As requested from a previous thread

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2823906-to-think-you-should-ignore-people-having-a-go-at-you-if-you-are-the-President-Elect-of-the-USA?

It's going to be a beautiful thread. MNers, who by the way are amazing, can contribute as much as they want.

Here's Emma Kennedy's Trump Bingo card:

I especially like - "Plugs a golf course" - that would be genius if he manages to get that in.

I'm half expecting the band to break into Star Wars Darth Vader music

What's happening? Anyone shot yet? Has Putin galloped up half naked riding a grizzly bear? Had Melania taken to her heels, running down the mall screaming 'nooooooooooooo/nyeeeeeeeeetttttttt'?

More importantly - has his wig blown off?

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:04

Melania is looking very stylish.

Hillary looks like a bulldog sucking piss off a nettle.

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:06

Ivanka's roots need doing Hmm

Thank YOU Informal I just came on to say that, awful roots. Barron looks a lovely lad doesn't he... but blimey, Eric's got a face for radio hasn't he?

(please don't criticise me for being horrible to them, they are adults... apart from Barron)

squishysquirmy · 20/01/2017 16:09

I think Hillary looks pretty classy, actually. The cameras keep zooming in on her face, presumably hoping she'll cry. Much as I understand some of the criticism direct at Hillary, I have a lot of sympathy for her - here, yet again in the role of "wife of President Clinton" when it really should have been her.

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:10

Barron looks like he'd rather be at school doing double maths.

squishysquirmy · 20/01/2017 16:10

Poor kid, why the hell won't one of his half siblings give him a hug or something?

Roussette · 20/01/2017 16:11

It's not exactly swarming with crowds is it... BBC is saying it is 'spartan'...

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:11

Yeah, Hillary has her game face on now - good for her.

Roussette · 20/01/2017 16:12

squishy I was thinking this ... they are almost ignoring him and at one point I thought Eric told him to stand back when walking along together. He's only really young, why aren't they helping him through this. Poor kid.

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:12

Yeah and the BBC says that Trump will still claim it as the biggest crowd ever Grin

areyoubeingserviced · 20/01/2017 16:13

I feel sorry for Barron. He appears to be overwhelmed by everything.
I hope that he gets the necessary support.

HobbitTankard · 20/01/2017 16:13

I wish Tiffany or Eric had walked with Barron and put an adult family member at the rear: Hold the kid's hand!

Hillary looks good but apart from greeting the Bushes her smile is forced, understandably.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/01/2017 16:13

Poor Barron looks really uncomfortable up on the balcony although he just managed to crack a warmer expression.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/01/2017 16:14

God, Hillary, Bill and Dubya all look like they are gritting their teeth.

Bettercallsaul1 · 20/01/2017 16:15

Poor Hillary! Cheated. Sad

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:17

Sadly it doesn't look at all windy, so I don't think we'll see Trump's yak hair doing anything interesting.

squishysquirmy · 20/01/2017 16:18

Infinitely more gracious in defeat than Trump was in victory. She has more states(wo)manship in the tip of her little finger than Trump does in his whole body.

InformalRoman · 20/01/2017 16:19

I think Michelle O is going to get really emotional.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/01/2017 16:19

Michelle for the win!!! She's so lovely and frigging awesome! Oh, Kati Adler (sp?) has just said she doesn't want to go into politics. Sad

Well out of all them them, you'd have thought at least God would do something a bit more productive.

areyoubeingserviced · 20/01/2017 16:19

So sad to think that Michelle Obama will no longer be First Lady.
