To cancel plans to visit USA.

You'd need to live here and have to deal with the tons of drugs brought into this country weekly and the millions of people that have crossed the border illegally to understand the desire to own a gun.
Guns are sent over the border every single day. Every gang member owns at least one, and ditto for criminals. Cartels and gangs own armories of weapons.
Hopefully, you are not so naive to think any of those people would ever give up their guns? If law-abiding citizens gave up their guns, no one would ever be safe again from cartels, gangs and criminals.

It would be nice to get rid of all the criminals, gangs and cartels, but SA, CA and Mexico just keep letting them come north, and our home-grown ones just keep multiplying to boot.

It would have saved a lot of heartache 😂

Sorry but it was that way before he was re-elected and you booked the holiday then. The US has been a divided place for many years. Depends where you are going and what you are doing…..

Blimey, that’s a very expensive and long-winded prison avoidance plan @Oxforddictionary12 . Couldn’t he have just bought a wig and false nose and moved to Marbella?

You've summed it up well. I'm pretty sure Trump ran for president as a move to avoid going to prison.

Just felt the need to make absolutely clear that I didn't vote in favour of Brexit. That outcome doesn't speak for me. I am delighted that we still have the right to free speech though. To judge a whole country by votes is simplistic but I struggle to understand how electing a convicted felonist for a president was a good idea. 🤦‍♀️ And people who believe it is a clever idea to let anyone own a gun.

I know we had BJ as PM (unfortunately) and once he was in there was precious little we could do about it, including, for the most of us, move country. But boycotting visits to the US is something we can control.

Many years ago when living in New York I was crossing the road by Trump Tower and we passed each other. You never know, although now he would be surrounded by far more security guys than he was then!

Do you feel the same about Italy ? Seeing Meloni’s extreme far right government ?

I’m no fan on Boris Johnson but you can’t compare him to Donald Trump. He wasn’t a convicted criminal. He didn’t boast about assaulting women. He didn’t try to ban abortion. He wasn’t a climate change denier. He wasn’t trying to deregulate guns. He didn’t threaten to withdraw support for Ukraine. He didn’t ban trans people from the military. He hasn’t denied the outcomes of elections and attempted a self-coup, encouraging his supporters to storm public buildings. They’re both self-serving populists but they are no where near the same and the level of threat they pose is incomparable. Boris Johnson could be better compared to George Bush.

He has fewer checks and balances this time around.

He has control of the possibly all three arms of legislative government - that is, Congress, the Senate, and the Judiciary. At the moment, the only one of those still undecided is Congress, but is looking on going to Republicans.

Additionally, having learned from staff problems from his first term, Trump will only surround himself with loyalists. Having people that are brave enough to disagree with you or say ‘no’ is valuable in leadership positions, but Trump, it seems, cannot handle this. Those people in the first term might have stopped some terrible things occurring, but loyalists may lack the courage or appetite to stop Trump’s worst urges this time around.

Have you ever stopped to think that this isn't his first rodeo? What unspeakable things happened to visitors the first time he was President? Do tell.

I'm far from being a Trump fan but the ridiculous comments on this thread are almost laughable. Especially given that many of them come from people inhabiting a nation which had Boris Johnson as PM.

@AnnoyedAsAllHeck

I’m dead 😂

Oh! Please don't! That is much worse than saying HIS name!

V-O-L-D-E-M-R-T..........

aaaakkkkkkkkkk!! They got me!

68 million of us voted for Kamala

I'm not sure if it was legal for you to give all of that information away!
I would be watching my back if I were you!

Oh no that’s all public now. I haven’t said anything about Project 2026 🤫

🤣

I'm not sure if it was legal for you to give all of that information away!

I would be watching my back if I were you! I heard that my neighbor's cousin's brother's best friend's aunt's hairdresser told of some secret plans and was forced unto EPCOT's "An American Adventure" and not allowed off for 24 hours. Scary thought!

That was my point. No place, no person, is all bad nor all good. But, if one decides to make judgements of others, they should be prepared to be judged with the same rod themselves.

Please do. We don’t need or want you here.

Because the progressive city government has stopped prosecuting people who break the laws.

It's not even that he won. Even if he had lost by the same margin, that would still mean that pretty much every other person you meet is someone who could countenance the idea of Trump as their head of state. That's enough to put me off going.

Of course it is, haven’t you read project 2025?

The first camp is going on the Disney grounds in Florida. You’ll be met by Mickey as you get off the bus, escorted by princesses in their handmaiden cloaks and bonnets, all the rides will be converted into “it’s a small world” interjected with subliminal messages. Only after your 1000th pro Trump post written on X will you be deemed safe to rejoin society.

This.

I used to live there for a bit too but don't want to contribute a penny to anyone that holds trump in esteem.

Please don’t do this, Donald Trump will be absolutely gutted :(

@HelenaWaiting Some states have already taken action to enshrine reproductive rights in state law. It was on my state’s ballot yesterday and was approved, I’m glad to say.
