Some of his policies will cause the world some discomfort but the world won’t come to an end and foreign dictatorships won’t flourish from it. The US will see a rise in prosperity and UK/US relations will be on standstill. Liberals will gnash their teeth and cry the end of everything but nothing much will change, here or anywhere else in the world. Get over it.

Let’s remind ourselves that Trump has been the US President before. I agree that some of his foreign policy opinions are ill-conceived, but the end of the world and life as we know it is not threatened. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @quilp need to go and look at Project 2025 and the people involved. A lot of them were members of the previous Trump administration. Trump himself has tried to distance himself from the group behind it but has in fact spoken at some of their events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Perlstein is correct when basically he states that most of what Project 2025 opines is unlikely to see fruition. I'd agree. You all seem to be fearfully convinced that it's going to be a walk-over for Trump. I wouldn't be betting on that just yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
