Trump and May

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

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?

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.

This is slightly worrying.

London is closer to North Korea than Los Angeles.

Hope he's got healthcare!

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

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....

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.

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.

For those who miss Obama.

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

"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?

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 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?

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

How about some Kim pills at the same time.

Someone needs to step up Trumps pills - hopefully until he is asleep

Oh! God - now NK threatening to drop a bomb above the Pacific!

Anyway, I didn't say I believed it, I said I'd read it.
It's in the i.
"In what some wags are likely to dub wishful thinking...."

I'd rather believe that than that trump has just fired a nuclear missile at North Korea - or vice versa.

Do you believe everything that you read durhamjen ?
Must make for an anxious life.?

I read today that trump is having drugs put in his drinks, just enough to slow him down, stop him thinking properly.
That could explain why he talks slowly and carefully to everyone as if they are idiots.

Trump a 'mentally deranged dotard', says Kim Jong Un (source: Huffington Post).

And for once I agree with him.
