With a conclusion such as that I’m guessing you are trying to avoid imminent tariffs or annexation, so the best strategy is to dive head first into that huge orange ass of his?

Probably not as bad as the TDS lot think or as good as the MAGA disciples believe. If we get through 4 years with no apocalypse that's a good result.

I agree. It is a damning indictment of the political system if he is the best there is. It is also damning indictment of the political system if he isn’t the best there is.

I never understand how the average working person thinks that a business man, with multiple bankruptcies to his name, an appalling attitude to women and a complete disregard to the stability of the world, is going to make their world better?

"We Love Trump

MAGA "

Wrong question. It's like saying "syphilis, love it or hate it", or "tsunamis, love them or hate them".

Trump is more like a phenomenon - he exists, you have to just... Deal with him. Some people made great money out of COVID, some people got to get off on wearing masks and telling others to wear masks, some people lost close relatives. It's more a matter of how you deal with the phenomenon than whether or not one likes it.

We don't know him, he seems to be a nasty chap to anyone he does business with, marries or shares oxygen with. Perhaps that's just media, we have no idea. Just because he's a despotic bully doesn't mean that everything he does is bad, and some long-term good will come from things that appear bad in the short term - perhaps the US will rethink how they run elections, perhaps brittle and vulnerable institutions will be strengthened. Even now, Europe is waking up to the fact that it needs to be more self-sufficient - that's a good outcome from a nasty set of circumstances. It's not tough love, since there is no love, but perhaps tough by itself is enough to drive positive change.

The USA is likely to lose out in the long run, as it becomes slowly sidelined if what Trump has started continues.

So neither love nor hate. Definitely a general feeling of antipathy, though.

The GOP was revealed to be too emasculated to stand up to a bully.

The democrats failed over and over and over to field someone electable - their only saving grace was "not Trump" and even then couldn't cope with the anger of the electorate. The two main parties over there failed miserably. A viable third party on the centre (hugely unlikely) would be amazing.

TL;DR: GOP cowardice and Democrat incompetence.

Exactly. The Dems twice put up very unpopular candidates against Trump (one of them, KH, also of low competence) when an Obama or a Clinton would have destroyed him. Also the political and media refusal to acknowledge Biden's obvious and serious cognitive decline was a disaster for them.

He's a self confessed sexual predator. Even if nothing else that's reported about him is true, there is no denying that. Anyone who thinks such a person is anything other than scum needs their head (and quite probably hard drive) looking at.

Beyond that, unless it's an act, he is incompetent, unstable, childish, unbelievably thick and a nasty bullying thug.

Incompetent - the number of times he had been taken to court for his business dealings, the bankruptcies and losses, the law suits and convictions all prove this. No successful person goes through live with such a trail.

Unstable - throwing a tantrum about Greenland then trying to hide it behind the facade of security concerns shows this.

Childish - the wording of his recent letter "you didn't give me the Nobel prize so now I'm going to sulk, anyway, who says it's your game? I want to play and if you don't let me .... Blah blah blah - oh, and the fact he said there was'no piece of paper' despite the existence of a US signed treaty is another sign of either good incompetence or being unbelievably thick.

Unbelievably thick - take your pick. His rambling story about sharks, his complete lack of understanding of what habeus corpus means, every time he opens his mouth virtually there's something he says that a 12 year old would know better.

Nasty bullying thug? Just listen to the way he talks to reporters "quiet piggy" FFS. I don't hate him, I do believe he should be locked up. What I hate is the amount of people whoo exist that are so fucking dumb and without any justifiable moral compass who are prepared to not just defend but practically worship such an obvious lump of shit.

To the person above who believes he's giving his voters what they wanted, maybe check his election promises. Sure he's deporting lots of people but he isn't doing what he promised and going after the criminals, any he rounds up are by luck more than judgement. Lots of people voted for criminals to be deported, not so many for their cheap labour to go. He promised not to meddle in other countries and focus on making America great (he's made America a place less and less people want to go to, trade with, trust, or invest in). He promised to end the war in Ukraine in a day

. He really hasn't given people what they voted for, his dumb fuck disciples just believe that everything he does is what they have always wanted.

