Trump is an absolute twat.

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.

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.

I was responding to a specific point:

At least we don't have an estimated 393,000,000 guns kicking about and all that entails.. School Shootings on a weekly basis

ETA: Also still waiting for an answer to a question I asked on page one of this thread. But the OP must be busy.

It’s getting to the point where he might just be the biggest threat to the safety of the rest of the world, not Russia or China or anyone else

Really? How?

Get NATO to pay attention, oh indeed. Pay attention to the fact that a once powerful
ally is now potentially as much of a threat as the ‘enemies’ they were supposed to be worrying about.
I would LOVE to know what Putin has on Trump.

Strings and he's pulling them.

While I dont doubt he has bits and pieces on Trump, his best weapon is Trump's weak mind and massive ego. Trump is easily manipulated by him. Remember the pledge to end the war in Ukraine on day ? Why do you think Trump made such a ridiculous claim? Putin told him.🤷‍♀️

The MAGA idiots are also easily manipulated and paid for by Russia.

Putin owns Trump. Trump is the POTUS. Putin owns the US now.

@momtoboys I’m not too sure about that - it kind of works differently there unless you have an election period - you don’t have a leader of the opposition as such in the way we do here - just presidential candidates -

What is wrong with them?

Maybe they think that the OP is unreasonable to have only just noticed this! The sad thing is that were he able to run for a third term, or indeed if he manages to manipulate the rules to do so, he would still be elected, he's not alone in how he thinks. Among a large part of the electorate he's very popular because their minds don't extend beyond their own shores.

Hahah. I came on MN to start a thread about how annoyed I am about Trump's nonsense around autism. Then saw this thread 😆

I think it’s important not to automatically jump to “it’s bots.” Because by assuming that everyone thinks the way we do we run the risk of his popularity creeping in unseen and unchallenged.

The fact is that he des have supporters. Millions of them. Fuck knows why, but he does. Enough to have won an election, and there are plenty of states you can go to in the US where the support for and love of trump is overwhelming.

We need to be very aware of that rather than just dismissing the support as “it’s bots.” Because some of it absolutely is real.

Enough to have won an election
That's debatable. There were some suspicious voting patterns, almost as if Elon has been tinkering with the machines.

Again, less about what Presidents have or haven’t managed to sort over the years and more about THIS president having the fucking brass neck to lecture other countries at the UN about their ‘failings’ while the
US is in such a state.
he was more bothered about an ESCALATOR not working properly than seemingly anything else. An absolute embarrassment to the USA.

Maybe the ones that disagree with him being a twat think he’s a cunt?

He lacks the warmth or the depth for either.

lemmein · 23/09/2025 20:50

I hate him even more today after trying to prepay these stupid tariffs for a customers order which took over an hour and 2 calls to the couriers customer services 😡

I realise the man has done far worse but today this is mainly why I hate him - prick!

Crikeyalmighty · 23/09/2025 20:54

@itsAforapple exactly - whilst the gun issue is in my opinion a failing on all sides, it’s complicated by how their political system works -

i cannot imagine a single Democrat president going around slagging off other country’s, acting like their shit doesn’t stink, coming out with unsubstantiated medical toss, constantly bigging themselves up

maybe Obama and Biden should just have gone about issuing totally undemocratic ‘executive orders’ - and banned certain types of guns.

Crikeyalmighty · 23/09/2025 20:55

@DdraigGoch sadly I do think he won in this instance

What are you fools talking about - he's not only discovered the cause of Autism, he's also worked out a cure!
OK, so he's not a doctor but he's very good in the you know what.

haha how could we forget! His medical genius was first established when he suggested we all drink bleach to avoid catching Covid I believe.

That we have Sharia law in London?
Don't be silly.

🤣 Did I say London? I believe I said our country.

This thread shows how much people have their heads in the sand!

No, that’s what Trump said. You’re accusing other people of having their heads in the sand, but you’re unaware of the fact that he’s literally said this today.

You have just left California….of course they all hate him. Its very liberal and leftie in california! Its like londeners love Labour and two tier keir.

And yet they also want Sharia law 🤷‍♀️

Tigger1895 · 23/09/2025 21:01

I think he’s an absolute idiot and an embarrassment to the country, however, I believe his administration is the dangerous ones.

Cornishclio · 23/09/2025 21:02

Yes he is a twat but unpredictable with a lot of power which is why he even gets airtime. The US have voted in a madman and unfortunately the rest of the world are humouring him because the consequences of ridiculing him as we should could be catastrophic. We live in crazy times.

Thank you for helping me make my point, which was, that many Americans do not love Trump.

So, please enlighten me. Where in England do we operate under Sharia Law?

He's a massive egomaniac always trying to compensate for his below average IQ and penis size.

Dear God.

Disagree if you wish - but it would be appreciated if you would actually write something engaging rather than dismissive.

I assumed this post was in respect to Trumps latest statement regarding paracetamol in pregnancy causing autism and also referencing a drug treatment.

I’ve basically said you can’t trust the government. If you disagree then I would be interstate in why you disagree.

Hereforthecommentz · 23/09/2025 19:16

The guns and the school shootings aren't a trump thing, that's been the case for donkeys years. Yes in other respects he's a knob. I would say though hes definitely not the worst president, Bush Jr took the US into Iraq war under false pretence and messed up the middle East. Trump as far as I'm aware has not started any wars so it's a bit insane to say he's the worst president and I'm not a fan.

Trump as far as I'm aware has not started any wars

He's been busy bombing Venezuelans so anything is possible. He's also been threatening to invade both Canada and Greenland.

I would love to know what his supporters think his endgame is.
