Visit of Trump

True maryeliza
I don’t think he’s going anywhere else any time soon.

What’s that saying about ‘keeping your friends close and your enemies closer?’ or something?

I honestly don’t think we should protest at his visit. But that’s just my opinion.

No I mean I can’t be bothered - I could do the research but what difference woukd it make?

I was born in Portsmouth. ‘Not a lot of people know that’.

To quote the late great Eric Morecambe.

?

A truly devious man who is hated as much by my American friend and her husband as by me . They could not believe how he was voted President. They have to live in that country with such a terrible person ‘in charge’ Our Queen has to put up with entertaining him . There is no comparison between them. I really feel for her, but no doubt she will remain calm about it,,at least in public.

Ughhhhhh imagine being close to DT. .

Ha! Yes maryeliza I hadn’t thought of that!

There is support for Hilary Clinton ???

Urmstongean I'm with you all the way.

Don't ever 'talk' to me like that.
Next time I'm reporting you.
I made a comment about a post which made no sense. So? It wasn't to you and I don't have to explain myself to you.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

123coco A couple of words you missed out 'grab' and 'pussy'.

The Queen should not have to do this unpleasant duty at her age. She is a most dutiful woman!

I’m sorry Trump will visit you and again I’m sure, embarrass our country. He separated children at the border and no one knows or documented which child belong to whom. We have another border with Canada that is longer and less secure but he only wants to stop people fleeing from crime in their country.
He has stopped regulations in industry and it’s horrible for the climate.
We of the middle class all paid higher taxes this year so the 1% could keep their money. The economy is good because Obama bailed out the banks . The good economy started before Trump was elected. He asked his people to lie for him and now there is talk of impeachment. Our healthcare stinks, he has made the deficit the largest ever in our country( in the trillions) He has made it okay to hate and bully and won’t put down the hate groups. His Easter speech to children was about HIM and politics. He is a disgusting man who cares only about his narcisstic self. I could go on and on but have taken up enough space here. Luckily the queen will have him here Ashley time. We are stuck another year and a half.

Do you really think he will get or wants s second term?

I really hope not.

Don’t get my hopes up mycat

Like many of you I am irked that this offensive man will come to my local city Portsmouth for the 5th June to send off the veterans, as a draft dodger he really is the very last person to appear at such an important, and the last one for these old old men, to celebrate their and their mates sacrifice 75 years ago.

I will be present but will not protest since it could so easily be misconstrued, but we will also be back for the greater celebrations on the following weekend once POTUS has potused off back to the USA

‘We don’t want to see Trump in Portsmouth’ says city’s Leader on news of President’s visit

I am in such a bad temper over him coming to Portsmouth since my 94 year old father-in-law is coming especially for June 5th events and now it will be ruined!

I really do hope not, Edith - this is about much more than Trump. He is just a blip in the passage of time.

Part of me thinks the alternative to Trump is the odious Hilary Clinton. I felt so sorry for the Americans having to choose between those two nasties. Remember, left wing Clinton is our left wing Emily Thornberry with her hatred of the common man with a white van. Clinton called people who didn't vote for her "deplorables" - and she is still doing it (see link) suggesting the middle class vote for her is worth more than the ones from voters in poor states.

It all really is quite nasty on the left and on the right in the USA.

Like Urmston I think we have to accept that we have received some rather dubious characters from all over the world in the past and given them the honour of a state visit and time with the Queen.

To deny Trump the same honour would be stupid and dangerous imo. America is our ally. There may be a d**k***d in the White House, but whatever he is, he is the POTUS.

I don't like the man at all, but I'd be extremely embarrassed for us as a nation if we made the visit hellish. We'd also be snubbing the American people, the majority of whom wanted to see him become President.

People don't seem to care about discretion any more, but I think it's needed here. A protest, heckling and throwing will serve no purpose whatsoever, except to serve as a day out for yet more right-on virtue-signallers.

I shall hiss at him when he appears on my TV screen from the comfort of my armchair.

Yep he’s a big sorry blip! Agree this is about the D Day landings. I don’t think anyone will disrupt that.

I know that once you are president you are basically made for life so I wonder if he would want w second term??

Of course all the bowing and scraping must get inside your head.

I am not a monarchist but how does the queen stay so normal!!!

I know if I had had that life from birth I would be a nightmare

Day6 yes, it is truly astonishing that, in country of about 324 million people, these two are the best that they can come up with.

I don't think that the vast majority wanted him to become President, though. He got fewer votes than Hillary and we don't know what the non-voters think.

I think it was rather against Hillary rather than pro Donald.

Wasn’t Bernie Saunders the better option

I trust that people 'saying' that they hate Donald Trump, are not churchgoers.
That would not be a good idea.
As for talking about mooning and farting...er...how old is the average GNer?
I have honestly been quite taken aback by some of the language used on GN.
Whether it's seen as more acceptable because it's online and not said aloud in public or at home, I have no idea but it's not language I or my friends use.

Gabriella, you are fast becoming the GN wrist-slapper.

The lovely thing about GN is the diversity. Posters don't have to have one style of writing or limit their vocabulary - because most of us wouldn't use the internet if we were offended so easily. Most of us are not easily shocked and whilst some language may be offensive, not much is, in truth. We'd be violating T&Cs if we really let rip (and no reference to farting intended there.)

You are entitled to your protest though, and your opinions, just as others may think mooning at Trump might serve a purpose.

I am often cheered up by the views of others, who are more blunt or may see things in a very different light.

"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector" Luke 18:11

It must be nice to be perfect.

I agree Elegran but we have no real idea as to whether the POTUS thinks he's perfect. I very much doubt it.
I think he does what he deems best...in a scatty way, after all, he wasn't born into money and he's done very nicely thank you.
He's more like the common man than a lot of our ministers who are the sort despised by some voters on here.
We can't be judgemental...now can we?
That's frowned on by most GNers.
