To those on here that hate/dislike trump. You are entitled to your opinion. But it's doesn't make you right. When you keep insulting his supporters or even just people that think he's okay, you don't change their minds, you just push them away further.
I think some of you are naive when it comes to other male politicians, just because they've not had their private conversations recorded and released, doesn't mean they never say bad things or make crude jokes. People not being offended by very obvious banter, does not mean they condone sexual assault. People talk about Trump supporters being brainwashed, I happen to think majority of those that hate trump are brainwashed by the media. I don't think he's done anything worthy of the amount of hate he gets.

Londonpapa you have written some very disturbing posts.

You have now said that trumps victims wanted to be sexually assaulted by him.

You also said that it's normal to joke about sexual assault.

You've written some of the worst posts that I've seen on here in a while. Its worrying

I've reported your posts.

  1. I said women seek Trump out as the prize. They want to be with him. Sure some don’t and perhaps he’s done something but we don’t know. What we do know is women have changed their stories to get a payout.
  2. It’s as if you’ve not been in a locker room of either sex. It does appear to be normal.
  3. You seem to think I’m advocating for rape. I’m not. I’m merely making the case there is room for down in all accusations as none have made it to criminal stage, and a lot were reported at the time of his presidential bid which is suspect.

Sorry but it's well known that number 3. Happens all the time with sexual assault cases. There is a woefully low conviction rate, especially if it's historical abuse. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Donald Trump is an awful person, no one disputes this.

Howeber, POTUS is the most powerful job on the planet. That person has a direct effect on what happens on the planet.

You like Biden, Harris, Obama and all, but they were weak. When you have a weak president, the world turns to shit.

I honestly don’t believe Putin would’ve invaded Ukraine, or be canoodling with Korea if Trump had been in power. I also doubt Iran would be doing what they are either. They wouldn’t because Trump is not someone to be messed with. No one knows what he really thinks, he could be a Bond villain. What I do know is that if Putin, KJY or Iran pissed off Trump, they’d live to regret it. But even before that, in the past he showed them respect, face, and turned down the heat on our relationships with them.

So, back to crazy Trump. I honestly think he’ll bring an end to the Israel/ Palestine conflict and Ukraine. It might not end how you or they will like it, but end they will because Trump will view it as a business deal and take support away if it doesn’t suit the USA.

As for kicking back on 10 million illegal immigrants in 4 years, are we for real? I was in the US in the summer when the news was talking about 2 migrants who murdered a12 year old girl. I totally get why he wants this brought under control.

His methods are hard to stomach but the alternative is the hand wringing left, which we are all sick to death of.

You underestimate Putin. He does what he likes and Trump being president wouldn't stop him.

You're wrong.

Not liking sexual abusers and harasser does make us right.

I'm against crime. Most countries are against crime.

I read where several young teenagers said that Trump walked in on them while they were naked.

I will always be against sexual abusers. And it is right to do so.

This is not about political opinion. This is about being against crime

There are some nice male leaders.

The point is deja321 when other male world leaders or male candidates that are similiar to Trump have said disgusting sexual things they are usually made to step down from power.

Why does Trunp get away with it?

You keep saying this @LondonPapa It's not normal. And just because it still might happen doesn't make it right or excuse it.

When you hear talk like this do you challenge, ignore or join in?

Deja321 you're missing the point again.

Everyone is entitled to their political viewpoint.

What people won't stand for is a sexual abuser and a criminal as leader.

How does Trunp get away with all he does?

Bill Clinton was impeached for simply lying about an affair.

Trump has done just as much, if not worse than Clinton.

Trump has been convicted of felonies, he been found liable for sexual assualt, teenage girls have accused him of inappropriate sexual behaviour. How is he allowed to be president?

"You like Biden, Harris, Obama and all, but they were weak. When you have a weak president, the world turns to shit."

You need to read the book Strongmen by Ruth Ben-Ghiat.

Every terrible fascist leader in history has sold themselves primarily as the 'strong man' who would lead his country into a brighter future.

And every single one has been a disaster.

You've fallen for this fundamental facet of fascist myth making and you have no awareness of it. Biscuit

Ah yes I actually remember talking to a young German man. He said that his grandfather had followed Hitler because Hitler had promised them the whole world. But he said his grandfather realised that men like Hitler usually get too drunk with power and actually end up destroying their country

Yes those kind of male leaders always want extreme power.

