He dosen't know if he has to uphold the constitution.
He wants to reopen Alcatratz for illegal migrants.
He wants to put 100% tarrifs on any films made outside America.
How long will peole put up with this nonsense?

I see we've got a trade deal, better than what we had last week, but I still don't trust Trump to stick to it. I think the bigest sticking point will be the chemical additives and GM feeds they give to their animals, I really don't think British people want them. I can't see British farmers being happy either, but then again are they ever happy?
I agree with you about the chemical additives and GM feeds. The British labelling system on packaged foods doesn’t show full tracking history of US products and US animal welfare is appalling. The chickens are treated with chlorine to make them fit for human consumption, because birds have been kept in ghastly conditions and can be in poor health when killed. I always check the sources of food I buy, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult and labelling of products with country of origin doesn’t necessarily mean much.
I share your concerns about the quality of the meat, particularly hormone fed beef and chlorinated chicken.
I think farmers are fairly clear about what they want. The reality that the government fails to grasp is that without farmers there is no food, it's that simple. If farmers go out of business or are forced to sell their farms then shelves will be empty. It baffles me how few people seem to understand that.
Abolishing the inheritance tax on family farms is the first thing they want. This is another issue that gets misunderstood. If a farm is valued at £2 million it doesn;t mean that farmer is a millionaire, the average yearly earnings for a farmer are £24,000. The valuation of the farm is meaningless unless they sell it. Most farmers prefer to pass their farms down to their children rather than sell, thus ensuring continued food supply and production. However, if they do that they will now be hit with a huge bill that will probably put the farm out of business even though they have earned nothing by passing it down.
As far as what else they want, the farming industry is massively overregulated so less regulation would make their lives simpler.
Farming subsidies have been reduced in recent years which means many farms are on the verge of closing.
There are lots of other things but obviously I'm not a farmer so those are the main ones I can think of
At least I don't have a problem with the ethics of US meat as I'm veggie, the US says its coming round to a more European way of thinking about food additives, but they still have GM and I wouldn't willingly or knowingly eat GM foods.
I was right about British farmers not being happy, but I wonder what it would take for them to be happy? I wonder when farmers complain that nobody understands them or cares about them, takes thier concerns seriously, what it is they do want, because they never seem to give us any ideas.
