Their is, people who have been educated to think a certain way are throwing toys out of the pram.

That is pretty good for me.

Simple answer to that.

The Republican establishment never wanted Trump as their candidate.

They dont want him as their President. They will do all they can to neutralise his agenda.

Why would the political elites want someone that is trying to smash up the cosy international agreements that benefit their multi-national backers at the expense of small/medium sized Americian business?

It is the people that voted Trump in not the GOP.

That is an interesting point.

Do you think Trump is a set up by the establishment then?

Put in someone who will make false promises and not want/be able to follow them so that no one will dare stand up against the establishment again?

I am not saying it is impossible but it seems unlikely to me.

Bizarre, the next President  will be a billionaire.

Trump is Putin's puppet....Putin won the election for the maggot.....Putin has the videos of some very nasty deeds !

Grow up Leopard. That whole file was totally and utterly discredited months ago.

Good point.

The media needs a complete overhaul on the way it is set up. Breitbart has been a massive success, one of the biggest successes in recent times, to infiltrate the left wing globalisation of our planet where a majority have little say on its future is only a good thing.

Only a completely gullible minion would believe that any change in the economy at this stage was due to Trump's policies.  The market has jumped because he has promised huge corporate/high earner tax cuts and as yet has proposed no way of financing them other than the standard "build it and they will come/trickledown" nonsense that never works.

"globalist inspired regulations" you mean like allowing businesses to pollute water courses and reviewing the Clean water Act?  Or revoking Obama's fair pay and safe workplaces orders?

I'll give you some free advice IT.  Putting "globalist" in front of everything doesn't win any arguments and just makes you seem utterly obsessed.

very good.

Here's another "globalist inspired regulation" that Trump is binning.

The bill cancels out a Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that would have required oil and gas and mining companies to disclose in detail the payments they make to foreign governments in a bid to boost transparency in resource-rich countries.

Well done Dave.

You have are able to read the Washington Post!

Is your other paper of choice the New York Times by any chance?

And you favourite 'news' station CNN?

Why do you care about taxes and immigration into the USA though?
Do you care about it in say, Denmark or Canada or Kenya.
I doubt it.
Are you American?
As for you last line. It isn't necessarily everyone else that's wrong about him. It isn't necessarily 'The establishmet'. He's no enemy of big business. It IS possible you know, that he just IS very very bad.

My prediction - He'll get impeached at some point, or have to stand down, then, possibly to avoid prison, will suddenly be found to be ill with dementia.
Within 6 months.

US tax on business is completely different to the UK's.
Constant assistance to big business goes right through British establishment from Councils to Government.
Small business has be obliterated for the past 40 years to a point where nearly every high street is deserted and every town has more or less the same shops.
Big business owners are able to take advantage of lower tax for them in the UK.
Some of the worst things the USA has to offer (and it has some marvellous things, I know, I lived there for a while) are adopted in the UK.
The marketing, the actual companies, the relatively poor quality, the striving for profit above all else.
The regarding of staff as a necessary expense that has to be suffered rather than an asset and a means to success, which -here - they once were.

Energy might be better spent lobbying councils and government to allow people to park their cars near small shops, than supporting Trump and how things are in the USA.

Checking on and making sure big companies in the UK pay all THEIR taxes - wherever they're from. If they don't. Kick 'em out, someone else with more scruples will fill the gap.
And
speaking of scruples - Trump has none.

You make interesting points SF.

They certainly got the gambling companies to pay their tax with the point of consumption tax which leveled the playing field.

The regulations in the betting industry still benefit the bigger firms.

In fact they love the regulation because with their economies of scale it is easier for them to implement the regulations.

I have one (small) business interest in the USA that manufactures locally (in USA) and would benefit from lower taxes and cheaper costs. I would rather the manufacturing was kept in the USA than moved offshore taking jobs with it.

If there is a subject I SERIOUSLY know all about it's the regulation of gambling companies, the GC and bookmaking in the UK.

The point of consumption tax doesn't really work because (it is quite possible, allegedly) there is no proof of the amounts of profits on which tax are paid are declared accurately. Hence none of the companies leaving abroad coming back to the UK.

They absolutely benefit the bigger firms to a point where there are fewer the 100 independent betting companies left - down from over 500 just 7 years ago.
I've owned 2 of them. Not any more.

The regulators are hardly necessary, as they are mostly self-propelling and haven't really implemented anything that wasn't being implemented either willingly or by law, before their existence. They are also toothless and will never fully crack down on the big firms, as they work so closely with them and they provide their income.

I really could go on about this at greater length than normal and indeed I have in the past.

The whole tax system is based economies of scale as you say and I agree the leniency shown to the biggest companies is unfair. The nation of small shopkeepers is no more as a result.

This is all about the UK though.
I very much doubt that Trump is really that bothered about it in the US, unless it affects him personally.

I assume you are referring to me.

Where did I once defend ANYONE engaged in political violence or say that I agreed with any doctrine coming from the mouths of Nazis, Klan and assorted White Supremacists?
