Does anyone else think Trump has a point?

I am really worried about the idea of re-writing history to suit either left or right and am thinking Trump may have a point.

I would not want Nazis or the KKK marching in my town (I would want the organisations banned, if it were in my country) but surely we have to be even handed if people are breaking the law.

I think that just like Brexit, people have invested emotional support in Trump as well as intellectual, and as a result find it much harder to change position.

Brilliant, AlieOxon.
He was busy, wasn't he? Mind most of it was mopping up all the mistakes he'd made.
Not much intellectual support went into backing trump, whitewave. Not sure who I feel sorrier for, the US or the rest of us. We all have to put up with him.

Tillerson next to go?

Today if Dorothy met men with no brains, no heart and no courage, she wouldn't be in Oz.

She'd be in Politics

The blatant hypocrisy of this world and people just makes me laugh.smile

This seems to be the only trump thread at the moment....
slightly off the point, but have a look at this:

...seems to me he is looking fairly raddled here, about 30 years older than his tweet picture, and his comb-over isn't working!
