He'll hide behind fake numbers, fake news, america is great again
I have a feeling he'll blame the Russian investigation for any decrease in the economy.
Whatever he does, he'll profit in the end and that's the only thing he cares about, he's a sociopath.
That's because it's a liberal forum that's never really had many Trump supporters. It's also generally not got many American posters. On right wing American forums they'll defend/ignore his actions and simply not have the knowledge of his politics, they'll probably post videos like this:
"No One Was Calling Him Racist When He Wasn't President" - Floyd Mayweather
What fears me the most isn't that he's a psychopath, but turns out 48 something percent of americans voted for him.
He obviously has a died hard fanbase but you have to wonder how many of them casual voters have gone off him and how many would vote against him no matter what if he runs in 2020. Approval rating according to fivethirtyeight is at 38.4% which is still too high for my liking.
48% of the ~55% of eligible voters voted for him. I'd estimate his support at roughly 1/3 of America, still worrying but not entirely surprising.
I'm all for a rational debate with people who genuinely think this guy is doing a good job, but like you said - the majority just post goofy videos & articles with no logic or reasoning.
Mayweather makes a valid point there, but it actually paints Trump in a worse light for me.
He lived a high profile life before the Presidency and was never associated with racism. That suggests to me he isn't a racist. It also suggests that he recognises that he needs the racist vote and as such, is deliberately enabling and endorsing racism for personal gain.
That is so much worse.
Racism is abhorrent but it stems from ignorance and stupidity. You can pity actual racists for the limitations of their minds and upbringings. But for an educated person to recognise and acknowledge racism, and harness it as a tool to achieve their own goals is fecking evil. The man is scum.

Except for when he used to ban black people from occupying his housing in the 70s.

The man is racist, and there's plenty more evidence. Appearing on TV and in movies, and having black friends doesn't take away the fact.
Considering he clearly doesn't have what you and I would describe as "friends". He has business associates and people that are of benefit to him one way or another.
I stand corrected. Thanks for posting those. The first article in particular was good (well awful, but interesting) reading.
Should be banned from entering in the UK.
In stunning admission, Trump adviser says GOP tax scam is “going to hurt”

I wouldn't feel bad. It is impossible to keep up with it all due to all the distractions. It's a great tactic.
Also the time when he bought an ad advocating execution of 5 black men accused of rape who later turned out to be innocent, and then fumed about the settlement the city of New York reached with those men.

He's one of the vilest scum in public life, ever.
Also the time he was the leading birther. The only way he could have been more publicly racist would be if he went to klan rallies.

Very, he has trophies that he parades around to delude people (including himself) into thinking he's loved by everyone.
Nah, his Dad had already beaten him to the klan rallies
Stick to boring boxing, Floyd.
Anyone that supports this man can't be reasoned with.
Feck trying to be balanced.

I don't understand why would anyone try to reason with a Trump supporter.
You can lead a Trump voter to reason but ....
Funny enough @Raoul posted that video when he was going thru his 'Trump is not racist' phase.... He seems to have come around. Or chosen to keep quiet about it....
Its complicated. I'd say he dabbles in dog whistle rhetoric for sure though.
Nah, he shouldn't. The shit he'll get when over here will be hilarious.
Yeah, the protests are going to be unmissable.
Not the Orange Overlord himself, but still...this is a man Trump endorsed

It just goes to show how bold Trump has made these fecking cnuts.

My wish is protestors on the streets and both the houses of Parliament turn their back on him if he ever makes a state visit. That should be a spectacle and hurt his inflated ego. This would also undermine our Prime Minister and her monumental gaff of inviting him for a state visit so early in his Presidency.

It isn't. At all. He's unquestionably racist.
If saying that gives you comfort, then great.
Yea it really comforts me, obviously.
The ostrich approach seems to be your zen at times, so I'll leave you to it.
big time. And yet, the media keeps falling for it.
Have you read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine or latest book No is Not Enough ?
In both books, she talks about how dictators use chaos and shock as tools to divert attention so they can implement their real agenda. Everything she writes seems to be true about Trump.
If I truly believed it then I would obviously join in.
He'll be a racist when it suits. Basically, he's an opportunist and a parasite. He has no beliefs or moral values.
Let's look at these people(Conservatives to liberals) reactions to recent events
.When Trump decided to drop a couple of missiles on Syria, they came not just running back but also described it as a thing of beauty. I remember one particular person who would constantly come out against Trump, stating that when it came to foreign policy Trump is the commander in chief and there for she will not criticise him.
.Trump comments after Charlottesville, Yes they were horrified(As everyone should be)but where was this call to end white supremacy. All I've seen since is a weird fascination with it, where neo nazi are written in kinder words than black kids who have been murdered by police
(Thanks @berbatrick)
.If the tax plan cut is purely about policy then where why the Bush Jr revisionism, where was this outrage during the Obama years when he wanted to cut social security(And that's before mentioning the little of any outcry over Obama deportation record)and where was the support for alternative like Sanders.
.As for environment policy unless your a anti capitalist then your not taking it serious enough.
So I'm yet to see anything to suggest theses people care about the policy Trump is putting forward or the root causes of why someone like Trump could be elected. They are simply offended that someone so stupid and rude can be the President.
I don't see how he can ever put his foot on UK soil.
The amount of chaos, riots and public disorder would be on an unprecedented scale which would then be reported in 720 degree real time across all media - recorded in history forever. It would make the poll tax and student riots looks like child play.
If Corbyn was brave enough, he would also publicly denounce the visits so all that anger would be equally directed and absorbed by May and the tories, severely threatening their post Brexit election prospects.
