Trump speech at DAVOS

I wouldn’t put it past him to nick both honestly.

America. You are a laughing stock.

This guy is your country's most prominent 'statesman'. He represents you on the world stage.

Have a fucking word with yourselves!

The thing about speaking German/Japanese is a direct quote from Trump's speech today, not the poster's personal opinion

I agree with all you say. No way should Biden have run a second time, it was a disaster waiting to happen.

However, Trump is just beyond Biden in intelligence, morals, knowledge and so much more.

I've followed US politics for a long time, and I get sick of hearing about the Constitution/checks/balances. With someone like Trump they just ride roughshod over all of that. It's so depressing.

"The Somalis had a higher IQ than we thought". That's sounds like Nazism. He's a deranged cunt.

Edit: I changed to Somalis, but I think he called them Somalians.

I think he probably just accidentally let it slip he’s thinking of extending his imaginary US empire to Iceland after he’s got himself Greenland.
It’s insane….!

If it wasn't for the Red Army and the Commonwealth nations.....fixed it for ya

It was NATO. As if NATO were a person

At least that "Leader of the Free World" bollocks is gone. It always made my skin crawl. I live in the free world, and the American president has never been my "leader".

Way back when he first ran for President we likened it to those boozy New Years Eves when, under the influence, decided we would all go to Glastonbury or climb Kilimanjaro, leaving walking frames etc at the bottom. We, fortunately, sobered up by the next couple of days.

I never wanted to leave the EU - but not sure having done so any government could get us back in and current one is looking at closer ties anyway.

I do agree defence spending needs to go up - but we have relatively high taxes smaller tax base to tax and are in considerable debt - and cutting other areas not been going well and tends to be unpopular with public.

Also not sure about EU army TBH - working together more yes - longer term maybe.

I do agree it's a new world order we are seeing emerge and we and other countries will have to adapt.

He’s the joke I enjoy. The orange man baby is just so out there, I just have to laugh. 😂😂😂

There are people - in power - who can make things go away. Just like they did with Jeffrey Epstein. Can't they do it now???

<sarcasm>

I would imagine that there are many Americans especially in 'fly-over country', who think he's marvellous, the people who know the square root of f a about anything outside their owns shores, even outside their own state.

Biden had age-related cognitive decline, mild-to-moderate. Normal doddery old person stuff.

Trump has much the same, but because he is a lifelong sociopath and no longer able to use cognitive resources to hide that, it's turning into full-blown psychosis.

Someone pointed out recently that with the exception of Obama, every US president since 1992 was born in 1946 (Clinton, George W Bush, Trump, Biden, Trump). The world is being run by old scared men clinging to their authoritarian power (Erdogan, born 1954; Xi, 1953; Putin, 1952; Netanyahu, 1949).

“Until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy, right? Very smart man said, ‘He’s our daddy.’"

Talking about NATO?

He is like those old men who watch telly and shout at the screen their ideas of putting the world to rights
Except people have given him the power to make all his ill thought out ideas come to reality

We were listening to it in the car on the way out to get lunch. Drove five miles, ate lunch got back in the car and he was still going. We said 'is he still talking?'

Stopped at the supermarket, got a whole trolley load of food, got back in the car and he was still going. Drove five miles back home. Got out of the car and he was still going. 😂

What’s so sad is that most people looked up to the USA over the last 50 years or so. Admired them and wanted to be like them (in some ways). Now I recoil and look at them in pity and horror. How could this have happened to such an amazing and wonderful country. Trump is just a symptom on what lies beneath. He was voted in.

We need to up our defence spending, rejoin the EU and create a European army.

Brexit was a huge mistake.

It’s the only way. As Carney said earlier, the old ways are no more.

This.

He spoke about Renee Good, the woman shot dead by an ICE agent, and said what huge fans of his her parents were/are (not in this speech though).

The disrespect is just off the scale.

I was watching a video of GWB and John McCain earlier and the stark difference in manners and grace was astonishing

Are we so dependent on him? Is there nothing we can do?

TBF our poltican are doing it trying to keep him on side at same time scrambling to deal with fact we can't rely on US for defence any more and trying to get new plans up to speed.

The EU may impose more economic sanctions - as might we - and the greenland plans not popular in US either.

World economic and trade routes are adjusting away from US - and it in the courts at minute I think as to whether Trump can impose tarriffs like he has been doing.

I will say one thing for the UK, we would have got rid of a leader like this ages ago despite not having a written constitution. Meanwhile this dementia ridden mentally unwell man holds the most powerful office in the world. Truly terrifying
