[naomi24]

According to the BBC last night he also said that unless Hamas releases the remaining hostages before his inauguration, 'all hell will break loose'.

A rocky ride ahead?

[theshedman]

I watched his interview last night and it looked like he had lost the plot completely.  Threats here there and everwhere  There was something about him that looked different to the usual.  Could be problems ahead.

"A rocky ride ahead?"

"Could be"?

Definitely...there's little doubt that bad times are coming, both in the US and abroad.

[naomi24]

He just seems to have his sights set on so many major - and highly ambitious -  'projects'.  

[rockyracoon]

Probably will be as likely to happen as the 'wall' he promised whilst he was insitu before.

We have been on a rocky ride for quite a a while now, I'm surprised it has passed you by.

[naomi24]

It hasn't passed me by - but it's about to get rockier.

> There was something about him that looked different to the usual.  

I think he was physically looking a lot better. I think the campaign trail was probably hard for an old man, even one living in the lap of luxury.

Mentally ... oh, let's not go there!

he is deranged. completely unsuitable to be president.

No doubt it would be in USA interests to annex Greenland (I don't think Denmark has done it much good) and the Panama canal. Dunno if he can do it though.

(untitled he is deranged). completely unsuitable to be president and the last one was better or the one who stood to be president I really doubt your judgement.

really max? a man who stops a public event to stand there and dance for 40 minutes strikes you as being well-equipped to run the USA does he? he's obviously not well and hasn't been for a while. 

 

[naomi24]

He said China currently controls the Panama Canal.  Do they?

[youngmafbog]

The TDS is strong today.

Nothing like The Donald to wind up the left.

He is all noise, it will settle.

[max137]

I didnt support Trump I was just making a relevant point "untitled" which you failed to answer.

[davebro3]

//to stand there and dance //

Oxymoron?

Apparently a chinese company runs two of the canal ports.

[Untitled]

the government of panama has leaned a lot more toward china in the last few years and the government of panama controls the canal. there is some truth to it.

[jackthehat]

He's as mad as a box of frogs and has the ability to magically repair his own ear so why shouldn't he embroil the western world in a war......after all if it's good enough for those in the 'east' (middle and european) it must be good enough for the U S of A.

[ToraToraTora]

The canal is run buy Panama via the PCA, a public sector department, it earns approx £3bn a year. I can't see how the Chinese can be said to run that.

[naomi24]

Thanks Dave.  I didn't know that.

what point did you want me to answer max? and why would you want an answer from me on anything if you doubt my judgement? lol.