I was at a meetup group recently. And there was a Russian man there. He started talking about the situation in Russia. He was very interesting to talk to.

I know the broader details. But I was asking him for his opinion on it. He was against the war in general.

I said 'what will make Russia stop attacking Ukraine. What do Russia want from Ukraine in order to win the war".

And the Russian man said "nothing is enough for Russia. Russia want to take over the whole world. They will not stop. Nothing is enough for them to win. So it will take outside forces to stop Russia. That will be the only thing that will stop Russia. "

It was interesting.

So the vast majority of undocumented people - who are ordinary people escaping terrible economic and social conditions in their own countries - desperate to make a better life for themselves, should ALL be judged on the strength of a vile criminal act committed by an undocumented person?

Fascism

You're making a fascist argument.

You're a fascist.

You can make the argument for tighter borders and deportation without referring to undocumented people only as vile rapists.

It lists all of Trumps crimes. It's good to see them on a cover of a major magazine

I guess they're not a fan!

I believe there's a lot in what you said about "turning down the heat", @AngsanaFlower
It's very easy to whip up a froth about how awful they are - which most thoroughly agree with anyway - but while tthe frothing's clearly fun to some, a more pragmatic approach may work better in the end

@AngsanaFlower "I honestly don’t believe Putin would’ve invaded Ukraine, or be canoodling with Korea if Trump had been in power."

This is a completely deranged comment.

Trump has signalled REPEATEDLY that he's an isolationist who wouldn't take the US into a war that didn't directly impact on US interests.

Just because Trump says 'No wars would have been started if I'd been in power' it doesn't make it true.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 07/11/2024 11:37

Donald Trump's son (Donald Junior) is posting some really disgusting stuff on instagram.

This was one post

To just be loving The Donald Win!
Sandygoldenbeaches · 07/11/2024 11:42

I'm thinking of Kamala talking so graciously in defeat yesterday.

Then I go to look at Donald Trunp junior's instagram page. Instead of him saying anything kind to Kamala and saying that it was a good race, he is insulting Kamala and making fun of her.

Here is one post he put on his instagram stories today

Puzzledandpissedoff · 07/11/2024 11:49

Yes and there are numerous problems with that, @izimbra - but there's also an appeal for the many Americans who are sick of their country being expected to pay for everyone else's problems to be solved and then being snarled at for what results

Same with the approach to undocumented immigrants. I doubt too many are stupid enough to blame an entire community for the crimes of a few, especially when they look at the many millions who've built successful new lives and are valued because they contribute fully
On the other hand, neither will they take on trust the claims of fleeing terrible conditions when they know perfectly well that some are just too lazy to address their problems at home and fancy battening on someone else's success instead

CaveMum · 07/11/2024 11:50

@Sandygoldenbeaches this is politics now. I was listening to Dominic Sandbrook on the TRIP broadcast last night and he said that people, up and coming politicians, the Presidential candidates of the future, will now look at Trump's campaigns and say "this is what we must do to win" - the insults, the exaggerations (and downright lies). He has totally changed politics, probably for decades to come.

The next Democratic nominee will need to be in his (and yes I deliberately use "his") 40s, he will need to be white and he will need to be from a swing state. Any other choice, however progressive they may want to be, and it will hand the result to the Republicans and we will have, in all likelihood, President Vance.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 07/11/2024 11:57

It's really sad to look at Donald Trump Junior's instagram page.

There are loads of Trump supporters on there saying awful things. They are saying that men are better than women. And they are saying to "grab that pussy!".

I've attached a screenshot.

But we already know what Trump is like. He’s been president before, America didn’t implode, in fact they’ve voted him back in again, with a bigger majority. They think they were worse off under the democrats.

They prefer him to the woke, weak left, where they are financially worse off.

If someone has a different opinion to you, that doesn’t make you right.

Trump just cannot resist flattery. All any autocratic leader/despot has to do is tell him how great he is and he will be putty in their hands. He's also a blackmail risk due to his behaviour in the past. I'm sure Putin has come kompromat on him.

He will support Netanyahu unconditionally and will support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank. He may go to war with Iran, it depends on who is advising him. He is clueless about world affairs. He bases US foreign relations on whether the leaders of other countries have been nice to him or not.

He will de-fund Ukraine and try and persuade Zelensky to surrender the land that Russian has already captured.

I wish that the impacts of his presidency only affected the people who voted for him but unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

Do you remember when he imposed all the travel bans
