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?

He didn't say there was a terror attack ... many of you are usually very pedantic ... pedantry doesn't suit you today does it.


On 16 February 2017, the District Court of Stockholm sentenced Sakhanh to life in prison for his participation in the massacre of 7 soldiers in Syria in 2012. The Court insisted in its judgement on the cruelty of the crime.
Talbot, you're splitting hairs. He mentioned Sweden in the same breath as Germany and Paris. His intention was clear.
Talbot....we, and the Swedish PM have shown that nothing happened in Sweden on the night before Trumps speech.

Why can't you accept that the man you continually support got it wrong ?
I don't support him but at the same time I don't act like a frighten rabbit caught in the headlights of a car speeding out of an oncoming tornado of hysteria.


Did he say Swedish terror attack or not?

No just like he didn't say Paris Terrorist attack or German terrorist attack. The words were superfluous. The meaning was clear. Why else would he mention Sweden in the same breath?
Talbot....."Did he say Swedish terror attack or not?"

No, he didn't ! He implied that there had been trouble in Sweden, and there hadn't been !

For someone who says that they don't support Trump, you are making a very good stab at it !

He made a mistake in his speech....why can't you accept that ?
A President is only as good as his advisors. Perhaps he was told that that Sweden had suffered some attack. Who knows. Remember the Bowling Green massacre - the nonexistent incident which one of his advisors (Kellyanne Conway) told the world about?

Mistakes happen I suppose.

Weird, unfathomably mistakes.
Repeatedly.
Call me the devil's advocate, mikey.


If as you have admitted he didn't say it ... how come what he didn't say was a headline in just about every news media outlet known to man?

You have always told me The BBC prints the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth ....
Talbot....you remind of the old adage about the horse that could be taken to water, but couldn't be forced to drink !
Well that is a good thing then, mikey I am the exact opposite to you.




'“We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, 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. You look at what’s happening in Brussels. You look at what’s happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris.”

^Fake news from the Guardian.

Real news from me...
“We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, 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. You look at what’s happening in Brussels. You look at what’s happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris.”
Sam....for the last time....nothing happened in Sweden the night be fore his speech !
Anyway, bear in mind that Trump gives long 'off the cuff' speeches unlike Jeremy 'strong message here' Corbyn.
Anyway now we have unequivocal decided I am right and Trump didn't say what the media headlines decided to print ... what about this vetting?

How did the Swedish authorities let a man who could put a bullet through the head of another man who had his hands tied being his back move in next door to Bjorn, Agnetha, Benny and Anni Frid?
I always know when someone has lost an argument, as they inevitably bring up Corbyn....thanks for not disappointing me Sam !
Whoosh!
Talbot...he said exactly what he is filmed as saying on the BBC link.

Why can't you accept that you are backing the wrong horse here ?
Be fair, mikey, he is funny.
By the way there was the usual ritual of a few car burning ceremonies
the night before, 3 in fact but that is not really seen as a crime anymore ... more a hobby.