He is not a great business man; had he put his inherited fortune in a bank, he would have a great fortune than he has now. He has a long string of business failures and bankrupcies behind him. His one great deal was arranging a tax break for investing in New York in the late 70's

Disagree, many people were commenting on Biden, on here, media and even Trump himself all ripping into Biden.

Which is a sad state of affairs that people think it's ok to take the piss out of someone who has a degenerative condition.

Going back to Trump, I can't see how a man of his age can keep going he seems to be a total workaholic and is going to burn himself out sooner rather than later.

I think a 30 year old would struggle to keep up with him.

The thought of President Vance sends a cold shiver down my spine.

No one on here was saying oh its OK, because he's a Democrat it was a bloody heck this bloke is the most powerful man on the planet in majy ways and hes struggling, it was clearly the signs that many of us have sadly lived through with loved ones..

Some of the language used against him was deplorable and sad but to be expected as it will be with his replacement if the same level of deterioration are witnessed..

What is crazy is your ability to completely misremember things that only happened a few years back. Biden's cognitive ability was widely discussed everywhere from social to national and international media. Google BBC Biden Dementia then BBC Trump dementia and see which of the two men was subject to the most scrutiny over their mental health.

Comments like this say an awful lot about your position - mostly that you bolster your beliefs with imagination rather than fact, that feelings of being under attack outweigh any incentive to understand reality.

I could go on, there's pages of them. The claim I responded to that 'everyone was silent on Bidem's cognitive ability' is demonstrably complete and utter fabricated nonsense. I didn't say that no one defended him, I didn't say there was no push back against the claims. I stated that there absolutely was not a deafening silence around his mental health, it was widely discussed all around the world and in far more detail than had so far been seen surrounding DT. I accept this is changing as more evidence emerges of the orange twat falling asleep in public and saying clearly deranged things.

I was neither for or against Trump, until this last 4 weeks which saw him and his administration sign off on a military intervention in a foreign country that removed the leader. That was shaky to say the least, but to then puff out the chest with intent towards Greenland was clearly an ego driven threat and riding the wave of that military intervention. When the tables were turned with a simple joint low key military exercise the tantrums started.

It was at this point, I knew he needed to go.

Politicians are power hungry at the end of the day, irrespective of whether they are left or right. If Trump's popularity takes a beating, the rest of the Republicans will definitely want to start the conversation about toppling him. They would at least want some damage control before the next elections. And there lies the opportunity for Vance.

His comments about the USA and Denmark in ww2 are inaccurate but stretching it factual factual course the states entry into the war played a huge part..

His post 911 remarks are fucking offensive given the assistance and the lives lost from all the other countries in Afghanistan..

Then again he is the 'man' who had bone spurs who once slagged off John McCain who spent time as a pow in Vietnam..

Repulsive to say what he did today..

Not sure about that. Whoever wants to do the coup will want to wait for the end of 2 years of the term for it to not count to the maximum of 2 terms as the President.

After watching the deranged one at Davos there is no doubt he is rubber room bound. Lies upon exaggerations and total lack of understanding of global interactions. Grandstanding for the clowns back home who still think he is the divine one handpicked by the Almighty. Sad, laughable, scary but not unexpected.

But hey facts n shit. I know you lot hate facts

I love facts. Why don't you tell us what symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia Trump is displaying, and how they differ from the age related cognitive degeneration that Biden was displaying?

Trump is showing all of these symptoms.

Tactlessness, impulsive comments, increased aggression, or loss of inhibition.

Compulsive Behaviors

Poor Judgment & Planning

Difficulty understanding consequences.

Reduced Empathy

Difficulty Speaking: Slow speech, trouble forming words

Word Finding Difficulties: Forgetting common words, using wrong words, or struggling to describe things.

Movement Issues: Slow movement, stiffness, balance problems, falls, or muscle weakness.

