Page 5 | AIBU to find Dawn French's latest Trump comments more sad than funny?

Sausagenbacon · 2026-09-15T07:58:31+00:00

I can't link Dawn French's latest rant, about Trump, but, if anyone else has seen it, do you find it funny. Or just feel very sorry for her?

So I can't comment about Trump on a thread about... Trump?

If you read the thread, you'll see a poster accused me of derailing. I haven't policed anyone.

Well it’s not a thread about trump its a thread about Dawn French, and you’ve still told people not to talk about what she’s said previously

I think for me, I have higher standards for my 'allies' than my 'enemies'. I expect the latter to behave poorly - that's part of why I don't agree with them, generally. But if the former starts behaving poorly too...well, then I'm just surrounded by idiots.

I get your point Otterly, but given the abusive language used by the posters above, and hearing them say 'go high when they go low', the irony is hard not to comment on.

It's not great, is it? I can't imagine recording it, watching it back and deciding to post it. I wondered if she was drunk.

Not drunk just woke up and thought i need to revive my failing status

Again, why is the onus on those on the left to go high?

Leave the lovely Dawn alone - she has had a shitty life - everything needs to be taken in context.

Well, Trump has no problem making fun of people who are disabled. Behave like that, you invite the same behaviour in return.

Edited to say that as an aside, I cannot bear Dawn French weighing on world politics by talking in baby talk. I am rather sick of clueless celebrities diluting everything down to yes or no answers and "whose side are you on?"

Edited

In that case, why are you expressing dislike for Trump?

That's part of a wider context, and you, the self-appointed thread police, have prohibited any inclusion of a wider context.

And many of us are pointing out this isn’t the first time she’s made an odd video. Except last time it wasn’t odd it was disgustingly offensive.

Funny how certain people NEVER wanna talk about what happens to Jews but are very quick to shut down anyone who does, even in relevant topics
