Outrageous comments from best friend:s DP

I'm shocked and don't know what to say.
My friend of thirty plus years moved in with a new partner last year.
She had few options due to three divorces and very few savings.
I've met the chap once, he seemed OK but over handy for my liking. Both her adult daughters have said they don't like him. I thought it was an age and class thing (he's 27 years younger).
It turns out he is an admirer of Hitler and Trump.
I said to my friend well he won't be invited to dinner here. He apparently made the statements at a family party last week. The daughters quite rightly walked out. I'm disabled, my husband not white. My uncles POW. I can't believe she's with him. She was very lonely. Aibu to be shocked or none of my business?

So why does she need him then if she's rich?

So she can say she has a partner? For the company?

but I suspect mainly for the sex!

Sorry, I have NO idea where the dog came from, and if I go into 'edit' it's not there so I can't remove it.

Not the impression I was trying to create.

🤣🤣🤣

This is one my fav threads in a long time. Sorry for the OP for the derailment but it's been great.

Side note don't think I could socialise with someone who shares a bed with a hitler trump fan boy. I mean trumps bad but throw hitler as well into the mix. No thanks .

JustSawJohnny · 06/03/2025 21:45

Yeah, I'm not sure I could maintain that friendship.

I cannot imagine ever being desperate enough to shag a bloke who has Hitler sympathies.

Her poor kids.

Can't she go back to work if she's skint ?
Why can't she be single ?

Why can’t she beagle?

MissFancyDay · 06/03/2025 21:46

I'm sorry, is it a thing now to minimise what Hitler did to the Jews and other ethnicities in WW2?

Trump is a very, very bad, even evil, man, but to put him on the same level as Hitler is ignorant.

JustSawJohnny · 06/03/2025 21:47

As an aside, I can't believe nearly a 5th of people think OP is BU.

Are there that many right-wing shitbags out there that would accept that?!!

Or do they just hate dogs?

It turns out he is an admirer of Hitler and Trump.

Of course he is 🙄

Why the rolly eyes? Has it escaped your attention that there’s quite a lot of it about these days?

I’d have nothing to do with him either, OP.

ZorbaTheHoarder · 06/03/2025 21:29

Deluded

Not really.
im not a complete lover of Trump but he has some very valid points that some people agree with, such as his opposition to woke culture, putting pressure onto NATO to increase their defence spending, his pro business policies. Yes he does say some controversial things but he speaks his mind which is poignant in this world. There is such a freedom of speech and to say someone is wrong for listening to opposing views is narrow minded.
I think we can all agree though that liking Hitler is not acceptable though.
OP unless you are best friends and there are other reasons you dislike the guy that are not politically related then I dont think you have a reasonable opinion to point out to your friend.

The rolly eyes are because I think the thread is 🐶 💩
Fan of Trump I can believe but OP jumped the dog shark with Hitler.

Does he play football in a Sunday League and been banned from the local pub?

Thought that troll had been zapped.

TunipTheVegimal24 · 06/03/2025 22:00

Your friend sounds like a bit of a weirdo, sorry OP. You clearly love her, after 30 years of friendship though. Hopefully she'll ditch this one off after not too long, and he'll just be an embarrassing memory.

After 30 years of friendship (and a relationship lasting longer than any of her previous husbands, presumably?), I'd have a word if it were me. Maybe she's having some sort of breakdown? Whether you do or not, there's no way I'd be having anything to do with him. All you can do really, is be honest and say you're happy to see her, but want no relationship with him. Hopefully she'll understand. But if not, there's not much you can do except let her end the friendship. You can hardly sit around with him, discussing the merits of the third reich over Sunday roast 🤷‍♀️ .

Agree. Its some years now but I remember being shocked at the photos of nazi symbols on various war machines from the original conflict between Ukraine and Russia. I had no idea they held such anti semitic beliefs Sad. I hope and pray that Donald Trump brokers a peace deal asap. There has been enough killing.

Sadly, there are many who suffer from TDS who still insist that DT is literally Hitler Hmm.