Bladder/Bowel Control Loss

Biden showed some onset age related issues.

Trump has great entertainment value , Certainly knows how to land the big punches with his comments .

His speech spelt out how the UK and Europe has ponced of the US for decades .

Hopefully now Nato can move on an agree to providing more funding and troops to the cause .

He certainly ruffles feathers with online social media users and brings out the worse in his opponents who attack the Man rather than discuss the weaknesses of the arguments he makes ..

So yes I like him for his brash no nonsense views but have some strong reservations about most of them, Particularly Trumps threats to invade Greenland .

The US has always used the NATO Alliance as a cash cow for the US Defence Industry. The have actively and deliberately planned and implemented the destruction of the European and Canadian defence industries. US Defence contractors have also historically conducted corrupt procurement deals with NATO members to secure contracts when European alternatives were available. The strategy was ostensibly to introduce "standardisation" across NATO but in reality was to reduce/limit European defence capability and enforce reliance on US supplied weaponry whilst massively benefitting the US military industrial complex. Europeans have been slow in recognising this dependence because of the mistaken assumption that US interests aligned with their own. It is now obvious that this is not what the US think. It has taken this latest crisis to make the rest of Europe and Canada realise that a more active role needs to be taken. It may take time but it will probably be worth becoming more independent.

Blame US all you want. But this is some ridiculous mental gymnastics to blame them for the failure of the European politicians who chose to fund their welfare systems over improving their defense. If Europe indulged in "corrupt procurement deals", the blame still lies with them.

Merkel went to bed with Putin and chose to build gas pipelines to Russia, paying them in billions, literally funding their invasion of Ukraine and also making Europe reliant on that energy.

European politicians screwed up big time here because of their naive idealist view of the world, thinking that Europe is safe from attacks. No point in blaming the US for that.

Lockheed Bribery Scandals (1970s): During the "Deal of the Century" in the 1960s-70s, Lockheed bribed officials in multiple European countries—including Italy—to select the F-104 Starfighter over alternatives. This, along with other decisions, led to a reduced market for British-designed interceptors, such as the English Electric Lightning.

It's crazy how everyone was silent on Bidens cognitive ability then become suddenly experts when trumps in office...

No not at all.. it was widely discussed and widely reported by certain aspects of the media and certain sections of society.

The point I am making is that people with very biased political views are very quick to start questioning trumps mental ability when they likely never went to the effort to discuss bidens.

Looks like it hit a nerve with some..

I love the way people back pedal so violently but their cognitive dissonance is so ingrained they don't notice it.

Here is what was first said.

'It's crazy how EVERYONE was silent on Bidens cognitive ability...'

Now, having been caught out talking nonsense it has become

'People with very biased political views are very quick to start questioning trumps mental ability when they likely never went to the effort to discuss bidens.'

So, we have dropped the bar from 'everyone' to 'people with very biased political opinions' and gone from a statement of fact 'everyone 'was' silent to mere conjecture 'they 'likely' never went ...

I repeat what I said then (with added emphasis) comments like this say an awful lot about your position - mostly that you bolster your beliefs with *imagination* rather than fact, that *feelings of being under attack* outweigh any incentive to understand reality.

Is it likely that a minority of people would have defended Biden against any criticism but will not hear a good word about Trump? Yeah, probably. Is there a problem as was stated in the first post that the issues with Bidens health were ignored by everyone and everyone is now talking about Trump's health? Not at all, as can clearly be found from a little bit of Googling, Biden's health was a world wide topic for years, conversations around Trumps mental health are only just beginning to gain traction.

It is of course worth pointing out that Biden, in his most impaired moments didn't promote the idea of invading an ally while Trump has. Given the huge impact of Trump's behavior, establishing whether there is an issue with his cognitive functions becomes a matter for world safety, not simply a way of scoring political points but hey, that's just my opinion.

A corporation bribed the government to favour them. You can't blame the American government for that. This kind of bribery happens across the board with corporations from different countries bribing different governments.

