In the mueller probe, that is true.

As for the SDNY, they seem fairly intent on nailing the traitor in chief to the wall.

Every aspect of Trumps crooked life is being investigated, and they won’t stop.

He will be impeached, but will beat it. Republicans have come this far, sold out conservative principles, consigned Reaganism utterly to the scrap heap, given up their morals completely, so they are all in on trump now. The Sanford effect has invertebrates like McConnell and Graham afraid for their cushy jobs.

He also has to contend with the campaign finance violations - you remember that one, that was where he paid off a p*** star he had an affair with while his wife was at home with a new baby. Great example to the kids, no?

All this and he still has time to disparage a recently deceased war hero who spent 5 years as a POW being tortured, while trump dodged the draft will bone spurs.

I wonder where Trump’s wall is, that Mexico was going to pay for, to keep all the brown skinned folks out, and all the middle eastern terrorists crossing the southern border.

I was in El Paso last week, there is no national emergency there.

Trump may try another shutdown, but will have to cave in like an inexperienced political rookie after once again being played by Nancy.

Pelosi vs Trump is even more unfair that expecting him to pit his wits against the ex head of the KGB. No wonder he bent over in Helsinki, Putin was a bloody spy chief for crying out loud. It’s simply not a fair fight.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

There are plenty of facts that support those who hate what Trump is doing. You have only to listen to him and read his tweets to know them. I don't hate Trump, I pity him for he is pretty clearly for me a disturbed man. What I hate is a system that allows such a person to reach the level of POTUS and the standards and motivations of those who put him there.

Well, if you read the thread that was what most of it was about.

He isn't a traitor and I find that a bizarre word to use.

I don't know if you took note or not but Trump wasn't popular in the Republican party. Much like Corbyn his power based was almost entirely built upon popular support from the actual voters. The republicans had a choice, much like the Labour Mps did.....Work with the new guy or get out. Much the same thing has happened.

I don't care, I didn't care when Clinton was getting blow jobs in the White House and I don't care who Trump f***s....that's between him and his wife.

The President is there to appear to run the economy and present laws to the house....all the rest is media invented BS.

In terms of this practice of the opposing party using any means necessary to obstruct (outside of voting on his laws) the president....unless it's for something serious I don't support it. Again, I didn't support it with Democrat presidents either. I regard 'campaign violations' as ridiculous as that's in every campaign by every candidate ever.

Impeachment is something they all look to do now with all presidents. I don't support it.

Anyone who thinks it's legitimate to remove a president who was elected legally by the US system is playing on very dangerous ground. It needs to be very serious and nothing I've seen is anything close to it.

Trump's not a particularly nice person by all accounts.....but then again neither was McCain who had plenty of critics also. But McCain was a proven military man many times over and deserved respect in his own country. I'll agree with that.

Clinton dodged the draft and for me while this does say something it is hardly that relevant now.

'Brown skinned folks' or whatever non American folks have no right to enter the US. Trump is perfectly within his rights to enact the policies that his base voted him in on.

The stuff about Mexico paying was just campaign BS.

He's just transferred the first billion to military engineers to start new wall sections.

You have it pretty bad with Trump. It's like listening to the tea party when Obama was in power.

The economy is going well and the wall is actually pretty popular so we will see with the next election. Like most things the economy will be the biggest determinate.

Have just been looking at the wall online and it looks pretty crap.

There is nowhere to chalk in the cricket stumps.

It is a folly, the american version of the maginot line.

The enemy, whoever they are, will simply go round it by using another method.

We will see how effective it is when it is built.

One thing is clear. America cannot continue to allow illegal Mexican immigrants to flood into the country.

And the wall was proposed a long time before Trump was around. The idea that he proposed it is just another lie.

Obama inherited the worst economic downturn since the 1930's as a consequence of the banking crisis and, despite being opposed at every turn by a GOP Congress in both Houses, managed to oversee a sustained recovery which happened earlier and faster than in the rest of the developed world. It is the continuation of that recovery that Trump claims the credit for but which he is in the midst of destroying with stupid tax cuts and trade wars.

Obama care was only ever a first step towards making the US health system efficient and free at the point of use, as is the NHS. That it suffered some teething problems with the insurers doesn't change that. Any health care system which exclusively operates on the profit motive is not fit for purpose and the US one provides great facilities for the rich but crap for the poor. As your health is something that society should take responsibility for this is unacceptable in any modern, developed country. That you think it should have been just abandoned, rather than nurtured into delivering what was intended speaks volumes.

Obama signed the Paris Accord and started the process of changing the mindset of Americans on climate change. He was bringing the country into line with the rest of the developed world, along with much of the third world. This wasn't "virtue signalling" at all. It was part of a process which he understood had to be accomplished in stages. Trump is doing his best to ruin that, although I am heartened by the efforts of some States to refuse to be pulled out of playing their part by him.

Foreign policy is largely determined by events and not really made by one person. You can criticise, with hindsight, some of the decisions taken by the USA during the Obama years but that is true of every POTUS. What he didn't do was interject his own prejudices and lack of understanding into foreign affairs as Trump does. He didn't allow himself to be played like a fool by the likes of Kim Jong Un or Putin, support Israel without considering the implications or suck up to murderers in Saudi.

Obama behaved as a POTUS should, with dignity and a sense of fairness for all. He oversaw dragging the USA towards the kind of inclusive social democracy that every modern developed needs and should aspire to. He was rightly respected and admired around the world and as such the President I most admired since Kennedy.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

So... tell me how many countries have met their Paris Accord pledges?

This is a double standard you are holding the US to.

All nations are selfish and all nations pursue their own national interest.

The Paris accord is a giant wishful thinking nothing burger which holds no country to actual account for actions.

The US by pulling out is actually being honest which gets criticism from you but you can't point to any major nation in the world which has done anything of note on climate change. And that will continue to be the case.

Indeed, the US is the only superpower which any of us can seriously look to on the technological front in this regard with all the major work on practical commercial alternatives on a mass scale originating from there.
