Trump

[Mo Gosfield]

LOL. Well, what we've done on BREXIT clearly hasn't worked has it. Don't mistake me for someone who has any time for the grotesque excuse of a man, just saying that BREXIT may have been the one aspect where his approach (rather than him personally) may have been more effective than the apologetic, invertebrates, we've had on the job.

Judge him on the state of the American economy.
Yes, he makes a lot of people squirm but how easily we forget the non-achieving, fake, Obama....the duplicitous Hilary.... and the plain idiotic, war-mongering Bush. What a collection of deadbeats.

Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. It’s not enough just to laugh at him.
by Jonathan Freedland

Maybe we’re too busy laughing to see it. Perhaps it’s the jokes and memes that Donald Trump generates in abundance, the gift that keeps on giving, that blinds us to a chilling fact that we’d rather not face. Put simply, the leader of the world’s most powerful nation is behaving like an authoritarian dictator, one who threatens democracy in his own country and far beyond.

Here’s the latest example of how the comedy can distract. On Thursday Donald Trump marked the Fourth of July by praising the US military, invoking the heroism of an army that defeated the British in the 18th century in part because “it took over the airports”. Lol: behold, the ignoramus president. Cue more chuckles as Trump delivered that speech during a downpour, the Almighty himself apparently deciding to rain on Trump’s parade.

But all those giggles served to obscure the more pressing fact: that in a departure from all precedent, Trump had used Independence Day to stage a military display, in which M1A2 tanks and Bradley armoured vehicles rolled into Washington, while fighter jets and helicopters filled the sky. The generals, mindful of the need to separate military and political power, had long opposed this extravaganza and, tellingly, most of the joint chiefs contrived to stay away. They understood that such a pageant is the stuff of despots, not democrats.

About what you would expect from a metropolitan, elitist, liberal, zionist who swaggers through the literary world with an arrogance that defies belief.

Ironically, BREXIT might have been one of the few things his particular brand of stubborn a-hole attitude may have worked ok. He would have just come out and refused to pay £39bn (or whatever it is) for a divorce bill, or actually done much negotiating. He'd have torn up the "deal" and walked away on a No Deal BREXIT until we got offered something that we thought was a good deal. We'd have been preparing for No Deal from day 1, with the EU being the ones scrambling around seeing what they can offer to avoid it. Arrogance, rather than subservient apologies and desperate attempts to force through teh same unpopular deal over and over again, may have been a better approach.

Or alternatively he could have led us in to a trade war with our nearest and most important trading bloc leading to a Tariff War and many Trumpesque tit for tat arguments and spats which would have got both sides nowhere.

If Sir Kim does leave we will have to install a Trump friendly ambassador to replace him. I mean we need them all the more now what with WTO. (Tee hee ) Imagine though the guff the new man will have to listen to. Oh it’s all quite funny if you can forget our children’s future.

Would anyone actually take the job in Washington while the current incumbent is in place ? only an arslikkin imbecile would do the job..... lets send Theresa May !

I might judge him on his discrimination, vilification, outright lying, contempt of the free press, nepotism etc. rather than just the state of the economy. You carry on have a paddy about Freedland, he obviously has a much bigger impact on the world for you than Donald Trump.

When I was a kid, the assassination of presidents (or at least attempted assassinations) was a regular occurrence. And they were GOOD guys!!

How come this prick is still alive?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bet our Theresa is pleased so she rolled out the red carpet to Donny only to be branded foolish now she's resigned.

All those who say believe in Britain and he thinks he can tell us what to do? Yeah, right! We are not the 51st state of America.

Whatever Trump “achieves” with a short term economic uptick he is causing untold carnage and mayhem to the standing and prestige of the United States . I doubt whether the adversaries and rivals of America have failed to see he is a total fool. They’re playing him like a one string fiddle.

Make America White again, and some on here still think he's a great bloke...

He's shouting to cover over the immigrant stories, and probably this which is very very dark . . . .

Is anyone really surprised at this?

 

[Gritt23]

Quite incredible to wake up to #TrumpIsARacist trending on Twitter this morning.

I'm guessing that tomorrow it'll be #BearsShitInTheWoods

He literally couldn't be more obviously racist than he's been to date unless he walks up to a podium in a KKK outfit.

And many Democrats think some of the people who he was referring to are not good people.

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.

"Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view," Axios reported. "Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view."

He's playing the political game and the Dems make it easy when dimwits like AOC and Omar are allowed to be so prominent in the media.

You can't be that politically naive can you?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yeah, he's probably a racist, but it seems it doesn't matter too much in the USA anymore, so que sera sera.

This is exactly why they think he is a great bloke.

We can all bleat and whine as much as we like about this ignorant buffoon. He’s not going to change. When 40% of the American electorate adore him he’ll carry on regardless. The most telling part about Trump is that he loves the poorly educated - I wonder how of the 40% that is?
