I can't see why Trump would have held a rally so that his words would go direct to people, because of course only a tiny proportion of people would be there. What worries me is that it actually helps his critics, who can and do now say he's in this for the sort of response he gets from rallies and that he's out of his depth when it comes to doing the job.

He is not bothered by critics though, neither are his team or supporters. Everyone knows its all noise.

InformalRoman · 19/02/2017 19:09

Continual discrediting of the free press serves his ends though - so when unsavoury details of his and his team's actions are exposed his supporters will automatically disbelieve them.

In fact, I was inspired to look up what Gorgeous George has had to say recently on the matter of Brexit, and came across this from Jan:

(The left's eurosceptic reasoning is laid out quite well here - long, sorry....):

Question:
UK progressives were generally horrified by the win for the Brexit side because there were certainly racist and xenophobic forces emboldened by it. You, however, made a left-wing case for Brexit. Could you outline what that was?^

George Galloway:^
^I reject your premise. Britain's communists, Trotskyists and left-wing trades unionists campaigned for a Leave vote as did the left's only daily newspaper the Morning Star.
I think you mean liberal rather than progressive.
It is true that some who might have preferred to do otherwise were by circumstances obliged to argue for a Remain vote. People like Jeremy Corbyn with whom I opposed the EU in the British parliament for nearly 30 years, and some of the major union leaders.
Most importantly the British working class voted leave. The vast majority of constituencies with Labour MPs voted Leave. The majority of the low paid voted leave.
There is nothing progressive about the EU as we said in 1975 in our “No” vote campaign under the leadership of Tony Benn, the greatest progressive leader we've ever had in Britain.
The EU has nothing to do with internationalism nor with anti-racism as those suffering the lash of racism and islamophobia in mainland Europe know. And those sinking in the Mediterranean trying and failing to enter Fortress Europe know.
It is nothing to do with peace either, as the people of Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Iraq, Libya Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Mali and others know. The EU is the political wing of NATO.^
It has nothing to do with workers’ rights and economic justice, either, as the people of Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland know. The EU is an anti-democratic bankers ramp whose neo-liberal austerity agenda has beggared Europe whilst imposing as economic orthodoxy the "principles" of globalization and the strangling of the idea of democratic control by people and peoples of their own lives.

It is being rejected everywhere in Europe and will soon be gone. People will not accept being ruled by those they did not elect and cannot remove. This is the spirit of our age.

Fabulous picture of Blair. I love it. I don't know much about George beyond cat leotard gate which put me off for life. However great argument he put forward there. Some interesting stuff I had not considered.

surferjet · 19/02/2017 22:35

Just love George Galloway.
& that picture of Blair is spot on - I'd laugh only it's not a joke, it's too true.

That picture of Bliar should be front page of the papers. Definitely dart board though. Has it been posted on the WM thread? They would love it I'm sure😀😀

This looks very dangerous. It appears that Europe's RoP has finally 'turned' Useful Idiots of the Left to their cause. Norway is boycotting all things Jewish.

SCANDINAVIA: THE WEST'S CITADEL OF ANTI-SEMITISM
by Giulio Meotti • February 17, 2017

 Hate for Israel has become a real obsession in Scandinavia, which revived the glorious partnership between the liberal "useful idiots" the ones concerned about equality and minorities and the Islamists, the ones concerned about submission and killing "infidels".

 Despite the fact that Jews in Norway are only 0.003 percent of the total population, Oslo is now world's capital of European anti-Semitism. Norwegian newspapers are full of classic anti-Semitic tropes.

 A festival in Oslo also rejected a documentary, "The Other Dreamers," about the lives of disabled children, simply because it was Israeli. "We support the academic and cultural boycott of Israel," wrote Ketil Magnussen, the founder of the festival.

 The same racism exists in Sweden. Dagens Nyheter, the most sophisticated Swedish newspaper, published a violent anti-Semitic op-ed entitled, "It is allowed to hate the Jews".

 Does Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallström really mean that to defeat Islamic aggression, Israel must surrender? The Palestinians' situation is indeed desperate, but as they have had full autonomy for decades, their desperate situation is caused by their own corrupt leaders who appear deliberately to keep their people in misery try to blame it on Israel, in the same way that people maim children to make them "better" beggars.

 The Nazi daily Der Stürmer could not have drawn it better.
On January 12, the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published an article about Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and his senior adviser: "The Jew Kushner reportedly pushed for David M. Friedman as the new ambassador to Israel", Aftenposten wrote. The newspaper had later to apologize for calling Kushner "the Jew".

A few weeks earlier, the city council of Trondheim, Norway's third-largest city, passed a motion calling on its residents to boycott Israeli goods -- a city aspiring to be "Israel-free". Then it was the turn of another Norwegian city, Tromso, population 72,000, whose city council approved a similar motion. More than 40% of Norwegians are already boycotting Israeli products or are in favor of doing so, according to a poll.

Blimey. It's like when the much loved George Galloway declared Bradford an Israel-free zone, isn't it.

InformalRoman · 20/02/2017 11:07

It's Gatestone Institute. Says it all really (unlike the article).

Trondheim and Tromso are boycotting Israeli goods and services from the Jewish settlements in illegally occupied Palestinian Territories.
