Ofcourse you shouldn't but your goverment should be reformed. 2 many rich people in your goverment wich is wrong. A country should be run by the people itself and not by wealthy families like most politicians come from. The difference with Europe is that in Europe anybody can do politics, i even remember a bar owner here who became a politician and he was very succesful but i don't see stuff like that ever having the chance of happening over there in the US because of the influence of rich people.

Belgium eh :P

All the governments are imperfect and messed up, I just wish we didn't feel so helpless to influence on how they run things, you know? Sometimes I wish I could move back to Japan, as I did an internship there for a couple of years, I loved it there.

LOL how many square meters is that house?
We're American, we don't use metric, remember? XD

Yeah! We have enough of our own here now, let alone letting in a shit ton more.
Logic like that is why we are where we are at now!

No.
Blaming others for your own shit is why you are where you are. With a country full of guns and shootings and racist crimes, all of which you will gladly blame the others because it makes you feel better.

Blaming others constantly and playing on the fear of people is a weak trick to convince those who get easily scared but can never look at themselves in the mirror.

It works once every generation, the time for people to realize they've been played.

The general lack of education is a problem.
Global warming is a problem.
Racism is a problem.
Immigration is a problem, but isnt worth the 100% attention its getting, and meanwhile all the other, some would say more important topics, are completely ignored.

Your potus focus on one problem, a very short sighted one, while assuming the others will fix themselves magically.

Again. Its a cheap trap and you fell right in it.

With this thread alone, I could tell that the next 4 years are going to be a very fun ride.
Let's see how Trump makes america great again. Maybe his methods are radical (or maybe just really drastic), but if there are good intentions behind all of this, then why not give the man a chance? We will never know until he keeps his promises. Anyway, how is that wall worse than the current fence? Apart for being scary and huge, I can see the idea behind it.

I am not really fan of the thing either though. Let him build his wall and see what happens next. All president made at least one dumb thing. Let it be his.

And it's already been established by Trump on video saying there will be a 20% border tax for Mexico and that will pay for the wall if mexico won't flat out and pay for it.

Lay of the MSM a little and let your brain heal...
And how much of his word is true. Just because a person says something doesn't mean it'll work out. Mexico could just stop all business with the U.S in retaliation if they really don't want to pay for the wall. It's bad enough that he is starting shit with our neighbor even if our country has a stronger military.
It's just causing trouble that'll eventually cause something worse to happen.

Dude, i didn't want look this :(

HE wants mexico pay the wall!!!!!
But why he make a wall?!?! This is stupid, very stupid.
If we don't pay the wall, no more deals ---- like usa with Mexico :( i mean, no more things of Mexico to USA or viceversa!!! also méxico will no have more consoles or videogames?!!?!?!?
Enrique Peña Nieto (AKA México President) cancelled a meeting with trump to talk about the wall :/

Trump is using Twitter a lot, one of he twitts are:
"of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."

"The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers..."


https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump?lang=es

This is horrible! we will have 4 worst years with that president :( (for mexicans of course...)

I think if we don't pay the wall, he will want war?

EDIT: PS My thread is a hell
1) we had a worse time with bush
2) if we can smuggle drugs like cocaine in enfamil baby formula, we can get a few videya games across the border
3)doubt he will declare war


But i just find it kind of odd that he's somehow gonna force a poor country to pay for a wall.

Because your posts seem quite confrontational and condescending to those living outside the US? That's just my guess anyways XD

In the particular argument he is talking about, he got angry I laughed at a contradiction in his post lol. It wasn't even about the US.

People are so sensitive on the internet!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Stooping low to criticize non-native English speakers' grammar, uncalled for, dude.

Obviously you've missed the other pages. He kept calling everyone out on grammar lol. He's just mad I'm pointing out you shouldn't make mistakes of your own when criticizing grammar online LOL.

I'm not japanese but Japanese were still beating your asses ;) It was actually by the intervention of Russia that world war 2 was won because before Russia you were losing the war against 1 small country. That's the problem with you Americans, you're Always so full of yourself and then you wonder why the whole world hates you

I don't think you actually know very much history...

Germany had surrendered well before we dropped the bombs on Japan. Japan had no intention of doing the same, so they continued to fight well after their cause was beaten.

In all honesty, America (And the rest of the allied forces) could have invaded Japan, but a full scale invasion would've had a tremendous number of casualties, on both sides. The bombs were a quick way to end a war that Japan had no business continuing. There was no scenario, bombs or not, where Japan won. The bombs just ended it a hell of a lot faster (And with potentially less loss of life, if the actual casualty estimates of an invasion are to be believed).

EDIT: And just a note, I don't care about the whole "illegal immigration - wall" discussion going on. I really don't.
