On the news today Trump and Infantino were talking.
I noticed that Trump had a new hat with a new slogan
"Trump was right about everything."

The man is unbelievable

Just saying you agree with something doesn’t actually validate it
That’s why lemmings follow each other off the cliff edge

We are allowed to agree with an opinion and to voice our own.
Why so antagonistic?

Gango Wed 12-Aug-26 16:34:56

I know you are and agree you should if you want to. I just meant it doesn’t add any validation
Just like lots of stupid people believe the moon is made of cheese. They are free to do so but it doesn’t actually mean the moon is made of cheese

Maybe you all need help. A lot of energy to spout a view not facts just your opinions
Get a grip and calm down

You are the only one calling people names and tell them to call down.

I always bring facts with proof, not opinions.

Gango Wed 12-Aug-26 16:41:24

Now you are just making things up
I didn’t call anyone names
And yes people should calm down - nothing wrong with that
Saying you agree with Bernie’s post has not brought any facts
So are you just making things up again?

If the world could have packaged every single worst thing about a human and packed it into and ugly orange flabby carcass and given it lots of other peoples money to steal Trump would be the outcome. No class, no grace, no brain, no empathy, no sense, no care, a man who has never been loved for himself - there is nothing in that sack of ghastliness that is loveable - or loved anyone unless they can do something for him or he can abuse the power he has over them. He brought about the terrible public exposure of all that is appalling about America and humanity. There is no going back.

Beautifully put, Bernie!

Gransnet is comment and opinion rather than research based. You don't need to be brilliant to spot a bad 'un, like Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Trump but it sometimes takes a while for them to build their power and enough sycophants before they begin their killing sprees and we truly understand how terrible they are. The lemmings are those empowering dictators, voting for them and accepting jobs and privileges from them. Looking at the state of the world, maybe we're all lemmings. Thank you for your post BerneyMayall, I do agree with you though I think that Trump is probably evil and cunning rather than stupid. I'm always amazed at how 'good' narcissists are at manipulating and confusing people, no matter how stupid they seem. Let's hope that it's only 4 years and that the next President is not a Trump family member, a sycophant or worse.

Gango, should you "calm down"?

Why did you think Bernie was not calm when stating his sincere opinion of the criminal?

Just a reminder that we can see your previous posts, where you called us all stupid and lemmings.

I believe I read that the lemmings story is a myth!

Only 5 total posts on GN for Gango. So aggressive for being so new.

Trump is very like a relative of mine. My relative has
Borderline Personality disorder.

Maremia Wed 12-Aug-26 17:18:21

Well said, Bernie.

Fallingstar Wed 12-Aug-26 17:20:24

It is quite incredible imho that anyone anywhere could argue against people having a poor opinion of Trump. But it just goes to show that at 77 years old I can still be surprised.

Ladyleftfieldlover Wed 12-Aug-26 17:20:45

I'm with Bernie. Apparently trump is the first President in living memory who has never had a pet. Says it all.

One of the best descriptions of Trump I think I have read to date.

For Gango -- "somewhat deranged"? NO -- if you are disagreeing in ANY WAY with Bernie's comment, which is entirely accurate but doesn't go far enough, then it's YOU that your comment applies to.
As for that snide "lemmings" comeback of yours, you'd be the lemming if you think that Chump has ANY redeeming qualities.
There IS - though you seem blissfully unaware -- not just a little evidence but an absolute tsunami, that the Orange Baboon is a racist, sexist fraud, conman and blatantly habitual liar.

BUT - perhaps you support a President who's 'survived' 2 fake assassination attempts, one who started his own personal Gestapo (ICE) able to murder innocent citizens with no apparent legal redress, and a pa*doph*le who must be mentioned on thousands of pages of the Epstein files, judged by how far his own 'promise' (haha) to release them has gone over the target date?

An ongoing disgrace has been his repeated claims about “stolen election" – something his fact-free voters seem to lap up. As all but one (?) of over 60 lawsuits by Chump's legal teams, trying to prove electoral fraud, got thrown out for "lack of evidence", including in courts with GOP supporter judges, EVEN judges appointed by Chump himself, just HOW is this "fraud" nonsense allowed to go unchallenged???

And -- was it THREE attempted suits, in the Supreme Court that has that famous GOP bias, all got thrown out too?? And you expect your hero to be taken seriously, by voters with a second brain cell?

PLUS, just the other day he was complaining that the judge who had halted his East Wing project was appointed by Obama or Biden, therefore of course 'biased' (there are clear laws stating that White House work is under the control of Congress, not a President -- it belongs to the country). Sadly the reporters present didn't have the wit to point out the irony of such a claim, when some of HIS judges had NOT supported the "stolen election" lawsuits?!

I very much doubt that he is stupid. Something else is going on and everyone is too busy ranting to notice. I don't know what he's up to, but he may well be very intelligent. I actually don't think anyone could get to where he is by being totally stupid. Also he's started to do some useful things such as question the vaccines that so many brave and reputable scientists and doctors have been speaking out against for ages, often losing their livelihoods and obviously never being interviewed on the censored mainstream media.

Gango Wed 12-Aug-26 18:01:34

I sort of guessed that a few home truths would bring the nutters out. Must be foaming at the mouth that someone disagrees with your insane rant

Gango Wed 12-Aug-26 18:02:28

At last a balanced viewpoint- well done you

JaneJudge Wed 12-Aug-26 18:05:03

I'm afraid the nutters have brang you gango

Maremia Wed 12-Aug-26 18:14:42

How are Trump's ratings just now? Would be interesting to see if USA citizens 'validate' his policies just now?

Maremia Wed 12-Aug-26 18:15:57

Yes, the vaccines. How many new cases of measles have there been recently?

Well said, Bernie. Excellent description of a totally abhorrent individual. 😡

33% Maremia. That makes sense since he was elected by just 1/3 of the registered voters in the United States. That 33% is moving more MAGA in their voting habits, based on the recent Primary results all over the country.

Scroll down and it has a chart.
