In one sentence what is your opinion of the Orange Chump Trump & his ambition to own the World.

He is a delusional f*wit, but there are people around him who are enabling and encouraging him because it suits their agenda. They are the really evil ones.

YorkieTheRabbit · 07/01/2026 17:24

The “special relationship” also helped drag the UK into Iraq and Afghanistan, and we all know how well that turned out.
Trump is an unhinged twat, surrounded by yes men.

Absolutely - and the problem is a lot of media and other involved republicans will be invested in not rocking the boat - for either personal income reasons or sponsors/shareholders - you only had to watch the series the Morning show to see how many totally screwed up many decisions were purely to appease ‘sponsors’ - all of whom had a particular agenda or substantial assets in certain sectors /industrys

Scary.

More than one word - he is a scary, insane man who should have power taken away from him because he's no better than Putin or any others of these corrupt, greedy narcissists in charge. He will start WW3.

Are we really involved ? 🤦‍♀️ why do we have to be so far up America’s arse ?! It’s massive cringe

Leaving the EU certainly didn't help.

This just about sums it up.

Yes it pretty much hits the nail
on the head although I’d describe him as a malignant narcissist, the top and most messed up/insane type of narcissist.

Yep I think many underestimate this - it made us somewhat Billy no mates with more of a reliance on US and China etc than is healthy , for any investment at all etc

This. You have to be friends with someone and the EU was the best of a very bad set of options.

Which is exactly why Putin gamed the Brexit vote.

My favourite daydream is seeing the news headline that the thing I have hoped for has finally happened.

halfbakedbutternutsquash · 07/01/2026 17:56

I think he can be a pillock at times, but is mostly just hilarious, bold, larger than life, extremely misunderstood, maligned, and frankly kinda cool, but I know that's not what you wanted to hear.

If you treat public service as a soap opera, those qualities are important.

If you want to avoid WWIII, not so much.

Let me guess, you're hoping for an assassination? Cause you're the nice one?

Sadly I think many do see things like this - Boris Johnson fitted the ‘ highly amusing’ kept the press happy mould ‘ as well -

Doesn’t have to be an assassination. Could just as easily be a massive heart attack.

The only true thing you have said there is that he is a pillock. He's certainly not misunderstood or cool.

It's not about him being "amusing". Boldness and unwavering commitment to your vision are excellent leadership qualities, very rare.

I don’t wish death on him, or anyone.

But he has caused the needless deaths of many people. And will on many more. Illegal deaths. So if people would be happy for karma to come for him, I understand why.

Are you the nice one if shooting drowning men is OK? Cubans who happened to be in Venezuela at the wrong time? Capitol police officers who died of their injustices or killed themselves after the insurrection? SNAP recipients? What about innocent people in Salvadoran prisons? Are you ‘nice’?

Just on the unwavering piece.

America First out of Afghanistan, plunging it into Taliban hands. No boots on the ground, no policing the world, no America as saviour. Not USA’s job, no foreign wars.

Take over Venezuela. And maybe Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Columbia. Delta Force (I assume they wear boots) on the ground.

That’s not unwavering commitment to anything but violent stupidity.

It was Biden who took the US out of Afghanistan and armed the Taliban with the weapons they left, not Trump.

Are you denying that Trump has repeatedly framed himself as a ‘no foreign wars’ president?

I disagree with your premise that he has caused needless deaths. No more than any other leader of any powerful country. In fact, he's saved the lives of Israeli hostages.
