Trump scrapes the bottom of the barrel

I hate being so sweeping in my statement but I've had enough. In my opinion ANYONE who still votes Republican is complicit in the perpetration of pure evil, corruption, sexual molestation of women and children and racial hatred. Add to that the so called Christians who support him are the worst of the worst.

Thank you Jaycee5, Carly and Esmerelda - really interesting perspectives. Just to be clear - Trump didn’t win the last election. He did not achieve a majority of votes - his advisors and campaign managers strategically targeted specific electoral colleges which is what swung the 2016 election. Yes, he does want civil war. With the US economy and employment rate in tatters political analysts are saying he will ramp up on racism, division and aggression as his electoral strategy. An extremely dangerous man.

Has Trump ever read any part of the bible? Can he even read?
He behaves like an overgown spoilt brat!!

I also have American friends who are devoted Christians but they think Trump is appalling.
His present behaviour has sunk to new depths and the situation is becoming dangerous.
He surely can't get re-elected can he? Please not!

The man is vile. My in laws live in USA half of the year. She is American and Father in law is British. They think he is a genius apparently! I cant discuss politics with them as it makes me too cross. However I will be interested to hear how they defend his actions on this occasion.

The trouble is many so called Christians in bible belt America are racist. That's why Trump got voted into power. Very sad.

That is a great quite Esmeralda

I am a practicing Christian and have an older American friend who has lived in the UK for years and, although she thinks she is more English than the English is still extremely American. She won't have a word spoken against Donald Trump (she does NOT like my views on the dreadful man). She once told me it was God's will that he was elected as the Christians voted for him. You couldn't make it up.

Not all of them Helga, but many do seem to believe that God's priorities are identical with those of white American capitalists.

So called American Christians are White Supremacists in disguise, would not allow Jesus into the country nowadays. What concerns me greatly, is that Boris is doing behind the scenes secret deals with that moron. Sadly, Boris's speeches don't show any empathy, compassion, emotions, just a series of bumbling slogans. Is he really so different?

The following quote says it all ...
"This is an awful man, waving a book he hasn’t read, in front of a church he doesn’t attend, invoking laws he doesn’t understand, against fellow Americans he sees as enemies, wielding a military he dodged serving in, to protect power he gained via accepting foreign interference, exploiting fear and anger he loves to stoke, after failing to address a pandemic he was warned about, and building it all on a bed of constant lies and childish inanity.”
-- Robert Hendrickson, Rector at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Tucson, Arizona

It is easy to dismiss Trump as a moron. He is, but more to the point he is a dangerous moron who seems to be totally out of control. This is the man who has his finger on the nuclear button and unless someone can restrain him we could find ourselves in World War 3., yet it is more than likely that he will be re-elected. Think about it!

The thing that surprises me most about presidential elections is the very poor quality of the candidates who aspire to be leader of the free world, which is how the USA sees it self. Could they really not find someone out of an electorate of 300 million or so who was better than Trump whose faults were obvious from the start, and lets face it apart from the moral issues Jo Biden is a complete nonentity although even he has been accused of sexual misdemeanors -but then, so was JFK. I have heard it said that a lot of Americans have no concept of or interest in the world beyond their own state, which might throw some light on the problem.

Personally, I'm amazed that bible didn't burst into flames !

Why did Trump win the US election? My guess would be that he had Russian help (with both propoganda beforehand plus that pesky online voting system will have given them a golden opportunity to "tweak" the votes). Why would Russia help him (and why would he accept that help)? Because he's in hoc to Russian banks who were the only banks who would stop him going bankrupt (when USA banks had given up on him after bailing him out 3 times). And who tells Russian banks what to do? Putin. And what does Putin want - chaos in the West. (In fact, it was probably Putin's idea for him to run for president). So he now has an American president in his pocket, and Trump knows that whatever he does, he will be re-elected. He can't be too crass, too stupid, too inflammatory, too hypocritical - because he already is.

I think the most terrifying thing is that the people of America voted him into power. What does that say about them?

Coconut It is not necessary to be an atheist to see that Trump is a dangerous hypocrite. I have heard several committed and genuine Christians say that he has no idea what values a truly religious man should have.

I am not even sure that it is hypocrisy - for that he would have to really believe one thing but act in another way entirel. I suspect that he does genuinely believe in that tiny lump of little greyish cells that he calls a mind that his actions and statements are in perfect accord with Jesus' teachings.

This man has gone beyond scraping the barrel. He is now inhabiting the grim and grimy realms that lie beyond the bottom of the barrel. I have American friends who are in despair. I keep a journal and during 2016 I remember writing that if elected, trump would cause so much harm not just to the USA but to the rest of the world.

Trump wants civil war. People tend to vote for incumbent leaders at time of war.
His phone call with Governors is worse. He is stoking up trouble and division.
Much of the militaristic equipment the US police use is bought from the UK. Dawn Butler is trying to persuade our government to stop selling it to the US. It includes tear gas, rubber bullets and riot shields. Hopefully they will listen.

paddyanne I didn't think he'd win the last election but the Americans are hard to understand at times.
Last couple of visits to the States we have had people apologise for their president saying they did not vote for him but many did.
Why can't he show any empathy with his people? So narcissistic.
The current situation is very very sad there with people disobeying curfews etc but so frustrated they cannot cope.
Bad enough here with our government mistakes but so much worse there.
Even without Coronovirus problems we currently would think twice about visiting their beautiful country again.

Thank your lucky stars he's not here running this country, right or wrong, he is what he is, feel sorry for his family, an embarrassment

Surreal. Imagine Trump had lost the election, imagine a different president at this time, dealing reasonably with the situation. Imagine a satirical show which in bad taste imagines how Trump might have acted at this time if he had won - looting and shooting, chortle, no mask, giggle, waving a bible smirk, sending in the army....but it's really all happening. Surreal.

The man is a moron. I could not believe it when he won the election. I fear he will win again as he has the support of so many like minded morons.
I don't really understand US politics but DH worked over there for a long time on & off (I stayed here!!) & thinks he still has the support of many Americans as he lowered the taxes.

This monster is so dangerous and like many people am asking myself where this will all end with him. Being an atheist I can so see what a hypocrite this womanising, ego manic truly is, standing there waving a bible, the man is so, so sick in the head ..... truly unhinged.

Sorry marionk. Trump is NOT the bottom of the barrel. He is what crawls around in the muck under the barrel!
