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.

Hmmmm; thought he'd gone a bit quiet.....

whitewave Thu 01-Jun-17 17:28:22

Perhaps he has been in league with Russia over Brexit?

This is worrying. While we are tied up with the election, trump can do what he likes.

"Angela #Merkel says #Europe can No Longer rely on US or UK - and must 'fight for its own destiny' Breaking NEWS @ 2020.fm/4MxR "

I have never heard that the UK is not trustworthy, Merkel did not - would not mention Trump and Brexit together.

Brexit has not yet broken and as a physisist she deals with facts. She said that concerning the other things like environment protection and fighting terrorism that the Uk is still involved with the Eu and other states.

Another one quits. It's believed Spicer will be next.

Re the direct line to Russia, ww I thought it was just that he was known to have tried to get one.

durhamjen Mon 29-May-17 22:47:16

I think he acted like that on purpose.

Norah Mon 29-May-17 20:57:55

He is American. grin www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4551896/Trump-acted-like-tacky-drunk-tourist-abroad.html

Prolly tax free cash. Getting what they deserve across the pond.

durhamjen Mon 29-May-17 19:27:53

Money.

whitewave Mon 29-May-17 19:25:04

So Kushner opened up a private direct line to the Russians. The question is why?

I have just read that the good thing about trump is that he makes Brits look good abroad.

durhamjen Sun 28-May-17 18:53:06

Do you think he'll sack his son in law?

whitewave Sun 28-May-17 18:25:43

I reckon that the noose is tightening. It is really up to the skills of the intelligence community including MI6 (if they are still talking to each other!) and whether the Russians have covered their track well.

I think it is looking almost unquestionable that Trump is up to his neck.

rosesarered Sun 28-May-17 18:18:44

No, not really, more an idle thought grin

whitewave Sun 28-May-17 18:12:42

rose you think?

rosesarered Sun 28-May-17 18:09:44

So much ( on Trump) seems to just vanish away after a while though, perhaps he will come to be known as Teflon Trump.

AlieOxon Sun 28-May-17 18:02:14

I think we've got ourselves out on a limb here.....

durhamjen Sun 28-May-17 17:17:33

BBC says she said US and UK after Brexit.

durhamjen Sun 28-May-17 17:16:13

Wow, Margaret. What happens now?
