Trump is an absolute twat.

[itsAforapple]

YANBU - he’s an absolute knob. The state the USA is in right now and he’s trying to lecture the rest of the world!

YABU - he’s not a twat.

YES!

I assume you're not from 'Londen' then if you can't spell it!

Sorry to be pedantic but are they not one and the same?
Either way, he’s clearly deranged.
I did wonder whether Melania had called ahead to arrange the escalator breakdown …

San Fran shocked me with its homelessness issue.

@WeaselCheeks100% totally agree - I do partly have to blame the democrats though - quite clearly Biden ( who seemed a very steady amiable and intelligent guy -an old fashioned diplomat with class) was not well or up to it anymore , so they ended up substituting last minute with Harris who in my opinion was a very poor speaker going on about peace and joy all the time - now I’m no right winger , but that won’t cut it outside of very very particular areas and demographics in a country with major issues socially and economically . They had far more able candidates who I think could have cut through and done us all a favour , but blew it by dilly dallying .

He knows he can't be booted out if he's a wartime president. That's the only way he's going to stay where he is.

More like rubbing their hands in glee that Trump is reneging on all the old agreements between western nations at such a speed that other NATO are left scrambling and vulnerable. We absolutely need to get shot if the US asap and defend our own borders ( and be free of their debt) but it takes time to build warships, and armies, and all the rest.

He’s an utter twat.

if he were not so old I would be hugely concerned he would try to become a dictator. I think maybe he will try anyway but thank fuck he won’t live long enough to create Nazi type reign. I don’t know enough about his cabinet or American politics to know if I should be concerned the movement will continue without him.

i have a love of history. I think it’s shocking we can’t see the pattern repeating. It’s not just Nazi power that started with similar tactics and patterns the whole world should be concerned

Quit the whataboutery @LaurelBush

This. London is statistically significantly safer than New York.

This is the last term he can do I believe.

Looking to the example of his buddy Netanyahu, possibly?
Scumbags, both.

I so agree - same is true here with Farage - rather than study the policies and whether it actually check out whether it makes sense rather than being written on the back of a fag packet or looking at the weirdos also involved , they think ‘he likes a pint, hates foreigners, ( unless they are rich) , quite happy to scam people, says what he thinks - I’m like that too’

San Francisco unfortunately has been like that for 10+ years, but the other cities, it just wasn’t as bad. As a European there’s something really unsettling and upsetting about seeing people
in such need of help, medical and the rest, and distress in the richest country in the world just being left in the streets. And yes, it’s frightening too because seeing people off their faces and unpredictable is frightening .

Unless the country is at war and he can declare a state of emergency and cancel the next election, I think. But I might be wrong about that.

Sure, until he decides to ride roughshod over that. Supported by his horned helmet wearing loons.

Not really. If you criticise a Republican president for not changing firearm laws, you've really got to look at what Democrat presidents did about them.

There is a precedent for a 3rd term, and I have no doubt that the MAGA team behind Trump will be thinking about every way to justify having that 3rd term due to ‘extraordinary’ circumstances.

could you clarify, “off their faces and unpredictable”.

Who do you mean? …….

Clinton banned assault rifles

For 10 years. And it didn't ban ones that were already in existence.

But you’re doing everything you can avoid the topic at hand, which is what Trump has said and done, and why these things may be cause for grave concern. If you want to make a thread about the failings of US Democratic Presidents over the years, go ahead.

And the scary thing is that the democrats have no reasonable leading contender to run against him next election cycle. If they did they would be pushing that person out in front of every camera they can.

I remember that in NYC. Riding the subway in the early hours and the amount of elderly homeless riding the train to keep warm.

I was struck by how different that was to anything I had experienced in any Western European country I had been to.
Since homelessness in the UK seems to have spiked but nothing like what I saw back then.

Rubbish. The average working man and woman is head and shoulders above Trump (and Farage) in terms of empathy and understanding.
