It is capitalism, venture capitalism. Richard Branson and the Barclays are two mahoosive cogs in that very British machine.

It is no coincidence that the majority of countries living in poverty are bogged down in superstition and primitive religious practice. Such cultures are a breeding ground for dictatorships and violence.

The West are not responsible for the ills of countries/continents still living in the past and refusing to move on. These people are often their own worst enemies and need to do more to help themselves otherwise nothing will ever change.

The West spend billions every year to help but change needs to come from within. Therein lies the problem.

the problem isnt religion as such, its the old testament and its a particulalry warped interpretation of the curan, whereas the new testament is infinitely more enlightened. Thats why the west is so much more civilised , we have a pretty great country built in large part on Christianity. Given a choice between Christianity and islam, Its Jesus all the way for me. But of course due to political correctness were not allowed to say that in the mainstream

sure about that?
  • His ex-wife, Ivana, said she was “violated,” by Trump during their marriage, and use the word “rape,” to describe a particular incident. She later said she didn’t use the word rape in a literal sense, but still says that she “felt violated.” Michael Cohen, special counsel at The Trump Organization, defended Trump by saying “You cannot rape your spouse.”
  • In response to unreported sexual assault in the military Donald Trump commented “What do these geniuses expect when they put men and women together.”
  • “It’s certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on ‘The Apprentice’ were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex appeal.” - From his 2004 book How to Get Rich
  • “You know, it doesn’t really matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” - From and interview in Esquire magazine
  • “I mean, we could say politically correct that look doesn’t matter, but the look obviously matters, like you wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.” - Trump to a female reporter
  • When lawyer Elizabeth Beck requested a break from a 2011 deposition to pump breast milk, “He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, ‘You’re disgusting, you’re disgusting,’ and he ran out of there,” according to Beck.
  • “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America.” - Now deleted Tweet by Donald Trump
  • According to New York Times columnist Gail Collins “During one down period, I referred to him in print as a ‘financially embattled thousandaire’ and he sent me a copy of the column with my picture circled and ‘The Face of a Dog!’ written over it.”
  • Trump said that Arianna Huffington, founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, “is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision.”
  • Talking about Megyn Kelly at the debates: “She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions… You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
  • About his own daughter: “she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.“
  • “You know who’s one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body.
  • “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12. Her parents are friends of mine, and, you know, the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ … Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that. They’re sort of always stuck around that 25 category.”
  • Gloria Allred represented Ms. USA contestant Jenna Talackova, a trans woman, and said that Trump needs to stop focusing so much on genitals after he joked about her client. He told TMZ “I think Gloria Allred would be very, very, very, very impressed with my penis. I think she would have a whole new image of Donald Trump.”
  • “Excuse me, you dropped to your knees? It must be a pretty picture. You dropping to your knees.” Trump said in response to Brande Roderick on an episode of “Celebrity Apprentice.
  • Trump on women: “You have to treat ’em like sh*t.” – direct quote from New York Magazine.
  • “She’s not giving me 100 percent. She’s giving me 84 percent, and 16 percent is going towards taking care of children.” TIME issue May 2011

These don't even scratch the surface. Not to mention his views on abortion, contraception, equal pay etc...

all he said about equal pay is if a man or a woman do the same job to the same standard then they deserve equal pay

As usual, the economists here are as ignorant as Trump (the guy with multiple bankruptcies) when it comes to finances. The deficit fluctuates month to month based on how much the government spends or how much tax revenue it takes in. Trump hasn't done a damn thing yet.
