Well, it does seem like we do still export to the USA. It's probably not the kind of thing they want though.

Are assassins covered under TTIP ?

he's an illegal apparently : must be a message here.

There will be a "war on political hate". Well, the equivalent "war on terror" has worked so well hasn't it?

If we demonise politicians and key spokespeople we have to also accept that sometimes an individual will target someone like Trump or Jo Cox.

There is no middle ground.

Donald Trump scores higher on psychopath test than Hitler...

In spite of headlines, actually a very interesting article...

Malthusian

Mr Trump did not sit the tests himself but experts on political figures gave their opinions on how he would have scored against the questions to measure PPI-R.

About as interesting as his horoscope.

I wonder how those people who voted for Brexit feel when they see Nigel Farage now rallying in support of Trump.

Isn't there a deep rooted unsettling sense of shame to see someone you thought was sane now standing up on the podium supporting the most corrupt and dangerous politician the western world has seen in centuries?

I would like to think that not all Brexit voters support Trump. However, Trump supports all Brexit voters - and that should make you think that you played your part in giving power to these toxic leaders and their dangerous rhetoric

The most interesting thing is that like Brexit. There's many people that don't normally vote. Trump may galvanise those disinterested in old school politics. Where lobbyists influence and dictate policy with their funding of politicians. Whether you like him or not. Trump has unsettled the establishment. Never any harm in a good shake out.

Trump wants gun control. As mad as he is. This may be very appealing to a large section of the American people. Given the never ending series of mass shootings that occur. In what is supposed to be a highly civilised society.

If there's an elephant in the room. One cannot simply ignore it.

Where did you hear that?

Trump is a fierce supporter of gun ownership, owns guns himself, his sons travel to africa to exterminate the endangered species that are left there. He has said: "Gun ownership makes US safer, not more dangerous". At the republican convention he actually uttered these words verbatim : "I am against gun control"

Please educate yourself on the policies of a mad psychopath before you give him any sort of positive credit. It's extremely dangerous to misunderstand a crazy person.

Obama was the one who wanted to move towards gun control and couldn't fight against the strong lobby that supports gun ownership.

Trump wrote a book some years ago. He strongly believes in common sense gun control measures. This has nothing to do with gun ownership. Don't confuse the issues.

Money rules. Difficult to disagree with those that help fund your campaign.

That's what was refreshing about Brexit. Everybody had an equal voice to express an opinion.
