulous as to why this man is still here. He is just a revolting example of a human being. He incites hatred and division. I am no fan of Theresa May but at least she isn't an embarrassment on a global scale.
I read that a significant proportion of Trump voters were the educated middle classes. How can they not now view him with anything but disdain?

Speaking of national embarrassments, I see BoJo is off for talks in the US.

The BBC report says he won't be bringing up the GCHQ accusations but a little part of me is really hoping he slips up and gets a sly dig in somehow Wink

SanFranBear · 21/03/2017 10:43

I work in financial services and the investment side of the business has done some considered thinking into what Trump could mean for global economics and stability. It makes for good reading (if a little dry) but in brief:

Inflation looks set to rise but with unemployment where it currently is (just 4.7%) this is about time so that the fiscal stimulus Scrotus keeps banging on about can actually happen.

However, if he follows through on just two of his 'promises' - increasing tariffs leading to trade wars and deporting vast number of immigrants - he will destabilise the US economy which could lead to stagflation

peaceout I still don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth (not that I like BG, he's a RNJ and promotes IMO hateful agenda). But I can guarantee he could give 2 craps about him, regardless of what spews out of his mouth.
You can also find old clips (late 90's) of Trump blasting David Duke, the same guy he now won't denounce (Trump was voting as a Democrat back then). Trump is also the same guy who donated money to the Clinton Foundation back when HRC was Senator of NY, and who invited Bill & Hillary to his 3rd wedding. There is no real ideology with this guy, except he'll like whoever is nice to him at the moment, or whoever is padding his pocket.
Do you think he gave a shit about Putin before his financial entanglements with Russia or before Putin began actively helping his campaign?
That's it. That's all there is to him.
