The man is seriously deranged and he's getting more and more outrageous. Someone close to him needs reign him in, surely his daughter Ivanka must be squirming at his distateful behaviour?

Why shouldn't one make fun of what may be 'fundamental' to someone's way of life but which one thinks is ridiculous?

Life of Brian, anyone?

You are talking about the president of the USA for goodness sake.

Imagine any other leader in the world who would do such a thing!

Integrity and standards!

Hi Countess ,
I'm really glad that you also feel strongly enough to begin a thread on the disgusting behaviour of Trump .
Mine is on News .

Baggs Sun 04-May-25 13:25:37

Countries don't know anything, ww.

I agree it's vulgar.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 04-May-25 13:23:21

I am a humanist, but I know enough not to make fun of what for many people on this planet is fundamental to their way of life.

Utterly vulgar and showing such ignorance - made 1000 times worse because he is the leader of a country which should know better.

When I saw it my immediate thought was that it was about pushing the boundaries of free speech.

I don't actually like it but it doesn't offend me. Some religious ideas do offend me.

Well I’m not religious so it didn’t offend me. Each to their own I can understand that. And for those who might be tempted to say “have respect for the office”…. well Sadiq Khan allowed the orange baby in a nappy balloon over London during Trump’s visit here, remember? 🤷‍♀️

I know many people profess to be atheist now, but is there no respect for other people's religions?

Oh dear, That memo sounds quite awful. Hope I don't get sight of it.

eazybee Sun 04-May-25 13:05:02

Not funny.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sun 04-May-25 13:00:07

It’s a meme doing the rounds (while there’s no Pope).
“I could be a great Pope”.
I got one the day before yesterday - it was my sister’s dog wearing the mitre and vestments.

He has the right name !
He’s a flipping, disrespectful idiot (and flipping is not the word I would normally use )

He'll keep sinking until he reaches the bottom...

nanna8 Sun 04-May-25 12:33:43

If this is true and not some sort of press beat up he should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.

Wyllow3 Sun 04-May-25 12:30:28

We have a thread specifically running on this already in news and politics

"Trump as Pope"

AGAA4 Sun 04-May-25 12:23:17

He is incapable of decency and integrity.

Jackiest Sun 04-May-25 12:12:00

When I think he has reached the bottom he always manages to find somewhere lower.
