I’m watching Trump on twitter, and it is all getting a tad worrying.
He is talking about there being a blood bath in the event of him losing and the latest footage shows him standing to the USA national anthem and saluting the 6January “hostages”
I hope the courts get to grip with him before he causes a major insurrection - because that is what it is beginning to look like.He is talking about there being a blood bath in the event of him losing and the latest footage shows him standing to the USA national anthem and saluting the 6January “hostages”
I honestly find that quite alarming. But what is even more frightening is that people cannot see that the man is basically suggesting that he, and only he, has the right to become President. And at the same time, ensuring his supporters are whipped up into a frenzy at the mere prospect of him losing. Some have even said that they believe he is God's choice!
Him and his bloody ego - his massive, massive ego, that has to be pandered to all the time, is probably going to hold the most powerful position in the world. He cannot even handle the tiniest bit of criticism without getting into a rage and posting on Truth Social sometimes during the middle of the night. These are not the reactions of a stable personality, he's unhinged - to put it in non-scientific terms.
And this is the nation that we are going to form stronger ties with, forge a trade-deal (ha!) with because we didn't want to be told what to do by 'Bwussels' - does anyone seriously believe that America will, under Trump, focus on the needs and requirements of the UK, as opposed to its own 'America first' in any deal? America will say "jump" and we'll ask "how high"? So much for our sovereignty - which we ditched the EU to 're-gain'!Nothing whatsoever to do with leaving the EU.
We have always, since WW11, been strong allies of the US.
You're all panicking in case Trumpy gets back in. Well at least he'll be elected by all who can vote, maybe some that shouldn't too, Putin worries me far more than Trump, that is for sure.

Speaking at a rally in Conway, South Carolina, Trump recalled how as president he told an unidentified NATO member that he would withhold U.S. help and “encourage” Russia to do as it wishes with allies that do not contribute enough to military spending.
‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’" Trump recounted saying. “‘No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay. You gotta pay your bills.’"
(from FACT-CHECK)
If Russia (Putin) were to do "what the hell they want", it could be the beginning of WW3. Which side would Trump be on?
The fact Trump would be elected by all who can vote would be of little consolation.
Nothing whatsoever to do with leaving the EU.
One of the reasons for leaving the EU - quoted by quite a few people at the time - was because of our "sovereignty" which it was believed was under threat.
We may be allies (for the moment), but any future trade deal with America will, to put it mildly, be very much on their terms. America puts America first - and it most certainly will under Trump. He might have said nice things about our late Queen ("great lady"), but when it comes down to the wire, Trump's first loyalty is to the $$$. Which is why he couldn't give a tinker's cuss about Russia invading a 'delinquent' country.
... though it's rumoured his own financial dealings have been somewhat on the delinquent side historically.
Would you be so blasé if, for example, Putin put to the test Trump's apparent lack of concern about who he might choose to attack next, by choosing to attack Great Britain?
Putin worries me too - but Trump vindicating him worries me even more.
