I've never really liked Donald Trump as a man.

Based purely on initial exposure to him presenting The Apprentice, to me he always seemed a bit sleazy; even though a lot of it was the over-the-top characterisation that US TV networks demand.

I further didn't like him, with much of what he said on the campaign trail. To me, it seemed unnecessary. Not that I "liked" Clinton.

It's done him well though, so all I can do now, is hope he makes the best of it.

Also, what are the odds on Obama signing off with "Oh hey, Donald, Mr President, I got you a present" and then reaching into his jacket pocket and producing a non-US Birth Certificate?

You may be the only person who can understand that sentence! wink
Nope, I know what he's getting at, and I agree

Indeed. Hardly difficult to understand.

Likewise.

He won't make america great again, he probably won't start WW3. He'll just be a bit gobby, continue the same old claptrap.

I look forward to reading his tweets. Will he be under a new account, @TrumpPotUSA?

Yes, but there is a bit more to him. Judging by his actions to date, he does appear serious about reinvesting in manufacturing and in ending our current wars.

Another clue is that the establishment is at an unprecidented level of panic (see recent Davos chatter in particular). CNN was recently publicly ruminating about how Obama could keep power if Trump and Pence are assasinated before being sworn in.

I never thought I'd say it, but he may be the real deal for the anti-globalism crowd. And he's also got support from quite respectable and unlikely sources across the political spectrum.

I very much doubt he will be allowed on Twitter anymore

He will just dictate it for someone else to tweet for him.

What do you mean by 'allowed' who exactly is there above the President of the United States to start issuing orders down the chain?

If he is not allowed to twitter away, he will get wound up a treat by the world. That will get a response and bet it will be OTT.

Well they arent allowed smart phones due to being able to be hacked/tracked (Obamas own words), so unless he tells them to fk off, he will only be able to do it from a PC which is more inconvenient.

He may not dissapear but presumably will be on it less.

I see the BBC are still campaigning for Hillary this morning.

"but what do we know about Donald Trump?"

cue 60 seconds of clips of Donald saying "the wrong thing" during the campaign.
The BBCs bias and coverage is a disgrace; nothing but thinly veiled anti-Trump stories, always gets in the stuff about protests and gives as much coverage to anti-Trump protests and what bands will be playing, his "thin skin" and temperament vis a vis nuclear codes. The bias is unbelievable.

After Brexit and this the BBC losing public funding cannot come soon enough. I don't buy the Guardian so why should I pay for BBC news to spout the same ste.
I could not agree more, all this tv coverage of a load of people sticking up banners on bridges....Sorry love you do not represent me so stop saying the British people are behind it rage Many of us will carry on will life and see what happens. The Sky is NOT falling.
I've had to turn the Victoria Derbyshire show off, it was making RT look almost completely unbiased (fair and balanced even).

I don't mind news organisations having an agenda, we all know where they sit, but the BBC uniquely is supposed to be impartial, yet it is the most extreme by a country mile. I just don't understand how they get away with it.

Happy Trump Day one and all. Where is Unrepentant? I have seen him posting here and there once again, it is good to see that his pre election flounce has come to an end - either that or he didn't get signal/wifi at his cabin in the Oregon hills.

beer and it's Friday - always good, unless you're a shift worker or something awful like that.

I always have a chuckle at posters who take the piss out of Donald Trump.

He's a very smart and shrewd operator, not as dumb as he looks.

Insults to him are like water off a ducks back.

Personally, I think he will do a decent job, however, I did Like President Obama too.
