Popular Post Social Media Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 16, 2023 Former US president Donald Trump has bid "good riddance" to Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon following her shock resignation announcement. Referring to Ms Sturgeon as a "failed woke extremist", he also accused the outgoing leader of the Scottish National Party of fighting him over his golf courses in Scotland. Criticising her government's controversial gender reforms which have sparked a major row in recent weeks, Mr Trump insisted that the people of Scotland would be "much better off" without Ms Sturgeon in the top job. 2 1 2
Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 16, 2023 While I agree with him about no loss with her going, I was wondering why he had a beef with her till I was reminded of his golf courses in Scotland. Seems female leaders throwing in the towel has become popular, with her following NZ's recent PM sudden resignation. I can think of at least one more I'd like to see cast themselves into political oblivion. 2 1 1
Popular Post JonnyF Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 16, 2023 I'd agree with Trump on this one. She was indeed a Woke extremist. Her latest gaffe to try and allow male rapists into female prisons because they change their identity after being caught was the final straw. Good riddance to her and her divisive politics. Great news for the UK. 4 2 4 3

Anyone that disagrees with Trump ends up being the focus of his attacks even when its nothing whatsoever to do with him, this particular, one dancing on her political grave. My opinion, there would have been no statement from Trump had the golf course not been an issue. 7 1

Trump was actually doing very well with the UK. Open to a trade deal, a great relationship with the PM. It was all looking quite promising until his successor came in and started pretending to be Irish and understand British politics. 3 1 2 2 4 4

Funny you should mention women on this thread. Today is a great day for Women's rights in Scotland. Sturgeon's support of the trans lobby was constantly eroding their rights in Scotland. Hopefully her Gender recognition bill will be thoroughly reviewed and the many extremist elements removed to protect the rights of women north of the border. 2 1 2 2

Popular Post Berkshire Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 16, 2023 Some of you guys never fail to take the bait. When Trump attacks someone, it almost always has to do with a personal grievance. So it's not about Sturgeon's politics or her "wokeness" or her world view. It's because she was mean to him.... [While not a household name in the United States, Sturgeon's antipathy toward former President Donald Trump – who owns two golf clubs in Scotland – did generate headlines.] [In January 2021, Sturgeon declared that Trump was unwelcome as COVID-19 raged and amid Trump's attempts to subvert his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.] [Ten days before she was reelected that April, Sturgeon penned an editorial in The Guardian regarding independence, warning that the British government "ignoring the will of the Scots would be an act worthy of Trump."] [In May 2022, Sturgeon also weighed in on the 2024 presidential contest, telling Americans, "don't re-elect Trump at any point."] https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/she-fought-me-all-the-way-donald-trump-rages-at-scotland-s-retiring-first-minister/ar-AA17wZlL?ocid=wispr&cvid=27e179419f664aefa11dbb15a4c76fd9 4 2

There will be countless women who thought that this was just a "nice to be nice" bit of legislation that have now realised that it is the equivalent of allowing foxes to identify as chickens so they can get access to the hen house. I can provide a link to what common sense means if that is any help to you? 1 3
