However Trump called on his supporters to do unto the Democrats, this is unfortunate but given the other side's lawlessness probably needed.

So people who exercise their First Amendment rights are bad and lawless?

But it was perfectly fine aparently when the right were doing it it 2009.


That graphic says more about how the Trump organisation does things than anything else by the way.

For the record: Marco Rubio dropped out after losing Florida.
Trump, Cruz, Kasich are still running.

Might want to take a look at who has a tendency to physically assault who at those Trump rallies. And which candidate *actively and explicitly encourages it*.


Just saying.

Apparently President Trump is the equal sixth greatest threat to the world economy, according to the research firm Economist Intelligence Unit as supplied to the BBC News app (Business section - Trump Presidency rated among top 10 global risks: EIU).
Using a scale of 1 -25 (1 = not a big risk, 25 = oh god, we're doomed), the biggest risk events (with ratings) are...
(20) China experiences hard economic landing
(16) Russia's interventions in Syria and Ukraine precede new "Cold War"
(16) Currency volatility cuminates in an emerging markets corporate debt crisis
(15) Beset by external and internal pressures, the EU begins to fracture
(15) "Grexit" is followed by a Eurozone breakup
(12) Donald Trump wins the US Presidential Election
(12) The rising threat of Jihadi terrorism destabilizes the global economy
(8) The UK votes to leave the EU
(8) Chinese expansionism prompts a clash of arms in the South China sea
(4) A collapse in investment in the oil sector prompts a future oil price shock


Make of this what you will.

I think the establishment of the UK are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. He's not my favorite guy and I don't particularly like him, but he's unlikely to destroy the global economy either. The sixth greatest threat to the world economy is an overstatement. Maybe the 6th most annoying, but he has a lot of competition there from Kim Kardashian etc.

It really isn't. The problem with Trump is that he's completely unpredictable. Previous US administrations could always be counted on following realpolitik; the US has a bunch of defined interests and a number of preferred ways of securing them. With Trump, all of that goes out the window. It's like the saying about the greatest swordsman not fearing the one in second place, but the one at the bottom of the ladder.
