That that Trump clown gets elected President?

Just a humble suggestion from a foreigner - don't shoot.
If we all stick to politeness, maybe the occasional thread veering close to politics won't blow up so quickly. There are occasionally things in the geopolitical realm that impinge on investing and Berkshire. That's why I call him Mr Trump, not some of the other things I see on various boards. And I'm happy when some of the things he's championed make good economic or governance sense. OK, perhaps I would not say it's a majority of the initiatives, but nothing is entirely black and white. Or orange : )

Anyone with familiarity of the history of UK parliamentary debates (and Canadian too) knows that it's possible to make one's disagreement quite clear, while remaining polite and civil. Alas, even politeness can go "ad hominem" with sufficient skill. My personal favourite is "Clearly the gentleman opposite disagrees with me; I hear him shaking his head."
