Where's the "agenda"?
By saying agenda you are implying that his administration has or will put forward policies that are sexist, racist and divisive, I have not seen any policies that are promoting those?
What you have posted above is not his agenda.

Tut tut, you're just being argumentative for the sake of it.
Overcome your dog-with-a-bone character trait or your credibility will suffer in this faux heroic crusade against The Man.
Accept the impasse and move on. You're more interesting when less entrenched. .

No, I'd say the divisiveness is typical attitudes of large sections of the left NOT accepting the democratic result, they were suppose to champion the Democratic Party Candidate with slogans and chants of 'Love Trumps Hate', yet they have spewed nothing but hate-filled expletives and some have been violent, damaging property and smashing windows etc etc, all because he is the President. Just like we have the left here, some of them, not accepting Brexit and then slag off the vote leavers with suggestions of a lack of Education.... remind you of anyone close to home ?
You yourself, Mr K, have a very divisive attitude towards any one who voted for Brexit, so stop being a bloody hypocrite !
As for racism....Put it this way, if he was as racist as you and others make him out to be, then why did Martin Luther King III want and manage to have 'constructive talks' with him in the last few weeks to move forward with plans to make it fairer for African American people to vote ?

This illustrates a policy of Trump's which is divisive - banning US organisations from funding any overseas organisation that offers abortions, even if the organisation provides those services from their own funds.
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...oping-contries
The Huffington Post lists 13 instances of Trump's racism. That doesn't mean that people like Martin Luther King III don't feel that it's better to work with him rather than against him. And I agree that it's a good thing to get more people out voting so credit to Trump there. And Trump may not have believed some of the racist comments he made.

Ah yes, that's to appease Mike Pence's God, one who doesn't seem to mind him using campaign funds to pay his mortgage.

If only the republicans had a similar attitude of working together rather than putting their own interests first

I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states.

One of President Donald Trump's top advisers is registered to vote in two states – which the New York business man incorrectly classified as "voter fraud".
Stephen Bannon registered to vote in New York prior to the election, but he still is registered to vote in Florida. He cast only one ballot in New York....
....Incidentally, Mr Trump's daughter, Tiffany, is also registered in two states.
It is not illegal to register to vote in two states – only if more than one ballot is cast.

It's not illegal to be registered in two states, it's illegal to vote in two states..

Would we be happy for all the residents of the Jungle to waltz over the channel and pitch up here? No.
We built our own wall, in Calais, and even moved our border into France to keep out illegals.

Re: US Election 2016
Damien, l am totally in agreement with you. But what if its found out that it was votes for Trump. Then what will he do.
On building the wall. Its already angered many groups in America, claiming its racist. I can happen here.
The tenders will go out, contractors will employ cheap labour. And they will get Mexicans and Immigrant's to build the wall.

Strange how his god didn't stop him benefitting from gambling, you'd think being such a committed Christian that's happy to drive women already in troubled circumstances into back street abortion and has never so much as bought a lottery ticket would baulk at receiving millions on behalf of his party from such evil men. You can only hope that some of that unclean cash was amongst the campaign funds he used to pay his mortgage

Can't re-run 2012 Election as that would breach 22nd Amendment. Voter fraud was not just a problem in 2016 Election.

Getting a little bit sick of the left saying border control is racist : No it is not racist. A border is a border FFS.
