He never gives up being stupid.

As for making things up Gango, lemmings do not follow one another jumping off a cliff.

And now Karoline Leavitt is leaving the sinking ship.
Strange timing. Just back from maternity leave.

If you can see my posts the reread them properly. I mentioned about lemmings jumping off a cliff.
If you see yourself as a lemming it doesn’t mean I have called you one

He is definitely not the American Dream.
He is the American Nightmare.
I imagine Stephen King would be hard pressed to create an odious character like Trump.

I bet he could try. Stephen King could do it but he needs to be carefully he would get sued! 😂

Really Gango? DO please let us all know how your "nutters" & "insane rant" matches up to your previous plaintive "I haven't insulted anyone"?

Meanwhile 1) please also tell us how his campaign promise to "end the Ukraine War on day 1" matches up to breaking the Budapest treaty (guaranteeing Ukraine safety against aggressors, not snuggling up to war criminals)?

2) How does his "no new wars" campaign promise match up to his ludicrous attack on Iran, which has enraged most of the planet with its knock-on effects on oil & fertiliser prices? (I'll let you justify incinerating 170 or so Iranian schoolgirls, as that seems to be what you like in a leader).

3) With his constant attacks on immigrants, perhaps you can tell us why in his first campaign his winery interests in California were trying to bring in MORE Mexican labour, not reduce it?

4) Perhaps you have some medical expertise, in which case perhaps you can advise how the top part of his ear, shot off in the alleged assassination attempt in 2024, has mysteriously grown back (evidenced in many subsequent pictures and press conferences)?

5) Given his many speeches criticising previous Presidents for being soft on crime and immigrants, perhaps you can enlighten everyone -- it's a real mystery -- why he pardoned a drugs ganglord from a 45 year jail term? Or his pardons for over a thousand MAGA fans rightfully jailed for assorted treason offences at the Capitol in Jan 2021?

6) And just to finish, for now, perhaps you could give us all some insight into what he meant when he said that he had "never visited Epstein's Island" -- but had also claimed that he'd "seen Clinton there 29 times"? As you're SUCH a fan, you might know?

I don’t like descriptions about orange flabby people. I would never support Trump but insults like this put you right down or below what you think he is. I am also surprised that those I thought were intelligent people would support this description. To repeat, I am not and never will be a Trump supporter.

Trump has a niece, Mary Trump who spent time with Uncle Donald while growing up. Mary is a psychologist and has publicly spoken about him and has written several books explaining how he ended up so psychologically damaged. Apparently, DJT's mother was seriously ill for much of his early childhood. His father paid little attention to him and didn't show any affection. DJT has been spending his whole life trying to prove he's lovable. This has led to other things like never being content with what he's accomplished and needing to be totally in charge. His father caused this too because DJT could never be good enough to please his Dad. It's a sad situation. Too bad we have to suffer for it.

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

I think you are baiting members on here by using such derogatory language. You might argue that members are using derogatory language about Trump, but he’s a world leader and unlikely to read a thread on GN but you are making personal comments about people on here whom I have become familiar with on News&Politics, and so feel I can vouch for their informed and intelligent posts.
I don’t know you at all and think you must be new on here, yet you come barging in with highly aggressive and rather nasty posts.
You are welcome to your opinion but not to your patronising bile.

Maremia

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

Lots
I work in a college and there are lots of outbreaks so the staff have been vaccinated as well

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.

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

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

I agree too.

I can’t make up my mind whether he’s a megalomaniac narcissist, or a narcissistic megalomaniac.
Anyway, one or the other.

FB is awash with extremely anti-Trump posts, mini cartoons etc, some of them very funny, but all hard hitting and all apparently from Americans.

Yes I remember reading about the flu debilitating some of the military.
I would class stopping that vaccine as being 'stupid'.

RFK is backtracking on his vaccine stance, by the way.

So did the US Military.

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.

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

I'm afraid the nutters have brang you gango

At last a balanced viewpoint- well done you

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

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.

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

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.
