He has a garden plan.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53292585

'US President Donald Trump has ordered the creation of a "National Garden of American Heroes" to defend what he calls "our great national story" against those who vandalise statues.

His executive order gives a new task force 60 days to present plans, including a location, for the garden.'

TheNorthWestPawsage · 04/07/2020 21:08

Build that wall... karma

The EU won’t let in Americans. Neither will Canada. Now ironically Mexico is trying to close their border. Trump has made the USA into the shithole country.

I wonder how many Native Americans will feature

lionheart · 04/07/2020 22:18

He'll find that Mexican response galling, won't he?

I suppose they could just fill the garden with all those decommissioned statues and monuments.

lionheart · 04/07/2020 22:21

Nothing organic, of course, since everything Trump touches dies.

lionheart · 04/07/2020 22:25

It doesn't do to dwell on this Freudian slip copy and paste error.

'A campaign ad for President Donald Trump that appeared on Vice President Mike Pence’s social media accounts Friday referred to Trump as “my father.”'

TheNorthWestPawsage · 04/07/2020 22:42

Well... what does that mean for "Mother" Pence...?Hmm

Try not to think about it North. I'm sorry I even posted it. Smile

This might be a useful distraction.

'Trump Is Turning America Into the ‘Shithole Country’ He Fears.

The president’s mindless nationalism has come to this: Americans are not welcome in Europe or Mexico.'

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts about GingerIvy. She was indeed very prolific on these threads at the beginning and yes, posted lots of links. She's the one who introduced me to them, but after a while, I think she thought she was too obsessive about what was going on in her home country and gave up reading about it for the sake of her sanity. (I'm having one of those moments about my own country now, having just heard the morning news headlines mentioning Spitfires to celebrate the work of frontline NHS workers, but that's for a different thread!)

Goodness, @TheNorthWestPawsage, that's like imagining a reality TV host running for President and being elected. Oh, wait.

Lweji · 05/07/2020 08:23

I've just come here to share those news.

I was about to laugh, but then...

Roussette · 05/07/2020 08:44

Kanye West!!

What can you say?

Lweji · 05/07/2020 08:55

If anything, it could be a strategy to divert the black vote from Biden.

Anniegetyourgun · 05/07/2020 09:06

What can you say?

I think "Aaaaaaargh" should cover it nicely. That's more or less what I said this morning when I heard it on the radio and realised I was actually awake.

Lweji · 05/07/2020 09:23

It won't surprise you, but:

In the last few months I've noticed people sharing posts about Trump, who had been more or less ignored here in Portugal in the past 3 years.

lionheart · 05/07/2020 10:26

Oh. KW.

I don't think he is well. Sad

lionheart · 05/07/2020 11:05

Not sure what this is about.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/2-people-hit-by-car-on-i-5-in-downtown-seattle-during-protest/

'One person was killed and another was seriously injured after a driver plowed into a nightly protest on a closed stretch of Interstate 5 in Seattle early Saturday.

Summer Taylor, a 24-year-old from Seattle, died Saturday night at Harborview Medical Center, said Harborview Medical Center spokesperson Susan Gregg. Diaz Love, a 32-year-old from Portland, Oregon, was in serious condition in the intensive-care unit Saturday night.'