Not to mention the fact that it happened like 5 decades back and it was the European politicians who fucked up here too.

Europe's weak defense is entirely down to the incompetence and stupidity of the European politicians. There is no point in shifting partial blame on US or anyone else for that matter. No one put a gun to the head of these politicians to force the things they did. The choices were made by them out of their own will.

US Policy in the 1950-60s was to reduce competition with US Defence contractors by pressurising European and Canadian companies to cancel ongoing military projects. Predident Eisenhower even warned that the US Military Industrial complex was becoming too poweful.

Avro Canada was maneuvered into cancelling the Arrow fighter - a very advanced aircraft which would have been a world beater. They were offered instead second rate Voodoo fighters and unsuitable Bomarc missiles. The British similarly had numerous projects affected most famously the TSR 2. Intense pressure was also placed on Germany to cancel the Leopard tank programme and Mirage fighter project in France. Luckily they failed.

When the US provided military equipment under the MDAP programme it was US built which helped their industry with lowering unit production cost which benefitted the US economy. Additionally the client states were tied in to long term and increasingly expensive support packages.

Many current buyers of US equipment particularly the F-35 are worried that they might be fitted with a "kill switch" which allows the US to disable these aircraft at the push of a button. This is part of the reasoning why Canada has rejected the F-35 in favour of a European solution.

I agree with you, Europes weak defence is down to it's own poor choices and choosing to use the peace Dividend to fund more altruistic things like welfare and health care.

But you are realy letting the US off the hook way to easy. It's not a pointless exercise to criticise them for there wrong doings and the is absolutely no way, the American government and CIA did not know what it's top defence contractor was doing...

Wow speedy deletion..

The deletion was because I'd read up further and seen a few more balanced replies from yourself which made me question whether you were the person I originally responded to or simply someone replying to my post. I copied the post and pasted again having confirmed you were.

It's easy to hide behind hyperbole, it's a bit like the old 'I was only joking' defence. The point I'm making is that your original post that I responded to painted a picture of the world that is factually incorrect - and remains so with it without your defence of 'I was being hyperbolic'. It was an attempt to demonstrate that people with different opinions to you are biased, inconsistent and hypocritical, instead, what it showed is that you are prepared to distort facts, if not outright invent them to make your point.

There is, was and never has been a significant issue with hypocrisy in this case. Biden's difficulties were widely acknowledged, and where they were defended, there was at a minimum a wide acceptance that, true or not, the idea that he was cognitively impaired was damaging to the party. So much so he was forced out of office against his will by his own party - is that really the behaviour you'd expect to see when everyone, or even a significant number of people were being quiet? The more I reply to you, the more I'm struggling to understand how on earth you believed typing your first comment was even worth while.

Compulsive behaviour isn't a symptom of Frontotemporal Dementia. The rest of them are, but they're also character traits that Trump has had for decades. How are you determining that he has developed Frontotemporal Dementia if his 'symptoms' haven't changed?

"Biden showed some onset age related issues."

Shared from "the trump diaries"

I WATCHED TRUMP'S ENTIRE PRESS BRIEFING TODAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO

I know it's popular around here to hyperbolically remark that every new Trump speech is the "most deranged speech you've ever heard," but a select few of them actually fit the bill, no hyperbole.

That Christmas Eve White House address where he forgot to mention Christmas and spent the whole time talking about deadly South American snakes is a solid Top 3 Contender.

So was today's White House presser celebrating his One Year Anniversary in office.

For starters, Agent Orange showed up a half-hour late, wielding a phone-book-sized stack of papers clipped together that just said "ACCOMPLISHMENTS," which Trump held up and said, "We have a book that I'm not going to read to you– these are the accomplishments of what we've produced."

And then having told the press room he's not gonna read them anything in the "book" he’s waving at them, Trump launched into a rambling 1-hour 45-min incoherent mess that made a strong case for giving the man another one of those "preventative MRIs."

