How The Rest Of The World Sees Donald Trump: 12 Foreign Political Cartoons (http://news.groopspeak.com/how-the-rest-of-the-world-sees-donald-trump-12-foreign-political-cartoons/)

The moon one is very interesting.

Yawn... There are political cartoon of BOTH sides here too. Be honest and post some about Hillary too. Or some old ones with just about any candidate...Obama...Bush...

We tried our "equality experiment", it didn't work and people are tired of it. I think they think that Trump will save the country by turning back the hands of time and dropping a lot of the nonsense we've been doing.

The title, How the rest of the world sees Trump, is a dead give away to the lack of credibility other than amusement....slective at that.

And the author would be so bold as to claim the drawings represent "the rest of the world".....why? How?

BS!

You really think many people outside of some rabid Trumpettes have a good opinion of this boob?

Well...no hiding your opinion.

The guy "says" he wants to take america back, make it great again. What's not to love?

Unless you're lazy or stupid.

Welfare needs to end.

ONLY the best get the job.

What to do with the rest who are poor and jobless? Offer a one way ticket to their country of choice. We can't carry the dead weight of 100 million people, 1/3 the population gets help from the government.

"From CNSNews.com:

But the 109,631,000 living in households taking federal welfare benefits as of the end of 2012, according to the Census Bureau, equaled 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time.

When those receiving benefits from non-means-tested federal programs — such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and veterans benefits — were added to those taking welfare benefits, it turned out that 153,323,000 people were getting federal benefits of some type at the end of 2012."

Half the country gets money from the government. It isn't sustainable.

And who pays for deporting 100 million people and keeping them out as well as beefing up the security all over the US from the widespread hatred this would create???

It's one month welfare...$1000 for a one way ticket is a bargain. Congress was too cheap to do it when they had the chance with the slaves. Too expensive they said...

Why would a country be against getting one of their own back? Because it's the dregs? The same as they sent us? What comes around, goes around. Right back atcha!

Better to be hated and happy then unhappy and...well...hated anyway.

Something has to be done or we slowly slide into 3rd worldom.

[Guest]

The left makes excuses for and defends Obie's image to the rest of the world, as weak as his image is. I doubt very much if the bar has been set very high for Trump WHEN he takes office.

I would rather the rest of the world hate and respect America's strength than to scorn our weakness. Yes, Obie got his Nobel for peace. But, in reality they knew they were really giving him a weakness award.

If Iran wants nukes, then we should oblige them and send one their way. That's the only way you will get respect from radicals, through strength. They do not respect weakness.

The answer is simple! Do means testing for Social Security, Medicare, and Veterans Benefits. That would cut down the expenditures considerably.

Take it out of the welfare fund. Hatred? Who gives a rat's @ss about what someone thinks? And where are you getting 100 million that you want to deport? After you, who are the other 99,999,999 that would be deported?

A slow gradual elimination. Sure, less than $20,000 a year of income, you get it all, then what 1% for every thousand above that? The average check is $1,295, or $15,540 a year. 1% off would be just $155. would save a few billion a year. 10% off if you make $30,000. 20% off at $40,000...etc. At $120,000 a year in other income, you get nothing from SS. All but the REALLY wealthy would feel they're getting something at least. When you're making $70,000 a year retired, almost $6,000 a month, are you going to miss $1000 a month? Not too badly.

Get rid of the fraud and you'll save a lot. Have a 1-800 fraud number that will take complaints seriously. So we don't see the well coifed and manicured lady buying t-bones, coke, and ben and jerrys, whipping out foodstamps, then hopping into her escalade to drive off to her condo.

Where do you food shop? I'd like to see that too.

[Guest]

Actually I thought the cartoons were funny, creative and spoke to concerns expressed by Americans all. And for those Americans who do not find them entertaining well at least your not invoking jihad.

Personal Best Regards:

[Guest]

Actually it IS NOT fraud to buy T-bones, Ben & Jerry or Coke with "food stamps". You cannot buy beer, wine, or cigarettes with them.

Also, it is extremely hard to see if the person is using subsidies to pay for groceries. They do not have a booklet of stamps to tear off and give to the cashiers. The SNAP card looks just like your bank card and it slides into the reader just like your bank card.

So, it would be almost impossible to know which customers are using "food stamps" and who is using a bank card.

It SHOULD be! That is part of the problem. SNAP cards, run by the JP Morgan bank, should be able to buy ONLY staple foods. REAL food. Not the crap that Kraft, Tyson, and all the other food manufacturers make.

My example was before the electronic cards. It really happened. The lady (black) was all decked out, really fancy, like she was stopping on the way to a party. I was shocked when she pulled out that book to pay. She's either cheating the system or buying the stamps for 50 cents on the dollar.

I know of a young man that sold his EBT card for money to purchase drugs.

It does happen and that is illegal. If the cashiers were required to check IDs against the name on the card, it would backfire on the unauthorized buyer. It may be required, I don't know.

It would be against their civil rights to ask them for ID. After all, it is a civil rights violation to ask for Voter ID, according to liberals. You might "disenfranchise" them. :D

I hope that the World is as afraid of Donald Trump as they were of Reagan . How long did it take the macho Iranians to release the US Hostages under Reagan`s watch ?
It took them no longer than it took Reagan to take the Oath of Office .
So much for their chants of " Death To America " . That cry worked for them when a limp-wristed Carter was in charge . Oh Reagan is now in office == hey American`s we were only kidding ! You were free to leave months ago !!

If Reagan had been a " D" you and your friends would be giving him total and complete credit . Sorry but I don`t buy your " story " especially since most likely your source was " Snopes " .

If O signs the defense funding bill, women will have to register for the draft too... Did you know that? They snuck it in.

[Guest]

Hey she did try to serve . Remember the life event that she recently revealed and shared with us -----that she tried to join the Marines but they told her that she was too old and she was really disappointed .

It was just a few weeks ago that she happened to mention it while on the campaign trail .

I believed her and I thought that it was most nobel that she tried to enlist .
Also to show her humanity she shared that she is a NY Yankees fan and was so during her childhood in a suburb of Chicago .
She must have suffered a great deal of childhood taunting and bullying from her grade school class-mates when she wore her Yankees hat to school .
Of course when the Yankees and the Mets squared off in the World Series she shared that she was a long time fan of " Both " teams . Why she even had a cap made that was half of a Met cap and half of a Yankees cap ! Nothing political there .

[Guest]

Yes, but she won't have to worry about it. She would have been qualified to be drafted in the civil war. Although, she did say she has been shot at by snipers. Probably someone that Bill hired.
