How Some Foreigners See Donald Trump.
 
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
