2012
Newly elected President Donald Trump has proclaimed National Bad Hair Day as a new Holiday to celebrate his accession to the highest office in the Land. The new 80 floor replacement for the White House, the Trump Liberty Tower has been approved, and the First Lady has been appointed for only a two year term, when she will be replaced by the Second Lady, as is the norm for President Trump, known to the CIA as TOTUS, (Trump of the United States).

Democracy is a wonderful,wonderful thing

America has some odd people going for office. Do the 19% who voted for Mitt Romney just dismiss the fact he is a Mormon and all that goes with believing that ? You may want to look up some of the tenets of Mormonism first.

Magic pants in the Oval office?

[Caulkhead]

A perfect example of why I prefer a constitutional monarchy with an apolitical head of state.

To be honest, he doesn't have a lot in the way of competition at the moment. He will never run though, thankfully

I'm sure it's simply to get the republicans in the news. Nothing better than a bit of a celebrity.

I think it may be more to get Trump in the news

I hope he runs - will make politics a bit more interesting And I'm sure Obama would not mind him running too.

Trump took repeated shots at China, and marveled over Obama hosting Chinese leader Hu Jintao for a state dinner earlier this year, saying: ``When people are screwing you, you don't give them a state dinner.

``Here's what happens if if I'm there. We sit down in my office for a few hours and we make a deal where they stop manipulating the currency. If we make a deal, maybe we give them a state dinner.

``If they don't make a deal, they take McDonald's and go home.''

Trump also mocked NATO's effort to protect rebels in Libya attempting to overthrow strongman Moamer Kadhafi.

In a typical quip, he bellowed: "And who's the leader of the group? France.

"France! They wanted to go in first. We haven't seen them since.''

The businessman also trained his fire on the decision by former US president George W. Bush to invade and occupy Iraq, saying that ``the smart people weren't in charge.''

Yet he expressed concern that when the United States pulls out, Iran will take over Iraq and enjoy the bounty of its oil.

``In the old days, when you had a war and you won the war, it was yours,'' he said. ``Now, when we have a war, we spend all that money and lose all those lives and then we leave. What do we do this for?''

Money makes the world go around.

Trump or Palin, Trump or Palin?

And the US haven't manipulated their currency through QE at all have they?

The state dinner thing alone leads me to believe he is a twunt of the highest order. "We weely weely sowwy Misser Twump, we won won of yor stay dinners, we do deal, e-ne-fin yu won boss, we no likey cheezburger". Soundbite politics and bluster. And the fkkers will fall for it!

You're right. Telling them to fk off to McDonalds until they are a bit more pliable is a far better diplomatic solution.

Obama (and Blair!) got elected using similar tactics, only their soundbites were different.

The odd things associated with that religion, mainly multiple wives, has long gone. Romney has taken many failing businesses and made them profitable. He was appointed to save the Olympics one year, in Lake Tahoe, and turned that black hole into a money maker. He has had to mee payrolls. He was a Governor, which is a chief executive, unlike a Senator. What do you find "bad" about the guy?

[Willie Dee]

Guy is a dick, but fair play, he is very very good at what he does.

[Guybrush]

He's a bit cleverer than one may think if just looking at his image and the odd soundbite. Anyway, who have we had running things in the UK under the last government for 13 years? Marxists and Trotskyists. MMMM, much better....

You think he came across well in that interview? He sounds like a pub politician.
