Good News for Trump

 

[AlphaFighter]

My sixth sense tells me that the stupidity and idiocy of the American people must never be underestimated. They just might end up electing this guy as their next president.

You need to admire one thing about this guy, whether you agree with him or not, he doesn't give a damn about being politically correct or unpopular, he will say it as he sees it which is not a very common attribute in a politician.

But if this guy comes in office, should we expect America to become like Nazi Germany for Muslims?

The popularity of this guy is scary, lot of educated people also support him. All thanks to scaremongering by the media against Muslims and Islam.

Being elected as president is one thing, but can the American population, society, citizens, legal, police, justice system allow him to adopt Hitler style policies, I am hoping in the faith and humanity of American people in general to act as a major barrier even if this guy comes to office.

I don't get the hate for Donald Trump here. Everytime I see him on a a republican debate on tv, he is just entertainment maxx. Few days ago, he was basically trolling Jeb Bush. I mean, he's even better than Umar akmal on twitter.

Because the President of the most powerful country in the world shouldn't be an entertaining performing seal but actually a rational and intelligent human being - which Donald Trump is not.

It's 39% of the GOP voters. But, he has probably handed bucketloads of the undecided over to the Dems.

That said, if I was a part of the minority, I wouldn't want to be associated with the US. If he ever becomes a president by any stroke of luck, Americans will have to hide away their passports while travelling just like they had to at the height of the Iraq war.

 

[Markhor]

Bush was the same.

I detested Bush's administration but EVEN Dubya, for all disasters associated with the WOT, made speech after speech stressing that America was not at war against Islam itself.

"The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam," Bush said in his September 17 address. "That's not what Islam is all about."

Trump instead calls for all US Muslims to wear some kind of identification, be put on a national database, all mosques to be put under surveillance and ban all Muslim immigration.

Bush was a trainwreck but he never stoked Islamophobia for political gain like Trump is.

 

[Yossarian]

I dont agree. I think only muslims will feel the heat. Trump has specifically talked about muslims only.

As if the average American could tell the difference between a Muslim (Pakistani), an Indian Hindu, an Indian Sikh or even an Indian Christian walking down the street.
In fact, Indian Sikhs wearing turbans would be even worse off than the majority of Muslims as most American's associate turban wearing with the likes of OBL, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the IS lot.

 

[farazaidi]

he has united Muslims much more than any other Muslim leader. I hope he actually becomes US President, we will atleast see some unity among Muslim nations if only its against this one person !

Hitler did that to a particular group. Look what the Nazi's ended up doing to them.

 

[Anfield]

He will not become president he might not even become republicans nominee. People have to understand how this polls work. These polls have very limited and a particular set of audience mostly right winged conservative white Americans. But when it comes to presidential actual polling, 40% voters are black and Hispanics which don't vote republicans let alone Trump and then there are Muslim Americans, then Asians. Trump isn't coming to power. Has no chance!

no true buddy , He said much worse things about mexicans . Isn't really that close with teh jewish community and I doubt he likes blacks so much either. I personally find him entertaining .He is literally making it too damn easy for hillary to walk into the office.

 

[endymion248]

Neoconservatists have been the single greatest threat to the world for the last 40 years. It's scary how accurate the documentary ''The Power of Nightmares'' was, even though it is 10 years old. They manage to combine all the worst aspects across different ideologies: economic protectionism, christian fundamentalism, xenophobia, ideological conservatism,... You can't even talk about right or left anymore, it's the worst of all the worlds.

The white house is in a bind what to do with him. You can get him if he's running his businesses, you can get him if he actually becomes a president - but you can't touch him while he's campaigning. His rhetoric is a dream come true for the likes of ISIS who instead of being isolated now can now use him in their recruiting materials.

I feel Trump is a lot better. For starters, Trump isn't beholden to neocon allies. Trump is already paving a path for stronger ties with Russia. Imagine a middle east without Russia/USA fighting their usual proxy wars.

Bush, Obama, Trump all same. All big talks for vote bank politics but once they win the election they become sedate. I had huge expectation from Obama but he turn out to be quite a bit of a dissapointment.

Being the strongest country in the world, America need a leader (dont mind even if bit of a tyrant) and not a straight edge politician.

