Missing the politics in the "pub"

Approval ratings are a general opinion poll, don't have much to do with voting etc... just a way to put a finger on the pulse. I was merely trying to show that no, the American public does not like him, or more accurately, approve of his performance.

Roughly 46% of the populace leans Democrat while roughly 39% lean Republican. The English system sounds similar in how you have described it.

Yes, if the Democrats run a repeat of last year Trump will undoubtedly be re-elected.
 
I hear in 2020 Trump is removing Mike Pence from the ticket and his new running mate will be this vladamir guy...
 


Victor Davis Hanson of Stanford. University’s Hoover Institure is interviewed about his new book The Case for Trump. Worthwhile
 
The problem with politics is that it is either about individualism or collectivism, but the collective is made up of individuals. In the end 'the selfish gene' probably prevails. 'United we stand, divided we fail' ?
 
Congrats to all ! .... we got more than 2 pages done and everybody being “Canadian Like” ( polite ) more fun this way .... I will admit to some baiting in past , no more of that from me ....
 
It is no good taking sides in politics when there is no need. Politically, I am pro-democracy and anti-authoritarian. I am neither anti or pro individualism or collectivism - both have their limitations. There is room for both and there is probably a balance to be maintained. I believe in individual freedom, but also that the village should have a voice. When I work for a boss, I do my best for the organisation. When I work for myself, I treat others fairly.
 
I liked things better as a young fella with no worries other than where we were riding to next day to fish ...
 
True he does that - call out "fake news." The irony - the sweet part- is that he swiped that phrase from the propagandists at CNN/MSNBC and made it his own.

The reason it stuck was the truth of it; when they used it, it was just polemics. When he used it, it was raging viral truth.

Let's let the man speak for himself.

"A Rigged System - They don’t want to turn over Documents to Congress. What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal 'justice?' At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved!" 2 May 2018

As for fake news:

"Wow, you are all correct about @FoxNews - totally biased and disgusting reporting." 1:41 PM - 10 Mar 2016
 
Bit confused with above , are they Trump quotes , sorry ....
 
Smart/brilliant doesn’t make you right or honourable .... just means you got above average IQ .... which does not necessarily lead to good judgement .... worked with all kinds of smart folks over the years who didn’t have a bit of common sense .... just sayin
 
Hillary the thief could have easily one. Trump only one as most folks hated the Clinton’s and the Clinton foundation. So now we have the village idiot who will most likely get his second term. If we can’t get the wall soon we’ll all be fucked and flooded with immigrants like France and Germany. Women can still safely walk the streets at night in the us, but that could quickly change.

Curious what your thought process is on this. I didn't like Hillary at all, but not because I thought she was a thief or because I hated the Clinton's, I think for most people she just came off as a bit arrogant and kind of unlikable, a pro politician.

There is a lot of research that goes against your claims about immigration and immigrants. Why do you think we will be flooded with crime/criminals? I work on job sites with immigrants from South America and Mexico frequently. They are always kind, respectful, and hardworking. I've never had a negative interaction in 10+ years.
Thanks.
