Bazza I recall Trump talking about exactly that during his election campaign.

Good summary gtr. He's quite rightly thrown down the challenge to those who want to be divisive.

"Highlighting decades of “political stalemate” and “politics of revenge”, the President said it was time for Americans to make a choice.

“We must choose between greatness or gridlock, results or resistance — vision or vengeance. Incredible progress or pointless destruction,” he said.

“Tonight, I ask you to choose greatness.”

Baz did you talk to any Americans about the President.??

Poor old Nancy Pelosi looked stunned sitting behind the President and next to Mike Pence. She also couldn't help but applaud many of Trumps achievements as he rolled them off the tongue. Trump loyalists will tear the place apart if they dare try to impeach this president.

DD I think the word you use to describe Nansy these days is SALTY.

I don't see a problem with building a wall and keeping out people who are not interested going about things in the correct way. A whole lot of fan fair - amazing really. But if what he says about the economy is correct he will easily be reelected.

The surprising thing was they talk about him less there than they do here.

I am still waiting for them to prove Russian cullison, especially as he has now pulled out of the nuclear treaty with Moscow. From what i have read, a lot of money does need to be pumped into infra-structure, because, in general the yanks are hostile to 'internal improvements' lest the government favours one state over another. In short, they have been a do nothing country since Eisenhower's time.
