Trump told a female reporter this. How come this behaviour is accepted but if it was former president Obama, people would have lost their mind. Obama had to practically be ‘perfect’. When Obama wore a tan suit, it was such a huge deal.

Racism is a sick illness.

No Obama wasn’t on the list. But I think it’s a a good example of bots pushing false information to destabilise government.

Also, see ‘pizzagate’ and the pizza restaurant basement child abuse conspiracy is another example of a completely fictitious rumour flooding the MAGA heavy sites of the internet.

Pizzagate. It’s an old article but still interesting reading

I assume you have evidence of Obama being on 'the list'?

"Quiet. Quiet, piggy."

Vile words to a (female) journalist simply doing their job .. spoken by an alleged 'World leader'... in full view, ultimately, of the rest of the world Would he have been so disrespectful if the journalist had been male? Possibly - that man has absolutely no saving graces and every time he opens his mouth, we are assured even further of his fragile mental state and his complete lack of finesse.

What shocked me even more was that none of the assembled journalists on Air Force One appeared to defend their colleague, either at the time or afterwards ... equally shameful behaviour.

I'm sick of American politicians saying there's no free speech in the UK.
The dept of war only allowing pre approved articles.
The White house press office more of the same ,any awkward questions and it's ridicule and banned from the press office.
America land of the free...aye right.

Inside information. Otherwise known as facts. And fact based conclusions.

Fine me one, just one, one, even semi-reputable source of information that Obama is on a list. One, is all I'm asking for.

If you have all the facts and only believe in your own sources, any source I quote won't satisfy you. There's loads on the internet. You'll call them disreputable. I will bow to your superior 'knowledge' and information that's been factchecked, because mine, I'm glad to say, hasn't, and it hasn't been verified by the Beeb.

Let's wait for the wait for the list to be released, shall we. Or we'll be going around in circles and we may both have to call one one one.

Except for the edit, that program was factual and balanced.

Unlike the list that includes Obama

So, it wasn't factual or balanced then. It was a rather big edit, don't you think. Worth a couple of billion pounds some people are saying.

The debate is happening in Parliament right now if you are interested.

Why don't you try me? I'm intelligent and literate. I believe in checking sources and assessing credibility. Give me something to have a look at.

What I don't understand is why, Trump, who despises Obama more than he loves anything other than money, and literally has the power to release anything he wants at any time, dragging his feet? Why isn't that list out there? Why aren't at least the items that implicate Obama out there? The Republicans just released a veritable avalanche of emails, Trump's in them, Obama's not.

Why are they withholding this information?

Trump is a see you next Tuesday. Nothing more nothing less, anyone defending him is exactly the same.

NoKidsSendDogs · 27/11/2025 01:15

He's a corrupt pedophile. People really shouldn't be expecting anything but bottom of the barrel from him.

AlexStocks · 28/11/2025 12:51

I am here in the states and people just roll their eyes at Trump. I truly believe that voting machines were tampered with...or people just hate Kamala that much (female and of color may just be too much for some..??) Regardless, even my mother who voted for him are eating crow. He's screwed farmers, he's withdrawing food programs that feed children and poor people, he kills people off the Venezuelan coast willy nilly, food prices for everyone are going up, and i haven't even gotten to democracy yet. Calling someone piggy is the least of our problems. He's a pos.

esem · 28/11/2025 15:59

Totally agree with everything you have said. It gives me some comfort that other people can see the truth through all the hype and lies
Lets all hope it will end soon

RedTagAlan · 28/11/2025 16:30

And now it's " Are you stupid ?"

The DC shooter suspect, an Afghan was granted asylum under Trumps term.

But Trump has blamed Biden

A reporter, female, asked him why is it Bidens fault when it was your admin that granted the suspect asylum,

"Because they let them in. Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?

Because they came into on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn’t be here, and you’re just asking questions because you’re a stupid person."

Trump lays into another female reporter and asks 'are you a stupid person?' | News World | Metro News

He reminds me of playing monopoly with DD and her cousin, when they were 9.

Rules ? wot rules, we are inventing a new game.

But I don't think has even gotten to the 9 year old playing monopoly stage yet :-)

Trump lays into another female reporter and asks 'are you a stupid person?'

The 79-year-old was challenged over a statement from the Department of Justice which contradicted his claims about Afghan evacuees.

I've never seen a Monopoly game where you can become rich by bankrupting casinos.

DdraigGoch · 28/11/2025 19:36

Mind you, the original Monopoly was based upon Atlantic City, which is where Trump had (past tense because they went bust) several casinos.