Here's some of the things 47 thought we would be proud of him for "accomplishing" this year:

• He held up several mugshots of Minnesota's "WORST OF WORST" criminals, explaining that ICE had just rounded them up last week even though the mugshots we could all read said they'd been convicted last summer. One mugshot said the man was guilty of "Intentional Homicide," which Trump read as "International Homicide."

• Somalians stole $19 billion dollars. They're very low-IQ people, but somehow they figured out how to steal $19 billion and spent it all on Mercedes Benzes. And Somalia isn't even a real country. (Not sure how this is an "accomplishment," just go with it. As we'll see, Trump doesn't appear to have any idea how this exercise is supposed to work.)

• Rep Ilhan Omar made $30 million without ever having a job. (she's been a teacher, campaign manager, non-profit executive, Dept of Education staff, and City Council member. Most of "her" net worth is actually her husband's.)

• Men in women's sports is dumb, but not as dumb as Biden's open border policies.

• All the oil companies are getting ready to "massively invest in Venezuela" (despite telling Trump last week that Venezuela was "univestable.")

• Joe Biden is sleepy. And crooked. And the worst president we've ever had.

• Minnesota is full of the "toughest people around," and all ICE wants to do is round them up and send them back to the mental institutions they came from, but they're being abused by Don Lemon who's a "loser and lightweight."

• He really felt bad when "that woman" was shot, but some other lady was yelling "Shame! Shame!" like a professional opera singer, so that's how he knows she was a professional agitator.

• ICE arrested "10,000 criminals in Minnesota." (ICE has arrested around 3,000 people TOTAL in MN, 212 of which had severe criminal records.)

• He loves "Hispanic." He did great– he did the highest. Nobody ever got numbers like he got, "from the standpoint of being a Republican."

• He "won the entire border along Texas between Texas and Mexico," which nobody's ever done before.

• Joe Biden didn't win the election—it was rigged—and "everybody knows that now." Numbers are "coming out now that show it even more plainly—we caught him."

• He's very glad his fingers didn't get stuck in that big clip holding all the papers together. It could've done a lot of damage, but he wouldn't have showed any pain at all...even if his fingers fell off.

• He solved Biden's "stagflation," which was "the highest inflation in the history of our country." (It wasn't even in the Top 10, and Biden solved it before Trump took office.)

• Many of the biggest factories in the world are now being built in America. (Don't ask how they're both "the biggest" and also "under construction.")

• The Democrats shut down the government but the U.S. still had 5% GDP growth. And nobody present has "ever heard of 5%." Under Biden, inflation was so high that "nobody could calculate it."

• SNAP was at $7 billion, but then it came out to over $51 billion because the previous administration didn't have a clue—all they wanted was for men to play women's sports—so they went to the Supreme Court, but everyone saw in the Supreme Court that men playing women's sports doesn't work, so he got $18 trillion in commitments for new investments.

• Drug prices in America were so high that we were basically "subsidizing the whole world," but now we have Most Favored Nation Status, which reduces drug prices 300, 400, 500, even 600%.

• We had the best economy in history during his first term, but then Biden came in and ruined it all so now we have to build it all again.

• We slashed the federal budget deficit by 27% in one year (it was actually 2%), and that's with all the murderers in Minnesota they had to deal with.

• Biden let in millions of illegals and almost all of them are "mentally insane killers."

• California is a "disaster state" with a governor that is "doing a bad job." And if Newsom ever became president, he'd turn the U.S. into Venzuela. (CA has the largest economy in the US and the 4th-largest in the world.)

• Investment in American factories is up 41%, which is a record. Nobody goes 41% up. You go 2% up. 1% up, you go down by 3%. If Kamala got elected, the 41% up would be 41% down.

• He fired 270,000 people from their "government bureaucrat jobs," and all those people wanted to hate him, but then they all got jobs in factories making three times as much money and now they can all afford houses, so they love him for firing them.

• Nobody has come into the country illegally in 8 months. But before that, EVERYONE came in and they were so bad, they made our Hell's Angels look like "the sweetest people on earth." The Hell's Angels are now considered a "nice, high-quality person."

