Trump has trashed the right from within. So then I take it that you are a Trump supporter, Woody? Star Greens candidate prefers Abbott to Shorten because it would trigger street protests and civil disruption http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2016/star-greens-candida...Trump, rather than Clinton, will trigger global protests and civil disruption. Trump's the trigger for a radical global shift against capitalism and anti-environmentalism. Not a Trump supporter, yet thought Trump would get in, and am prepared. You've just explain yourself why the Greens have always and will always be only a party of protest. Explain how you deduce that. Because you Greenies seem to thrive on conflict and protests. That doesn't explain your claim. Conflict requires at least two parties. How come it's acceptable for the right to inflict their conflict and it's not acceptable for the Greens to stand up to the right. You sir, have double standards. What conflict has the right started? I want specifics. Obviously, your method is to try and induce a reaction in others, without an intention of debating. So this post and I will not look at this thread again.
From midday on January 20 — the day Mr Trump is inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States — he will also become the commander-in-chief of the entire US army, navy and air force, giving him sole authority to order a nuclear or conventional missile attack.
Normally such a role would barely rate a mention after a US election. But during the campaign, Mr Trump repeatedly raised the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
In May, Mr Trump said if the Islamic State (IS) group was to attack the US, he might return fire with a nuke — and that Japan and South Korea should be able to do the same to North Korea.
In response, the White House described his policy as "catastrophic".
Then, in August, it was revealed he had asked a foreign policy expert three times during a briefing:
"Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" "Three times he asked," said MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who said he had spoken to the expert.
"At one point: 'If we have them, why can't we use them?'" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-11/donald-trump-access-to-nuclear-weapons-sho...
