'Depressing!' Andre Walker slams democrat and says voters have been MASSIVELY ignored
A POLITICAL commentator has hit out at “disparaging” language used to describe Brexit and Donald Trump’s appeal to voters.
Walker: Trump has 'cracked on' with controversial promises
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 Observer columnist then put down a democrat who said Mr Trump was selling his “extreme agenda” to middle class working American voters and that it wasn’t “genuine”.
Andre Walker said Trump was doing what he campaigned he would
Whatever you say about Donald Trump, he’s told you he’s going to do certain controversial things and cracked on
Democratic strategist Isaac Wright referred to the property mogul as “one of the least popular Presidents in modern American history to be in this phase of his presidency.”
But Mr Walker hit back and said: “It’s depressing really isn’t it because you get these people on the media time and time again and God bless their cotton socks, the truth of the matter is voters have been massively ignored.
“What is now emerging right across Europe and certainly in the United States of America is something that’s disparagingly referred to as populist.
“Well what it actually is is promising to do something for the voters then damn well doing it. I would have thought that that would have been a pretty basic, pretty simple thing.
“But in our modern world it appears to be in some way extreme and outlandish. Whatever you say about Donald Trump, he’s told you he’s going to do certain controversial things and cracked on and done it.”
Mr Trump has delayed the announcement of a new executive order which plans to replace the ban on migrants from seven Muslim-majority nations.
The new order is expected to be issued “sometime next week” according to an official.
Trump: US and UK relationship has never been stronger
Mr Trump said: “The new order is going to be very much tailored to what I consider to be a very bad decision.
“We had a bad court.”
Meanwhile, thousands of conservatives are meeting for the four-day Conservative Political Action Conference in the US this week.
The President and Nigel Farage will take to the stage at the gathering, which aims to push the movement’s agenda and takes place just outside Washington DC, on Friday.
