Interesting fact about Trump. His mother was a Macleod from the Isle of Lewis,Scotland. How about that Grass, Trump is a Highlander.

In case you haven't noticed, Trump is trying to tamp down all the crisis spots in the world. Why would you wish for a president to be crisis tested? That means war.

Stop obsessing about the draft. Clinton dodged it too so did lots of people. Got absolutely zero to do with Trumps fitness for leader. Skippy couldn't run a lemonade stand yet somehow people like you voted him in as PM. Don't you care about his (lack of) real experience?

I didn't say I wished for him to be crisis tested, merely that he hadn't been. There are other kinds of crisis than war.
You set the bar very low for a country obsessed with patriotism - doesn't matter if he supports his country or not, doesn't matter if he works with foreign agents as long as it benefits him personally. As long as he's no worse than Bill Clinton he's Ok with you.
I didn't vote Liberal, never have - you must be confusing me with SF3.

Damned immigrants hey? you see what happens when you let them in? Rather bizarrely Trump also keeps repeating the lie that his father was born in Germany when in fact he was born in NYC. You'd think after the fool he made of himself over Obamas place of birth he'd at least get his own fathers right.

He is not popular in Scotland - built a golf course there against strong opposition.
He tweeted recently:
"Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also, furthers U.K. relationship!"

It has lost between $1 million and $2.4 million every year since it opened in 2012.

He also took the Scottish Government to court to prevent a wind farm being built within sight of said golf course. He lost of course and was later ordered to pay the Governments costs of fighting the case.

Face it - this guy is a loser, a con-man and a failure wherever he goes.

Local authorities there said "Trump as an “international pariah” with a brand so toxic it can only damage the reputation of Aberdeenshire."

With their typical sense of humour some Scots have taken to flying a banner overhead when Trump visits saying "Trump - well below par"

After we're all done chewing our fingers to the bone, we'll all be living with decisions made by someone with a spine.
Just not in Canada.

Yes, I believe it would matter. That's the thing with Trump - and he hasn't been tested by a crisis yet - if he was he'd be out of there quicker than you can say "Russian collusion". Anything that was damaging to his business interests, his personal image or his ego and he'd quit. He isn't going to suffer personally for the good of his country - that was the case when he dodged the draft multiple times and I believe it would be the case now.

Same as numbnuts dad ??
In all seriousness though grass, if the russians came a bombing , who would you want protecting your family and you ? Trump or the crybaby ?
This is a serious question

Yeah grass Amazon lost money for a decade before they starting raking it in. So fn what? Businesses do all sorts of stuff. Its their risk to take, not all work, not all work right away. Are you a capitalist. if you are from Europe I doubt it. F we have bombardier here who is a serial handout company.

Let me save you a lot of headache regarding those evil Russians.

Trump was an outsider candidate that threatened the establishment, DNC saw that, wanted to make sure Hilary got in. Hired Steele to go get some dirt on Trump. he didn't know where to go but Russia, paid some guys on the street for made up information, wrote up a report, sent it the Dems who then put it on the back burner until Trump won, then released it an corrupt FBI who didn't vet it then launched a 2 yr probe off it.

The collusion is from the dems, not the Russians. Basically a covert coup to remove a sitting president. Plain as the nose on your face.

Seeing neither would be protecting me personally - in both countries it would be our military forces I would definitely prefer to be here in Canada. Trump is unstable and more likely to cause global warfare than Trudeau. Trump is more likely to precipitate it and more likely to make wrong and rash decisions in response.

Yes, I'm a capitalist from Europe - we've been rather good at it for a long time over there you know. With your lackadaisical approach to business perhaps it's not a surprise that you were admitting recently that you didn't have a viable business for your kids to join. Funny you still spend time boasting about being a wealthy Conservative voter and calling everyone with a different opinion to yours a socialist.
All hat and no cattle as the saying goes.
