Donald’s 80th Birthday Event

Of course this 250th anniversary is about so much more than the ego and whims of Trump though he might well attempt to make it very much 'about him' one way or another.

Because our histories are so intertwined, there are events and exhibitions etc taking place here in the UK too.

I'd just like to see the whole spectacle of it, and watch Trumpty Dumpty revelling in it all.
He is such a ridiculous caricature of a human.

Wrong link.

These are the things I need to celebrate first. Who wants to join me? It can be an adventure.

imaround Janis Ian, At Seventeen. I just had to go to listen to her again, I last saw her on TV when she was on The Old Grey Whistle Test.

... yes, a sort of 'world-weary' observer then!

It was apparently on Paramount+ which you have to pay to see, MissAdventure

On March 25 Trump bought shares in the company running it.

Oh well, I won't be watching, then.

I'm sure there will be news about it - or maybe a YouTube video or two?

Can't see British channels buying it though!

Yes, it'll leak out, no doubt.
Oh,, I can just see him posturing and preening... eurgh!

People dislike the man so much I am actually beginning to like him …oppositional syndrome. Have to think he is ‘different’ and won’t be forgotten in a hurry. Only in America ….

To 'like' him, you would perhaps also have to accept his alleged listings in the Epstein Files, the fact that he has been found guilty of SA, the fact that he is a convicted felon.

Winner gave Trump his medal.

How typically crass of the Donald to have a cage fight on the White House lawn to celebrate his birthday. The man has no class not to mention many other deficiencies.

Yes. I was 80 in January. My two daughters took me for a night in a nice hotel in Richmond with a meal at a nice restaurant and a trip to the cinema. On my actual birthday my husband took me out to lunch.

What is a cage fight? I don't like the sound of it.

Estrella it is two men fighting in a large link-wire cage. It is, allegedly, quite a sophisticated form of fighting with lots of different techniques and skills involved.

Your birthday celebrations sound really enjoyable. Much nicer and more civilised than Trumps.

Two people in a cage, fighting.
Well, supposedly demonstrating their mixed martial arts skills, and with evenly matched opponents, and good a good referee, that's what will happen.

It doesn't take much for things to go awry, though.

My 80th is in October… nothing planned. Eldest son and grandchildren live in Japan, other son busy in London. Best friends already died. But happy enough. Will likely have a meal with a few remaining friends? Or not…?

For Trump’s birthday BASH! It was exactly that, so typical,
Yuck. Vulgar Thug!

Haha unlikely but apparently there is a planned invasion of trans and gay people shrouded in rainbow flags. I read they're buying up as, many tickets as possible.

For Casdon, and that " I hope that Trump is paying for it, not the long suffering taxpayers." . . . . . .SOOOOOO funny!

The chances of that classless conman and pervert paying for the event are about as likely as one of us winning the Grand National, the Boat Race, and the Lottery on the same day.

Oh, PS, on another forum, one of his fans speculated that of the last 3 Presidents, Biden might have had a Mensa score (IQ) of 70, Obama 90, and Chump 160 (the author claimed to be in Mensa - I'd guess it was a struggle to merely spell it).

This drew some replies as to WHAT that '160' might actually represent for the Orange Baboon. One suggestion was that it could be the number of cans of hair lacquer they use in a week, another was that it's his average golf score (before allowances for wind, sun and cheating). A further opinion was that it's the number of full-time staff they have using marker pens to block the Chump name out of the Epstein files?

I’m 80 in July and am going on holiday with my family

DrWatson If Trump's IQ is 160 my name's Melania.

I had my 80th birthday earlier this year. 1946 was a very good year!!
Happy Birthday today for dragonfly, I hope you've enjoyed your special day.
Also Birthday wishes to you, NanKate, and all others as they celebrate their 80th this year. x

It’s more likely that Melania has an IQ of 160 than that her husband does I think. I wonder if she enjoyed the cage fighting, or was cringing like most of USA was.
