I am not a fan of Trumps but if you think the alternative of Clinton was some kind of poster child for democracy and honest politics you are conveniently kidding yourself. There have been many allegations about Hilary Clinton’s connections to the Russians not to mention the history of her husband. Distasteful pair.
The real problem with politics in America and in Britain is the lack of a a serious choice. Who do we have - May or Corbyn. We are all forced to choose between the lesser of two evils and go with those whose general policies have more in common with our own.
‘You understands he dislikes Muslims and immigrants’ do you! Many Americans have, like most of Europe, become dissolutioned with the effects of Mass immigration and Islam on their countries. We are not talking a handful of people here but many millions of people. You can’t just dismiss them all as racists and bigots and refuse to look at the role Immigrants and Muslins have played in that - not if you want to be taken seriously.
You will never further your cause to convert people to your way of thinking with your pushy and downright rude and patronising tactics. Other people who have a different opinion to you can and do think for themselves and don’t have to listen to your constant insults. If anything your immature and unprofessional tactics are likely to have the opposite effect of what you desire. Politics is definitely not for you.

Let's have a look at what I said, shall we?
The first thing was that Trump has gone back on his campaign promises and thankfully for some of them, he hasn't kept his promise. The wall isn't happening any time soon, He hasn't managed to get rid of the affordable health care yet and Planned Parenthood is yet to be defunded and his insane plans for immigration haven't taken effect but most of his tax related policies have either stalled, been forgotten, or won't stand a chance of getting through congress. He promised to close the interest loophole on taxes but the tax bill is going back and forth in Congress and the Senate and it's not been mentioned at all, a broken promise.. One of the few promises he did manage to keep was to back out of an environmental deal because he is stupid enough to ignore the facts and believe Climate Change is not real.
The Tax Bill benefits the wealthy more than the middle and working classes of America, as previously mentioned, he has not closed down loopholes for b/millionaires as promised and they benefit far more from the bill then working classes especially when you consider cuts to pensions and Trump's ongoing war against free healthcare.
As for the comment I made about the lies, that's also a fact. As of November 14th 2017, Trump had made 1,628 false or misleading claims since becoming president, that time frame adds up to 298 days. No opinions here, just researched facts.
What has Hillary Clinton got to do with anything? She didn't win and like I said, people, while mad he won, aren't angry a year on that he won, they're angry at his actions in office. I don't know what's so difficult to understand about that.
Again, UK politics is irrelevant in a discussion about US politics.
If you want an example of a 'opinion piece' then look no further than your last two paragraphs which were nothing but assumptions, that's how YOU feel so you assume everyone else feels the same way. A flawed way of thinking. |
