    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Ah you remind me of my former favourite footballer Liam Gallatau who had the hole running and tackling ability of Liam Fulton, directness and strength of Dene Halatau and the size and ginger of Keith Galloway.

    Donald Trump

    By the way, congratulations to us for getting to 4 pages without excessive inflammation. I don't know where those other pro-inflammatory people got to, expect they might come online later and kill this thread off by tomorrow.

    Donald Trump

    OK then I don't want to give anyone in Australia the equivalent Powers of the US President and I'd vote strongly against it.

    Donald Trump

    The answer is to slowly remove the illegals from the system. Maybe even make them legals!! Not just round them all up, there's too much shock outcome from that. For tariffs you hit the nail on the head, something I already said but you overlooked. "The imported product ends up being expensive...

    Donald Trump

    You said "We need a leader like that. Big ambition and gets things done." I asked which countries, you said US and Argentina were "showing people how it was done". I asked how Australia is comparable to Argentina or who we should be replicating. You now say nobody is saying we need to replicate...

    Donald Trump

    I honestly don't follow. I'm not creating complication, those topics are inherently complicated. There are human elements at all levels resisting the status quo and also resisting changes. Seeing complication follows exactly what you suggested - you can consider the macro first, by all means...

    Donald Trump

    That's fine, I really do look forward, truly, to 2029 when Trump 2.0 can be adequately assessed. I just want the Trump enthusiasts to promise they will judge him on actual results and not make excuses if he's an ordinary president again. It's fine to predict he'll do a good job, it's fine to...

    Donald Trump

    Which countries do you mean, which ones move fast? Who should we be attempting to replicate? Replicate US and Argentina you mean? Argentina put themselves in a hole through populist over-spending, you don't need to be rash when your economy is already doing well. Australia's economy is...

    Donald Trump

    How do I know that immigration, inflation, cost of living, poverty, climate change etc. are very complicated? Surely you jest.

    Donald Trump

    I would be worried foremost about the COST just to move them on. It will cost billions to round up all these folks, detain them, then figure out some mechanism to deport them all. Let alone, as you say, the jobs they do and the potential price impact over time when you replace illegals with...

    Donald Trump

    I appreciate the depth of the post. I just wish we could all agree, that by now, Trump has surely done enough to prove he's not an adequate leader. I've never seen someone get so many excuses, free passes and chances. He's the ultimate Teflon man. It has legitimately become cultish how much...

    Donald Trump

    Have you not ever considered why governments move slowly? That it's generally by design? Most large organisations move slowly, that even includes the military who are explicitly designed for rapid decisions when necessary, but as an organisation on a whole they do everything extremely...

    Donald Trump

    Also - if this was Trump's first term then your last sentence I'd agree with, give him time and a chance. But this is like Madge asking for a contract renewal after 4 seasons. You might like the bloke but he's already had his shot and didn't do well the first time around.

    Donald Trump

    Not exactly. My take is many of his actions are clumsy and ill conceived and that he mostly doesn't have the solutions he claims to. His famously quoted as saying "I have the concepts of a plan". For example Trump said he'd end the Ukraine War in 1 day. It's been 2 weeks since he's had power...

    Donald Trump

    I agree. And conversely I quite often disagreed with Paul Keating though I voted Labor back then, I could see he had talents for governing at that time.

    Donald Trump

    I doubt Biden is actually an imbecile. But no, don't particularly care about Biden. I was not affected when he pulled out. I wasn't fussed when Reagan was the US leader, or either of the Bush presidents. My personal preference is a reliable, honest, non-isolationist US President. Specifically...

    Donald Trump

    You'll have to provide more details about how Trump is standing up to Hamas? Last I was aware the Israelis were pummelling Hamas to smithereens during the Biden administration - there's actually been the ceasefire in place since before Trump came to office. In defence of WHO, it literally is...

    Donald Trump

    It appears to me hysteria replaced by sober concern. Last time they were worried how bad it might be, this time they know.

    Donald Trump

    It could be fairly argued that he either doesn't understand or doesn't care about the inherent intricacies of what he is trying to achieve, as if he is surprised that unravelling certain threads of government causes significant downstream issues. So for example Trump can SAY he'll end the...

    Investment Opportunities

    Index Funds are the way to go if you've paid off your debts. Crypto is a scam. edit: if you are already rich, by all means speculate like mad on crypto and hope mugs plow in their money after you do. The fact that capital flew to Tesla and crypto only because Trump was voted in shows you how...
