Up to over 2m now.
There's good reason to have this common knowledge, namely to remind people that he doesn't have an exhaustive mandate, and as a bonus it'll likely piss him off.
This could go in a few different threads but might as well post it here. Depressing as hell but not a lot to disagree with.
We probably need the modern equivalence of the Black Plague alongside geo-engineering solutions to have any hope of fixing the climate and sustain the species.
Of course, knowing us, what he described in the article will most likely be the outcome.
Don't think the person you responded to did that though. Don't remember any comparison to Aussies either, though maybe it happened on a page I have not read yet.

He didn't explicitly but I think it was hinted at.
The Aussies part is just a weak attempt at humour. Probably true though. Tony Abbott was big on bringing back the Honours system down here

Didn't really see that. Maybe that is how he meant it, maybe it is something being read into it for other reasons.
Could be the case, although you can't deny that 'patriots rising up against tyranny' is just about the most egregious myth out there.
Oh for the sake of feck
Thank god for the ignore the arrogant cnut button.
Jaysus. Anyone read this? He's such a gobshite.
Maybe Elon Musk, The Gates and a few others could make a deal with Trump to buy NASA. The money could go towards a proper infrastructure plan and NASA could go all out to get the sanest people off this fecking planet, start fresh without the idiots.
Christ, his repeating things twice always makes me think of Good Fellas with that one mobster who always said everything twice. I read the first bit, nobody in that article is coming across looking very good.
fecking hell, I'm getting headaches and shooting pains behind my eyes reading the Trump parts, such an illiterate cnut. The person that transcribed that should be nominated for the Pulitzer. I'm going to try and get past the first bit after my breakfast and a bowl, see if that helps me.
Stick with it. You wouldn't think it was possible for him to talk more bollox than he does in the first bit but he somehow plumbs new depths. The climate change discussion is heart-breaking. He also blatantly doesn't understand the conflict of interest legislation. The whole interview is basically a not vey intelligent man bullshitting his way through some tricky issues, without even showing a hint of competence re his future job. What we all expected/feared tbh.
I actually scrolled forward to that part and it made me feel sick to my stomach. Even worse his supporters will read the interview and think he did well.
Been through LBJ (okay I was a little tyke), Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump. This is the first time where I just have immense trouble reading or listening to anything a President has said
I read maybe 3/4 of that, which was a proper chore. It really does seem like he's just whinging it!
That is precisely the point, so why speculate that Trump would've performed better if he campaigned more in CA ?
You know when in school/college you had something to present but didn't really put any effort or study into it? That's Trump's entire life.
Seems an obvious conclusion to me. There are lots of backwards country types here.
Speaking of, I was googling "Trump verbatim" to amuse myself and stumbled upon this. Apparently it's been tough transcribing him, who would've thought.
Well well
Can you imagine the poor translators at the United Nations or during international summit or even a one on one meeting with another head of state?
Hadn't thought of that. US translators are going to have to be appointed and confirmed by the Senate at this rate, since they'll have so much leeway to make Trump's words into whatever they think makes some sense.
I just imagine Trump meeting with some world leader, Trump says something, the other world leader looks to his translator who just holds his hands up and shrugs his shoulders because he has no idea what Trumpie just saidet alone how to translate it.
Now all of us can be embarrassed by her
I read a bit more of this and his answers on the Paris agreement, wind turbines and the conflict of interest are just mind-numbingly stupid. Unbelievable.
I don't think he understand what "The president can't have conflicts of interests" means.
Just read the entire thing and honestly expected it to be worse. I worry about his views on climate change but most of that interview is him doing what politicians do best skirting around the true answer. He certainly used the time to revert some of his more extreme campaign promises. Very much trying to rebrand himself with all these media peices.
He basically sounds like a director at a boardroom or annual meeting, ignorant of the detail and only focused on a vague direction. I doubt he's ever going to be as clued up as Obama, the best case is he listens to the experts available to him.
Interesting point
Don't think Trump cares about South Carolina politics...this is him getting in a female and a minority at that. Not to mention, he'll be all...'She might not have supported me, but, I don't care...I don't hold grudges'
She'll reply - 'When the President asks you to serve your country...no true patriot can say no. I, Nimrata..sorry, Nikki, am a Patriot'

It seems an interviewer can ask him anything about international affairs and he won't have a clue.
"Manson Family? Wonderful entrepreneurs, I know them well. Castlevania? Great country."

Nah, would need the count to be about 70k off in Pennsylvania, not happening.There is still hope
If the elections were rigged how could you possibly know the scale?
The rigging stuff has no basis.
