The French are a proud people and believe in a unique identity . Would that the rest of the Western world had such pride.

Pride and arrogance are two separate things... easily confused by some... but easily differentiated by others.

I have no problem with that thought, Tom, I am an Australian and that makes me exceptional on any count.

And you should think that . We here in the states appreciate the steady stream of thespians you export to us.

Yes we regret that your laws don't allow us to give you some top line politicians instead you have to settle for second rate actors and real estate developers

Trump is only a politician in his dreams. You know that thing I said on the other op about eminent domain theft of someone's land for the publlic good ? He's who I was referring to.

What a President who understands free enterprose, you should be so lucky

He doesn't though . He is very much a creation of cronyism;a classical merchantilist

Free enterprise?? He'd use the power of the Presidency to slap sanctions on China . As I said;he uses the power of government to confiscate real estate ;not for public use as the Constitution allows ;but to build casinos and luxury condominium projects (many of which have been utter failures).

I was speaking about a Trump future, the future of unfettered free enterprise where the right of everyman to have access to a casino of their choice is protected

There never has nor ever will be "unfettered " free enterprise.

Trump is not a proponent of such a system eitherway. He depends on the intervention of the governing authority. A women's home blocks the expansion of a casino parking garage ? No problem .
Trump Abuses Eminent Domain

And his political positions shift with the wind.
