Donald Trump Compared To Sunac/Starmer
Well, there really isn't any comparison with our lack lustre policy-less leaders of both major parties is there ?
'Whereas Trump’s second-term plans are no mystery. They’re all laid out in a series of ‘Agenda 47’ videos he put out last year. He will ‘build on his historic success’ of reducing America’s dependence on China through ‘universal baseline tariffs’. ‘The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro–American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsources to a system that rewards domestic production and taxes foreign companies and those who export American jobs.’
He has proposals to restore law and order, execute drug dealers, [Wow!] ‘give power back to American parents’, ‘protect children from left-wing gender insanity’ and ‘students from the radical left and Marxist maniacs’.
He warns that ‘World War III has never been closer than it is right now’ and pledges to smash ‘the corrupt globalist establishment that has botched every foreign policy decision for decades, and that includes President Biden’. He promises ‘peace through strength’. Easier said than done, but it’s a potent message when voters look at worsening situations in Ukraine, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Trump’s twin policy obsessions are immigration and energy security. He has said that he will not be a dictator ‘other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling.’ He vows to undo Biden’s Green New Deal (‘I call it Green New Hoax’) and revive US industry by ‘ensuring that America has the lowest cost of energy of any industrial country anywhere on earth… We will develop the liquid gold that is right under our feet… and more energy will mean lower inflation and it’ll mean more jobs.’
If you were a U.S. citizen, why would you not yote for him??

NJ – While equally pay rights were restored before the EU Revocation Bill meant they were lost; the UK government has made changes to the Working Time Directive (Working Time Regulations) and changes to employment law, so some will lose out as a result of these changes enacted as a result of Brexit – so the loss of rights gained through EU membership has already begun, and would no doubt accelerate in the unlikely event that the Tories were to win the next GE.
NJ //“I can't remember when I last bought an American product,…”//
To which you counter with a list from the internet of imports . Please, I didn't say we do not trade with the US, but the issue was first about automobiles and if you travel around there you will see many Volvos, VWs, Jaguars etc. but hardly any American cars in Europe. Trump simply wants to increase the import tariffs to save jobs in Detroit.
That is why, amongst many other things, he will become the next president .
//Interestingly, Putin has backed Biden to be US president in the 2024 election – go figure.//
Not that puzzling really Hymie. He said he'd prefer Biden to win.
It's a fairly unsubtle attempt to help get his useful idiot elected by plugging his opponent. Anyone that gets Putin's endorsement can't be good right?
"...so the loss of rights gained through EU membership has already begun,"
I was talking specifically about rights to equal pay which, as far as I know, remain intact.
But the other things you mention are exactly what Brexit was supposed to enable. It is for the UK government to determine UK employment law, based on conditions that prevail solely in the UK. It is not a matter for foreign bureaucrats. You will note in the explanation about revised holiday pay entitlements, this:
"These changes will reverse the outcome of the Supreme Court’s judgment in Brazel v Harper Trust which resulted in some part-year workers and irregular hours workers having a greater entitlement to holiday pay (as a proportion of their annual earnings) than workers with normal working hours over a full year."
The UK has decided that the EU regulations were unfair and so has changed them.
You will also note this, regarding requesting flexible working hours:
Changes to the right to request flexible working – April 2024
The Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023 makes changes to the right to request flexible working which come into force in April this year.
The changes to the law will:
- Extend the statutory right to request flexible working to all employees from day one of employment.
- Allow employees to make two requests a year (instead of the current one request per year).
- Reduce the time allowed for an employer to respond to a request for flexible working from three months to two.
- Remove the requirement for the employee to set out how their employer can deal with effects of the change in working pattern.
And this to do with pregnancy and family leave:
Extended protection relating to pregnancy and family leave – April 2024
As the law currently stands, employees affected by redundancy during family leave are entitled to be offered a suitable alternative vacancy (where one is available).Draft regulations have been published which provide for extension of the above right to cover:
- Women from the date they tell their employer they are pregnant and for a period of eighteen months from the birth;
- Women who miscarry for up to two weeks after the miscarriage;
- New parents taking shared parental leave for more than 6 weeks or adoption leave for up to 18 months from the placement / birth.
Far from "removing rights", these new arrangements seem to be benficial to me. You seem to be suggesting that since they no longer align with EU law, they must be detrimental. But in any case it doesn't matter. As I repeatedly say, Brexit was about removing the power of veto the EU held over the UK Parliament. And it's done just that.
Untitled //unfortunately i don't think "misguided" is the word. i actually think trump's supporters are in complete agreement with you about what he would do in office. the difference is that they approve of it. //
That is of course true of some of them, but there are a large number that are somehow not seeing something that is obvious to the rest of us.
I think the phrase for it is cognitive dissonance.
I would ask khandro, as a vocal critic of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, what he thinks about the fact that Trump has never criticised Putin on this or any other subject.
Also the fact that he's a big admirer of Putin's shill Victor Orban and Putin's weapons supplier Kim Jong un.
I don't want a response to this. I'd just like him to give it some thought.

If you really want to know the answer to that question, all you need do is watch the video I linked to above at 21:52, where it is dealt with unequivocally.
As is the "bloodbath" comment, which was just an ironic exaggeration is covered to put Hymie's mind at rest & has nothing whatsoever to do with blood - or baths.
I remember watching a TV programme many years ago. Probably "That's Life".
They showed a picture of a clean shaven man and transcripts of translations of some his very patriotic speeches. They asked people if they would vote for him from what he said. Most said yes.
They then put a moustache on him and you immediately recognised him as Adolf Hitler.
