Trump

Good result for the USA. He listens to the people. All the attacks are personal

“Greyisnotmycolour- I feel just the same. To know that some on here actually support him and what he stands for - I just can't do this.”

I agree fleurpepper, although I do feel sorry for many Americans (particularly young women) waking up to this nightmare today. In their country the racist, misogynist bullies now rule

Sadly the Democrats have brought this on themselves and on America, and possibly on the rest of us. They hung on to an elderly man who clearly has either dementia or something similar, for far too long. They they parachuted Harris in at a late stage in the proceedings. I wondered if she was electable when that was done, and so it turns out, she wasn’t.

The Democrats need to choose better next time. They need to take stock and reflect on what they did wrong.

I’m shocked, horrified and very sad!

We all know from his last stint as POTUS, that’s he is totally off his trolley, and very clearly, so are 52% of America.

I almost understand old white men voting for him, and the weirdo Bible Belt, but anyone else? 😱😱

As a pacifist first, I don’t endorse the continuation of war. I don’t understand why anyone would? NATO needs to take a step back - it has not covered itself in glory. If it takes Trump in power, then so be it.

No, the “attacks” are not personal.

All he stands for sets young women back to Victorian times. I would hate my daughters to be in todays America! Pro life? No, it’s anti abortion, no one should tell any woman she cannot terminate a pregnancy, especially those resulting from rape or where an embryo would result in a very damaged baby!

You genuinely believe Trump can stop Israel and Russian pray you are correct!

There is now a criminal as Potus. He will change laws to suit himself. Any charges against him will be dropped.
How can someone who flouts the laws of his country be expected to keep law and order in the US?

I have often wondered about the choices a foetus might make if it could be asked. Do you want a life or is it okay to be destroyed now?
I think for me a lived life suits best.

Yes Cossy it takes a super deranged man to take on other super deranged leaders. They speak each other’s language. More shame on them but we are helpless and just sit and watch.

Without NATO and with Trump possibly aligning himself with Putin the whole western world is in danger. Ukraine must now feel extremely vulnerable as must other nations previously part of the USSR.
Israel is another problem that Trump might seek to eradicate with a throwaway remark or post on X. Bibi is certainly hoping so. And with Gallant sacked Bibi is readying himself for the final push indeed he held on for this very result.

I absolutely agree wholeheartedly and anyone who doesn’t agree needs to take a good long look at themselves and consider how mentally stable Trump, Putin and Netanyahu actually are, not forgetting Kim Jong Un!

We will be living in a very dangerous world with very dubious allies for the USA.

Well even if posters are not bothered about getting rid of NATO which is sheer folly unless they support Putin and a resurgence of autocracies around the world. I wonder how they will feel after the US inflict watering tariffs on any trade deals we have with them, which is what Trump threatens to do, resulting in prices in the UK going up again. Happy with that?

Just listening to Starmer’s letter to Donald Trump! What a creep and turncoat Starmer is after all he said.

I repeat .... what else can Starmer do? He has a responsibility to act in the best interests of the UK, whatever his personal views. I am sure that it all sticks in his throat, but he is doing it for you and me. He cannot blatantly alienate someone so powerful who is able to make our lives and our commerce very difficult.

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.

Couldn’t have put better myself. He’s won fair & square!

Correction - eye watering

It's the cost of stopping those conflicts that concerns me. An apparently quick solution can leave open the door for more conflict rather than less.

Its aa bad day for those hoping to see commitment to climate change, as Trump doesnt believe its happening.

But you know that something approaching 72 million voters who voted for him can’t be off their trolleys.
So look for the real reasons they voted that way.

Bizarre and dangerous days ahead for the whole world.
At least Netanyahu and Putin will be celebrating.

You do spout rubbish on here

A lived life for a very unwanted baby, in very poor states, with no real and meaningful welfare?

I think we will simply have to disagree.

I haven’t, and don’t think I would have had, a termination, but I absolutely support ALL women having this choice and having it in a safe, medical manner.

@Mt61 if this only affected the US I would be more than happy for Americans to get the person they voted for, but it affects all of us, I mean it shouldn’t but thanks to US influence around the world it most certainly does.

I also felt sick in my stomach as I turned the tv on to see the Trump camp celebrating and partying.

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Cossy adoption is an option.

KS has just given the standard diplomatic reply which any UK leader of any party would have done. (and no doubt leaders are replicating all over the world, whatever their personal views). You dont start a new relationship with a future POTUS by alienating them, that would be stupid.

Absolutely! He will pardon himself, and many others, he will have Elon Musk close to him.

Anyone on here, or elsewhere, who cannot see this is a very dangerous time for the entire world needs to look further.

This isn’t just about economics, it’s about people, people Trump has slated in the past, migrants, women and the disabled.

It’s about war, the temptation Trump might have up against those who disagree with him. It’s about human rights, which some on here called “liberal nonsense”

I have both friends and family in the USA, I’m pretty sure they didn’t vote for a convicted felon!

Wyllow3 Guido Fawkes has a very full list of many anti Trump comments made by the Labour Party over the years. There’s no coming back from this. Lady Starmer on an anti Trump March - seriously?
