You are completely missing how American politics work. It does not matter how much dirt they have on him, the only people who can oust him are if the senate and the house impeach him, BOTH.

Currently both are republican controlled. It is unlikely the democrats will take back the house this November, but they might take back the senate. Either way, its unlikely we will see impeachment proceedings unless the republicans get to a point where they believe Trump is doing too much damage to the party image.

There is also the respect for the position of the presidency, other people have to fill the office after he is gone, and there has to be continued world respect for it. If Trump were to have all of his skeletons aired at once in public forcing republican hand to impeach him, the presidency loses something.

As to trumps affairs, who cares, its between him and his wife. The problem with this one though is the payment of the $130,000 and what it means for campaign contributions, and the reason it was paid. It could be construed as breaking campaign laws, according to my lawyer friend who understands the intricacies of said laws at least (i am totally confused by them).

As usual the abomination, the grotesque, that six foot pile of puss wearing a human suit is lying through its fat anus face. As reported by CNN:

“Only 13% of companies' tax cut savings will go to pay raises, bonuses and employee benefits, according to a survey of Morgan Stanley analysts released Thursday. 43% will go to investors in the form of stock buybacks and dividends, the analysts predict.

Many businesses have announced splashy tax cut gifts for their workers, including raises, better benefits and big one-time bonus checks. As of Monday, more than 300 companies have announced tax-cut-related bonuses and raises, benefiting 3.5 million U.S. workers, according to the White House. Yet that's a small fraction of the 125.5 million Americans who work for a company.”

Only 3.5 million of 125.5 million workers will get tax cut money from their employers. That’s .0278 percent of the workers. Wow, not even 3% of company employees are getting something from the hundreds of millions given away from our treasury. Also if you look at the roughly 30 million businesses in the US that 300 number is pathetic. So a massive 10% of businesses are giving some to their workers? Well, how magnanimous of them. And if you look at the split between manufacturing and service industry it gets worse. For manufacturing the labor compensation is only 8.9% of the tax cut savings while 46.7% goes to stock buybacks and dividends.

I used to be immortal

Trump's tax changes......I'm not ideologically driven on them either way. I look at results not pre-decide. The way I view them is that this is the one large plank of Trump's campaign that he's managed to get through.

To that end I've always been a believer that a president should be allowed to get the main planks of their programme through as that is what they were elected on and should be judged on.

The America economy is doing well..... and I reject all the salty crap from Trump haters that this has nothing to do with him.

However it is still too soon to say whether Trump's tax changes will improve or damage the US economy. At the moment it looks like it's going to improve US investment into the economy, both in terms of jobs and in terms of stock markets.

It puts the democrats onto the back foot because essentially they will be running on a program of significantly raising taxes.

Democrat desperation.....and considering their history with the male Clinton total hypocrisy.

Equitable? The point is the bare faced hypocrisy of it.

I was completely against the impeachment of Clinton on sexual behaviour. It had nothing to do with his job. I'm not a hypocrite on Trump either.

But like I said early on in this thread, many Democrats don't give a damn about principles. They present themselves as 'going high' but in reality they are just as in the gutter as the worst of them.

Snowflakes hate trump therefore I like him.

he cracks me up to honest, literally no fcks given. I really do think he's a breath of fresh air, and couldnt give a s*** about all the PC crap that wraps us in its ever tighter hypocritical grip.

Say what you like him, (and people do) but he's the first President to slap Jun-un back in his box and get him talking to the South Koreans, so he can't be that thick as people would suggest.

Other than their wives no one should give a crap about who they did or didn't f***.

In France it's practically obligatory to have an affair when you get the big job, and no one would blame Macron for doing so.

Optimistic as ever

French president calls Aussie PM’s wife 'delicious' [Link]

Remember the media uproar and frothing at the mouth by lefties when President Trump was overheard telling French First Lady Brigitte Macron that she is in 'good shape'? [Link]

One rule for one...

Still it's right to draw parallels between the treatment of Trump and other foreign presidents and leaders.

Trump's actually doing quite well. The claims against him also seem to have ebbed away.....Yet the silence is deafening.

The mainstream media are very far from objective, yet plenty of them claim to be.