A leader like Vladimir Putin or Narendra Modi is what US required, someone who walk the talk and not only talk the talk.

How will they do that? You can't go simply by place of birth or name. If they did, a certain Mr. Nazir-Ali, born in Pakistan, dual Pakistani/British national would definitely be classified as a Muslim by the American's don't you think?

Bit of a catch-22. Even the most right wing political party in U.S. will be more tolerant than the most left-wing political parties in most Islamic nations today. Loathe the western culture, but immigrate anyways since life is so much better with first world amenities

The Jews in the banking elite will make the decision. Trump, Obama and the rest are just puppets.

The biggest disease to the US and well to the wider world is the Jewish control of the central banks.

Get rid of the private banking system, give control back to the public, link it to Gold to control inflation and you'll soon start to see things settle down around the world.

Muslims are not the problem, the Jewish elite are. One day the world will realise this.

Going with the whole Zionist private global banking conspiracy, the same news media owners are trying to bury Trump on a daily basis in both right and left wing channels (Fox/CNN), and its not working. I don't think Trump is a puppet to anybody. This says it all:

https://theintercept.com/2015/12/03...l-group-after-telling-them-he-cant-be-bought/

For all the anti-Islamic rhetoric, Trump has ironically been the only one with the nuts to say the word "Palestine" in front of the most powerful Jewish donors in America. He also blasted a Saudi prince on Twitter. Trump is the one candidate who is not on strings. Its just unfortunate that he's coupling this with such xenophobia though but given he has taken liberal stances before I think he is just more or less pandering.

Judaism permit the the charging of interest, it is why they have been successful over history. It's not because they are smarter. It's because they are allowed to exploit the poor without guilt. Why do you think the Jews have such a huge influence in the world when they have a tiny population?

Conspiracies are **** like aliens and lizards and that crap. But when the evidence is there, i.e. the names of the founders of the banking cartels and how they came about getting their money, then it's not exactly a conpsiracy is it?

Anyways Trump will get elected or not, based on what the bankers decide. But one thing is for sure, he ain't blocking any borders if he does get into power. You're more likely to find living life forms on Jupiter.

I'm nothing like him.

I'm someone who believes the running of banks should be given back to the public. It should be priority no 1 for every single politician in the world, even if it means losing their life for cause.

Every single nation is in debt and will continue to be, because the system is so messed up.

The governments are borrowing more and more money (money made out of think air by the way) with interest charged against it to pay off the previous debt. In other words, Money = Debt. Debt = Money.

Where is the evidence for this "big majority" of Muslims claim or are you just talking nonsense ? Can you differentiate between people who criticise the US Govt's policies as opposed to America the country and its people.

Where was this outrage when a recent Pew poll found HALF of Americans support the DELIBERATE targeting of civilians in military operations ? Maybe we should ban Americans from entering other countries using Trump logic because of all the mass shootings as they'd be a security threat. Seeing as though we want to claim certain communities have a greater propensity to violence right ?

I mean if a poll was published to reveal that HALF of the citizens in a Muslim country supported civilian deaths you guys would be making threads non-stop on here. Plus the terrorist incidents that have recently occurred in the west such as 7/7 and Paris weren't committed by foreign immigrants but homegrown extremists. The male San Bernadino shooter was born and bred in America.

It sadly doesn't work like that in a real case scenario.Give me an example of a nation or even a city which can work without a bank.
Capitalism with accountability is the only way countries can become successful.India has tried nationalizing banks and it didn't work for us all we did was just managed to escape one crash.
Your proposals are too radical there needs to be a middle path between the extreme of American and European Banks and your no bank approach.Also please remember most countries aren't very high on resources so everything can't be nationalized or made state owned.

I said the banks should be given back to the public. I didn't say to get rid of banks, simply give it to the public. Have the money linked to Gold to control the inflation. In theory is sounds easy, it's not. But it's better than the current set up where debt will always grow and the divide between the upper and working class grows.

Unfortunately for some Muslims, religion comes first ahead of everything and I absolutely hate that. Not only Muslims, any religious person who puts their religion ahead of humanity is an animal who deserves nothing but hate.
