Donald trump!!

[Filltheglass]

Just nearly got assasinated!!!

That would be because he put migrants into camps, separating children from their parents and treating them like subhumans. He has always been a white supremacist. His father was a card carrying KKK member and raised Trump on those beliefs. Early in his career, Trump was an enforcer for his dad's real estate empire. One of his jobs was to lay down the law to any building managers who let people of colour rent an apartment. That's just scratching the surface. Try reading up on his early life and career. It is eye opening about who and what he is.

It's not a perfect comparison, but close enough for a lot of people.

5 years ago the Brazilian Presidential candidate Bolsanaro an erstwhile ally of Trump was stabbed during the electioneering - he went on to win the election.

Of course. He would have loved that. 🙂

Yes, I'm also thankful that I don't have to choose between them. I would vote Democrat, but it would stick in my craw that there wasn't a reasonable option.

That is the stone cold truth.

Yes - who was it he took the quote from again? Hanlon's Razor, wasn't it?

But whose life got worse in those years? Interest rates were low, inflation was low, unemployment was low.

Who suffered, and how did they suffer? I'd really like to know, as it didn't affect anyone I know. People act like he unhoused 100 million people and starved 200 million. He did neither. Certainly acted/behaved like an azzhat at times, but then, I feel every President in the last few decades have acted/behaved like one at some point. He just took it up several a few notches.

I was prepared for the worst with him at the helm, but it wasn't horrible. I do not think he will be a benefit to this country though, as he is just "too much" for my liking.

Nothing bad happened? 😖 Please get informed.

People living in Eastern Europe will be frigging terrified that Trump will get in.

The camps were a left over from the Obama Administration.

Trump was never a white supremecist.

It was claimed, only during the 2016 election, that Trump's father was once arrested during a KKK rally, with clash against the police. However, it has never been determined that he even supported the KKK.

Get your facts straight please

Well, as long as you were okay, everything's good.

Tonight in the Kremlin Putin will be in celebratory mode.

He would get deleted from Mumsnet instead he writes for the Times and appears on the BBC. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4752022-bbc-host-deletes-joke-biden-trump-murder-mock-critics/

Fastest growing threat.

Life was perfectly fine and normal. The world wasn't set on fire.

Just as there are Republicans who would never vote for Trump, there are groups called, Dems for Trump. That's how it works.
It really ISN'T rocket science.

Really? So in other words there are no political affiliations any more then? Just people who vote for Trump and people who don't?

I'm not American and it doesn't make sense to me that someone would bother to call themselves a democrat if they're more recently a Trump supporter. Maybe you could explain?

Your world was fine is what you said. Which means absolutely nothing to the many who have suffered in that time. It's a ridiculous and smug view, and you'd better hope that you don't end up suffering like so many others have in the last few years. When live aid was on, did you just turn your head and pop off to the shops?

What is it people think he will do?

They think he will withdraw US support for Ukraine. Which would embolden Putin to start firing nuclear weapons.

Dearest SpudleyLass;

"The Obama administration responded to the outrage by rushing to expand its capacity to handle the new migration wave at the border, to adapt an infrastructure built to handle single adult men, not families and children."

"The facility was controversial at the time, but it wasn’t until Trump’s zero-tolerance episode in spring 2018 that the facility came to symbolize the kind of administrative cruelty associated with the intentional separation of children from their parents by the government."

Re white supremacy;

Fred Trump was arrested for fighting with cops at a KKK rally. Vice News looked into it and reported that all the arrestees were robed marchers. If that isn't evidence that he was KKK, then I guess there is no such thing as evidence.

What fun. I've been wanting to beat my head against a brick wall all day.

No you get your facts straight.

I am so sick of reading this disingenuous crap.

Robert J Hanlon. What he actually said was never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence.

Who directly suffered as a result of trump from 2017 to 2019?

Before COVID (I checked this) US unemployment was at an all time low.

@DanielGault you may have a point but I’m interested too
