Trump's rhetoric was ignored as usual. | | | | | Your name will go on the list! What is it?
Don’t tell him, France!

Ka-ching! The US really needs better value propositions before sending out money.

Trump's rhetoric was ignored as usual. | | | | | Hope he's got a big book for all those names he's taking, this winning he's doing is embarrassing. The US is being taken as seriously as comical Ali

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | That's right. Let's forget about Ireland for a moment.  
Anyway, this is a nut the US has been trying to crack for decades, but it has lacked resolve and leadership. This would not have happened without Trump's leadership. I think many can readily admit that Trump is an awful politician, maybe even the worse ever. But he is a very effective leader nevertheless, and may be one of the best US Presidents we've had in a very long time. | | | | | What has Ireland to do with this discussion?
Are you having a senior moment?
Edit; are you talking about Trump's loss making golf club?

Trump's rhetoric was ignored as usual. | | | | | Not quite that emphatic.
"The non-binding resolution was approved by 128 states, with 35 abstaining and nine others voting against."
"There were 21 countries who did not turn up for the vote." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42446027
So a third (65) of the 193 members either abstained, voted against or didn't turn up.

Good timing for the UN to go on a diet anyway.
Less partying and more facing up to realities.
US can build some nice airports with that money.

Not quite that emphatic
So 26% (62,764,166) of the 235,248,000 eligible to vote in the 2016 US presidential election voted against Hilary or didn't turn up

That’s a new one.
But seriously, this could be an excellent opportunity for the US to improve infrastructure, and provide better education and health care for its citizens. Haven’t seen much evidence yet, but time will tell.
All I hear is financial markets this, financial markets that. Nothing else. I remain skeptical.
