Donald Trump Announces 2016 White House Bid

[DaSleeper]

Funny how two Canadian Trump fan boys are so concerned about the election.

If your neighbor paint his house and fence a weird color.... it affects your own property's sales value!
Even our food prices change with the value of U S dollar!
So our concern with American politics is quite valid!

The elephant in the room Yanno?

Next time Trump speaks check how often he says "Tremendous"
Seems to be his favorite adjective ...:lol:

Probably but at least it's easier to understand than the baffle gab you get from a lot of politicians.

Aha - I see: thanks to Obama, the American dollar has gone way up in value compared to your currency. So that's why so many Canadian right wingers here hate his guts.


Ok. Got it.

Does that mean that you are changing your mind and that you now think that our concern over American election is valid?

Shades of JFK?

You wrong???


PERISH the thought!

Yes, I just finished reading a detailed account of how the senior member of the Democratic Party organized these anti-Trump rallies.

So who's your favourite candidate in this charade, Cliffy?

Most Canadians now accept free trade deals. But a lot of Americans don’t. And Donald Trump has tapped into that.

The Liberals, who famously called the original 1984 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement a threat to Canada’s very existence, now take credit for implementing the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement, its far more intrusive successor.

Even the New Democrats have become accepting. They may oppose the looming Trans-Pacific Partnership trade and investment deal. But they broke with their union allies to support the 2015 free trade pact between Canada and South Korea.

So it is intriguing to see free trade emerging front and centre as one of the key political issues in the U.S. presidential election.

Ross Perot based much of his 1992 third-party presidential campaign on his opposition to signing NAFTA. Bill Clinton essentially supported it.

Over time, Democrats, including U.S. President Barack Obama, played a more devious game — criticizing trade deals on the hustings, but supporting them once in power.

In those years, only the Republicans could be counted on to support unfettered free trade in both word and deed.

With Donald Trump, however, all of this has changed. Barring a miracle, the billionaire developer is poised to become the Republican Party’s presidential nominee this summer.

And Trump is basing his campaign on adamant opposition to free trade.

Perhaps Trump too is simply playing politics.

Perhaps he’d fall into line with the free-trade needs of corporate America if he won the White House.

But in the meantime, he and Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders, another free-trade critic, are changing the dynamic of American politics.

Sanders’ critique of free trade has forced his opponent, Hillary Clinton, to do an embarrassing U-turn on the TPP, a trade deal that she, as Obama’s former secretary of state, helped to negotiate.

She now says she doesn’t support “what I know about (the deal), as of today.”

All of this is coming at a time when some mainstream economists are rethinking their reflexive support of free trade.

Make no mistake. Trump's supporters are seething with resentment. And, in general, they're pretty ignorant. But they're also the people who have lost their jobs to the globalized race for free trade. Sanders supporters are young and have had no jobs to lose.

They know, however, that what "free trade" has left them is McJobs.

If Trump becomes president, the world will be thrown into chaos. But, if Trump and Sanders force a discussion on free trade which ultimately re-balances the system in terms of who wins and who loses, then perhaps some good will come from the wretched campaign for the American presidency.

These people are going to get him elected if they're not careful.

What do people, who are so interested in freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, think they will accomplish by blocking those who are seeking the same rights and freedoms but have a different point of view?

It would seem logical that there will be clashes of these ideals, as one believes in those rights so long as the viewpoint is the same as theirs, much like the Nazis and the Communists in Russia and China and Islam. All those who have contrary views are either eliminated or displaced so as to allow for unity of their thoughts - no others allowed.

American freedoms are being exposed and they are aligning more with the fascists of Communism, Marxism and Islamism more and more. Good thing the percentages of the general populace of these short-sighted and selfish groups are the minority and the common-sense majority still have the patience and temerity to hold their rising anger and temperance below the boiling point.

The time of restraint seems like it is melting like a spring lake thaw. Hope the Commies and followers of the prophet (who shall remain un-named) know how to swim in very cold water.

Quite frankly people are paranoid of the Donald. I'm actually impressed with the mans tenacity.

 

[Angstrom]

That is the biggest problem. We, Canada and the US keep getting leaders that know how things work and go along with it. It would be far more interesting to have a leader that will cut through the BS and actually get something done. No matter how unPC it might be.

It's fun to watch the people who vote these unPC leaders in then flip flop as soon as leaders like that actually do the unPC things they said they would and things get very nasty. because of it.

I am somewhat surprised at the hubbub in Fountain Hills , AZ seeing as how the Donald has quickly become a hero in that conservative part of the country.

I'm more impressed with his stupidity. Actually astounded would be a better word.

What has he done that is stupid ?

The US is a democratic country, and Trump and his clan should have the right to gather and campaign without fear and prejudices. If protestors want to voice their concern, they can protest al they want, but if they decide to do it inside Trump campaign rallies; they are looking and getting exactly what they're looking for. Trump's people are US citizens and have the right to choose their candidates.
