Donald Adolf Hitler Trump

At least Starmer did stand up and tell him that he cannot take over another country. But really , why isnt every single country gathering together to inform him in no uncertain terms that his threats are totally unacceptable and that he will not be allowed to behave in this way?.

Or perhaps Trump would understand it a bit better if everyone announced that they were going to claim the USA. Of course , in fact Britain could say that they are going to reclaim it ! Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. Trump seems to think, in the same way as Hitler, that might is right, that he can just lay claim to another country for everyone to allow him to continue.
Well Donald,
even if you choose not to look at it, we know what such attitudes lead to, and we do not have short memories. Whilst I know it is not easy to be sure where everything comes from , at least we could all do our best, not to buy anything from america, and if we could get everyone in all the countries he is planning to charge to do the same, perhaps if americans were hit in their pockets , they might look at what is happening. If they are not interested in justice and fairness, then perhaps being hit in their own pockets might get them to look at where Trump is taking them.

Actually it is Norway. But it is not the government it is an independent committee.

Norway does not award Nobel prizes. He confused it with Sweden.

Good job that you two aren’t our PM or Cabinet then, how about diplomacy?

Oreo, you are an apologist for Trump on here. So how can you say we need to be diplomatic, when DT behaves like a 12 month old throwing his toys out of the pram?
Just because they have the best equipment & technology for warfare in the world, doesn't mean that they are better than the rest of the world, How many down-on-their luck American citizens have been abandoned to despair & succumbed to entirely treatable illnesses to devote all that money to "defence"? (offence as it now turns out).
GDP from a (sorry quick, not checked) google - USA is less than 0.1% of global GDP.Their population is 0.014 % of global population.They do NOT dominate the world, & the fact that Trump believes so noisily that they do, shouldn't make us scared to make common cause with the rest of the world & resist him & his bullying,

And has he made their lives better? Not according to many of the polls, where his popularity is, as they say, below water.
He does not wish to lose the mid terms.
He is going beyond the bounds of normal Presidents of the USA

Our PM is in a similar position regarding polls with multiple local elections this May.

Hopefully one of our American Gransnetters will come along and tell us what it would take to remove President Trump.

Yes Freya, build those bridges. Rejoin the EU.

Starmer has as much effect on this as a whistle in the wind.
Greenland belongs to Greenlanders, and Denmark, under which inuit children sterilised to keep the community down. Charming.
Chagos Isands belong to Chargossians, Starmer selling them off to mauritius, who have never owned them, and we have to pay.
He's giving out messages to Putin, who is threatening us with obliteration. Think he should concentrate on building bridges in our back yard not others. As for the ridiculous analogy with Hitler, really. Hard up for analogies here. Now Putin I could see some resemblance.

He was elected because voters were led to believe that he would make their lives better.

As is every President or Government including our own…

He is much worse than he was last time. He does not appear to be getting 'better'. Because of the power of the USA, the situation is dangerous, for all of us.
I don't mind, high or low, as long as something hits the mark.

Galaxy Mon 19-Jan-26 18:18:44

Yes I am afraid the Trump threads often remind me why he did win which i assume isn't the aim.
Perhaps that is the German in me though grin

GrannyGravy13 Mon 19-Jan-26 18:13:57

MaizieD yes I have.

I am just uncomfortable with armchair diagnosis of what is a serious medical condition, whether that is dementia, Alzheimer’s or any other mental disorder.

As for the name calling, I would rather leave that to POTUS.

When others go low it’s best to go high, not join them in the depths.

I am not a fan of the current POTUS

I do find the incessant name calling of him on here along with claims regarding his mental capacity rather unnecessary.

Have you actually read his message to the Danish PM?

It is a form of elder abuse, that he is not being helped and treated properly.
But, to do so, too many vested interests would lose power.

Unless you are a qualified medical professional you are just assuming that POTUS has dementia.

He may be irrational, but he was in his first term and the American people still re-elected him.

And he did 'ace' those tests he described. How do we know? He told us so.

Smileless2012 Mon 19-Jan-26 17:19:54

Precisely GG no tests he may have undergone do not have to legally mandated so a waste of time really.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 19-Jan-26 17:14:41

Just checked this is what I found 🤷‍♀️

If Trump has dementia, GG13, it is very important to be aware of that.
If he has dementia, he will not get better.

Sadly I am well aware of the dangers of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

I thought candidates for POTUS have to undergo a rigorous medical evaluation before they can stand.

What I can't understand is why? On news yesterday ( sorry not sure what channel either BBC1 or Sky) there was someone on from the Greenland Government and he said they, USA, already have unlimited access to Greenland have numerous military bases there and are welcome to drill for oil and other things, so why does he need to cause all this mayhem , he is a megalomaniac?

CoolCoco Mon 19-Jan-26 15:46:12

The note to Norway is unhinged. We know he often says one thing then forgets about it/says something completely contradictory . Lets just hope he doesn't send in the gunboats.

Fallingstar Mon 19-Jan-26 15:40:56

Is Trump’s verbal incontinence being used by those pulling his strings in the US to act as a safety net so that if things go hideously wrong Trump will be the fall guy, not them.
