Very misleading.
GS funds about 0.01% of Cruz's PACs.
This is what I love about Trump. He makes sure that when someone is looking to screw him that he screws back. Scotland will shut up and take the money. £700m is over a billion dollars US. Theyd be fools to do something stupid like this.
The petition has more than 600,000 signatures.
Just think, more than half a million people in England want to stick their nose into our political system and punish one of our presidential candidates.
I hope they live to regret it! I hope the UK asks us for help dealing with their muzzie population and we tell them no way!
“The majority of Scots already wish to be declared independent of England, once and for all.”
That might be what saves them from being part of the Muzzie invasion....
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. We’ve seen British politicians do some pretty extensive caving in recent years to political pressure from the Muslim lobby. But, even if the decision is a foregone conclusion, Trump did the right thing. He sent a warning shot that if they don’t make the right decision there will be consequences. Those are the actions of a prudent politician. It shows that he’s not weak and that he’s not going to sit by passively to wait for a decision to be handed down from on high.
The first was a marriage reference to Heidi (Goldman VP on leave) and the second is a reference to all other corporate interest.
And the Pipers Play “Scotland The Brave” while the “Scots A Boot Ya”
Is Trump the only "good" billionaire or might other billionaires such as Cruz donors, have patriotic intentions?
The UK wants his $$$, but not him? The UK is a bunch of KOOKS!!!
Were you asleep in Sept 2014?.
We Scots voted to STAY in the United Kingdom, with England, Wales and NI.
Erm, hold on.
TRUMP is the one who stuck his nose in OUR affairs. He was the one who has made comments about London, the UK and Europe. And I say that as someone who opposes the idiotic call for a ban, which btw wont happen.
600000 out of 62 million. So 99 Brits in a 100 DONT support a ban.
Yes, I recall that stunning outcome. It seemed very close till the last few weeks, but the percentage spread was quite large; 55.3% voting NO independence, and only 44.7% in favor.
I saw a great deal of passion for those who wanted to separate. Maybe pro-separation was the predominate bias of the media on this topic at that time, because it seemed more controversial.
Cruz gets a little media speaking to an empty Senate floor, but other than that - when they needed to give everything to Iran and when they needed to give Obama his globalist giveaway - Cruz was there for his corporate masters.
The NO vote was 60% for most of 2014, only in Aug did it start to close up.
28 of 32 regions voted NO. Which the Nats ignore. And in two of those, it was anti-toryism not pro-Natism that won the YES vote.
Of 5.5m Scots, 1/3 didn’t or couldn’t vote, so far from being ‘the 45!’, the YES camp is actually the ‘33 and a third!’, lol.
Get it. A temporary moratorium for this country! He didn't ask for a ban... he didn't even say Europe should do the same.
What happened is that folks in Europe immediately stuck their nose in our business! Hey, you don't want Trump over there? Really? If he is elected President you will be begging him to come over - and as usual - it will be to bail you out of something.
Sigh.
1—Yes, he did. Talked about London, UK police and no-go areas. If Cameron or even Farage talked about US gun control or any US issue, theyd be rightly told to butt out.
2—Most British like Trump. 600000 on a petition out of 62 million. That less than 1%.
3—Bail us out?. Oh dear, back to history class for you.
As far as 'butting out' is concerned that's your option, which is quite different than banning someone. That is butting in. Trump had every reason to mention the no-go areas as further justification for calling for a moratorium. The police over there verified that they cannot wear uniforms in certain areas. It's also worth mentioning how defenseless your citizenry is with all of your gun control.
Hey, it's your country. Do what you want. But I appreciate anybody running for President over here to point out what we don't want to be like, even if it hurts your feelings.
Should I mention all of the rapes in Germany now and the government's attempts at silencing the public. And should I even mention that all the mace is sold out everywhere... too bad women can't carry a handgun. Oh, that's right... I'm butting in.
I see. Thanks for making that clear. It’s a very, very big decision. Probably irreversible. Good that it was finally put to a vote.
1—Snooty?. Do you realise how insulting it is to us and to the millions of Commonwealth and Empire soldiers and their families to have 70 yrs of ‘we saved you’?. America was one of the nations that helped Britain. One which we are grateful for, but one. Without Canada for example, Britain would have been much worse off. Our biggest WW2 supplier of war material. Not to mention Australia, NZ, India, S Africa, the British Empire from the Caribbean to Hong Kong, Gibraltar to Africa (black and white). Not just men, but material the UK and US couldn’t supply.
Since when it is snooty to tell Americans to stop insulting our brave men and women and millions of brave men and women across the world, dead and alive. It is not I who does not value what millions of men and women did in two world wars. I am grateful of the bravery and sacrifice of America in 1917-18 and 1941-45. They are heroes, amongst tens of millions.
And yes, I have family who fought: at places like Passchendaele, Normandy, Caen, the Arctic Convoys, the Malta Convoys. So understand who insulting it is to read year after year the ‘we saved you’/’bailed you out’ crap from the US.
2—If Trump wants to talk about the UK and Europe, then Americans have to accept said folk will reply. You cant have it both ways. Americans cant complain if the Limeys and Yooros start talking about Trump in negative terms. Trump made it our business, so don’t start complaining if said Limeys and Yooros want to debate banning him. Which btw I oppose and is a minority belief. Most British do NOT support any ban, which wont happen anyway.
3—Bad gun laws aside, the British police aren’t banned from guns nor are defenceless.
4—Some unnamed police have claimed Trump is correct. As a Brit, I can assure you the UK police do not not go into certain areas nor take off any uniform. Yes, there are bad areas, some of them with young Muslim radical youth, but there, like the US, always been ‘dodgy’ areas where police are hated, gangs are rife. Most UK areas like that are urban white or black. If Trump had said there are trouble Muslim areas, hed have been spot on. But to claim UK police don’t go into areas, need permission, take off uniforms etc is hyperbole. There ARE areas where Muslim radicals try to run street sharia, but many of those have been arrested and jailed. In short, there are problems, but we need to separate the reality from the hyperbole.
4-—Trump or any US politico can say what they want about the UK or foreign countries, but if so, they and their supporters have to accept those furrners have an equal right to comment back.
