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.

It was Trump himself who boasted during the election campaign that he could shoot someone in the street in New York and people would still vote for him.

Sadly, he was right. What does that say about his supporters??

Flippin 'eck Trisha. Mind you, as one of my sons in law said, incredulously during the US election campaign, this man could shoot someone in Manhatten and his supporters would say the victim deserved it.

They're brainwashed....

I don't know how he's going to get round this one:

But they don't seem to care in the USA.

So do I!

If only Batman would arrive and rescue the world from the evil trump.

Iam64 Wed 12-Jul-17 18:34:58

In fact, I've heard some Trump supporters interviewed on radio 4 news about this. The consensus, it's left wingers whinging because they list the election and the media, blowing it all out of proportion. Increasingly, I feel I'm living in a Batman movie, with Trump as the villain who mesmerised America.

I fear you're right varian.

I wish I could believe that Trump's misguided supporters would pay attention, but I suspect that the deluded fools, if they even hear of it, will label it "fake news"

Would this be classed as the famous smoking gun?

AlieOxon Wed 12-Jul-17 16:36:01

Duh.

AlieOxon Wed 12-Jul-17 16:35:40

It's all completely ok, as they didn't get any information anyway.

durhamjen Tue 11-Jul-17 22:05:56

Yes, I did, but apparently trump junior and Kushner didn't read them!
So that makes ot okay, then, and we all believe them, don't we?

whitewave Tue 11-Jul-17 21:38:34

Saw in passing today that emails now go back directly to the Kremlin did you see that?

durhamjen Tue 11-Jul-17 21:17:57

But Donald senior didn't know anything about it, did he?
That's what he says anyway. No tweets about it? No emails gone missing?
I bet the forensic computer people are looking into that as quickly as he tries to hide it.
Gets you all excited again, doesn't it?

whitewave Tue 11-Jul-17 17:43:41

Treason is being mentioned.

I suppose if you go for help to an alien government in an election. then it would almost certainly would be treason.

whitewave Tue 11-Jul-17 09:15:46

This presidency is a total mess. It hasn't done a single thing that could be classed as worthwhile, nor add to the benefit of the world.

How many prospective governmental candidates would you expect to go to Russia for help in winning?

durhamjen Tue 11-Jul-17 07:51:36

I wonder how trump will get out of this. Both son and son-in-law have important positions.

Trump and Putin denied it at G20 meeting. I think they should have just kept quiet.

durhamjen Fri 07-Jul-17 23:50:34

If you really want to know what went on in the meeting, read John Crace.

Had to send in Melania to separate them.

Talked about great things; had lots of talks and they are going to have even more great talks.
Couldn't hear a word they were saying in the video because of the noise of all the cameras.

Lewlew Fri 07-Jul-17 18:43:58

ROFL!!! grin Actually Trump looked too big for the chairs they used, or was he just sitting on the edge? Wonder what 2 hours behind closed doors 'stuff' he managed to talk about... they were not actually alone. Translators would have been needed, along with a Sec Svc protection detail for Trump.

durhamjen Fri 07-Jul-17 18:40:01

Trump meets Putin.
