We Proud Ourselves As A Tolerant Nation, So Why Are We So Intolerant Towards The Leader Of Our Friendliest Allies?
188 Answers
We ridicule him, regarding the colour of his skin, his hair style etc, etc.
We ridicule his wife and family, yet had only praise and admiration for the previous President's wife and family.
We condemn him for speaking the truth about some Mexicans, when he says they are rapists and murderers, while we ourselves are reluctant to condemn some of our Muslims even though they have been proven as murdering terrorists etc.
We also raise petitions so as to get his arranged state visit to this country banned, yet in the past have accepted state visits from some of the world's worse despots.
What kind of message does this give out to, not only the President of the USA, but also the millions of American people who voted him in power, why should they be tolerant to what must seem to them as such a nasty little country as ours?

/// It's because his skin colour and his hair ARE ridiculous. A man in his 70s who spends longer on his hair and make-up than Lady Gaga is up for ridicule. ///
How can you possibly know how long he spends on his hair, seems to me he doesn't spend too much time on it at all. Regarding his skin colour he can not be held responsible for that, no more than a black skinned person can, that is except the late Michael Jackson of course.
No they are just childish playground insults.
/// The reason why the Obamas as a family were praised and admired is because they conducted themselves with dignity. ///
I sense you are being a little biased there sp, I wonder why?.
/// Furthermore, he did not say SOME Mexicans. This is what he actually said: ///
/// They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And 'SOME', I assume, are good people." ///
Yes that is what he said 'SOME' read what he said again, after all it was you who copied and posted it.
/// It's the other way around. He's saying that some Mexicans are good people, which means that most are bad. ///
Not necessarily so, but then perhaps this may be true, have you any reason to doubt it, either way?
/// Money on it - if Mugabe planned a visit to the UK, he would be petitioned. ///
May be so, but didn't we accept a visit from China's leader in 2015?
Cameron even enjoyed a pint with him.

AOG - he isn't naturally orange, he wears lots of makeup.

You assume I have said that Trump's family have not conducted themselves with dignity.
I didn't say that. AOG wrote that we 'had only praise and admiration for the previous President's wife and family.'
I responded with:
[His wife stole parts of her FLOTUS speech from Michelle Obama. That's where the ridicule started. As for the rest of his family - I would lay money that most ABers couldn't even name one, let alone ridicule them. The reason why the Obamas as a family were praised and admired is because they conducted themselves with dignity.]

Donald Trump is solely responsible for his skin colour. No-one was born orange.
Michael Jackson's skin colour was a result of - vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disease which leave those affected with patches of discoloured skin. This is why he wore make up - to cover it up. It's in the autopsy report.
Regarding Obama - I think that most people would agree that his family deported themselves well during his tenure as President. Would you not agree?
No - you're wrong about the Mexican quote. I think we can both see why you're wrong, so it's no use debating it.

/// For a split second, the new U.S. President’s hair was blown out of place to reveal what some have described as a fake tan line on the leader’s forehead. ///
Are yes a 'fake tan line' don't you think that if he did use make-up (nothing wrong in that, in this day and age, one is careful to add) he would lift his hair from his forehead before he sprayed on the tan?
Or is it more reasonable to assume he really is sun tanned, I mean, who goes around in the sun lifting up one's hair, so as to gain an all over face tan?

I don't see the valid points in the OP (hence my earlier post).
I think there are some points being made which are thought-provoking, but that doesn't necessarily make them valid.
Regarding his tonsorial affectations - this isn't the first time this has happened...American has elected its own Silvio Berlusconi.

/// Appalled as I am that AOG thinks we're such a nasty little country, ///
That is not what I said, and well you know it. This is what I put:
/// why should they be tolerant to what must seem to them as such a nasty little country as ours? ///
Seems to them!!!!!!!!!, the American people, not what it seems to AOG.
