Trumps first address.

The spectator has just run a poll showing support for trump was highest in the 18 -30 age range in Britain.

And the received wisdom is that that age-group supported Remain - but it seems not enough of them bothered to vote in the referendum.

Yes, that’s been the case for a while. I follow Ipsos, here is their latest poll. Support is not high in any age group, but it’s higher than other age groups for under thirties.

I am very sure, apart from a few exceptions, that Brexiters and (are?) the same as 'Trumpers'

I am not at all sure that you can extrapolate from the EU result.
1) it was a very narrow majority
2) one related to the UK and the other to a country many will not even have visited and may know little about
3) the social demographic of voters can’t be equated.
4) the “reasons” behind both Leave and Remain campaigns in the UK were quite local and specific
5) the psychology of the nations is in many areas very different

You may have anecdotal evidence of overlapping political stances but no way would this stand up to any sort of sociological or political scientific scrutiny.
So it remains (see what I did there) your opinion , unproven and AFAIK unsubstantiated.

No idea- but there are many thousands of us who feel the same. The comparison is quite obvious for many.

Sovereignty was massively important for one, and not at all for the other- and for the same people.

Claremont I find your constant references to Brexit reminds me of another poster whom we haven’t heard from in a while. You must have very similar views. 😁

I'm a it shocked that a lot of posters can't see how awful Trump & his presidency potentially is, too. & agree that I don't trust him to leave at the end of his constitutional term.

Hope he hasn't taken those newly developed, hugely expensive, age- busting drugs that some researchers / pharma are wanting to trial soon - with his money, who knows.

I am shocked that.people can wish someone dead but there you go we all have different standards.

I’m shocked that so many Grans can’t see how awful Trump’s presidency will be for all of us. He is a person with no moral compass and cares about no one and nothing except himself. I hope he doesn’t survive the 4 years in office as I’m not sure he will leave otherwise.

Trump shows Starmer what real leadership looks like.
We have the Poundshop version.

You just can't wait for him to apply massive tarifs on all British exports- with diabolical effects of agriculture and industries that have already been massively affected by Brexit.

Can't wait for us to totally lose our Sovereignty- the very same that Brexit was all about?

Can't wait for the majority of people to lose access to healthcare, as they can't afford it.

How very lovely! Not.

Yes, as a counterpoint . It would be nice if you had some facts behind what you say but it is just incendiary nonsense . Trump is an incompetent . Your inference that he is going to improve US citizens lives and by example British lives is bonkers . He is there to empower his rich buddies and democracy be damned .

Just stop your endless commentary is not fact based just random comments . Trump is a dictator wanna be . After swearing to uphold the constitution one of his first acts is to act against the constitution . You seem to be easily duped by his faceless bluster and as a US citizen I find it tiring .

And yet here you are.

Blimey, you’re bossy.
I think I can post what I like, when I like thank you Syracuse providing my posts are within GNHQ guidelines.

Well let’s all come back in 12 months and see if he can “walk the talk”.

For people who click on links, here is a very happy Donald Trump.

Oh, I'd not heard that Brits who viewed to leave the EU supported Trump.

How have we reached that conclusion?

A quick survey on here will quickly confirm that this is true. Farage, Brexit, Trump, and now Musk. There is quite a fan club. Beats me why.

It was Barack Obama who renamed the mountain Denali as it was a sacred mountain to the indigenous peoples.. I wonder how he felt when Trump made a point of changing the name back to McKinley..

I wonder what Trump would do if Putin decided he wanted Alaska back. In Anchorage all the gift shops, apart from the Tiny Shop were filled with clothes/ souvenirs made in China. Who owns what now?

I also can see why people voted for him. Watching Starmer to-day I was just bored by the man.

How could any self-respecting woman even contemplate voting for a man who has so much disrespect for their sex? I - for one of VERY many - will never forget or forgive the 'grab them by the pussy' comments. Showed the real nature of this awful beast.

A working class American lady was asked this, on a TV news feature and answered that people know 'He is rough around the edges' but he is fighting for us.

I voted for the Republican Party. The dithering Democrats had absolutely nothing to offer. Trump’s first speech inspired me with confidence for the USA.
