.....but he WAS elected democratically and all he's doing is implementing his immigration policy.....granted he's gone about it the wrong way but it's not as though folk didn't know it was coming, remember he WAS democratically elected by America based on those policies. We have our own issues to deal with.....
Well, technically elected democratically, I suppose but he didn't win the popular vote. A highly flawed system, I think.
I'm certainly not surprised - I knew this was exactly what was coming. The people claiming that he will hopefully 'not be as bad you think' were being hopelessly naive, but it is still sickening.
His immigration policy is absolutely horrifying and disgusting. Banning muslims from entering the country (except those coming from the countries he does business with of course) is beyond all acceptability and totally unconstitutional. I don't know how anyone who supports him can defend it.
His behaviour is our issue; it's the whole world's issue. This maniac will start WW3... He has no idea how to be presidential. And that's without his mind-blowing disdain and disregard for the environment and climate change. And even if what he did didn't affect us in any way, then it's still our duty as human beings to unite and stand up to him.
This goes beyond unpopular political ideals and policies - this is persecution of innocent people.
Teresa May running over to meet him and her fawning acquiescence is shameful. Thanks to Brexit she's basically handing us to him on a platter.
