YANBU - he’s an absolute knob. The state the USA is in right now and he’s trying to lecture the rest of the world!

YABU - he’s not a twat.

Ok, so what’s the solution? If you ( or Trump) has it, then there are a lot of governments who want to hear it.

Overlooked? Is it fuck. You don’t think that every western nation has been struggling with this for years? Is WELL aware of the issues?
yiu think no once noticed til Trump had his rant? Jesus wept.

I do know that every western nation has been struggling with this for years.
The governments are not tackling the problem.
It is the beat of the drum the everyday person wants to hear. I don't see western governments taking action, things aren't changing, people are branded far right racists when they object.
I don't agree with much of what Trump has to say, however he knows how to rally a crowd bringing attention to a problem, even if he does FA about it.

Urgh I accidentally clicked YABU! Of course I meant YANBU!

StrongLikeMamma · 23/09/2025 21:25

He’s a biggly twat!
Yep the far right Christian nut jobs are pulling the strings alright.

I was responding to a specific point:

At least we don't have an estimated 393,000,000 guns kicking about and all that entails.. School Shootings on a weekly basis

ETA: Also still waiting for an answer to a question I asked on page one of this thread. But the OP must be busy.

It’s getting to the point where he might just be the biggest threat to the safety of the rest of the world, not Russia or China or anyone else

Really? How?

Edited

Aye ,you cherry picked my comment about guns but ignored the rest..how convenient.
Trump has got fuck all business poking in about UK politics his opinion is not required or wanted.
He'd do well to settle American issues of which there are many.
The pish he spouts has global impact.

I was in Canada a few months back and amazed (and pleased) about the number of shops that would not sell US stuff. No California wine, no bourbon, no Oreos. This has had a big impact on US industry and people in the US are scratching their heads wondering why. Not what they had expected!!!

This is warming to know!

Sorry to be pedantic but are they not one and the same?
Either way, he’s clearly deranged.
I did wonder whether Melania had called ahead to arrange the escalator breakdown …

Biologically yes, but as insults go I reckon cunt is more severe than twat. A twat is a bit mild really, one down from a bastard. It still describes him well, possibly better than cunt because it doesn’t take him as seriously. Perhaps it’s better that way. I reckon he’d rather be a cunt than a twat, so let’s stick with twat.

JHound · 23/09/2025 21:13

i cannot imagine a single Democrat president going around slagging off other country’s, acting like their shit doesn’t stink, coming out with unsubstantiated medical toss, constantly bigging themselves up

This. To the posters that ask “if you don’t live in the USA why so you care about him.”

If he kept his actions and comments to his borders, I wouldn’t.

Are you in the US OP? Or have you visited recently? I wouldn’t believe everything the UK media is telling you.

I’m in the US and although there’s a split, plenty of sane, very educated people here really like him and think he’s doing great things for the country. Unless you’re here, I’m not sure why his existence bothers you so much?

So the OP shouldn’t believe what she saw and heard Trump saying at the UN just now? Was it AI? Or did he actually say that bullshit?

I was laughing at “I had paracetamol in pregnancy, now my child is autistic”.

I found it genuinely funny.

surely, no one for a 2nd believes that? Other than Trump obvs.

AllIsWellBecause · 23/09/2025 21:11

For some things he might be right. I am not very pro-American nor know much about them apart from the very obvious but they have variety of states, laws, people and massive varieties of cultural eco chambers, so I cannot comment on all these, so therefore do not have massive opinion on him

Muffinmam · 23/09/2025 21:05

Disagree if you wish - but it would be appreciated if you would actually write something engaging rather than dismissive.

I assumed this post was in respect to Trumps latest statement regarding paracetamol in pregnancy causing autism and also referencing a drug treatment.

I’ve basically said you can’t trust the government. If you disagree then I would be interstate in why you disagree.

The guns and the school shootings aren't a trump thing, that's been the case for donkeys years. Yes in other respects he's a knob. I would say though hes definitely not the worst president, Bush Jr took the US into Iraq war under false pretence and messed up the middle East. Trump as far as I'm aware has not started any wars so it's a bit insane to say he's the worst president and I'm not a fan.

He's been busy bombing Venezuelans so anything is possible. He's also been threatening to invade both Canada and Greenland.

Thank you for helping me make my point, which was, that many Americans do not love Trump.

Cornishclio · 23/09/2025 21:02

Yes he is a twat but unpredictable with a lot of power which is why he even gets airtime. The US have voted in a madman and unfortunately the rest of the world are humouring him because the consequences of ridiculing him as we should could be catastrophic. We live in crazy times.

Tigger1895 · 23/09/2025 21:01

I think he’s an absolute idiot and an embarrassment to the country, however, I believe his administration is the dangerous ones.
