This would have made sense if he actually was the POTUS...
Have none of you learned yet? You're all doing PRECISELY what he wants you to do. He's got the entire western world talking about him.

Embarrass him? If the entire western media can't embarrass him enough to stop him saying what many perceive to be outrageous comments, do you really think you and 0.1% of the population of the UK can?

Each and every time someone reacts, they play into his argument - there's too much political correctness in society. Every time he comes back from making yet another statement, he's bigger than ever before and the entire Democratic and Republican field is talking about 'what Donald said.'

The man is a genius.

He is a load of hot (and smelly) air.

It's a theory, but history shows that demagogues who remain unchallenged during their formative years have a habit of later becoming world-threatening dictators.

Trump is obviously a showman and confidence trickster (for example, he doesn't include all the rich Gulf Muslims buying his properties or staying in his hotels in New York) but doing and saying nothing whilst he rants is just not an option.

Amongst Republican activists. It's number 14 on that page people who support him should take note of. He hasn't a prayer of winning the national election and it would be a disaster for Republicans if he did become the candidate.
83,676 signatures.

One last heave. :smile:

That's a wonderful description of him.
If Trump was elected president would that mean the end of our special relationship?

:hat2:

I did think he was just playing games, but now it's clear that the games are dirty, serious and deeply racist. He is in fact a fascist in all but name. I'm amazed the Republicans haven't thrown him out of the party.

It's not too hard to imagine Cameron cosying up to him no matter how bad he gets.

Trump as President will have quite a hard time explaining why Gulf royalty and super-rich will still be allowed to jet in and out whilst 'lesser' Muslims must remain in their own countries.
How many MPs will turn up for any debate?

Often not many turn up, but for this one, I can imagine it might be quite a showing.

I imagine he probably brings too much money to the table to be thrown out. And your post reminds me, the other day I heard someone say Trump isn't principled enough to be a fascist, which I thought was interesting.

No he wont, when have politicians ever worried about truth? Wasn't it Goering who said "I will decide who is Jewish"?

What do you think would happen if they did?
Its hard to believe that 90,000 people in the UK support Political Correctness (Postmarxism). These people are the real threat to our society because they have absolute faith in their beliefs. Don't they realise that without free speech they would never have learnt about postmarxism in the first place?