• That thing we did to the drug boats—we're starting to do that on land. Land is much easier than water. Actually, water is incredible. We did it on the water, so nobody's going into the boat business right now. Drugs coming in by water is down 97% now, which nobody has ever heard of before.

• ICE is going to "make mistakes" and "rough some people up" because the people they're going after are really rough. But that lady they shot in the face—Trump felt really bad about it. Because he heard her dad was a Trump supporter–a tremendous Trump fan. He was all for Trump. Loved Trump. And it's terrible— he was told that by a lot of people. They said, "Oh, he he loves you." He was a- Trump hopes he still feels that way because it's a hard hard situation. But her father was a tremendous– her parents were tremendous Trump fans. (Seriously. "I feel bad about my goons blasting her face off because her dad loved me.")

• Ilhan Omar is from Somalia. They say it's the worst country in the world. If it's even a country, which he doesn't think it is. There's no organization. They don't have police. (they do) They don't have a military. (they do) It's "nothing but people running around killing each other and trying to pirate ships." Trump can't stand her.

• He was doing a great campaign against Biden. But then Biden pulled out and Kamala got in, which is just like if Dana White was doing a cage fight and in the middle of the fight, he replaced one fighter with a different fighter. But it didn't matter.

• He "very powerfully" designated English the official language of the U.S.

• We made the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America because we have "92% of the shoreline." Mexico "only has 8%." (The U.S. has about 42%, Mexico about 52%, Cuba 7%)

• He's trying to end birthright citizenship because it was originally intended for "the children of sla ves."

• He hopes SCOTUS will declare fentanyl a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" because 300,000 died last year, which is like "filling up one of those big football stadium five times.)

• We had a "very good success rate" of blowing boats out of the water—nearly 100%—and then we blew up their docks where they "stored all their drugs" and now we have a great relationship with Venezuela. Which is way better than before when they were sending Tren de Aragua to take over Colorado and chopping off people's hands if they called the cops.

• You can now take your children, your loved ones, or even your lover to D.C. and walk down the streets and not be murdered any more. Because the military took all the fences down and got rid of the graffiti. And that's why every town looks better when the military's in it.

• Elections in Minnesota have always been corrupt. He "really feels" like he won it three times.

• Next month, he's getting rid of cashless bail. Which reminds him of growing up in Queens and seeing bars on windows. Which reminds him of playing baseball in the park. Which reminds him of his mom. Who told him he could've been a professional baseball player. But those bars on the windows were the Democrats' fault, so they took them down and now everybody lives on the streets.

• California "took down all their mental institutions" and that's why "everybody lives on the streets" there now.

• Taking out Iran's nukes was the "most successful anyone's ever seen," and CNN is fake news. He doesn't know where they are, but they're definitely fake. That's why we're respected on the world stage again.

• He ended 8 "unendedable wars" including India-Pakistan, which was "about to go nuclear" in his opinion. So he probably saved 10 million people.

• Ethiopia built the biggest dam in the world to steal all the water in "a little river called the Nile" from Egypt. And we financed it. Maybe it was a Republican president, but he doesn't think it was. He thinks it was a Democrat president. But Egypt needs a lot of water for things like entertainment and travel and tourism, so Trump got their Nile River water back for them.

• He KNOWS that Norway "calls all the shots" over the Nobel Peace Prize—even if they say "we have nothing to do with it," they're totally lying—but he doesn't care anything about the Peace Prize. Also that "Maria lady" is a very nice lady for giving him her Peace Prize.

• He just created the Board of Peace, which he "hopes will be amazing."

• Biden completely botched the Afghanistan withdrawal. Which never would've happened under Trump because he's "done more for NATO than maybe anyone."

• We're about to start building new battleships that are "100 times more powerful than those battleships in WW2." And he renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, "which everybody loves, by the way."

