American politics

He likes Kings and Queens. He likes golf. He likes Scotland.
He's America first - but I'm sure he'd love to be the modern George III

Indeed...the vain little fudger

There's probably also an element of Trump being nice to us and not so nice to the EU..so keeping a divide between us (UK and EU) by treating us differently and that in turn boxes us (UK) in when we want to manourver on certain issues. Drives a Putin approved little wedge in there.

On a side note..I don't think he's looks that well tbh.

Wasn’t it reported after the meeting with Macron that Trump had bruises on the back of his hands and there had been an attempt to cover them with make up?

Anthony Scaramucci on the Rest is Politics US said a couple of weeks ago that Trump didn’t look well and that he suspected something could be going on with his health.

Sounds like he could be taking warfarin.

Can you take anything he says seriously? His impact is more post-truth, an image, an impression.

And when politics has been in a state of stasis for near on a century, is it any wonder that someone who re-writes the rules, and uses soundbites (albeit of nonsense) captivates audiences? The amount of words written about Trump must be multiples more than any other president you'd think. There is a logic to the gonads. It is scattergun, fascinating, dangerous, tantalising, entertaining, upsettting... What it isn't is the same old dull political speak.

Yet its a return to the oldest kind of politics. Tell people you hate and blame the same people they do and you win their hearts.

You only have to look at the shear levels of Chem Trail, Flat Earth, Vax conspiracists out there to see why this stuff is popular, the only clever thing about it is being able to identify that there are enough of them in numbers in order to get into power, he can thank the barometers of crazy in Joe Rogan and Co for that intel.

People can scream "I am not being listened to" as much as they want, and we can blame the oppo for levels of not tapping into the crazy. But give me fact over fiction every day and the ability to call the crap, crap without someone claiming they are not being heard. Being heard by a pathological liar is not really the positive people are spinning it into

"Ohhh did I call him a dictator I don't remember"..............I mean no one is even bothering to fact check this stuff anymore.........I am done with it, politically the system is so broken its run like a twitter poll for nutters. I am 42, I will keep my own political brief and care about family, friends and work now, you can keep the rest of this crap

Seemed pretty robust at his news conferences.

The U.K. trade deal with the USA has been in the pipeline for a long time. The EU can and will go about things their own way but fining US companies like Apple and Google tens of billions of dollars on top of their trade imbalance is not going to help them in their dealings with him.

A principle fault line when the U.K. was in the EU was around trade freedoms - the U.K. has always been closer to the US from that point of view and that divide has always been present.

He's a persistent fudger.

When dust settles from the nuclear apocalypse, the only living organisms remaining will be roosterroaches, Donald Trump, Keith Richards and anyone associated with Chelski.
 
Republicans taking turns kissing Trump's ass.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for arguing with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance during an explosive Oval Office meeting Friday, telling reporters Kyiv’s leader should consider his political future.

“What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don’t know if we could ever do business with Zelensky again,” Graham said outside the White House after Trump canceled a scheduled joint press conference with Zelensky and ordered him out of the executive mansion.

“I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with, the way he handled the meeting,” the South Carolina Republican added, describing the Ukrainian’s approach as “just over the top.”

“I have never been more proud of the president. I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country,” Graham also said. “We want to be helpful.”
