Donald Trump - leader of the 'free' world!!!

He's saying the governors have the final say then undermining them by tweeting things like 'Free Virginia' and 'Free Michigan' thereby encouraging the anti-lockdown demonstrations.

He seems to have changed his ‘my authority is total’ stance now to leaving decisions to the state Governors. He must have realised by the former stance he would have to take the blame for any mistakes or bad news whereas by leaving decisions to Governors he can blame them but taking any credit of course.

I have a friend in Minnesota and she is keeping me informed of what is going on over there. It seems there isn’t much financial cushioning over there, people who have lost their employment have to claim unemployment benefit and use food banks so it isn’t surprising that so many people are supporting Trump’s call to ‘liberate’ their state. Apparently all adults have had a check for around $1000 and all children a check for around $500, that seems to be it so far.

The article was published March 8th, there's way worse to say about him presently I'm afraid- His briefings are rife with propaganda and lies- Every sentence, damn near ..

Jabba The Hutt is Mitch McConnell -- see image-

I'm not a fan of Obama- We never recovered from the last crisis, largely due to his inadequacies as a President-

Biden's chances of winning are slim- Progressives won't vote for him just like they didn't vote for Clinton-

He's even trying to usurp the positions of the medics, his latest motto, his " authority is total " , says it all.

Trump is a megalomaniac and like all megalomaniacs they can't/ don't want to see anything beyond the power that they hold.

Lucca thanks for sharing that perfect summary

Boris, Trump and Brexit are all intertwined. New Zealand shows there is a better way. Threads in Gransnet and other forums often go off subject for many reasons.

I thought this thread was about Donald Trump , not Boris Johnson, Brexit, or New Zealand.

As it isn't I am checking out.

This is the best piece of writing for a long time well worth reading it all.
But I really like the last line : if being a tw*t were a tv show, trumo would be the box set.

Please can we become part of New Zealand? Only state leader I admire and trust.

Donald Trimp ( and Boris Johnson) are both isolationist dangers. I can understand how their rhetoric appeals to some. But for the UK we need to be part of Europe (even a flawed Europe). Trump is right that China is largely to blame for COVID-19 but his handling of the problem is woeful. COVID-19 has shown the rest of the world that China is not to be trusted. As a country we have to reduce our dependency on China and the USA as quickly as is possible. Many of the healthcare staff that saved Boris are EU Nationals, that alone should get through his thick skull and make him realise that Brexit and Trump are both disasters.

I saw an excellent thing that Bill Gates had written on another forum. I posted that I wished he was the US president and others agreed then the Trump fans (incredible that he has them) piled in. I've been trying to find the Bill Gates letter so I could post it here but to no avail.

Donald Trump is what he is.
The really frightening thing is that America, with its enormous population, seems unable to produce an alternative.

I saw this on FB a few days ago - I gave a rueful laugh!
