Bit of a boring one I guess. I'm gonna get the snacks in for me and dd as the coverage starts at 3.30/4pm (UK obs)

I love to watch stuff like this, makes me feel connected to the world 😅🙈

Plus I wanna see if anyone slips up and let's their face show their real thoughts

Plus I'll be making comparisons between barron and Gary barlow's giant son

No, I don't celebrate rapists.

TabithaWilliams · 20/01/2025 14:42

Absolutely not. I have no need to feel connected to either Trump or Vance.

MrsTerryPratchett · 20/01/2025 14:43

God no. It'll give him the impression that the world likes him if the viewing figures are high. Odious arsehole.

Whoarethoseguys · 20/01/2025 14:44

No seeing Trump become president again is the last thing I would watch. I'm avoiding it completely

BarbaraHoward · 20/01/2025 14:44

I'll put it on in the background while I work until about 5:15. Won't be subjecting the kids to it though once they're home.

My 6yo still believes that the people in the government must be wonderful and want to help everyone. Will leave her with that notion for a while yet.

This. I am switching off radio, TV, news etc
About to stream a drama that's completely different

SallyWD · 20/01/2025 14:45

No, it just makes me feel depressed.

MidnightBloom · 20/01/2025 14:45

Thanks op, I came looking for a thread about watching today. I will be watching because, I always try to watch importantly events. One day today will be history.

JobMatch3000 · 20/01/2025 14:46

Only to see what Melania is wearing / which designer dressed her.

Horrace · 20/01/2025 14:46

Absolutely. I shall be watching. I always watch it, regardless of who gets in.
I find the Americans utterly bonkers and so over the top.

I'm not sure I even notice when we get a new PM. We've had so many in recent years I forget who's in.

Plus, I want to see what Melania is wearing 🤣

Parratha · 20/01/2025 14:48

Yes I will. So glad to get rid of the women-hating, children mutilating Dems. I didn't feel this way the last time but I do think Trump is badly needed now.

AlwaysLookOnTheSnarkSide · 20/01/2025 14:48

So do all the Trump kids (and grandkids?) get secret service protection immediately afterwards. Or is it only the under 18s? So Barron?

TheLastLady · 20/01/2025 14:50

would rather shave my eyeballs

StrawberryWater · 20/01/2025 14:50

Nope.

As I said in the other thread: I'd rather shit in my own hands and clap.

The man is a terrible human being and doesn't deserve any kind of attention, curious watching or otherwise.

TheCompactPussycat · 20/01/2025 14:50

No.

To gain a man who admitted sexual assault?

Rather Hobson's choice, isn't it?

I mean I don't like the Democrats very much but Trump isn't 'needed'. A bloody adult is, but not Trump.

Adelstrop · 20/01/2025 14:57

No, I don't like horror as a genre.

Saw some pics on the BBC website. Right now she looks like she's about to do some Olympic show jumping.

SharpOpalNewt · 20/01/2025 15:00

Hell no.

EveryKneeShallBow · 20/01/2025 15:01

Nope. 👎

Well in all of America there was only the choice of Trump or Kamala.

The Democrats aided and abetted sexual assault by allowing men entry to call themselves women and have access to women's spaces and women's bodies. They've aided and abetted the mutilation of children in the name of gender ideology.

VeryQuaintIrene · 20/01/2025 15:03

Hell to the no.

BeeCucumber · 20/01/2025 15:03

Nope - no interest. The UK should stream it on-line only. I’m missing The Chase today and I’m not happy.

AgnesX · 20/01/2025 15:03

Nope, the news outlets will show more than enough of it.

Probably to the extent that the rest of the world would appear not to exist.

I will be avoiding the news for the next 4 yrs or however long he lasts as president.
