He's very happy to identify the France attacker (who didn't kill anyone incidentally) as a radical islamist yet I've not seen anything stating the decription of the Quebec attacker (who killed 6) who was a white supremicist.

The press spokesman used the tragedy to validate the travel ban on 7 Muslim countries the next morning.

I don't follow what you mean. The main issue I have with Trump, to be specific, is this travel ban, the woeful implementation of this ban, and his threats and sabre-rattling with Mexico and the recent threat to send in troops to Mexico. I not aware of any of this under Obama. And yeah this is specific and maybe I'm not consistent but this directly affects a friend of mine and his partner so I have a keen interest.

All we need to do is detain him at Heathrow for a couple of hours, then deny him entry and send him back.

Most Britons back Donald Trump’s planned state visit to Britain, a poll has found.
The survey, conducted by YouGov for The Times, found 49 per cent of the British public supported Mr Trump’s UK visit with 36 per cent opposed.
Poor little snowflakes!

Don't forget China. Within 10 years apparently. Oh, and someone in the middle east. Don't know who yet though.
"The United States and China will fight a war within the next 10 years over islands in the South China Sea, and “there’s no doubt about that”. At the same time, the US will be in another “major” war in the Middle East."

Lazy headline that, with no facts. Some people have signed petitions, some haven't. Some people answered a pollster's (and they're always right, as we know) questions. Most people haven't expressed an opinion anywhere.

You're right! They should be on their backs while he tickles their tummys.

Carrying on what Bush, Blair and Obama started then. This has only come about because of the ill fated attack on Iraq WMD and Libya
I think you're being serious.

Yeah Merkel needs to be reigned in. About time
Again you talk as if Trump is starting from a blank canvas in a world full of peace and loveliness and Trump has come along and ruined it all, then you mention ANOTHER likely war in the Middle East as if the USA and the EU are somehow now devoid of any responsibility to what went on before and continues to happen today, you have almost given Obama, Blair, Bush etc etc their very own 'get out of jail' card because you have found a new pantomine villain.
His tweeting isnt sambre rattling, its the USA's military power which is ferocious that really counts, unless you are pacifist, sambre rattling has been there in all its glory for generations under each and every president and supported by most of Europe.
To lend some perspective to it, Obama pledged for the USA to continue to spend more on military than the next 8 biggest military budgeting nations combined, thats some thought.

What,you're allowed to carry a gun now?

Oh dear,you do like to be impolite,don't you?What you stand for,let's have a try,shall we;
You are very obviously not a fan of the Sun or Rupert Murdoch.
You are very obviously not a fan of democracy,unless the results fall in your favour,so a very bad loser.
You certainly don't seem to like being British,or indeed,many British people.
You do an absolutely marvellous line in faux outrage.
You regard with disdain a large proportion of the population of our greatest ally.
You regard anybody who disagrees with you as at best a div.
Hows that for starters?
No facts? Do you mean there wasn't a YouGov poll, as stated in the article? Or isn't it a fact that the poll reported 49 to 36 in favour of Trump's visit? Or maybe the poll wasn't conducted for The Times?

Brilliant. From name-calling to playground nonsense. Try debating rather than behaving like Trump.

I don't think I expressed my point well. I just don't think anyone can say definitively what the mood of the nation is. Both sides try to, but you can't. One poll says this, another says that. However many have signed one petition, and loads have signed another. And loads more haven't expressed an opinion on social media.
