Yes i have an opinion the same as you have an opinion ,and my opinion is that he is a racist,sexist, bully .Strangely enough people do form opinions about people from what they see on the news ,from what they see the person in question say on tv and from what they read about the person ,that's pretty much what everybody does

The left wing media isn't in charge of his tweeting machine, you can learn quite a lot about him and his personality in 140 characters

Glad you accept that is all it is and not stating it as fact.

He is not forcing his views on you. He is is saying you are factually incorrect. There is a difference.
Electorate:

all the people in a country or area who are entitled to vote in an election

Kursk said:

The President is acting on his word which is what his supporters, the majority of the electorate, expect ...

and he was wrong.
End of discussion.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Well to be accurate he should have said " the majority of the electorite that cast a vote"
As the majority of the electorate may well be Trump supporters, but they just didn't vote on the day.

But I'm not incorrect.

Not end of discussion. Because you are wrong. It is States which determines the Presidency, not the entire voting population. Trump won more States, so Kursk is right based on how the democracy system works in the US.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
I think the main problem was that the Trump voters didn't really know what they were voting for whereas the Clinton voters did...

Except he isn't right because that isn't what he said, I really don't get the issue here and neither does the donald, if he'd wanted to win the majority of votes he would've just done so

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
He is allowed in law and by the constitution to impose a ban in the first place, so what criteria would be acceptable? Anything other than a complete worldwide ban is going to have an inherent bias to one group or another.

Correct, There should be another vote to determine the outcome of the previous vote.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
And to high light the double standards we have this.
Does Trump beheading cartoon go too far?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38870587
I don't think it goes too far, it's a good cartoon but can you imagine the outrage if it was Muslim being depicted in this way? Let alone if it was a leader of one of the banned states being depicted in this way? They'd all be out burning the Stars and Stripes again.

I assume that's just saying they can't put the ban in whilst they await a proper ruling? Seems awfully fast otherwise.

I agree it is a good cartoon and gets the message across ,it shows Trump beheading democracy ,can't see how it's double standards though.

No that's the ruling by the appeal court ,the only avenue open for trump now is through the supreme court
Quote:
The US federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's request to immediately reinstate a travel ban blocked by a federal judge on Friday.
The ban targeted people from seven mainly Muslim countries.
State lawyers had argued it was unconstitutional and discriminatory.
The federal judge in Seattle had ruled against government lawyers' claims that states did not have the standing to challenge Mr Trump's executive order.