• He withdrew us from the WHO because we pay way more than China, who has a lot more people. But we have a better military. And it's being rebuilt because it was "horrible" that Biden gave it all away to the Taliban.

• The Paris Climate Accord is fake.

• He ended "the woke lunacy and restored common sense."

• He ended the "Green New Scam" (his nickname for the Green New Deal, which isn't a thing that's ever existed).

• Tariffs are the greatest thing ever. And he had to invoke the CA emissions waiver to stop the San Francisco communists from regulating the auto industry and destroying automobiles and the entire country.

• Banned transgenders from the military, and gender ideology and Critical Race Theory from schools. But what Harvard's done is terrible—they're "very antisemitic."

• Linda McMahon is doing a fantastic job abolishing the Department of Education. He ended Joe Biden's Weaponization of Government and removed the "radical left Marxist" prosecutors like Jack Smith, who's a son of a bitch. And Alvin Bragg is sick. And so is Letitia James. And so is Fannie Willis, but she wants to be called "Fawnie" even though it's really "Fanny."

• People accuse Trump of "weaponizing everything," but he's never weaponized ANYTHING. They did it to him first. Nobody's ever gone through what he went through, and now he's in a beautiful building called "the White House."

• NPR and PBS were "very unfair" so he "closed them." Because they were terrible. Just so terrible. BUT he brought back Columbus Day, which made the Italian people very happy. And he also brought back Social Security.

• California is dumb because they didn't allow water in to put out the LA wildfires. They just dumped all their extra water into the Pacific Ocean.

• He issued new vaccine recommendations, and a new food pyramid, and provided $12 billion in aid for American farmers because they "got screwed by other nations" (aka "Trump's tariffs). But drug dealers are "way down."

After hearing Donald reading out his and America's incredible list of achievements today, I can only conclude that we have all got him totally wrong and owe him a huge apology for our erstwhile scorn.

Singling out the section which indicated his most remarkable wit,it has to be the bit where he told the Swiss how their watches were such a popular and lucrative import to the States that he felt obliged to levy 39% on them so that America could take a cut instead of all the profit going to a small and insignificant European country (His hosts for the occasion).

To give him his due, he never mentiond cuckoo clocks!

Yesterday, it seemed that his support was at an all time low.

"I'm perplexed at how he's managed to get to the level of power that he has.

Blame SCOTUS and the dereliction of responsibility by the house of representatives for that "

And the complete and utter lack of any form of critical thinking by a large section of the US voting public.

When this is all over, and America is trying to recover from what Trump has done to it, the internal political backlash will reflect post world war 2 Germany.

However, the trust built over generations with the rest of the word has been lost in less than a year. That will not easily return as new alliances are being built each day that bypass the USA.

Whatever you think of Trump, he will eventually disappear or die. The greatest damage has been done by the realisation that his election to office was the result of the mass stupidity of the US electorate and the spineless nature of "the party before the people" exhibited by the Republicans Congress.

They will both need to show they have wised up before Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, etc trust them again.

The U.S. empire has peaked as far as I see. It’s all slowly downhill from here. Other countries have already started forging new alliances. The societal friction being caused by Trump could even end up as some kind of civil war at home. Can easily see him & his supporters throwing the rattle out of the pram if the mid terms don’t go his way & the aftermath of the next presidential election could be a bloodbath if the MAGA candidate loses & they dispute it. Trump with all his kicking & screaming is merely accelerating the demise of the USA who simply will not be trusted so unquestionably any more after all this nonsense.

I quite like the idea of a multi polar world myself so bring it on. The U.S. has abused its fiscal power to coerce other nations for way too long.

This is true, which is why I couldn’t never get as riled about the Russian invasion of Ukraine as most others do. Sure, the invasion is wrong but American hypocrisy is wrong also.

Europeans railing against Putin whilst being totally complicit in dubious US foreign policy escapades? Really?

Poor old Zelensky is desperate for a peace deal in Ukraines benefit and hoping to long term US support.

Massive cuts to illegal immigration at Southern border

Increased ICR arrests of violent criminals

He took office with crime nationally at a 60 year low..

