puck2 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A typical Trump reaction. Like a dictator he thinks he is the only one to know the solution of a problem. But most dictators are much more intelligent than this egomaniac. He isn't able to solve his own problems (i.e. migration), but is arrogant enough to give other countries „good/right“ advice. Beside the quality of his quacking it's an incredible and embarrassing remark against his host. This confirms again he has an utterly disgraceful character. A shame for the USA as the people show now in GB that he isn't welcome. He deserves a night in a pig-stall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent Americans are trying to remove or at least check the power of this human stain. International help in that and understanding that this gross clown does NOT represent the American people is well appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zydeco Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yea, that idiot Trump. What's he done? Just reordered world alliances and trading blocs. Brought unemployment to record lows at home and increased wages. Put the Fear of God into North Korea and the Chinese have already blinked in the trade war. Sure, he should have followed all the fashionable "common sense" that put the world in the mess it was in already. Then, the bunch of George F. Kennan wannabes ranting on impotent message boards across the world would approve. They're the real geniuses, after all. That's why they're available 24/7 on message boards for routine enlightenment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a British citizen I am embarrassed the way Said Khan has allowed balloons of him around Londonstan. too many tree hugging leftie loonies marching. Just reminds me of the lot at Greenham Coomon in the 1980's were they use to spit, throw excrement at you when guarding the fence. Trump has said what to many British politicians should be saying. This is not what the UK voted for and he is right that TM has 'caved in' so to speak. There will be posters on here who just won't like what he says, because it is the truth. Well I will be there. Had to pre-book my train ticket because the trains from here are going to be packed with demonstrators. Living in the Tory heartland (Raab being the MP) I do find it amusing, as always, that for some head in the sand people, they think that only "lefties" have a moral backbone and a social conscience. Don't find many lefties round here but the vast majority of people back the demonstrations. Tomorrow the racist demonstration in on in London, cleared to go ahead by the London Mayor. No doubt some of the members on TV will be cheering that on! I would think that most of us can remember the excellent Spitting Image series on the television with Ronald Reagan featuring strongly as the President with no brain! Not sure who was Director General of the BBC at the time but the series ran for years. I think the fact that Trump collaborated with the Sun newspaper (sic) says it all. Doubt a real newspaper would touch it with a bargepole. As for Trump being president of the USA. That is right and anyone in a seat of power should expect criticism if they screw up and boy has he screwed up! I will never stop protesting against this moron and I only hope that somebody produces a whole range of Trump blow up baby dolls so that we can all have one!

Berkshire Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Trump is relentless and consistent in attacking anything and everything, whether it be the ACA, Iran Deal, TPP, NAFTA, Climate Accord, immigration laws...you name it, he attacks it. The problem is, Trump has no solution, no new ideas, no new "great" deals. A total conman, liar, and inept deal-maker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
