Whatever you think of Trump he IS the only leader that supports UK thru brexit

[anotheoldgit]

President Trump could pay us a visit in February, but according to this daft Labour MP he should be arrested. lol.

/// Labour MP Chris Bryant today repeated his suggestion that the 'leader of the free world' should be arrested for inciting racial hatred if he sets foot in the UK. ///

One thing seems certain however, I don't think we will be allowed to see any more scenes of ISIS slaughters in our press, just in case they may incite racial hatred you understand.

"Jim, the point is we should respect it. If push ever comes to shove whose side are you on… really?"

Obviously if the US were the victim of a Nuclear Strike then I'd be on their side, for what little good that would do. But that goes without saying. And anyway it is pretty unlikely really to happen (and I venture to suggest that Trump's "fire and fury" rhetoric only served to make it *more* likely anyway). But the President isn't somehow immune to criticism.

Which brings me back to the points I made in my last post, which I note went unaddressed. If we are expected to respect the office of President, should not the President also be expected to respect that office? After all, it matters rather a lot more that he does than that I do. And does Trump respect the office, really? What gives you the impression that he does, either now or in the past?

It's hard to escape the conclusion, anyway, that you are holding me to higher standards than you are the President.

// If push ever comes to shove whose side are you on… really?" //

the push is more likely to be that Trump withdraws from Europe to make American great again
and allows Putin to march into eastern europe again

and THEN whose side will we be on ?

Do-gooders win again !!

[youngmafbog]

The MINORITY do gooders win again.

Something is going seriously wrong with the World, not just this. It has become far to easy to post allegations (either false or not provable) and get away with it repeating them enough so morons think they are true.

This is not a 'right' or 'left' think it appears to be happening across the board, any minority with an agenda can whip up the 'crowds' (although they are still a minority) and adided and abetted by certain media outlets make it apppear things are true when they are not.

YMB....nobody has any need to make things up about Trump......everything he does and says is out in the open and most of it is on film.......he is hung by his petard.

[EDDIE51]

^ Good point. The reality is far worse than anything we can say , do or imply.

[mikey4444]

Eddie....what amazes me is that there are people, here on AB, that have viewed all his gaffs and plain nastiness, just as everybody else has, and then pretend that he isn't a racist, and misogynist !

Mikey, //nobody has any need to make things up about Trump......//

Why do you do it then?

Jim, //Which brings me back to the points I made in my last post, which I note went unaddressed. If we are expected to respect the office of President, should not the President also be expected to respect that office?//

He’s not politically correct enough for you, he’s far too blunt for your liking, and he isn’t a dyed in the wool politician – but that’s not to say he doesn’t respect the office of President.

[mikey4444]

What have I made up about Trump Naomi ?

Everybody agrees, except you and a few others, that he was wrong to re-tweet those tweets from Britain First.

[ichkeria]

You have to wonder whose side Trump as actually on. He has tweeted against the BBC accusing it effectively of fake news, and yet he continually soft pedals on Putin.

[naomi24]

Mikey, //What have I made up about Trump Naomi ?//

You’ve asked that once today and I’ve told you once today.

//Everybody agrees, except you and a few others//

Yes indeed .. but perhaps I and a few others don’t feel compelled to follow the pack.

// The mob mentality (with a few exceptions) in all its dubious glory.//

what - again ?
this thread is all mob mentality er except where it isnt

another damp wet normal day on AB then

[ichkeria]

That paragraph above by ymb about ‘mob mentality’ is spot on: except I don’t think the author actually means Trump!