Sending out ice to trawl anyone who looks south American and the subsequent protests ties up local law enforcement from doing their role..

Its propaganda to say ice are arresting violent criminals..

5 year olds?

How did they arrest a 5 year old? These stories tend to be warped towards narrative and spin."

Its not the first child they've taken..

And this family has applied correctly at one of the access ports, have no criminal records..

Taking a 5 year old 1200 miles away to a detention camp might give some Maga a boner but its an awful look and a callous application..

They're using the children as bait and its not just this one little boy..

A direct question to you (and anyone else praising Trump) if I may please?

Do you find his comments about our troops who served in support of America repulsive and not worthy of a President..?

The ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who live daily with the life affecting consequences of being injured plus their loved ones..

"Murder rate in US falls by 20% in 2025 to 35 year low. What a terrible performance by the OG.

Isn’t this the bit where you normally say Chicago and New York and LA are out of control even though their murders rates are down…

So you give all the credit to the president.. but none to the governors or mayors of cities?

Facts don't lie Fabio.

Like the White House recently altering the arrest photograph of a woman to show her crying and looking remorseful whereas the original and real photo shows an expression of defiance.

The man is a disgrace and should not be allowed to hide behind the defence of bring senile. The King should refuse to visit and perhaps NATO members might consider boycotting the world Cup and Olympics.

"Washington DC 40% drop in murder rate after Trump employed National Guard there.

0% in Russia under Stalin, so he has a good target to aim for

Didn't Stalin murder at least five million?"

You mean he forcefully re-educated Nazi collaborators?

Zero murders.

It is… the story was spun…. And then spun again by the vice president… and then more details came out

So the 5 year was not arrested as such

He was in the midst of being picked up by his father from school, ICE came to detain the father.. father fled scene

Bad dad vice president said…. End of story.. nothing else to see here

So what was left out by vice pres is that the boy was then picked up by other family members, taken home… I’ve followed them home where they then picked up father and to see if there were other illegals members of the family (there were not!) After father was detained at the home the family pleaded with ICE to leave 5yr old with them (for kids stability of life, going to school ect) and ICE refused

Within 24hrs of the incident they were quickly moved from Minnesota to Texas….

ICE are normally very very quick in these kind of cases to justify what they did and say why dad was detained, very bad man ect… this time they are awfully quiet, we know they were going through the immigration process but we don’t know what stage they were at

They are being accused of using the child as bait (because picking up from school) to get the dad

I'm sure all those arrested by ICE are toddlers or cases of mistaken identity. I mean its not like there have been hundreds, if not 1000s, of murders, r@pes and other terrible crimes by illegal migrants, they're obviously all just picking tomatoes and packing bags at Walmart.🤣

To be fair, crime was always going to fall once Joe Biden's son was given immunity from prosecution.

"As of July 2024, there were 425,431 non-citizens with criminal convictions on ICE’s "non-detained docket" - a database of people facing deportation proceedings but who are not held in ICE custody.

Of these:

13,099 were convicted of homicide

15,811 were convicted of sexual assault

62,231 were convicted of assault."

The stats do not say how many of these are under 5.🤷

I have just read the story and to be honest I have no idea what the truth is. Every side is trying claim the truth, and I can't see how anyone can say one or the other is lying with any certainty.

Love Trump. That none of the left whined when Obama was doing the exact same thing, and even deploying troops at the border to intercept illegal immigrants is telling. They're just using the ICE stuff as a tool to hit Trump.

I had a friend murderer and dismembered by a failed asylum seeker who should have been deported. Anyone who's entered the UK illegally should be deported. Chels is from HK and we know many people who've sought asylum legally. Those who enter unlawfully have nefarious intentions or no basis to claim asylum.

If it was a one off then yes its a case of he said, she said but there been 4 in the same school district in one City that we know of so far..

For some that locking up 5 year olds is acceptable because the parents are south American even though they have lawfully applied is a sad indictment upon their own 'morals'..
