I have received an enquiry from America asking me to explain why we Brits dislike Trump so much.
I have a list, quite a long list, but wondered if any gransnetters might like to add to it today.

Trump got a lot of votes, but I think he is the only president who lost the popular vote twice.

Brexit could be a success - no one can say it won’t as we’ve never left before so nothing to compare.

Yes you are right Kandisnky. I have never divorced my DH before, and although everything is fine, I have never left him before so have nothing to compare. Worth a punt? Maybe take a few of the family with me and leave him isolated? What can possibly go wrong.

GillT57 I am absolutely in agreement with you.

Those lips..............that face............that hair...............ARRRRGGGGHHHHH! All that in addition to being a sleazy, lecherious, racist bully who owes millions of dollars! What more can I say?

Crickey, what will you lot have to moan about once Trump is a distant memory and Brexit is done and dusted?

I’m sure you’ll find something......

Do you never “moan” about anything ?

He touched our Queen.

People living in dictatorships look to democratic countries with hope for a better future and will fight hard for it. Trump has set that back a hundred years.

He touched our Queen. How very dare he!!
So did Keating.

Sorry Callistemon thought it had been taken seriously cos of Keating comment. Should have known better coming from you.

I was thinking of another Keating and another member of the RF but thought it might take us off piste if I mentioned that relationship.
