Will America survive a Trump administration? : Comments

By Sam Ben-Meir, published 8/6/2016

To still think that a Trump defeat is a forgone conclusion is not only overly optimistic, but plays into the hands of Trump's presidential bid.

Armchair Critic,

None of the grievances you list are news to anyone. Australians are becoming increasingly cynical about their political establishment too. People get it. Americans are sick of the status quo. But there is nothing about Trump, nor his improvised policies, to suggest that he would serve as anything other than a mighty dangerous protest vote.

Most (77%) of what Trump says is false to varying degrees (http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false), he demonstrates no understanding whatsoever of social issues, and a string of failed business ventures (for which the main objective appeared to be getting his onomatopoeic name splashed all over the place) does not exactly fill any thinking person with confidence in his ability to handle the world's largest economy.

Yes, we get it. People are sick of the establishment. But I am yet to see how Trump is an answer to that, even if his rhetoric could be believed let alone achieved.

Armchair, have a serious look at the Joints Chiefs dissing Obma's address in Jan this year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKPZFF1ZeC4 I think the military led by General Joseph Dunford will take control of the USA. They've had enough of the criminals in Wall St.

Some of the stupid ill informed comments by the likes of Suzeonline are not worth a reply. They have no idea

Suse nothing wrong with having an education. The main problem with education today is that the academics want to brainwash everyone to drop kick socialist thinking.

I have a B Sc. too. Earned before Trump got his, & in the day when you had to pay for it, or win a scholarship from a company to get one. Having a B Sc. doesn't make you an academic. Being impractical may help there though.

It is pretty obvious Trump has an education, & is a free thinker. He knows he is looking at a scam when he looks at global warming, is free thinking enough to see it, & has enough guts to shout it from the rooftops.

Now there is someone you want running the place. It will take someone like him to root out the crony capitalism that has flourished under their present drop kick.

Hi A J Philips,
Yes Aussies are getting sick of the bipartisan bs too.
What exactly do you mean he doesn't understand social issues?
You mean he's not politically correct?
That could be a good thing not a bad thing.
And doesn't starting with a million and turning it into 10 billion mean he did pretty well?

He wants to end Obamacare, Audit the fed, lower company tax rates and bring back jobs to the middle class and secure the border.

Hillary shouldn't even technically be in the running because of the email scandal.
Hillary violated section 793 of Title 18 when she ordered Jacob Sullivan to strip the 'top secret' classifications from documents.
It doesn't matter if it was an accident, its considered negligence and a form of espionage in which if prosecuted, she's not able to run as POTUS, and she's guilty.
Also her deleting of emails violated the Open Records law.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for the establishment and 'more of the same'
A vote for Trump is a chance at 'something different'.

Did you know Sheldon Adelson yesterday offered Trump 200million if he'd make Newt Gingrich VP?
Trump turned him down.
They tried to buy him, and he can't be bought.

I heard there was allegations of voter fraud in California overnight as exit polls did not match election results.
(In favor of Clinton I'm guessing)

The news link was amusing, but for something more serious you should try some Judge Janine Pirro or Hannity.

Hey Arjay,
Somebody doesn't agree with somebody else's foreign policies I assume.
They looked pretty mad hey, I'm not sure what to make of it.

I guess in light of US requests to not bomb Al-Nusra its no wonder.
http://www.rt.com/op-edge/345480-us-terrorists-syria-aleppo/
Begs the question whether factions within the US such as the CIA are providing material support to the enemy in times of war.

- I guess that's nothing new to you and me but for everyone else they should be asking what the hell is going on by now?

Just goes to show no-one really pays attention to things going on in the world I suppose.

Pay special attention. We have the highest personal debt exposure on the planet due to housing prices and with China buying far less of our resources have no income or industry to justify our spending.http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-05/5-reasons-country-big-trouble
