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.

What absolute rubbish i travel there every week for work! Nothing has changed at all! In fact i feel safer walking round New York using my phone for directions than i do in London.

I have also returned from the US, frequent traveller there for work, have been for 20 years, and the levels of poverty and drug addiction there at the moment are absolutely awful. People lying barely conscious on the streets,
zombified on Tranq… it’s never been this bad in all the years I’ve been there.

What has he done lately that prompted this? I tend not to keep up with the Tangerine-in-Chief.

Talking shite at the UN - telling everyone else how terrible their country is, worse than the USA obvs despite their endless school
shootings, immigration problems, tanking economy, opioid crisis, failing education system, healthcare crisis for the uninsured, and that’s before you get to the right wing nutters trying to take away basic human rights for women & girls.

I used to work with an otherwise intelligent and lovely individual who told me with a completely straight face that it was a proven scientific fact that vaccines gave you the disease it was meant to prevent. She completely believed it. I tried at first to talk to her about this but was so convinced that it's true that there was no dissuading her.

I've also met a lot of intelligent well educated professionals who happen to be Americans. And many have said they don't understand the US electoral system and so don't vote. That's why people like Trump can get elected because others are happy to believe what they hear on their local bigoted radio station and line up like lambs to be slaughtered. And then wonder why things are all wonderful anymore.

So bad but so do I. I loved Boris Johnson for exactly the same reason. Entertainment galore. I don’t really follow politics so forgive me if I’ve offended anyone.

You obviously have the luxury of not having to worry about the impact such politicians will have on your life. Forgive me for not feeling entertained.

SquirrelosaurusSoShiny · 23/09/2025 18:48

I'll never forgive the left for handing him this victory and platform. The Labour Party and Lib Dems are running out of time to get their shit together and keep this horror show out of Britain. Ditch woke bullshit, protect free speech, secure the borders, sort out the NHS, get lazy bastards off benefits and into work. If they don't do this, then people will vote for whoever promises to do so even if it's horseshit.

Maybe write to Starmer and ask him. He is the one spouting off how much they like and respect each other. 😂

Yes, a complete creep.

My niece who has teenage daughters has just moved home to the UK. The US is barely a 1st world country any more. The levels of ignorance and deprivation are appalling.

Relieved to hear that climate change is all fake and Trump has stop 7 wars so far though. As well as discovering the cause of autism.
surprised to hear that London is moving to Sharia law though, that was new. I didn’t realise that London had it owns laws separate to the rest of the country but thank god then if orange twat has brought that to light.

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

His insane ramblings at the UN would shame any normal country. His speech was a hideous cocktail of delusional, demented, spiteful, ignorant, racist bullshit. The US media are so craven and spineless that they greet every deluded utterance as pearls of wisdom. It would be hilarious if he wasn't so dangerous.

My colleague has been elated today. He thinks the orange chump is the best thing ever. Showed me a video saying that the American govt have admitted to mass geoengineering and chemtrails. On GB news apparently. The paracetamol thing was another 'gotcha' moment on top of vaccines being the cause of everything from autism to every cancer going. He's vehemently anti Muslim, so the sharia law stuff also featured. Today has been wearing!

@cobrakaieaglefang oh me you have my utmost sympathy.
If you get him for a secret Santa buy him a loo roll to wipe his mouth.😁

I think it’s important not to automatically jump to “it’s bots.” Because by assuming that everyone thinks the way we do we run the risk of his popularity creeping in unseen and unchallenged.

The fact is that he des have supporters. Millions of them. Fuck knows why, but he does. Enough to have won an election, and there are plenty of states you can go to in the US where the support for and love of trump is overwhelming.

We need to be very aware of that rather than just dismissing the support as “it’s bots.” Because some of it absolutely is real.

Completely agree, either bots or complete fools.As I stated in my post.

We have actors and comedians and musicians and dancers to do that for us.

I don't need to be 'entertained' by somebody who has access to nuclear kill codes.

Digdongdoo · 23/09/2025 18:17

I'd far rather live here than his shit show of a country. How dare he enjoy a no expense spared visit and then slag us off.
It's quite unbelievable that he is the president of the USA, for the second time and we're all supposed to pretend to take him seriously. What the fuck has the world come to?

Catterbat · 23/09/2025 18:15

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

Wonderpool · 23/09/2025 18:03

He makes me cringe and I really don't like him but I totally agree with his views on the state of our country.

Which bit do you agree with? The bigoted lie that we’re moving to Sharia law? The wild claim that we should still be drilling under the North Sea because climate change is a con?
nothing he says makes any sense. The man’s unhinged.
