I know, it hardly seems possible does it but here you go.

Not only is it another racist comment about Elizabeth Warren but to do it at an event honouring Navajo veterans would beggars belief (if it weren’t Trump that is).

Especially as the story we were all told about Pocahontas is now thought to be a myth. Sounds like Trump refers to Elizabeth Warren as if she is the Disney version.

Well I’m quite capable of feeling ire for both - it’s not an either/ or.

I don't think it was Mr Trump himself who more or less massacred the Native American/Indian race and stole their land but it was actually quite a few of our British ancestors who had a hand in that. No awards will rectify that. I save my anger for them.

But lemon we have to hear what he tweets/says because we have to judge and decide what sort of relationship we want or rather don’t want with him. Well no visit here at least now or probably ever. I just heard the full statement from No 10- very clear indeed ‘he was wrong’

Vile!!! Can not abide this nasty vile racist excuse of a man! How Trump (,right name) became president beggars belief! The more people who shout out against this vile behaviour the better!

Did you hear what his spokesperson said re at least one of the videos being false - something like it doesn’t matter whether the video was real or not, the threat is real.

I do not think this tweet story is "media hype" radicalnan - it is there for all to see. Or do you think a media outlet has planted this and it is not from DT.

Just because other countries (and indeed our own) have perpetrated things to be ashamed of does not mean that this appalling human being (?) should be left to proceed without protest.

I feel quite sick reading this.

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.

lemongrove Wed 29-Nov-17 17:10:40

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

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 29-Nov-17 17:08:57

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

lemongrove Wed 29-Nov-17 17:04:52

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.grin

maryeliza54 Wed 29-Nov-17 17:01:17

No 10 has condemned DT. Well done that woman

maryeliza54 Wed 29-Nov-17 17:00:02

Bags ?

Baggs Wed 29-Nov-17 16:53:28

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 ?

maryeliza54 Wed 29-Nov-17 16:36:24

Or maybe Bloody Fascists or Bigoted F***ers

maryeliza54 Wed 29-Nov-17 16:35:26

Britain First

Baggs Wed 29-Nov-17 16:22:49

BF?

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 29-Nov-17 15:46:27

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.

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

BlueBelle Wed 29-Nov-17 14:43:03

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

Overthehills Wed 29-Nov-17 14:27:27

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

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)

Overthehills Wed 29-Nov-17 14:03:51

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?

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

maryeliza54 Wed 29-Nov-17 13:18:40

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
