Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

This is the funniest shit ever. I knew Elon would clash with MAGA but I didn't think it would happen this quickly.

"extreme legacy maga movement"

The only thing I am worried is that this melt down is happening too early.

Heading to the US again next year, I need some of Trumps more moronic policies to be enacted so our $ might go up.

The way this is going the guy will get nothing done

I predicted this less than a month ago on this thread... but was expecting it to happen after inauguration.

Egos were always going to clash.

This person comes across as reasonable but it's like, dude you voted for a guy that said Hatians were eating peoples pets. The racism was written on the label.

Surely the World needs to isolate Russia til Putin is gone as can't just keep letting him get away with everything...

Chem trails, orbs in the sky, alien drones. They are going insane over there.

When I was in Ireland and Scotland back in 2010, basically didn’t see the sun for a month (showers every ****ing day) and that was in their late summer.

They jump from one conspiracy theory to the next. Bat shit scared to death and crazy.
They are on about weather manipulation again. At least drones and ufos are being given a short rest.

Ah explains the black hats. MAGA being so easily trained have passed their usefulness in the red hats. Now Musk is reinventing his party as Dark MAGA which explains Trump looking like the undertaker.
The gullible fools are being reorientated in real time with their beliefs. The globalist Elon is everything they feared about Soros and the Great Replacement but like willing Lemmings they will get into line behind him because Trump tells them to.
They ARE the sheep they accuse others of being.
Absolute fools.
In a way amusing to watch but also a tad sad.

Watching the aftermath and the stories from pro Trump immigrants was that they literally bought into the false narrative that Trump is only talking about illegal immigration. This is the problem with ignorance. A sad fact of life is many people are politically ignorant and merely go on hearsay as to who they will vote for. Add the added equation of cost of living and of course misogyny it became the perfect storm for ignorant immigrant voters.

I've seen this phenomenon first hand from an Indian bloke I worked with. He told me we shouldn't let Indians immigrate here because they're all bums. He probably thinks it doesn't apply to him because he's got money, speaks the language, is educated and has a decent job etc. It never occurred to him that racists would just argue there is no reason we shouldn't educate a white Australian to do his job.

I was glad he left the business before the Aussie cricket team got embroiled in that cheating scandal though. Never would have heard the end of it.

These seem reasonable and rational comments by conservative ex-PM Howard.

Interested in the Trumpies views - words not laughing emojis - if they have the capacity.

Now, former Prime Minister Mr Howard has come out swinging against any tariffs on Aussie goods headed to the US. In an interview with The Australian, he said Mr Trump’s tariff proposals were “ridiculous” and “crazy” and said they would damage the international economy.

“ I am concerned to put it mildly, very concerned, about Trump’s talk about tariffs,” Mr Howard said. “Trade has delivered millions of people out of poverty. Unilaterally imposing tariffs of that order of magnitude on countries willy-nilly is just bad for world trade and it’s bad for the world economy.

Hopefully the proposed 20% tariffs don't eventuate. You just don't know with Trump what he actually does v bluster.

No idea why he is trying to start a trade war with 25% tariffs with neighbours Canada. Just bizzare & insulting to suggest they should just be another state of America.

My main issue which we found out during covid is we need our own capacity to produce essential items & not rely on imports. Should be serious consideration to support local manufacturing we think should be essential.

It's all bluster. Markets would be selling off way harder if it wasn't. There will be tarrifs, just not anything approaching what he was threatening. We're already seeing from all the recent stuff about H-1B visas that the capital is what is really running the show. Trump will spend the next 4 years mostly playing golf while what's left of his brain turns into oatmeal.

Agreed. Losing manufacturing capacity and “know how” is a big issue and covers so many areas like critical drugs, even refined oil. As a country we have been stupid allowing this to be totally, or substantially, outsourced to foreign countries. Many that are ultimately not our “friends”.

And with Trump, everyone knows he is full of it. Full of absolute crap. Let’s see how many election promises and threats ultimately make it eg all of these threatened tariffs - wasn’t Chinas supposed to be 60% as per election threats?, his “one nasty day” of illegal immigrants being rounded up, his stopping the Ukraine war “day one”. The one “sure thing” is tax cuts for the rich blowing out the budget by many $T’s

I can’t remember a US President with a lower IQ. When I was young perhaps with Reagan maybe but at least he was principled and had charisma. Trump - I just don’t get how almost everyone doesn’t find him to be a disgusting individual on so many levels. And that was before he even entered politics. He is NOT a successful guy as he likes to purport. He has had so many failures that it ain’t funny and his wealth would have been higher investing the US400m inheritance in an average index hugging share fund or ETF rather than all his historic crazy, mostly failing, business ideas.

LOL Jimmy Carter the peanut farmer, Reagan would play him on a break, one of the better Rep Presidents..

OK thanks for input Bicks. Please understand you may be of a different generation to others (inc myself) and I can barely remember Reagan so obviously have no recollection of Carter

PS who is (1) smarter and (2) a better President out of Reagan and Trump in your view?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

There is something very funny about a deficit hawk like Mutineer being a fan of Ronald Reagan.

We actually don’t know a lot about Reagan given we didn’t have social media/internet back then. We only got snippets.

And how disrespectful of Carter by Bicks, Reagan was a B Grade actor which term Reaganomics with the idea of trickle down economics, which has proven to be an utter failure given wealth distribution has never been greater.

Carter has proven to do a great deal more since his Presidency (more than what Reagan ever did) and even Trump offering kind words.

Carter had to deal with the inflation, post oil crisis and of course Russia’s invasion of Afghanistan and the hostage crisis in Iran.

Reagan saw the deficits and % of GDP increase significantly. Hardly inspirational and likely the grounds for the great world recession of 1990/1991.

 

[Mutineer]

So we're talking good blokes not good Presidents now OK.

Keating was a good PM for a stretch but not towards the end and a shit bloke ever after.
