No trousergate, thank you , but - can we discuss Mr Trump's strange hair?
It looks as if he's wearing a ferret on his head.
Does he not have advisors to suggest a better hairdresser?

Quite … just don’t know how his stylist sees this as a good look even if he has fine hair, am sure he could gel it into a better shape 👋

Indeed.

I've fine thin silver hair - my stylist is a magician, making my hair absolutely glorious. I'd assume he could pay for the same.

Perhaps he wants to appeal to his base - the "common man/working class" and assumes they can't afford decent hair cuts? Apparently he feels he is self made and understands working people.

Yes, I have wondered how the "sane" element in the Republican party feel being represented by such a man as Donald Trump. It seems they are, now, making their feelings known.

Thank you, new to me.

The Lincoln Project was formed in 2019 to defend American democracy from Donald Trump and those who identify (publicly or privately) as MAGA supporters

I've obviously been following them for years, not months!

Wyllow you could look at The Lincoln Project where you will find lots of "Never Trump" Republicans.

lincolnproject.us/

They have been putting out adverts, poscasts and other media stuff for months (years?).

Thank you. the introduction was impressive as she worked in the White House during the Trump years.

I watched bits of the clips as a list is given who appears when and found the most impressive (except the introduction) was Geoff Duncan, former Republican lieutenant Governor of Georgia, who of course had to witness Trumps shenanigans in the Georgia Election results 2020 (thats the infamous phone call recorded when Trumps asked they invent over 11.000 votes for him)

Been asking myself for ages, where have the traditional "decent" Republicans gone, they surely can't all be part of the 'cult'.

This Conservative judge is certainly not alone. The "Republicans for Harris" group is growing. Many prominent Republicans feature in this video (which is an hour long)

"Conservative Republican endorses Harris, calls Trump a threat to democracy"

with reservations, but concern for the future of democracy in the USA

Based on other threads 😂 😂 I'm wondering when Kamala's trouser suits will be compared and contrasted to Hillary's trouser suits? I recall Hillary's trouser suits were viewed quite poorly, as unattractive and matronly.

😮 oh please no.

One decent into the gutter is quite enough.

I saw pictures of her on Sunday tour - nice jacket, black trousers AND Chuck's -- I'd imagine Trump can't look at all that pleasant.

Trouser suits!!!!!1 Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!Help!!!!!!!!!
Please, please, I beg you, not again.
Not another Trousergate.

I was first referencing the unattractive matronly trouser suits worn by Hillary during her campaign against Trump 2016.

However it is amusing - not a cares what trousers males wear.

I feel he’s running out of things to say now.

No good can come of such hate.

Oh my, he is so unhinged.

Communist? Far left? How does he come to these notions?

Can we add Obama to the list of "Decent"...(as far as I'm aware)

Yes, he seemed quite decent.

Seemingly one of only a very few in our lifetime.

Kamala Harris will mop the floor with Trump in a debate. It will be interesting.

Hopefully not 🙏

Trump stated at a rally that Kamala is really ugly, and that he is much much better looking and hot.

I mean who, let alone any woman- even beging to think of voting for him. He is a pure delusional, manipulating, narcissist of the worst kind, and so racist.

When I think back to the self-righteous outrage felt by so many Americans over President Nixon and Watergate, I find the attitudes of some of the present day American people difficult to understand.

What has changed the American psyche? Trump has outdone Nixon for wrong doing many times over. He has shown himself to be a liar, a fantasist and a criminal, yet, still a great number of Americans still love and respect him.

Add to this the fact that Trump is now 78 and becoming increasingly muddle headed and his apparent popularity is even more difficult to understand.

It's quite curious innit?

Think back to Kennedy's women, Watergate, Bill Clinton's dalliances, Bush2 wars with no wmd ever found - only Ford and Carter seem decent people. Perhaps some have had years to build this attitude?

I keep hoping that Trump will make such incredible dogs dinner statement(s) that moderates will be turned off. You make a good point Indigo about the change in the American psyche and expectations of truth and integrity. Since the onset of social media they are not alone in that.

Trump has millions and millions of dollars to throw every negative falsehood he and his supporters can find against Kamala - this week he is campaigning hard to try and take any publicity away from the democratic convention - rallies, TV adverts - its a wonder that anyone not alert to these tricks can make up their minds up at all.

Reading CNN, Trumps advisors are trying to keep him "on message" as his bitterness just "Attacks" his disappointment at losing Biden as an easy target.

Harris will also have to navigate the difficult issues around Israel as a small group have been trying to alter the Biden "negotiate ceasefire 2 state solution"

Personally, and I stress personally, I wouldn’t go back there just now until it is sorted out. As no doubt it eventually will be one way or another.

I have advised one of my students who wanted to go and study in the USA this autumn (fall!) NOT to go. I fear that if Kamaly wins, there will be riots and worse- led by Trump and his supporters- bordering on civil war.

IMO if students want to study in the US they should be given the opportunity….stop panicking people…

I agree totally Bea65
It will be more important than ever for decent citizens to stand up for democracy, to be seen openly standing up to bullies and to show by their example that corruption will never prevail.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
And this includes avoiding confrontation if necessary

I'm not sure that it's the responsibility of students from other countries to stand up for US democracy.

The US is a big, big country and not doubt there wouldn't be insurrection everywhere, but I think I'd be wary of planning a long term stay there in the next year. Whoever wins I think there will be trouble.
