Every day waking up to yet another insane declaration from Trump. America is losing the respect of the world

I wonder if the Arab Americans in Dearborn Michigan are patting themselves on the back for voting for Trump because Kamala was too close to “Genocide Joe”.

@100A in your opinion - not everyone’s and certainly not the overwhelming majority that voted for him.

I must have missed that announcement … are the Palestinians getting rid of the Israelis???

But it's not just America, Reform are riding high in the polls.

I'm genuinely terrified.

I thought similar!

How the plans were to be implemented was never detailed....

I’m waiting for him to suggest that the population of England should be relocated to the Australian outback so that he can turn It into a giant golf course.

I agree. Last night I was listening to a podcast where they were analysing his announcements and trying to decide what his plan is. He hasn’t got a plan, he’s just spouting incoherent crap and lapping up all the attention. It’s not like US voters were not warned, did none of them ever watch one of his ‘speeches’ last time or during the election campaign? How are so many people so fucking gullible?

No indeed not, but I suspect most didn't read it , alot couldnt read it, or understand it,
trump denied he knew anything about it ( in other words he lied 😧who knew he could do such a thing!!!!) and most magas didn't care so long as it wasn't a democrat, a woman, but especially not, a black one!🙄

There is apparently the question of some 3 million votes for KH that were marked as non viable ...but then that would mean that trumps team cheated 🥸 so that would be a no then. 🤫

Didn't stop 77,284,118 voters, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast, electing him.

The amount of media time given to his incoherent ramblings is insane. How did America come to this?

I welcome it at this point. Nice bit of oblivion sounds lovely

But the home owners who lost their homes in LA still own their land. Anything they rebuild is theirs. Anything Trump builds in Gaza will belong to Trump.

Have a read of Project 2025...that should shed any doubts that he is an advocate for women.

Well there is an asteroid that has a 1 in 67 chance of hitting the earth in 2031, so maybe that will take our minds off this.

I am really tired of hearing that Trump is a woman’s advocate.

Exhibit A: What he said about Princess Diana, https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-sex-princess-diana-hiv-test-howard-stern-interview/

Exhibit B: Donald Trump has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least 25 women since the 1970s. In June 2019, writer E. Jean Carroll alleged in New York magazine that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1995 or 1996. From Wikipedia

On his wife, from the NY Times 2015 article. Yes, full of respect for women

Lying prone on a rug adorned with the Great Seal of the United States, the woman who might someday be first lady is wearing high-heeled sandals and a crimson bikini.
The date is February 2000. Donald J. Trump hasn’t yet thrown his hat into the ring as a Reform Party candidate, yet he’s already set in motion a machine that 15 years on will turn a voluble political maverick into the front-runner for the Republican Party presidential nomination.
The woman on the rug is Melania Knauss, a Slovene model, who at 29 is almost a quarter-century younger than her billionaire future husband. The rug is a prop in an Oval Office set mocked up in a Manhattan photo studio. Spread across two pages of the now defunct Talk magazine, Mr. Trump is seen in an inset close up; telescope back from the picture and what you’d see is Mr. Trump seated behind the presidential desk and at his feet his future wife, a woman striking in her beauty and docility.
If it is always the case in politics that you “play a role,” as Ms. Knauss observed in a caption accompanying those photos, you do this because politics is, above all else, “a business.”

This will blow your mind: He has just said he's going to stop men taking part in women's sports.

That whole 'most powerful man on the planet' thing is just a line in newspapers to make you panic.

And the same way that life still goes on no matter the politics, that's true for the vast (and it is vast) majority of Americans.

I STILL can't believe how much MN worries about the Americans. I guess, like Razorlight, they can't sleep.

If Brits put half or even a quarter as much effort into their own country as they do worrying about the US, things in the UK could be very different.

After the crazy Brits voted for Brexit, it was a nightmare. Every morning I woke up to a new announcement of doom. Maybe the Brits on this site remember those intense days.

I guarantee that, compared to the average Brit, the average American has no idea what is happening in the UK and doesn't care! If I go to a meeting, there's guaranteed to be a pot-shot at the Americans but I'm sure that if I moved to the US, there'd be no mention of UK politics.

So, stop wasting your time thinking about the US. Take steps to improve your life. As Arthur Ashe said, 'Start where you are and use what you have.' [oh, whoops, he's an American ...]

It's like a parallel universe - how did America come to this? So now he plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza we are told - to create the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' A golf course and hotels probably. The £2 million people can just go wherever. Wtf! AIBU to think America is imploding in on itself?
