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.

San Fran shocked me with its homelessness issue.

Show quote history

San Francisco unfortunately has been like that for 10+ years, but the other cities, it just wasn’t as bad. As a European there’s something really unsettling and upsetting about seeing people
in such need of help, medical and the rest, and distress in the richest country in the world just being left in the streets. And yes, it’s frightening too because seeing people off their faces and unpredictable is frightening .

I used to think that something would come out about Trump that would wake up the americans. Now I think there could be pictures of his have his way with a goat and his supporters would say "That's what I like about him. He keeps it real!"

Show quote history

I so agree - same is true here with Farage - rather than study the policies and whether it actually check out whether it makes sense rather than being written on the back of a fag packet or looking at the weirdos also involved , they think ‘he likes a pint, hates foreigners, ( unless they are rich) , quite happy to scam people, says what he thinks - I’m like that too’

He knows he can't be booted out if he's a wartime president. That's the only way he's going to stay where he is.

Looking to the example of his buddy Netanyahu, possibly?
Scumbags, both.

This. London is statistically significantly safer than New York.

He’s an utter twat.

if he were not so old I would be hugely concerned he would try to become a dictator. I think maybe he will try anyway but thank fuck he won’t live long enough to create Nazi type reign. I don’t know enough about his cabinet or American politics to know if I should be concerned the movement will continue without him.

i have a love of history. I think it’s shocking we can’t see the pattern repeating. It’s not just Nazi power that started with similar tactics and patterns the whole world should be concerned

Theres a bit of me that thinks a really crazy, unstable, unpredictable lunatic running the US just might be the antidote required for the Communist threat that Russia, China and N Korea have created. Maybe at this difficult time he is just crazy enough to make other lunatics step back a bit.

More like rubbing their hands in glee that Trump is reneging on all the old agreements between western nations at such a speed that other NATO are left scrambling and vulnerable. We absolutely need to get shot if the US asap and defend our own borders ( and be free of their debt) but it takes time to build warships, and armies, and all the rest.

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

@WeaselCheeks100% totally agree - I do partly have to blame the democrats though - quite clearly Biden ( who seemed a very steady amiable and intelligent guy -an old fashioned diplomat with class) was not well or up to it anymore , so they ended up substituting last minute with Harris who in my opinion was a very poor speaker going on about peace and joy all the time - now I’m no right winger , but that won’t cut it outside of very very particular areas and demographics in a country with major issues socially and economically . They had far more able candidates who I think could have cut through and done us all a favour , but blew it by dilly dallying .

I have just come back from - LA, San Fran, San Diego. And a few weeks before that - Boston, NYC, NJ, Philly, Pittsburg, DC.
staying in ‘naice’ hotels but all central/downtown in those cities. DC, fine as always, but the others? People
are
struggling. Really struggling.

Maybe the ones that disagree with him being a twat think he’s a cunt?

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 …

I drank a whole bottle of Beechams 3 in 1 whilst pregnant and a pack of Lemsip. Then read the packets and had a fricken heart attack that I didn’t realise all the decongestants were dangerous. Hated myself for months and luckily my child is neurotypical.

I’ve just left the US. California. And I can tell you that 80% of the people around me thought he was a massive dick.

I’ve noticed that rhetoric in the UK about ‘you can’t believe what you read in the UK media about Trump, all Americans are happy with him… It’s repetitive and definitely seems to come from the people who are doing ‘their own research’ and I can guess pretty much 99% of the rest of the canned bollocks they’re coming out with.

You don’t need to believe what you read in the UK media, you can just listen to the shit that comes out of his mouth to get everything you need to know.

And you need to be extremely naïve to not think that what he’s doing doesn’t impact the whole world.

Hard to see how anyone with more than one braincell would disagree with you, OP.

Get NATO to pay attention, oh indeed. Pay attention to the fact that a once powerful
ally is now potentially as much of a threat as the ‘enemies’ they were supposed to be worrying about.
I would LOVE to know what Putin has on Trump.

I used to think that something would come out about Trump that would wake up the americans. Now I think there could be pictures of his have his way with a goat and his supporters would say "That's what I like about him. He keeps it real!"
