that is insulting to the voting majority of america

"Those working-class white people, particularly ones without college education - men and women - deserted the party in droves. Rural voters turned out in high numbers, as the Americans who felt overlooked by the establishment and left behind by the coastal elite made their voices heard."

Trump didn't just beat Hilary, he blitzed the election!

 

Another victory for the ordinary person.

I agree!........... And genuinely hope it turns out that ordinary people benefit from their political victory because like Brexit, it's a gamble........only time will tell!

I know my own industry...its my Job

So do you include yourself in your assessment of the lazy UK building trade? or could it be that you are judging others by your own work ethic! I happen to know hundreds of guys in the building trade and have been involved in it myself in one capacity or another for on and off over 20years and have to say they are probably the hardest working group of people I have ever met, save the odd bad apple of course.

Perhaps this will open an UK\USA open market trade deal now that BREXIT has been won and Trump is the President of the USA, who knows, he kept going on about BREXIT!

Not to mention trump has many businesses interests in the UK. A UK recession would be bad for him I'd have thought so hopefully we'll be at the front of the queue for a trade deal

Call me cynical but ( in my opinion ) He's a business man first and foremost and he will go wherever the money is and wherever that gives his own business empire maximum exposure.

Ah ,the old chestnut of knowing who voted for what and where.

The dust barely settled ,and everyone knows where it went wrong ,or right ...

Just like brexit the people spoke. We are sick of politicians in each other's pockets and lining them together. Trump will cut through the red tape and get stuff done.

I really, genuinely hope he does.. but not even the bouffanted one can cut through congress with any ease.

Will you stop calling him a business man! He inherited his money from his dad and has lost more than he has made. His old man was the smart cookie.

 

The last president was black, this one is bright orange

OK unsuccessful business man that has somehow made a lot of money...through failed businesses.

Isn't the term 'redneck' employed as a derogatory remark to suggest those of inbred low intelligence or intellect?

Rednecks were originally Irish and Scottish workers who worked alongside the black slaves in the fields in the Southern States. To all intents and purposes they were slaves too only in their case they were enslaved by poor (or non existent) wages so they could never escape. Their working conditions were terrible. .

 

So yes its a derogatory expression and in these PC days probably racist

I sincerely hope not we couldn't rely on lazy English ones to get out of the pub and bookies to do the work, they all want twice the going rate for half the work.....and that's a fact :yes:

Clearly you don't know your own industry as well as you think you do otherwise I would fall under your sweeping statement which I don't
