“Another soothsayer predicting what Trump will do. The American people have spoken and they are not sad.”
Well this is what he has just done. Appointed Fox News host as Defence secretary 🙄 - @Lotus Eater

I thought you were joking

It seems the man has some military experience in his time as part of the forces that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, but his main qualification seems to be as a yes man for Trump.

Will US forces be exiting Germany soon?

It's funny, two guys from the UK one from Indonesia and another one from down under are worried about us Yanks because we elected Trump for a second time.


The Citizens elected President Trump again. It has to be the greatest comeback since they were not consecutive terms. This is only the second time in our history.


Funny, the American people didn't fair badly the first time and these four people are worried about us.

“American people spoke loudly on November 5 and it is good to know that the democracy in our Republic is functioning well.”

Come on Dan. I’m not going to let you get away with that drivel.
Do you really believe that if your ‘punt’ Mr T had lost that the veracity of that statement would stand up?🙄 - @Lotus Eater

Sorry sir but facts are facts. Trump won, too bad for you. If Trump had lost, I would personally have been very concerned about our Constitutional rights and apparently, so was most of the VOTERS. It felt so great for wife and me to vote early in swing state NC which Trump subsequently won...to think we did our small part and yeah, that's the democracy within  our Republuc in action. If this is drivel, we'll, it's.my kind of drivel lol. Trump won. 👍

The wokes are worried about the secretary of defense appointee, I would have been worried about Harris being the Commander and Chief.


There are 900 Generals in the service, twice as many in WW2. Woke heads (generals) are going to roll.

Trump will be in command of the largest military in the world. He's volatile at best, so that's a significant interest to the world.

Trump doesn't want war like the US liberals do. It is ironic that your statement is very fitting to senile DNC puppet joe biden, not Trump. It is the reverse of what you claim. You will not believe that, by electing Trump, the world may have just dodged a thermonuclear russia-ukraine bullet.

Enzyte Bob

Fred wrong again. . . Trump will be in command of the largest military in the world. He's volatile at best, so that's a significant interest to the world.

Swapping diseases whilst drunk with an easy to bed dusky Asian women is nice (if you don't mind your sausage going various shades of green before it withers and falls off), but the Philippines is bang in the middle of the US and its attempts to stifle capitalist China.

The larger the military presence, the larger the bombs that will disrupt your visits to the clap clinic if either side should have a nut that thinks he can win a war heading their government.

Your sausage, now with the appearance of dwarf banana you left out when you went on holiday, will have even less hope of recovery if that president should start a conflict in order to divert attention from the mess he creates in his home country.

That goes more if you contract a wide range of 'social' diseases and/or have an idiot in charge of the largest military in the world in terms of the money wasted on it.

Sausage for brains Fred?

Ah, a lack of imagination. How terribly disappointing.

Lotus Eater

I was looking forward to having sausages with my omelette for breakfast here at my hotel in Da Nang but decided to pass. Thanks guys.😒

I will be in the Philippines from next week until January. For my first breakfast there, I'll skip the sausage and have the eggs instead.

Maybe I'll skip sausages altogether.

Skip the bananas as well.

@Lotus Eater

How are you liking Da Nang with or without sausages?

Lotus Eater

@Lotus Eater How are you liking Da Nang with or without sausages? - @Cherryann01

A big thank you Cherryann for the recommendation. The beach road reminds me of Sea Point in Cape Town where I lived in a previous life. Delicious local cuisine & meticulous intuitive service from the charming Vietnamese people. Moving down to Hoi An shortly.

By the way I mentioned your name to the masseuse you recommended to me who dropped you off at your hotel on the scooter. This time I invited her up to my hotel room for coffee..

His last term saw him trying to destroy the very democracy his fans rant on about protecting. america - @Fred



Yes that's perhaps the major concern. What Trump does to America, and the American people.


World countries will take care of themselves. They will adapt around Trump, and grow stronger.


But, what happens to Americans?  As you say Fred, their beloved democracy may be in danger.


America may well become a Trump oligarchy with a small group of insiders controlling America?


Whatever let's just hope the coming political changes within America are reversible, not one-way.
