I'm no political expert but I still find it surreal that such a man can be president of one of the most powerful nations in the world. His insensitive, bullish reaction and the aggressive and inflammatory language used by him in response to this latest manifestation of deep seated and established racism in 'his' nation highlight his total lack of empathy and compassion towards the anger, pain and anguish of all those in America and across the world who have seen that horrifying video clip and been shocked and repelled by it.

The vicar Of the church wasn’t too pleased either

It seems to me that we are so used to him acting a fool/tyrant/pervert that we have become habituated to it. Not much he does can suprise us any more.

just when we thought he couldn't get any worse he shocks us.He's turning the clock back 50 years and more.Surely he cant win the election?

Your OP sounds like a rebuke, tidyskatemum. I'm sure we're all shocked to the core about Trump's behaviour and worried about the continuing violence.

You have started this thread so no doubt others will comment.

I am astounded that no-one has commented on Trump’s crass and cynical photoshoot standing outside the church in Washington and brandishing a bible, having deployed guards using teargas to clear his way there. Not to mention dragging Melania along to the shrine of John Paul II for more photos when neither of them set foot in church from one month to the next. Surely any Christian should be outraged at his manipulation of their religion? Though apparently evangelical Christians think he’s doing a good job.(??????!!!!!)
