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?

Did the Obamas chose to push their two girls forward for publicity, whereas perhaps the Trumps chose not to do so with their children?
The Obama sisters were not pushed forward for publicity, why would they be?
I haven't seen how either Obama's or Trump's family have not conducted themselves with dignity and I have no trouble in saying so.

I think you're attempting to draw me into making personal insults to you. Is that right?
I've tried to answer your points, without recourse to personal insults to you, but if this is how you wish to conduct yourself...so be it.
Back to your points then...
1. 'Mrs Ctrl-C Ctrl-V' - it's really not bigoted to refer to something that was in the public sphere. Parts of her FLOTUS acceptance speech were lifted from Michelle Obama's speech. Meliana claimed to have written it all herself. Hence 'Mrs Ctrl-C Ctrl-V'.
You asked
[Why have you not took as much notice of the Trump children as you have of the Obama family?]
(cough 'taken').
I have not taken as much notice of the Trump children, because I am not a fan of The Apprentice. Until last year I actually thought Trump was single.
However, in the past decade, we have seen Obama's daughters grow up, and have seen his wife acting as FLOTUS. They have had a much higher public profile.
You asked, "Did the Obamas chose to push their two girls forward for publicity, whereas perhaps the Trumps chose not to do so with their children?"
It's a good question, that I cannot answer. What I do know however is that Barack Obama has never once allowed a man to say (to his face) that either of his daughters is 'a great piece of ass'...as Donald has done about his own daughter.
Also, Obama has never once said that if he wasn't married and her father than he'd like to date his daughter.
His...own...daughter.

/// The Obama sisters were not pushed forward for publicity, why would they be? ///
I did not say they were, I was merely answering sp1814, because he stated he knew more about the Obama's children than the Trump's.
This is what I put:
/// Did the Obamas chose to push their two girls forward for publicity, whereas perhaps the Trumps chose not to do so with their children? ///
The secret is in the word 'DID'.

The whole Trump family are a bunch of Flagrant,Shameless Hucksters/Hustlers....aided and abetted by an equally Shameless PR 'Machine'!
Witness Kellyanne Conway openly 'touting' Ivanka's Frocks in White House TV interviews,and Donald doing the same,from the Oval Office!
Using 'Celebrity Apprentice',to flog anything 'Trump',from Melania's Make-up,to,again,Ivanka's Frocks..makes for the most excruciating,cringeworthy viewing.

I know more about Malia and Sasha because they were in the White House for eight years.
I know nothing about Trump's kids, because over the past eight years I've not followed Trump's tv career.
That's about it really.
In eight years time, no doubt I'll know a lot more about them (for instance, the number of boys and number of girls and which former marriages they came from), but right now - they're all a bit of a mystery.
There's a Donald Trump Jr isn't there?
And a little boy...about nine years old?
And Ivanka.
Any more?

Ah! that's okay then, perhaps now you will accept that Trump is the President of the US now, and there is nothing you, I or anyone else can do about it.
He has been in power for only one month, as he in that short time done anything that affects you or our country personally?
So don't you think that for the sake of harmony towards our neighbours across the Atlantic, that our media and those who agree with their stance, that instead of this rather silly childish name calling, we should leave him to carry out the promises he has made to his own peoples.
Obama tried to interfere with our Brexit campaign and look where it got him? Leave others to run their own countries, we don't wish other countries to rule us, isn't that why we chose to leave the EU?

anneasquith 'Trump held a rally in California last evening. He was lamenting about terrorist attacks in Europe ( fair point) but he cited the dreadful terrorist attack Switzerland suffered the night before ( Friday ) ....... There was no attack on Switzerland !!!!!!!!!!!! '
Apart from not mentioning Switzerland and being nowhere near California, that's the most lucid comment I've seen you make, Annie.
Well done.

Is it any wonder that people rip the mick out of his family, when he goes on about illegal immigrants and those that work illegaly. Yet his own wife worked illegaly in America. He goes on about making America great again and states that only products made in America should be sold in America then you discover that his daughters entire clothing line is made in China as was all of his election baseball caps and ties are all made in China!! Then he uses a presidential news conference to complain over the treatment his wife/daughter gets over her clothing line being sacked from a department store!!!
What we have got to take into consideration about Trump is this:
He is not a professionally politician, unlike some of ours, who have come straight from University and into politics.
He has only been in office for the past month and he has come from the hard knocks school of big business, so he is bound to be a little brash in his ways, he is also an American and we all know that some of those can come over a little brash, much different from our stereotyped English gent.
And what is different about him is the fact that he is not frightened to say how it is, which comes strange to those who are trained to wear their rose tinted glasses and pretend that everything is hunky-dory.
