We Proud Ourselves As A Tolerant Nation, So Why Are We So Intolerant Towards The Leader Of Our Friendliest Allies?

[anotheoldgit]

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?

So which is the source of fake news here I wonder

[Zacs-Master]

Surely just another 'alternative fact'.

[THECORBYLOON]

He maybe thinks western movies are documentaries...

[THECORBYLOON]

"Others are speculating that the president may have confused Sweden with Sehwan, in Pakistan, where a suicide bombing on a Sufi shrine killed at least 80 people on Friday."

He does not mention a terror attack on Sweden does he?
Go on admit it ... he doesn't.

He does talk about vetting people (I know many of you think that is inhumane ... sorry)


He could possibly be talking about the jailing for life of the refugee mass killer Haisam Sakhan ... who vetted him?

Nothing appears to have happened in Sweden

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39020962

Is this more "alternative facts" perhaps, or perhaps Trump is spreading fake news ?

[THECORBYLOON]

Possibly, or he could just be a very confused old man who doesn't know what he's talking about.

[-Talbot-]

How many people have as recently as Thursday been jailed for life for a war crime, mikey?

Unless you think that is nothing, which is highly possible as it was Assad's soldiers that were executed.

[-Talbot-]

mikey or Donald, Corby?

[dannyk13]

I think that we are tolerant but we do not suffer fools gladly.

[mikey4444]

Corby.....Trump has been fed the wrong news, or a garbled version of the news. What is worrying is that he chose to air his ignorance in public.

His minders really need to get a grip here.

[ichkeria]

James Mathis 'has no problems with the press' apparently.
You wonder what sort of conversations go on between the two of them ...

[-Talbot-]

Regardless of whether or not Trump was thinking about a terror attack on Sweden he didn't say it.

I know why media outlets pretend he did actually say it but why do answerbankers?


If you think he did say it I would worry about your own mental health and not that of Trump.

[THECORBYLOON]

TALBOT, he spoke on Saturday about events the previous night. "you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible. " Do you really think he was referring to a court verdict?

[mikey4444]

Talbot......here is what Trump actually said ::::

...."you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden"

Nothing happened in Sweden, the night before he made his speech.

So why did he say it did ?

[ichkeria]

A lot of people will have gone home from that rally thinking there was some 'incident' in Sweden the previous night while in fact there was not. I find that 'problematic' shall we say. The man rants about fake news but he's a prime activist in that field. Whether it's deliberate, or he's just all at sea, is impossible to say right now

[Islay]

I love that the @Sweden on twitter was inundated with questions and concerns and the bloke manning the account had to give out the news that nothing had happened!

[mikey4444]

Its definite then....its fake news !
