Ok, so all of you who think we need a Trump here.... what is it that appeals?

I was discussing this with DH only this morning. We came to the conclusion that, in politics as in all things, there's nowt so queer as folks. A relative of mine (who shall remain nameless) was s staunch Tory. He was born into a working-class family of coal miners. He was brought up on a miserably low income in conditions you wouldn't keep a dog in. He witnessed first-hand the awful conditions under which countless people worked (indeed, he worked under those conditions himself). When he was injured at work he was kicked out without so much as a thankyou and goodbye. And yet he thought the sun shone out of Margaret Thatcher's rear end. Yes, people, it truly does beggar belief.

Another thread with one aim…

I get where you’re coming from, really I do, but a few GNs have said they support Trump and would like him as our PM (heaven forbid and frankly both obscene and laughable) and if they do feel this strongly about him surely they can articulate why?

I voted Labour, I have said several times why and that I don’t agree with some of the stuff they’ve done nor how it’s been implemented, but I still support Starmer, and I’d admit publicity that like every other human, he has flaws.

Why can’t the Trump supporters tell us why they think he’s so great?

No appeal.

I dunno Indigo. We know there are some on here who praise him and would like him for PM. Surely they won’t be backward in coming forward to explain his appeal?

I too am puzzled at those Gransnetters, who think Trump is wonderful. It beggars belief.

It’s such a coincidence that so many Reform supporters are also Trump supporters?

As odious as Farage is, Trump is in a completely different class!

I look forward to reading what appeals to anyone here because it’s beyond my imagination. I can’t think of one redeeming feature.

I have a feeling that you going to wait a very long time before any Trump supporter sticks its head above the parapet, don't hold your breath.

We know they are out there.

Why would anyone want a criminal as their political leader. Trump, Vance and Musk are the worst examples of men who are leading or involved in leading the US.

Kamala Harris actually won 48% of the overall vote, 74,999,166 votes.

Almost 75m US citizens didn’t vote for Trump, quite a lot of people don’t want him as POTUS in his own country.

Why on earth anyone else in any other country would want him as their leader beggars belief.

None of them for me.
I don’t like the man and I’m glad I’m not American because the choice between him and Harris was awful. I don’t think I’d have voted at all in that election. Both parties need to up their game and get some decent candidates ready for the next election.
