The thing that scares me about Trump is that he sees things that others don't.

Gay rights are protested around the world all the time Mick.The most famous and regular being the Gay Pride March that happens every year to commemorate the Stonewall riots.They also march for gay Muslims ,there are marches in Israel,Turkey and India every year.The reason why there is such depth of feeling against Trump by the gay community around the world is because of his open and unashamed hypocrisy in stating that he has nothing against the gay community but wants to repeal or at least hinder gay marriage as much as he can .He has the attitude that being gay is ok as long you don't think you are equal to everyone else.



Firstly you have understand that it's Madonna and she has made a career out of being controversial and secondly she was warming up the crowd for a stage show for the comedian Amy Schumer .Yes it was distasteful but she is allowed to do it because it's her choice unlike the women that Trump groped without their consent

Apparently the fact that fewer people turned out for the inauguration is all media lies and apparently the spat between the security agencies and Tump where all media lies as well .Trump appears to be forgetting that he has let his mouth run on camera and on Twitter ,he also needs to realise that the media will play a huge part in his presidency and he needs them on side .

What I find more perturbing is that there will be many who believe him, in spite of all available evidence to the contrary, even though I doubt he believes it himself!

The White House Press Secretary comes across as a complete numpty, the press will have a field day with that clown.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Well, exactly.His press secretary sean spicer has told every one that the inauguration was the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration despite video footage and photographic evidence to the contrary ,they even tried to use a photo of Obamas inauguration until people realised and they had to remove it from the site.

Was he trained by Iraq's Comical Ali? :)
He sounds a bit of a "yes" man who will pander to Trump's whims rather than act as a trusted professional adviser.

The fact that Trump only gained 4.1% of the vote in Washington DC means that the turnout would probably be lower than for a Democrat President but I don't see why he has to lie about it. It suggests a bit of insecurity; which is worrying for someone in his position of power.

Re: US Election 2016
 

i watched it on TV as did most of the world that's a large audience , 31 million in the US alone watched it on tv .

Re: US Election 2016
 

It would be interesting to see TV viewer numbers as the controversy probably made these very high.
But I don't think TV viewers fit into the definition of witnesses.

Re: US Election 2016
 

if that's what fits your agenda .

Re: US Election 2016
 

Neither do i ,he's also said that the feud between him and the security services was made up lies by the media despite footage to the contrary.


Trump is in for a short sharp shock .In his business world he could surround himself with 'yes' men and people to constantly 'big' him up ,if he does that now ,as it seems he is trying to do, he will very quickly be exposed as someone who talks big but cannot deliver the results .

Spicer specifically said "in person" ,he also said the use of protective sheets made it look like there where huge gaps in the crowd

---------- Post added at 11:14 ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 ----------

31 million viewers according to ratings firm Nielsen ,far fewer than the 2009 Obama inauguration which is understandable ,the real question though is how many watched out of support and how many watched out of morbid curiosity to see what he will do next :D

Re: US Election 2016
 

Quite.



As usual these two only cherry pick what they want out of what was said.

True or not until global figures actually come in any comment to the contrary is mere speculation.

Re: US Election 2016
 

i watched a piece on the bbc a group of women[trump supporters ] in the capital trying to get to a position where they could be close enough to see Trump, due to security etc it was not possible to get close they listened at a distance to a very poor pa system because that was the only option that was available.

Re: US Election 2016
 

I've said that the global TV audiences could be high but these since when have "witnesses" been people sitting at home watching something on TV?
As I and others have explained before, Washington is 96% Democrat and the surrounding areas are Democrat strongholds as well. Therefore, it's not surprising that Trump would get fewer numbers along and it's nothing to be defensive about. If the ceremony was held in Texas then doubtless the Democrats would have fewer attendees than the Republicans. Hopefully they wouldn't do a Trump and pretend otherwise.

It has long been accepted that millions of people "witnessed" the lunar landing in 1969.

Now, according to you. They didn't.

Screw you, I did!
