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.

It is now 19% of people saying he isn't a twat. This goes to prove my point that I made on the other thread that mumnet as most social media has now been infiltrated by either bots working towards a fascist agenda or complete an utter, stupid fools who have fallen for it.

Be very aware of this.

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.

He’s a dangerous lunatic

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

UK has issues fair enough but it's not going to hell in a hand cart like the Daily Mail repeats on a loop.
I'd rather live in the UK as it is than the dystopian nightmare that's unfolding in America.
Anyone that comes out with the lunacy that Trump spouts on a regular basis isn't worth listening to as he has nothing to say and says it too loud.

DawnDayDusk · 23/09/2025 18:11

Yep he's a really BIG, BEAUTIFUL T**T

Fromage · 23/09/2025 18:10

Entirely unrelated to trump, I am following an insta account called didhedietoday.

Trump is both riduculous and frightening.

I don’t think that’s in dispute.

But tbh the people who listen to him and believe him bear some responsibility here.

I’m not talking about his minions and sidekicks, I’m talking about average members of the public.

If the paracetamol bollocks was the first thing you could be forgiven for being worried. But let’s just see what else he had to offer.

He suggested that we should inject bleach in order to cure COVID.

As part of his election debate he talked about how foreigners in Springfield were eating the cats and the dogs of the residents there.

And now this.

The man isn’t even vaguely plausible, and so anyone who believes a word of what he says is a twat as well…

All the news outlets and the health teams need to be saying is “just look at who has made the claims.” And that should be enough.

Those that's are playing a constant game of 'see no evil, hear no evil'. They couldn't give two hoots about truth and sensibility.

He has the biggest brass neck in the world standing up there saying things which are demonstrably false like London wants to go to sharia law, or climate change is a hoax. Or that he has ended 7 wars. The rest of the delegates must just be sitting there wondering what on earth was happening.

As my dad used to say, he just opens his mouth and lets his belly rumble.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 23/09/2025 18:04

I’m off sick at the
momemt, it was quite amusing watching the daytime teams trying to get the wording

LifeIsTooFlippingShort · 23/09/2025 18:04

Well he's solved 7, no 8, wars, brought down the price of pharmaceuticals by 1000% and discovered that the cause of autism was paracetamol all along 🤣

Why are you so focused on American politics

hattie43 · 23/09/2025 18:03

I like his entertainment value .

29% disagree🤣🤣

There's a lot of TDS

I have a friend who has fallen down the rabbit hole. She now believes it's everyone else who has had the wool pulled over their eyes, Facts don't matter to her anymore.
I completely understand that people want and need change, but to go towards the extreme right in politics often leads to solutions that are rooted in fear, exclusion, and nationalism. We're repeating the past and it's terrifying.

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 23/09/2025 17:57

I'm actually horrified that 24 people (at the time of writing) think he's not a twat. Unless they've all clicked YABU because "twat" is far too mild a word to describe the absolute shit show of a selfish and nasty human being that is POTUS? Please let it be that.

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.

Where has she moved from? The US is a huge place with very different levels of income, etc so it would be interesting to know.

You can''t blame the guns on Trump. I don't recall any Democrat presidents getting rid of them either?

America is awash with problems he would do well to shut the fuck up about the UK as his tuppence worth isn't required or wanted.

RosenWilloughby · 23/09/2025 17:55

Are you happy with the current state of the UK?

Dweetfidilove · 23/09/2025 17:53

I beg your pardon?

Because of him I know how to avoid autism in children, I know Shariah law is now the law in London and I've learnt proper funeral etiquette . And that's all in less than 48 hours.

I will not have you or anyone else sullying the man's reputation!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Him banging on how London has changed..he wasn't saying this the other week when he was a guest of King Charles.
Yes the UK has issues like any other Nation.
At least we don't have an estimated 393,000,000 guns kicking about and all that entails.. School Shootings on a weekly basis and that before we get into his latest bit of lunacy.The paracetamol guff, Then the Christian funda mentalist's (deliberate split of the word)
America has God on its side and Trump is the conduit .

The US far right and and Christian lobby are funding hatred and division throughout the world. I don't think he will start an actual war though. He wants to be immortal. I do feel sorry for the poor in the USA. They voted for him in desperation.

itsAforapple · 23/09/2025 17:43

Christ, don’t even get me started on the whole autism/paracetamol thing.
