Trump trumping all over everything

[Catherine]

Quote:He came up somehow today at lunch and it was suggested that perhaps people didn't think he would actually follow through on everything he said, like a lot of politicians don't, as the things he says he wants to do are very extreme. Ironic the one person whom you don't wish to be a man of his word, is.

I did fear he would do what he said. He will do it even if it turns out to be the absolute wrong thing to do. He is not a reasonable man.
How did this happen?

Quote:Well something cannot be right. It is a 'moot point' whether Mr Trump will cause great 'embarassment' diplomatically, if he makes a State visit to the UK!
Now that is something I have never heard of. For there to be any doubt about a World Leader making a State visit....something has to be terribly wrong.
The guy is supposed to be elected....he is the President of the United States, and this country isn't even sure if he should make a State visit or not! (What??!)

It is unheard of for a US president to be unwelcome in England(and a great many other countries)

The Canadian Government did a cabinet shuffle to prepare for having to deal with Trump.

Quote:I can only hope Trump doesn't get reelected and he doesn't do too much damage while we are stuck with him. At this rate is seems like he will be impeached before his 4 years are up and I worry about that as well. Pence is worse.

Libby I feel for you. I know the state you live in is pro Trump. It must be hard for you to be there and see how much damage is going to take place.
Dare we hope for impeachment? They need to get rid of Pence first like they did with Spiro Agnew before they got rid of Nixon.

Trump is far worse than Nixon. He has done more damage in a week that we ever thought possible. His executive orders are not thought out so they are creating complications he didn't foresee.

I will say I am proud of the companies that are putting up money to help people effected  by Trump's orders.


There is going to be some extreme racism because racists feel empowered now.

There will be hunting and logging permits granted in fragile ecosystems.
You can count on pipelines and strip mining happening. Companies will go back to dumping industrial waste in rivers and streams even if they are sources of drinking water.
Unless something happens we are going to see destruction on a scale we never imagined.
Unless he quits after the first week and I doubt he will do that.
