Trump's opinion on Olympic soccer team

Trump knows he is irrelevant so he posts anything to get noticed. In his mind even bad publicity is better than being ignored. He is a loser!

In answer to your post re the use of Markle and Middleton instead of their husbands' surnames: I am not certain why the press do that, but I salute it as there is no reason on earth why a woman should take her husband's name when she marries. I cannot for the life of me understand why women still do it as it denotes ownership and is a remnant of a patriarchal society.

I never give Trump a thought snd inless you know better i cannot see the Republicans selecting him again if they want to win the next election. Not that i think Biden is doing a brilliant job. I understood that the vice President was going to the border states to sort out the number of Mexicans waiting for entry but so far she has not visited. While i understand the need to withdraw from Afghanistan it has not been well handled and if the USA and UK do not take in the numbers of locals who need to leave then the Taliban will kill them. Altogether the USA and UK may have been better never to have gone to war in the Middle and Far East. Trump has departed and who cares about him?

Let's not give this misogynistic , awful man head space.

The mans got a lot of problems. Nasty and rude being two of them and a very serious mental health problem. Dangerous too.
Not being rude to anyone who has mental health issues as my gd suffers with them but he is definitely a dangerous man and rascist

Nothing Trump says is worthy of attention.

At least old Trump gave us a good laugh, whereas sensible Biden is a tad boring.
By the way why does the press always refer to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as Meghan Markel? And Prince William's wife as Kate Middleton? Its as if the women are not married.

They did the same with the Princess of Wales, always referring to her as Lady Di which made me cringe.

Ailidh

I read it and found it frightening in its non sequitur-ness.

Blimey the last anyone can expect from Trump is logic

I read it and found it frightening in its non sequitur-ness.

I have always maintained that it wasn't Trump the scared me, it was the millions who voted for him. One less dangerous lunatic on the world stage, but still a fair few there, sadly.

Ditto what Bluebell said. Also I think it is not possible to ignore Trump unfortunately. He still has an amazingly large number of ignorant followers to whose prejudices he panders with appalling success. I wish he was in prison where he belongs.

Trump behaves outrageously, belittles women (again) and yet this forum with less than 20 posts goes for the

"Sorry but Harry and Meghan .... "

Jesus wept!

158 million Americans voted in the 2020 Election. Biden won by 51.3% : nationwide popular vote was 4.4% (51.3% vs 46.9%) source Electoral Reform website. There's 46.9% of those 158 million Americans still interested in what Trump says. That's why he is still in the news / newsworthy.

The more the press publish his tantrums, his rages, his horrid nasty rants, the better for those of us who hope never ever to see that man in charge of more than a dessert trolley. The more publicity he gets for shouting down women athletes the better his supporters will see the real man behind the PR wagons.

Who gives a toss what Trump says or does?

I was never able to laugh at Trump - to me he is far to dangerous for the simple reason that a lot of people believe every word he says.

We may find him ridiculous, but that does not change the fact that others do believe him.

I hope and trust that he has lost his following in his own party, and that he before the next presidential elections will have done something so criminal that he cannot stand.

Maggs: On taking the knee : it has been to protest the act of black people being unjustly arrested and often DYING in the process. You cannot just brush this under the carpet and people are getting fed up . So a very important gesture !

Well said BlueBelle ?

At least old Trump gave us a good laugh, whereas sensible Biden is a tad boring.
By the way why does the press always refer to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as Meghan Markel? And Prince William's wife as Kate Middleton? Its as if the women are not married.

Oh maggs it is not being disrespectful to your country to take the knee it being respectful to the idea of ridding the world of racism and your post sounds as if you believe the only people taking the knee are black people which is wholly untrue it is a sign of solidarity for all like minded people who abhor racist and racism It’s a positive not a negative

The man needs sectioning (or the US equivalent).

I dont actually understand this taking the knee either actually. Not any more. I thought that black people wanted equality. Surely the best way to show that is to be patriotic to your country as a whole and only react and report to the law when its blatantly racist. I read recently that black musicians are grouping together to get fair treatment. Whilst I can see their point is this not segregation which is something they hated 40 years ago.

He doesn’t like Rappinhoe taking the knee instead of standing for the American flag and anthem as he regards it as disrespectful. Once you realise this you can make sense of what he is saying. That is not to say you agree with it.

I truly feel that Trump and Farage should be banned from all social media! They are misogynists with their own agendas and stir up trouble wherever they speak or visit! Nasty, nasty men who should be shunned by all women everywhere!!

I agree with you polnan. The media are feeding the Harry and Meghan debacle and also the Trump one.

I think he bears a grudge because the team refused an invitation to a do at the White House. I don’t think they were the only sports team to refuse an invitation from him. This man is a spoilt child who, if you believe the American press, is doing his damnest to wreck democracy.

sorry, but who cares? I find the media , generally , gives far too much attention to what so called "celebrities" say or do!
again, apologies if this upsets anyone here, but I just wish the media would stop publishing Megan and Harry so much!
