Thought I’d be brave and start a pro-Trump thread for a change, after all, there are so many anti-Trump ones , we need some balance!
I even tried commenting on an anti-Trump thread today… and wow, just kept being told to go away, my comments were not well received. Honestly, I feel honoured to feel as if I have been officially deported, what an achievement!😂

Well unlike a lot of politicians he is actually achieving a lot of what he said he promised he would do during his campaign.

He has done more in his first year than Biden achieved in 4 years. Anybody remember what he achieved after 4 years?

Are you going to actually tell us what you think these “achievements” are?

This is a forum of predominantly mums, mostly educated, why would any of us be in support of a convicted rapist, a paedophile, a fraudster, a demented narcissist.

The silver lining is that with him in charge , the mask has slipped from the USA and we can see now what they’ve always been, and it’s certainly nothing to do with freedom. We allowed ourselves to trust and rely on them too much, we are dependent on them for our tech and banking and defence and the list goes on, but now we in Europe must set up our own services etc, it will take years but it needs to happen.

The minute Biden stepped down and a Brown Woman took his place it was obvious how Trump got elected.

i know little about US politics. I do know a brown woman never stood a chance.

I don’t think her colour was that relevant , I think US is incredibly mysogonistic outside of comfortably off urban citys and even there I think it can be borderline. Problem is though Kamala for me was a poor speaker - all the hope and joy stuff and very little economic policy talked about , that isn’t going to wash against a guy like Trump, who lies, cheats, and makes up policy on the hoof to appeal to the average Joe. I don’t think he would have won against Gavin Newsom or mark kelly

CurlewKate · 29/01/2026 22:22

Why?

It’s probably a bot, if not a bot then a moron parroting crap they see on Facebook about starmer, he’s done some decidedly shit stuff (eg Israel) but domestically there are a few improvements, not that anyone would realise with our media coverage.

Doubt it. She hates Donald.

You'd rather live in fear of being killed on the streets by the government backed organisations than have Kier Starmer?

It really had nothing to do with her skin colour and everything to do with her lack of policies.

After spending a billion dollars on her election campaign she will go down in history as the best example of "you can't win elections by simply not being the other guy".

Hilary didn't win the election either.

I am filling up my bingo card...... tangerine mentioned.
So his colour is so important to you that you have to mention it. 🙄What would you say if I kept mentioning someone's colour?

When it's artificially applied, his colour is open season. He obviously cakes that stuff on, his face skin looks so artificial.

Fulmine · 29/01/2026 22:48

OP, you still haven't come up with one thing that Trump has achieved. That really says it all.

Fulmine · 29/01/2026 22:49

OP, do you think it's OK that Trump publicly condoned the murder of Alex Pretti?

@Carpediemtoday

Any comment on the Epstein files ?

Clinton is in them. He admits that and wants them released.
Bill Gates is in them - it killed his marriage.
Bezos is in them - it killed his marriage.
Squiggle Andrew is in them - he's not prince any more

what is Trump so scared of
when he is shameless about everything else ?

Several posters have predicted that Trump would pull all kinds of tricks to make everyone forget about the Epstein files.
They should be released pronto!
If Trump has nothing to hide then he shouldn't worry.

She won the popular vote, and it was a phenomenally screwed up election, so we'll probably never know what would have happened without this

When you think of the ongoing bleating about her emails when you look at what Trump has done it's... well, it's something...

Even if we don't get into the most horrific parts of what he's currently doing and just focus for a moment on the security issues - we have the files he took with him to Mar a Lago after the end of this first term, having military related discussions on a Signal chat and accidently inviting a journalist...

No matter how many things you list, it's the tip of the iceberg. And even if you could list all the security-related things, it would be onto the next category. People and the media literally can't keep up (the media that's trying to).

It’s still a load of made up bollocks.

Agree. The problem with those who believe in conspiracy theories is that they will never change their mind and often double down.

Agreed. It's so bad that I think we're almost forgetting on a daily basis the horrific things his administration is doing.

The stories about Liam Ramos, the five-year-old boy are breaking my heart. There are serious concerns about his health, he's asking for his mum and where his backpack and bunny hat are, I just can't cope with the fact that there are so many people willingly ok with doing this to children. Imagine being somebody who knowingly could put this situation right, and just not doing it. They go to bed at night in their nice safe warm beds knowing there are detention centers full of children because of them. And then people start threads like these supporting those animals. I'm not religious but if there's a hell, then...

There's a quote in the article where ICE deny withholding medical care from 'illegal aliens' although it's been proven. Liam and his father however, are not even illegal. It's disgusting. Edited to add - it's inhumane regardless of legal status.

I'm not part of a mob getting in the way of law enforcement carrying out their duties. And I definitely wouldn't spit at the officers and attack their car (the week before this incident), and show up again!

Oh, you’re one of the people that thinks they were fine to murder him a week later because of a skirmish the week before. Right then.

Just by the way… seeing as they have the ability to scan each person‘s face, you’ve seen them doing that I’m sure, are you 100% sure this wasn’t retaliation? Because that would be pre-meditated murder, wouldn’t it?

That mob, by the way, I think you mean the protestors and observers who are the reason that we actually have these videos of what ICE are doing? Actually, often the only reason people know that their family has been taken in the first place, you’ve seen those videos too, right? The one where the person being aggressively removed, shouts out their name so that the observers can let their families know? Also, the ones where we see five-year-old boys being used as bait and then detained. Five-year-old boys and their fathers who are legally in the US.Yeah.

Anyway, nice post of yours.

🤮

You do know what he said about Trump before he got a sniff of power? He's a 🤡
This is what he said
"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler,"

“The more white people feel like voting for Trump, the more Black people will suffer. I really believe that.”

He also called Trump “a disaster” and “a bad man”. Later, after Trump beat Hillary Clinton, Vance told Nelson he was “deeply pessimistic”.

Well you should have heard what I was saying about Trump in 2016. I skipped the election that year. Thought it was all a ridiculous farce.

So I totally understand.

Pro-life lobby is constantly attacking him for something or another, so I think not.
