I am a citizen of the US and Australia and, as such, have the privilege of voting in elections of both countries.

The USA has elected Donald Trump as president. Donald Trump was a shonky real estate dealer who stiffed contractors and fought unions. As president he has removed the country from the Paris Agreement dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance starting in the year 2020, removed the US from the Iran nuclear deal, tried and failed to repeal Obamacare, rolled back Obama’s regulations dealing with pollution and climate change, encouraged white supremacists, budgeted more for an already bloated military while cutting funds for scientific research, domestic welfare and diplomacy. He is in the pocket of the NRA which has tried to water down the John Howard gun controls in Australia while opposing gun controls in the US. He has little regard for the separation of church and state which, in my opinion, has been a prime factor in American greatness. He is an admirer of authoritarian leaders such as Putin and Duterte while alienating the democratic European nations which have been allies of the US. He does not respect the US Constitution which has given the House of Representatives the power to determine funding and has issued an emergency to get around that restriction. He has appointed such corrupt individuals as Scott Pruitt to office.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/20/17031772/mueller-indictments-grand-jury lists the 37 Mueller indictments and plea deals. 6 of them were close associates of Trump.

In my opinion he is the worst president the US has ever had. It indicates to me that a sizable body of US voters are poorly educated, prejudiced and easily swayed by demagoguery.

David F- You have made some interesting points here. Respectfully though I disagree with your most of your conclusions and your final one. I will try and get back with reasons later given time.

david f,

"He is in the pocket of the NRA which has tried to water down the John Howard gun controls in Australia while opposing gun controls in the US."

If the rest of your OP is based on the same thorough research as the above then I don't believe a word of it, I guess that you get your 'facts' from the ABC (the Australian one).

oh dear, Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong in this one.

he has removed the country from the Paris Agreement....good
removed the US from the Iran nuclear deal.....good
tried and failed to repeal Obamacare,....failed? Individual mandate gone plus this http://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/25/trump-obamacare-justice-department-1236116

rolled back Obama’s regulations dealing with pollution and climate change....good

He is in the pocket of the NRA....evidence?
has issued an emergency to get around that restriction....actually he issued a Executive Order. Does accuracy matter when in full TDS mode?

lists the 37 Mueller indictments and plea deals. 6 of them were close associates of Trump.....and not a single indictment for collusion!!

a sizable body of US voters are poorly educated....well obviously anyone with doesn't agree with david f is uneducated. No further evidence required.

BTW how educated were all those people who fell for the collusion story?

Dear David F.,

Thank You for starting this discussion.

You're brave to do so on this forum.
The attacks will be sustained and horrendous.

However, I know that you will be more than a
match for those that will try to tear you down.

The closure of the special counsel's probe does not mark
the end of legal woes for Mr Trump and people close
to him.

Other investigations and litigation are
focusing on issues including his business and financial
dealings, personal conduct, charitable foundation and
inaugural committee. Charges have been brought against
34 people - including Russian agents and former key
allies of Mr Trump such as campaign chairman Paul
Manafort, former national security adviser Mike Flynn and
Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

The Mueller report clearly and explicitly did not exonerate
Mr Trump.

Having lived and worked in the US for close to ten years
I'm only too familiar with the Trump persona,
and his reputation as a fraudster, liar,
narcissist who's petulant, and a blatant bigot.
Who believes that any publicity is good publicity
and who doesn't care what other people think.
It's hard to argue with someone who does not listen
or take advice and will deny any and all accusations.

He just may find out that this doesn't always work.
We shall have to wait and see.
