"Ginger" Too bad Trump couldn't have made such a 'heart felt' call to May after the Westminster attacks and left it at that instead of turning it into sound bites for his agenda.

As far as the many deaths happening due to US bombing raids in the ME, I expect any calls to Heads of State there would consist of "Yeah, sucks to be you guys".

A Spanish navy ship just illegally entered Gibraltar waters after Brexit war threat

Terrific. Hmm

CaveMum · 04/04/2017 16:25

They (the Spanish) are always doing it. It's a macho penis waving thing. Much like the Russian aircraft that keep buzzing our airspace.

Of course what they don't mention is how often we do the same back.

According to Pat Bell of River Bend, she voted for Trump but never supported his border wall plan and now she may have to get a lawyer because her home will no longer be in Texas

What DID people vote for Trump then?

To repeal Obamacare when they will lose their health insurance.
To build a wall, when their land will be in Mexico.
To keep immigrants away when some relatives or partners are going to be kicked out.
To keep crooked Hillary out and have instead the Hunchback of Trump Dame.
To drain the swamp, and end up with Invasion of the Swamp Thing Clones.

The Spanish do it to Portugal on occasion too.

In all fairness:

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump

Spoke to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May today to offer condolences on the terrorist attack in London. She is strong and doing very well.

MSNBC‏ @MSNBC
WATCH: @mitchellreports speaks with former National Security Adviser Susan Rice at 12 p.m. ET. Tune in to MSNBC for the latest.

This might be worth a watch if you're in the US.

Lweji · 04/04/2017 16:34

Apparently, Trump offered May condolences for her loss and to Putin for Russia's loss.

It's quite patronising saying that she is strong and doing well, as if she could be expected not to handle such a crisis as well as any male leader.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 04/04/2017 16:42

It does make her sound like someone recovering from a hip operation!

And yes, imagine if Trump said that Putin was "strong and doing well" - just seems inconceivable.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 04/04/2017 16:43

Although he has gone on about how Putin is strong, just not in the context of someone dealing with a tragedy.

Congrats to @Cernovich for breaking the #SusanRice story. In a long gone time of unbiased journalism he'd win the Pulitzer, but not today!

Nothing to do with his pal Putin supporting the regime, then?

OK, what will Trump DO about it?

Lweji · 04/04/2017 17:12

"Assad, stop gassing people or I'll tweet about you"

But the US should stay out of Syria and not want to change the regime at all.

In a speech to construction workers, Trump is reviewing his electoral college margin.

If openly following a policy of trying to remove Assad from power and using military means to try and advance that policy is weakness, what the hell does that make the policy of letting him stay and do whatever the fuck he likes that Trump's team is proposing? Seriously, these guys are insane! Angry
