Apologies if there is a new Trump thread, but the only one I could find had hit the magic 1000 posts mark.
Just seen this on Facebook. Makes excellent sense.

See he was on a charm offensive in the two houses yesterday. He has to take the republicans with him or else he's sunk. They sounded pathetically gullible I thought. Leopards and spots spring to mind!

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 17:27:57

Do you really expect the media to ignore him?

rosesarered Sun 26-Feb-17 17:09:17

I expect that somebody is paid to read it for him! grin

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 17:06:14

grin yes -like he reads Gransnet

rosesarered Sun 26-Feb-17 17:04:39

'Why, Rose'
Because there has just been chat about denying Trump publicity.

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 17:01:33

I dont want to dj.
It is whitewave's idea.

And she is never going to in a month of sundays.

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:54:32

Why rose?

rosesarered Sun 26-Feb-17 16:53:06

Well, you could all start by ending this thread.

durhamjen Sun 26-Feb-17 16:42:41

You start, Ankers.

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 16:39:30

I think actually you are right.
But it is never going to happen. Quite the opposite. And so his fame and notoriety rises.

Gransnet posters cant manage to even ignore the plimsoll poster.

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 16:38:26

I think the way to deal with trumpty is to ignore him - he seems to feed on publicity

How about gransnet posters start first?

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 16:37:38

We won't know what is fake and what isn'

Why ever not?
What rubbish!

Ankers Sun 26-Feb-17 16:36:45

if anybody looked, they will see that my past post had to be a crosspost

DJ and WW The words 'poor' and 'Melania' do not belong in the same sentence! To be fair, though, she signed up to be married to a rich man, not a man who is head of state of a powerful nation and is becoming a object of fear for many. I do wonder if she is overwhelmed by all this. It is much more in-your-face than NYC society. No more anonymity.

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:27:00

Poor Melanie - she's married to trumpty dumpy - yuk, yuk yuk,

durhamjen Sun 26-Feb-17 16:23:48

Poor Melania. Missing out on the Oscars.

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:22:49

lew he'll record and watch it. It is what he gets off on.

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:21:35

I really must remember to put the persons name down. That post was to dj

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:20:48

Oh! I missed that what was that on?

Lewlew Sun 26-Feb-17 16:20:24

Whitewave On Oscars Night Trump is having a Governors' Ball (for governors of US states) not to be confused with the Academy’s official post-Oscars® celebration.

So his guests will be busy with his event... but will he be busy tweeting against all the speeches from the Oscars? I never watch the Oscars, mostly because I don't go to the cinema. Sound systems hurt my ears.

durhamjen Sun 26-Feb-17 16:17:22

A lot of the actors had their say yesterday, whitewave. Maybe the idea is to ignore him. They'll be on Sky, anyway,so no watching that.

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:10:48

I think the way to deal with trumpty is to ignore him - he seems to feed on publicity. The Oscars will be his next big triumph

whitewave Sun 26-Feb-17 16:08:50

daphgrin

durhamjen Sun 26-Feb-17 16:08:47

Add a few ****?!

Ana Sun 26-Feb-17 16:08:43

Especially as it wasn't even replying to one of your posts, Ankers! confused
