Trump plumbs new depths

Someone on facebook tried to diffuse this by saying that it was aimed at someone who had used being a native american to get free scholarships when she was white, not sure how right this person was

I m in full agreement here with all of the comments. It beggars belief that he was elected and is a sad indictment of American views. Elizabeth Warren said, shortly after he was elected "it's not about educating Donald Trump, it's about educating the American people.

Nevertheless, I am frustrated that despite all of the negativity surrounding this awful man, he's still there.

Another example that came up on my Facebook:

goose1964 That was an allegation made against Elizabeth Warren - that she had got a job with Harvard through affirmative action. Harvard have put out a statement making it clear that they head hunted her because she was a specialist in the field and that she was not employed under affirmative action so it is a false allegation but the Republicans still parrot it.

I agree with radicalnan. I don't hold any candle for Trump but long before he came to the public notice in relation to the US presidency I was already sick of half the country calling the other half 'racist', 'fascist', 'bigot' every time something was said out of their polemic comfort zone. Usually the recipient of the accusation was some innocent and perfectly decent person who did not deserve to be abused thus.

When James Bartholomew coined the phrase 'virtue signalling' in the 'Spectator' on the 18th April I recognised the concept immediately as it is a sort of 'get your defence/abuse in first' measure.

The problem with outspoken abuse is that it drives dissent underground. British people with manners do not 'call the impolite out' on their lack of manners. They say nothing but act when they get the chance. This is, I am sure, what motivated the two consecutive election results and that of the referendum. I am sure something of the same sort was going on in America when the abused 'red neck' and 'flyover state' constituents had a chance to act against their continual abuse by the liberal elite.

So, I suggest, if we don't want Trump, or Brexit or any other extremity we should try to act like well mannered and rational peple who give credence to the views of others.

Try turning it on its head. I know DT meant it as an insult, but I'd be very proud to be of Native American descent.

Give credence to the views of DT - that is a joke isn’t it? What view exactly would that be? It’s fine to grab women by the pussy , there are fine people who are neo- Nazis?

He’s done it again - retweeted incendiary videos including anti-Moslem rant by Jayda Fransen ( deputy leader of Britain First). The man is absolutely both evil and stupid - a deadly combination

And here is the little charmer - tends to finish her speeches with God save the Queen.

Sorry, I’m not on Twitter, are you actually telling us that DT retweeted this woman’s rant?! The President of the US?! Why is he still there? Should/could he not be impeached?

The man who murdered Jo Cox was a BF supporter. A Brexit minister on World at One tried to excuse DT by saying he didn’t know anything about BF and anyway we must separate the man from the office. This is the man who er tweets as the POTUS. BF are delighted with DT’s retweeting of course. Twitter should take his account down( and theirs)

Unbelievable. Or would be if it wasn’t DT.

Vile vile man and while free speech is still allowed I ll shout it from the rooftops he doesn’t deserve to breath the same air as most people

This vile man DT should be removed, one way or another before he does something disastrous.

I am astounded and disappointed that posters would come on here and stick up for Donald Trump. It took my breath away.

Lilyflower in the 8 years of the Obama presidency the racial slurs never stopped. In fact, they started long before he became president got to the White House and remember Trump only renounced his claim Obama wasn't born in the US last year. Even then he tried to blame Hilary for starting the allegations.

I am disgusted.

BF?

Britain First

Or maybe Bloody Fascists or Bigoted F***ers

Thanks, meliza. I just came across something on Twitter that made me understand what it meant too. BF in my world has always been a reference to breastfeeding ?

Bags ?

No 10 has condemned DT. Well done that woman

radicalnan I know what you mean, in that we all hear and see stories about Trump constantly, so to reguritate them on here ad nauseum gets boring, he is crass as a man, a total newbie as a politician etc etc but enough is enough.

lemongrove are you baiting posters? Adding the grin smiley to the end of your post implies you are.

Not at all Wilma it means for me that I never want to hear another crazy or stupid thing that he says again.

Thanks for clearing that up lemongrove, although sadly unless Trump's advisers manage to confiscate every mobile phone or device he has so he can't tweet, and he stops going off script when speaking in public, I can't see this happening any time soon.

He must be a nightmare for his staff.
