Trump

So much hand wringing and angst when it will all be forgotten by the weekend 🤷‍♀️

I very much doubt it.

I feel anti-Brexit like vibes from some.

What Trump says he will do.

If we hadn’t left the EU the ones who voted may have felt it wasn’t their country, see how illogical that is?

It’s not illogical at all!

I feel this country changed forever when the Brexit vote was won on the back of lies, covert racism and misinformation.

I’m simply not proud to be British when I hear how some of my fellow Brits speak about those of different nationalities and somehow believe being white British makes them somehow superior.

People who describe fellow humans as “illegals”, who make assumptions about people’s criminal intent and tar whole cohorts as the same, ie All Moslems are ISIS, etc etc. Shameful!

It empowered many people. But not in a good way. As has happened in America today.

The people of America voted in their millions and the majority voted for Trump. End of.

Or beginning of Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The people of America voted in their millions and the majority voted for Trump. End of.

It seems a fairly even vote - some people must like his policies.

... end of what?

Listening to Trump rambling on talking about himself just now only confirms my concern for the USA and the World. I wish you well America with your choice.

Omg Tanith his whole family on that stage …..🙄 And his mammoth rambling about a rocket & his good friend Elon ….i mean let’s just say the US has a demented power crazy President elect , who also just happens to be best friends with THE richest man in the world . That alone can only spell trouble !
All the money 💰 thrown at the electioneering , money being thrown at voters … a true true fai campaign in every way 🤫

I love Macron’s congratulatory tweet to Trump:

“Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump. Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”

Clever use of the word ‘convictions’ there! Macron speaks perfect English so it clearly wasn’t something ‘lost in translation’.

Tres bien Macron!

The electorate have had their say, it is their decision.

Whether or not GN members agree with them is not going to change anything.

Name calling is not the answer, whatever side of the pond it occurs.

For what it’s worth I think Donald Trump won this election the day he was shot at the rally.

It’s crazy but I think entirely possible- he strutted around like a prize bull afterwards , enjoying his moment. A stupendous victorious moment at that 🤪

Trump won on the back of his defiance after the failed assassination attempt not so long ago. The man was remarkable in the circumstances. The photo opportunity was iconic.

Yes, it's funny, but isn't it actually the same word in French, so no translation as such?
It means, quelqu'un qui croit fermement à la vérité de ce qu'il pense. Someone who believes strongly in the truth of his thinking. Seems logical.
Macron wouldn't want to associate himself with guilt of the other sort!

The above referred to this quote.

escaped perhaps it’s a double entendre by Macron

Somewhat risqué you could say!

Oui🤷‍♀️

Just about sums it up ….

If Trump goes ahead with his import tariffs this could affect British companies.

However now he has yes men around him , there will be no checks & balances ,& Supreme Court has given him the power to press the button as cannot now be held responsible to in court of law for actions when he in power. Jan 6th insurrection will be thrown out for starters & dangerous criminals released.
Plus load court system with yes judges .

Unless he has a major shift of thought process which seems unlikely.

As far as I’m aware Britain is still part of Europe just not the EU. My concern is the affect on the environment, the world is already showing signs of the impact of fossil fuels and President Elect Trump has already said he’s going to allow oil exploration in Alaska, encourage Fracking and said he doesn’t care about climate change, even his own country has been affected.

It certainly will. Economists are already predicting higher prices, higher interest rates and little economic growth.
As they say “ when America sneezes, Britain catches a cold”.

Just about sums it up ….

The same meme was used to insult Biden so it has somewhat lost its punch.

Well I’m delighted. 🤩
Congratulations Mr. Trump. You’ve shocked the naysayers.
There will be howls now (think Brexit here). Some people only like democracy when their side wins.

There will be NO DEMOCRACY under the egregious Trump he’s an Isolationist Autocrat…( as well as a LOT of other things) you should beware what you wish for…!
