It's Now Been Over 2 Years Since Trump Has Been Elected, Are You Surprised He's Lasted This Long?

Why or why not?

Biggest diference is that Hillary would have maintained support for Iran's peaceful nuclear program (an Obama achievement of the first order) which Trump has sabotaged to the detriment of German business and world peace.

As opposed to the gentrification of places like Costa Rica by rich Americans? They can go down there indiscriminately but the Costa Ricans aren't allowed anywhere near the US. Seems fair, I'm sure all the Central Americans are overjoyed with that.

Iran? I suspect Trump an Netanyahu are right.

[Theland]

Gentrification? And they spend money there?
How many more sleeping bags on the street does America need?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Good God, we're not "gentrifying Costa Rica, are we?. I thought one of its principle charms and source of wealth was its tropical rain forest and the flora and fauna.

[kvalidir]

Costa Rica is riddled with rich entitled Americans, Us property developers and is very much being gentrified. there are areas there where you won't find hardly any Costa Ricans unless they are there working for Westerners.
Good for the economy you'll say and indeed I'm sure it is, but it's still being gentrified and their people are unwelcome in the US.

[Theland]

And the criminal Clintons?
Is that a consideration?

[kvalidir]

Crikey not sure what happened to my English then VE, apologies, but you get the drift x

[Theland]

What would you do Kvaldir?

[kvalidir]

Bernie Saunders was the way to go, an opportunity missed Theland.

Those of you critisising President Trumps wall should remember the secure fence act under bush, he never got far with it and neither did Clinton or saint Obomba.

Bernie Sanders would be too much of a culture shock.

[kvalidir]

Rather than Trump who is a lack of culture shock :/

[Theland]

Aren't Americans Conservative by nature, and moving to the left will not happen?

[kvalidir]

Not all of them by any means, for sure there is a massive conservative contingent but equally by and large I've found most Americans to be decent, fair minded and progressive, but then most people in my industry are left wing, so that might be quite partisan. Bernie Saunders remains respected however, whereas the Clintons really don't.

[Theland]

I don't think big banks and multinationals would ever allow a move to the left.
