But in Trump's case, there's a strong ethnic motive. It's about promoting the myth of an ethnically Anglo heritage in the US. We don't hear him complaining too much about trade with the UK for example. It's Mexico and China.

And Arabs too.
And those annoying Canadians!

Hey you forgot to put all your slurs into quotations...

The nationalist Freedom Party is probably going to win some extra seats in the upcoming Austrian election, Le Pen could become France's next president in a few years, and the Leitch probably has more support in Canada than we like to admit. I'm just trying to get used to the new vocabulary.

That's kind of projecting...

Your "Mr Language" and i'm sure unless something like Oxford were to change it you wouldn't let politics change your usage of the language.

People want changes. Immigration is now synonymous with security, 9/11 was the beginning, and although Americans were in shocked, they might have been able to overcome this attack, but it continued and became more and more horrific, not only in the US, but Paris, Belgium, etc... I believe distrust & fear of immigration is the main driver of this new 'outspoken' racism. Many just don't seem to give a sh$t anymore about political correctness. Trump realized this because he's not a politician, so in some respect he was part of the mainstream looking at Washington thinking, what the f^%k!! He spoke the truth about NAFTA, in terms of it's effect on 'regular' people, they gained much much less than the elite in these trade deals, they might be paying a tiny bit less for clothes, etc. but then many saw their jobs move to Mexico, so do not care about this tiny saving!! Free Trade was good for Ottawa, Washington and mostly Los Pinos. It will interesting to see how he approaches the next few months.

We will see what bills he gets from a solid republican congress . We will see if he can get a budget passed .
He is only the president not the prime minister .

I don't know if he's left or right, but I it should be easy to impeach him. Just wait until he slaps an intern's bum.
Will he ? Are you sure ? Do you have a crystal ball mr. fortune teller ?

I believe Trumps economic policies will ultimately fail as most leftist policies do. I doubt his core supporters care about that.

believing and knowing are two different things, haha
