The theory in American politics at the moment appears to be ‘if you say it enough it’ll become true’. For weeks now the Democrats have been desperate to suggest President Trump is some sort of Russian spy, who beat Hillary Clinton because of foreign interference. Democrats seem incapable of accepting Clinton was a tainted candidate with real questions over her fitness to govern. And in any case America was crying out for change, racial tensions and falls in living standards w
A POLITICAL commentator has hit out at “disparaging” language used to describe Brexit and Donald Trump’s appeal to voters. Andre Walker, a right-wing columnist, said the US President’s popularity was not due to “populism“ but because the Republican billionaire set out a manifesto and is sticking to it. Mr Walker added Brexit could be put in the same bracket but the “modern world” appeared to consider the movements “extreme and outlandish”. Speaking on Sky News, the New York O
Last night I appeared on Scotland Tonight (the biggest political TV show in the country) and told viewers that Trump was “the greatest living Scotsman”. It’s fair to say the comment sent Twitter into meltdown, but at this crucial time for UK there are reasons for the British to look forward to the inauguration. Firstly, let me explain something about the President-Elect's heritage. There are plenty of Americans who refer to themselves using phrases like ‘Irish-American’, they
Nigel Evans to Observer: Trump might not be universally popular, but 'I think this card is superb' A senior British politician has attempted to ‘Make Christmas Great Again’ by sending the entire UK political establishment a Trump-themed card. The custom-made Christmas card has caused a storm in London after it was sent it to every senior political figure in the country. Former deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, Nigel Evans MP, was behind the stunt and must now take the c
Here is my appearance on Sky News to talk about the proposal to make Nigel Farage the UK Ambassador to the USA (apologies for the dire preview pic). #tradedeal #farage #ambassador #trump
Ever since Nigel Farage, the father of Brexit, turned up at Trump Tower on Saturday, London has been in a spin. The establishment, including Theresa May’s Conservative government, is split between those who see the relationship with Trump as an asset to the UK, and those who just see Farage as a toxic, self-serving populist. At Wednesday’s Prime Minister’s Question Time there was a question about Farage being put into the House of Lords, but May dodged it. It is well known th
Mischaël Modrikamen, President of the Belgium People’s Party, writes "letter" to American people encouraging them to vote Trump and reject Hillary Clinton. He claims the the battle is more than just an election but rather "it has become the people's sacred fight to reclaim it's sovereignty". In the video Modrikamen compares Hillary Clinton to European leaders, he claims are to blame for the decline of Europe. #trump #belgianpeoplesparty #MischaëlModrikamen #donaldtrump #presi
Outgoing UKIP leader Nigel Farage has urged Republicans to "get your walking boots on" and drum up support for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He appeared before 15,000 activists in Jackson, Mississippi, being introduced by and sharing the stage with Mr Trump. And he said the party could "beat the pollsters" in the presidential race. #trump #farage #ukip #brexit #gop
American elections are always a slightly awkward time for foreign leaders. On the one hand, they do not want to meddle in US affairs, but on the other whoever gets the keys to the White House also becomes the leader of the free world. At about this time 25-years-ago a whole raft of countries were becoming independent again as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. That collapse had been pushed hard through US foreign policy, right from the belligerence of Kennedy durin
Andre Walker returns with some great snark against Democrats sniping at Donald Trump's fundraising numbers, reminds Charlie Sheen that being given "fake" diamonds is a lot better than what he is giving out, celebrates International Yoga Day with his own set of rules, and gives his take on the states of the media's ignorance in debating gun control. #monologue #fbi #Trump #charliesheen #hillary #nra #secondamendment
Scots living around Donald Trump’s golf resort are flying the Mexican flag in opposition to the billionaire’s policies. The residents say they want to “show solidarity” with Mexico in advance of Trump's visit to Scotland later this week. Trump International Golf Links was opened in 2012 in the face of local opposition, which has left some bitterness towards the presidential hopeful. One of those flying the flag was Michael Forbes who refused to sell his land to the tycoon and
Andre Walker returns with a new weekly monologue spanning the globe from Great Britain's exit from the EU picking up steam since Obama to Bernie Sanders running out of other people's money - to even a few um.... colorful jokes. You gotta listen to believe it, folks! The script is below (check against delivery): Hello and Welcome my name’s Andre Walker and your weekly monologue starts right now. This was the week polls in Britain said Brits were more likely to leave the Europe
Following news that Donald Trump's own children have forgotten to register to vote in the New York Primary we ask if the GOP front runner should be punished for having idiot offspring. Or is it time for Republicans to pull together so there is no repeat of the Obama win. Here's the script (check against delivery): Hello my name’s Andre Walker and your weekly monologue starts right now… This was the week that Donald Trump lost two votes in the New York Primary when his own chi
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump faces a tough challenge in Utah's caucuses on Tuesday, but the Republican front-runner could still gain some delegates if sharp party divisions prevent anyone from winning a majority in the conservative state that prizes civility and religiosity.
For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton was likely to extend her overwhelming delegate lead over rival Bernie Sanders in contests in Arizona, Utah and Idaho, moving closer to becoming the first woman presid
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump exchanged jabs as they separately courted a massive crowd of pro-Israel lobbyists, putting their differing views on supporting the Jewish state front and center in their White House battle. Democrat Clinton positioned herself as an unwavering friend to Israel, while bashing her rival as prejudiced and insufficiently supportive of one of America's closest allies. It was a sign of likely points of attack should she face the Republican frontrunne
