Corbyn is right to complain.

 

Similarities between "trump" Farage and Boris.

 

Quote

 

A British boor is just Trump with a posh accent and veneer of ironic detachment

 

No, Americans don’t have a patent on brute obnoxiousness. That’s rubbish.

 

We Britons like to tell ourselves that Donald Trump is a uniquely American beast: as loud, brutal and all-consuming as a big-rig truck; as self-mythologizing and hungry for esteem as any WWF trash-talker, or Jay Gatsby, or America itself.

And Juncker said he should have interfered too before the referendum. Well he probably did anyway but can't admit it.

Trump interferes in everybody's business. It is a wannabe king complex. It is just what he does. It is his profound lack of wisdom, intelligence and foreign policy skill that makes it so annoying and harmful to the US. 

 

Alas, this sounds like one of the boring contributions on CNN panel discussions, all of them mightily appalled by Trump's acting like a bull in a china shop.  Whereas, if Trump will go down in history as one of the US's best presidents, it will be precisely because he has "disrupted" all normal business.

Future generations may find that a useful service to his country.  And we can see how Trump has forced the Democratic Party to turn violently to the left.  Which will in turn bring either further chaos or a radical turn to the Right.  Who knows?

Yeah who cares about lack of evidence. Two years, $40,000,000, 500 interviews! Evidence doesn't matter to the swamp.

Yeah, I agree, those Benghazi hearings were a clown show, that Republican blend of hypocrisy and vanity at its peak.

But it was longer than 2 years, wasn't it?

 

The Mueller probe turned a profit from seizing Manafort's property alone.  Looks like The Witch Hunter found a few witches.

Bore?  Or "boor"?  

And what benefits, precisely, has "style" brought to the United States or indeed any country?  If the Russians had resisted the Nazis at Stalingrad with "style" rather than brute force Moscow would now be occupied by Hitler's descendants.

"Style" is good in a museum, (thank you, Da Vinci) but to prioritise "style" is class consciousness of the worst sort. 

of course antisemite corbyn is crying foul as incompetend stalinistic loser . just look around socialists are losers from germany to venezuela to south africa, its globally wonderful.

eu elections in the uk confirmed socialists out.

You may wish to engage with a bit more thought. Just providing a link to an article by Sky News which is a much later timeline than your links, which refutes the basis of prior criticism. Can you empirically refute the Sky News report?

Yeah, misspelling. Trying rather hard aren't you with nonsensical comparison. I re-affirm my admiration of Obama's style - you don't agree - so what..."class consciousness of the worst sort" - LOL - what are you, a Marxist from Oldham?

It doesn't change the fact that it was interference as much as you lot say Trump is interferening now. 

 

Obama has style? He has a mouth. Just like Trump.

The issue here is whether foreign leaders should interfere. For remainers it seems to be OK for Obama to do it but when Trump speaks out - Oh Nooooo.

I don't know about this. So much depends on the context of what was being discussed that it is hard to say how inappropriate this was. Certainly, nobody outside the UK should be allowed to actively influence the election, but just stating an opinion? Ultimately it is still up to the UK voters to decide whether Trump's personal opinion means anything or not. Trump didn't actually do anything except provide a factual data point saying he would prefer to work with Boris. Everyone in the UK is still free to ignore that fact.

 

Now, if Trump started a concerted social media campaign about the issue, that would clearly be interference and crossing the line. Or if he said the United States was going to enact some punitive measure if Boris did not win. That is highly inappropriate. But a single statement of opinion when asked about it? I would need to see the context of the interview to understand if it was inappropriate or not.

 

It is a really grey area and I think says more about Corbyn's personal dislike of Trump than anything else.

 

 

And it brings a question; how does / would trump react to leaders outside of the US commenting / criticizing his comments, policies, actions?

 

 

See Trump can not keep his fat gob shut.

Quote

Nigel Farage should be involved in the government's Brexit negotiations and the UK should be prepared to leave the EU with no deal, Donald Trump has said.

In a Sunday Times interview, the US president was critical of government's Brexit negotiations, saying it left the EU "with all the cards."

The interview comes before his state visit to the UK begins on Monday.

See the Duchess of Sussex will not be attending any events next week, so he won't be able to suggest that she should be looking after her father and step siblings...

 

And I am sure it is no accident that the refurb of Buck House coincides with his state visit.

He doesn't react. Actually not much criticism from national leaders so far except Trudeau and the EU's Tusk, Juncker and Verhofstadt (latter had a rant in the EU Parliament)...but these people are hardly leaders in any real sense.

I find The Donald's remarks welcome. He should be on the re-negotiating team for the UK, or leading the way when we walk away from the EU. That the MSM and so many TVF posters are up in arms (again) only goes to show that he's talking sense.

He should now give us his opinion on Corbyn and the Remainers.

Actually Obama did not stay at Buck House because his security people strongly advised he should not, yet before his inauguration Trump was already planning his State visit to London including staying at Buck House even though he had not even been offered a state visit at the time.

Regardless he said it and the point was that Obama was sticking his nose in UK politics. As for Obama having style, what ever floats your boat but I would describe him, as a smooth talking car salesman.
