    Give him a chance! He's barely had time to get his feet under the table yet.

    North Korea? Iran? Or maybe now Mexico? He has time on his side.

    Yes he has done well on all these clearing up the mess Obama left hanging in the air, Especially the Iran deal signing the worst deal in history for short term gain.

    Im not an expert on politics nor do i claim to be (and im gonna show so here probably), but is Trump really doing that bad a job?

    A comical and often maligned figure yet he does appear, whilst admittedly peeing a few people off, to get stuff done. I read recently that for most americans tax rates had gone down, more people were in employment than ever before, he has attempted dialogue with north korea, shown putin that he wont put up with any shite, and that terror attacks in the US are down. All this achieved whilst our clowns have spent 3 years debating one, yes one, frigging deal. Like him or loathe him, had Trump been our PM its highly likely we'd be well out the EU and on our way to rebuilding the mess. Many obvious parallels are drawn between Johnson and Trump, maybe old Boris could be our man to get things done

    His latest attempt to make Mexico sort their problem of Immigrants crossing into the US, 10% tax's raising to 25%, interesting to throw he's the onus back onto the Mexican government.

    "In a couple of dramatic tweets, backed up by a briefing call featuring acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy aimed at coercing Mexico into halting the flow of Central American asylum seekers into the United States — a 5 percent tax on Mexican imports rising steadily to 25 percent unless Mexico cracks down on migration".

    Mexico is supposed to be a friend and ally of the USA yet does nothing to stop the thousand upon thousands of its citizens illegally entering the USA, While benefiting from the US dollar it does nothing in return, Trump is right to do this to teach Mexico that with friendship and trade comes responsibilities

    Usual rent a mob that turns up to every event like this. Most of them should be issued with an equity card, most of them are now perfect at acting the part. Usual chants of Nazi, Racist, misogynist, facist etc then the new craze of milkshake throwing. Nothing but predictable.

    I was very sceptical of Trump and then alarmed at his earlier Tweets, especially the "Rocket Man" ones. But I am open to to change................he is a very unconventional president, but then he isn't a politician. He's got lucky on some scores and his deal making acumen has rattled other competitors, I am beginning to think his at first, alarming opening comments, are a prelude to something more important, deal making. As every businessman man knows, you hope to open negotiation from a position of strength.

    To be fair to Trump, he appears to be doing a very good job domestically in terms of the economy back home, just what you would expect from a successful businessman. I think he is a good ally for the UK too.

    Corbyn made a complete fool of himself, as usual, with his comments aimed at him. God help our Anglo-American relationship if Corbyn ever gets the keys to number 10

    Corbyn needs to remember that 3 million jobs rely on trade with the US, Probably more than all of the EU 27 put altogether

    Would bet that 90% or so were left overs from the climate changers although that's mostly a false description as they are all just plain raw anarchists.....

    Would seem these people don't have to bother about working, i'm guessing if they have jobs its public sector. How else would you be able to turn up at all these protests.
    Just seen another bellend on TV, Steve Bray the complete wankpuffin. Stood behind John Pienaar with his anti brexit banners. Who pays this cretin to stand there all day with his stupid signs?

    This an excellent point because the suspicion is that those protesting at Westminster with orders to get behind the TV presenters and on TV with banners and posters are in fact been paid by some of the remain groups to do this. It is noticeable that most of the placards are of a professional standard and few homemade.
