Cable Forum - U.S President: Donald Trump

Think that is what Hugh was getting at ;)

Worth remembering though that Reagan had been in politics a good while before the run for President including two terms of Governor of California. A Governorship of a major state is probably the closest training for being President.

Yes, there's hope for Arnie yet!

Don't they have to alter the eligibility criteria? Given that Arnie is Austrian.

Indeed as you say he came from Austria and firstly made his name by his bodybuilding exploits and then he moved on to a film career before he then turned to politics.

In the article you posted, Mr Cameron's spokesman has denied it.

Quote:

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Mr Cameron has completely denied Mr Hilton’s take on events.
He said: “David Cameron’s views on President Obama – whether in public or in private – are the same: he considers Barack Obama a hugely accomplished president, a great partner for Britain and a good friend to our country and to him personally.”

I always thought he'd be the US's version of Blair but maybe he's not quite that bad.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

It's probably Hilton trying to make an impact. Most of the criticisms people had of Obama would be that he was aloof in meetings, sitting back whilst others talked, and reluctant to make decisions. I am not sure how much of that is true either but people have said that more than he shut people down.

Bannon is stepping down from the fake news company he chaired.

Quote:

Steve Bannon is stepping down from his role as executive chairman at Breitbart News, the website has confirmed.
The website said in an announcement featured on its front page that Mr Bannon and the news website will work together "on a smooth and orderly transition". Mr Bannon was serving as executive chairman, a post he first took up in 2012.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a8150581.html

Seems like he's the biggest loser from the publication of best-selling book "Fire and Fury".

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Weird thing about Bannon is that he seems to have been the most press friendly guy in the campaign despite claiming to hate the liberal media. He was clearly leaking a lot of stuff.

312 Pages...

I read court documents the other night, how Fusion GPS have tried four different avenues to block Congressional subpoenas in to their bank transactions by filing a lawsuit and that was about 26 pages long. Judge dismissed their case, said did not have the authority to block the scope of the investigatory powers that Congress has granted to them under the Constitution.

I listened to a good chunk of that speech and heard no condescending attitude from Trump at all. I heard a lot cheering though.

According to Wolff, many in the White House were leaking a lot of stuff to the mainstream media. The trick of attacking the mainstream media was ironically what got Wolff his access in the White House too.

Apparently, Trump has told people they're either with him or Bannon but not both. Hence most - like the Breitbart funders - have ditched Bannon.
