I think Trump will win so fasten your seatbelts! For reasons best known to themselves the Democrats haven’t replaced Biden and Trump must be rubbing his hands in glee.

I’d guess ( only ) that Trump would let Putin do whatever he wants so long as it didn’t impact directly on the USA. He would leave the Ukraine to defend itself and be wouldn’t be giving them any help. Same with Europe. He’d ignore it except for as a trade partner. On the other hand I think he would work quite closely with places like North Korea and China. As for the UK, he would maintain ties because they are still regarded as the ‘mother country’. Australia- forget it, no interest whatsoever.

Lecture read. How dare you criticise me about being blasé, I was stating how I felt, Putin scares the hell out of me. Do you really think he needs a red neck to clap him on the back, or give him permission to carry out any invasion.
No more from me on this subject, as you can't even state how you feel without some holier than thou criticising. Goodbye.

If you want to read it as a lecture, that's down to you.

It was my immediate gut-reaction to your mocking comment about us "panicking" over 'Trumpy'. Which implies derision of those who are concerned about him.

If you say things that are controversial, you will get a reaction. That was mine.

I can usually think of pros and cons for any political leader but I can't think of any pros for Trump whereas there is a big stack of cons. Truss, too. Even BoJo has a certain amount of wit and charm.

Surely the fact that Trump has won the championship AND the senior championship many times at various Trump golf courses should persuade you how great he is?

If that's not enough, surely the fact that he has endorsed a special copy of the Bible, which you can buy for only $59.99 (and only some of the money goes to him), will be enough to get you to support him!

I thought about buying some gold trainers from him but as I'm between a 5 and a 5.5 I didn't know what size to order, then I thought about the size of his hands and decided to order a 7. (think about it)

Your post reminded me of this.

Boris Johnson, earlier this year, in his weekly Daily Mail column, backed Donald Trump as prospective President, saying that his return to the White House could be...

"just what the world needs".

He must have forgotten what he said about the man in 2015 (as Mayor) when Trump was President and planning a complete ban on all Muslims entering the USA.

"You can’t ban people going to the United States in that way, or indeed to any country"

Then, after Trump's subsequent claim that his ban was justified because immigrants had made parts of London into 'no-go' zones, Johnson observed that Trump was...

"betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of president of the United States.”

and

"I would invite him to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city, except that I wouldn’t want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.”

... which Trump appeared to be totally unaware of when he said...

“A really good man is going to be the prime minister of the U.K. now, Boris Johnson, he’s tough and he’s smart. They’re saying, ‘Britain Trump.’ They call him ‘Britain Trump.’ And people are saying that’s a good thing. They like me over there, that’s what they wanted. That’s what they need.”

Talk about making someone else's victory all about YOU!

Both men are duplicitous narcistic hypocrites, the only difference between them is that Johnson is a better-educated duplicitous narcistic hypocrite.
