I believe (therefore an opinion before everyone gets their knickers in a twist) that many people think Trump is different as they expect the President of the US to act like an experienced politician who tries to use diplomacy (which is often ineffective) to achieve his goals. Americans were tired of the same lack of results from waffling politicians and elected a businessman to lead the country. If you try to shoehorn him into the 'politician' pigeonhole, he will definitely be 'different'. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This country was destroyed by PT and we will not recover for some time. Your point about good governance being more important the economic philosophy- Thats an contradiction in relation to Brasil's thieving Left wing Communist politicians- Your statement would be correct in a first world country. Look up Jeitinho Brasileiro its a little quirk that most Brazilians have in their DNA- Its okay to steal and rob, this came from the worse breed that existed during the colonisation period- The Portuguese, basically Arab Gypsys with Shoes on, what happened the Portuguese came here and robbed and procreated and unfortunately that Portuguese gene is still prevalent. I better stop now, I wish the British had colonised Brasil as do most Brazilians.... Currently facepalming which is turning into a full slapping lol........ Jair Bolsonaro with the help of MR Steve Bannon will get this country whipped into a state, he is currently being stifled by the the "Centrao" ( a mixture of weekend politicians who bent over and took one for Lula and are now backtracking), but if he cannot get leverage by the end of this first mandate, he will do the right thing and call in the military, this countries safest period was during the dictatorship, come down and take a trip through Rio, we have more people killed a day than Afghanistan by factions that PT assisted.

Sem problema, meu portugês não esta tao bom, muito confuso na conjugação das verbas, its a hard language to master and I am no master a servant.... Sim a problema com as ladroes esta fora de control , rio cheio de bala perdido matando inocentes , o situação esta difícil quando as bandidos tem armas mais pesado do police..... Yep the problem with the thieves is out of control, Rio is rife with stray bullets which are killing innocent people, its a bad situation when the bandits are better armed than the military or police. Im impressed with your language skills as portuguese is really hard to learn if your nor immersed in the country or hearing the language spoken daily, I suppose that's the same with any language.

Meanwhile Brexit.......😀 The issue with people on the far right and far left is that they are conditioned to only think in terms of “communist” and “racist” about anyone who sits on the other side of their spectrum. Many people in Europe and the US are starting to fall for stigmatizing populists who make people believe that there is no middle ground. They fall for these “leaders” because they are discontent and angry. Because corporations have figured out that good people elsewhere do the same amount of work faster (because they work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week) and for 20% of the cost. Because the US-born, greed-indused 2007 recession created unprecidented challenges for Western families. Because they have a hard time adapting to the new reality. Because they are getting old and inflexible. Edited August 22, 2019 by Tommie77 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the POTUS do you think his threats are appropriate. It takes a really ignorant view of reality to equate threatened retribution for a sneak attack to genocide. By your (non existent) logic,starting with Eisenhower, every American president has "threatened countries with genocide". It's called mutually assured destruction dickfor and has been official US policy for decades. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
