Trump and May

Funnily enough, I think that if they met, they would get on really well.?

I was just thinking today, of all the countries which are supposed to be Trump's main 'friends', the UK is the only one he hasn't visited.
Special relationship?

Perhaps he senses that he wouldn't be very welcome here, Tricia.

So special that he uses us as a firing range for his rockets.
I hope Kim Jong-Un doesn't do the same.
Of course, trump owns golf courses in Scotland, but I think he would still have to get May's agreement.

What's that thread about the end of the world?

"Perhaps he senses that he wouldn't be very welcome here, Tricia."
I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the Royals - the Queen would have to meet him and I can imagine Phillip's reaction.
Wasn't TM the first to go to see him and issue the invitation?

For those who miss Obama.

You need to read down to the bottom for the Biden Memes.

Climate change research in trump's own backyard. Fortunately researchers don't have to rely on trump for funding.

It sounds very interesting, and shows we can do something to reverse the effects.

Has anyone read Rushdies new book? “The Golden House”

I think it is worth a read, and will throw some light various topics such as identity/gender issues. There is a breakdown of trust, which he explores. A look at the concept of the elite.

It covers the Obama period up Trumps election.

Still got a couple of Naomi Klein's to read and I'm halfway through A World without Bees.
Haven't got time for another book yet.
I suppose if I stopped posting on gransnet I'd have more time....

I read somewhere that a psychologist/psychiatrist considers Trump to be in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

He is certainly in the stages of something

Hope he's got healthcare!

This is slightly worrying.

London is closer to North Korea than Los Angeles.

Trump appears to be a man of relatively little brain. Some have said that he is not a successful businessman - he'd be worth more money if he'd given his inheritance over to someone to invest on the stock exchange.
The recent slapping of tariffs on Bombadier, which may lead to thousands of job losses in N Ireland, is a little sample of what it would be like being a minnow trying to strike a trade deal with a shark.

There's a thought. If Rees-Mogg becomes PM, he'll be able to get close to trump and invest all his money for him. All at arm's length, of course, nothing too illegal.
Or do you think trump is too far below him on the social scale?

Everyone’s below JRM except perhaps the pope and God.
