Trump is an absolute twat.

His speech yesterday about autism (which I know a lot about) took it to a new level of stupidity for me. I always knew he was a wild card but didn’t realise how deeply stupid he was until yesterday. He spouted utter, utter nonsense and I find that really scary

I generally use the extreme far right,
Me too, generally, when discussing protesters and riots, these days people who would never dream of acting like a thug are leaning to the right or just there, so I don't like to generalise people who have issues with immigration as extreme far right. Its a big spectrum.

I generally use the extreme far right as an example of what we're witnessing now.
In the UK it was the National Front BNP,C18, blood and honour etc.
Their method of putting out the message was newspaper sales, stickers, leaflets so it was limited.
Now with SM Britain first,TR are able to reach a wider audience and the Likes of Reform have warmed people to their ideas which then opens the door for the extreme ideologies.
The names change but the message is always the same.

Yay! Our own little mini Trump, makes us all feel kinda warm and gooey eh

Gawd bless nigella garage and all that sail in him/it

I agree with you.
He is a lunatic.
He knows his audience, he is playing to the right, europe is unstable with him in power. Though many far right if you like, are hopeful for a leader like Trump.

Someone will bump him off, either someone with a screw loose, the CIA, or the Russians
Or, he will end his days as a frightened gibbering twat in prison.
Im normally a kind and rational person. But I truly wish every horror possible for the orange clown.

Not entirely. But not so unhappy I don't thank my stars every day that I'm a citizen here rather than in the land of the free to support Trump or be silenced. Where lunatics can arm themselves to make murder easier, and the government thinks an appropriate response to that is to create an imaginary monster, call it 'The Left' and lie to its people that's where the problem lies.

Hopefully that doesn't happen, four years is a long time in politics.🤞

And soon we have our own pound shop Trump as prime minister. Hurray for fascism.

it’s unbelievable how bad turnp, and maga has become

Yes he is an utter prick

A problem shared is a problem halved?
Trump creates more problems than he solves.
He doesn't give a flying fuck about the UK.
He wasn't mouthing off when he was king Charles guest.
I'm getting bored of saying it . America is awash with problems he should concentrate on that.
He literally just talks piss and what's the point of drawing attention to an issue and doing nothing about it .
Here's a thought to stir up more hatred and division.
Thank fuck I live in Scotland with all its issues it's damn sight safer than America.

And I Think You'll Find It's a Bit More Complicated Than That, EmeraldShamrock000.
I've no doubt about that.
I was just making the point that some people are happy with his statement.
A problem shared is a problem halved, which doesn't solve anything but acknowledging there is issues fuels popularity and the rise of right side political parties.

He somehow managed to win all seven swing states by just enough to avoid a recount? Significant discrepancies between the presidential vote and down-ballot results? Pro V&V's "de minimis" machine update? Something fishy was going on. Trump and Musk haven't exactly kept quiet about it either, they've dropped a lot of hints.

Trump's seems to be "put them all in prison, including people on valid visas and people who are US citizens, and then send them to a random other country to get rid of them."

(Which coming from a man who runs a country in which a vast majority (including him) are descended from immigrants, often as recent as grandfathers or mothers (like him) is amazingly hypocritical and horrible.)

And I Think You'll Find It's a Bit More Complicated Than That, EmeraldShamrock000.

They are paid the big bucks to sort it out, not me nor the orange man.
Instead they're spending millions every year while they think about taking any action.
Anyway I'm not getting into a debate about immigration. My point is many believe in this case he is correct.

And what have the Republicans done then? Fuck all.

Exactly- if he was the president of Chile or Vietnam etc I would just think ‘what a nut job’ and that would be it -as President of the USA he wields a lot of power, influence, affects trade, finances, security world wide - and sadly can’t be put on mute!

Give him time to get his Ministry of War off the ground.

@Wonderpool

That’s interesting to hear that parts of the U.K. operate under sharia law.

Which parts exactly? Can you say where and which parts of sharia law? Also, who enforces it? Is it the local police force? Do cases go to court? Who are the judges? Which laws do they draw on when sentencing? Are there juries? And other real life questions…

Or, perhaps you are getting all riled up about a post you saw somewhere, sometime by someone (you’re not sure who) which made sense to you after a couple of wines. But not an actual, legal fact.

Which is it? You obviously feel very strongly about this real thing happening in our country. I’d love to engage with you about it. It’s incredibly important. I’d like to know the real facts behind this huge change in our constitution.

Or perhaps it was just something you read online. Or your friend told you about it. Surely not, because you only believe facts about real things that happened. Right?

Sadly @Burnttyou would be VERY concerned. JD Vance is champing at the bit for his turn, and believe it or not, he has even less scruples than Trump. Trump is an utter horror, narcissist egotistical, vain, ill-educated moron, but he’s been consistently so all his life. Vance is a clever shape-shifter.

Follow the money. The NRA and gun manufacturers fund republicans because republicans are pro-guns. The democrats have consistently and repeatedly tried to strengthen gun controls, but are repeatedly stymied in the Senate. Do you genuinely not know that?

To be fair I quite liked the way she just marched up the stairs without even turning round to see if he was alright!
