What a wonderful start to his Presidency. Today he visited North Carolina and California. His meeting with the local people must have been so uplifting for them, having been let down by the previous government.
He speaks so much sense. Please take time to really listen to what he is saying before slamming him to the wall.
Thank you.

Good to hear another point of view Artols It is getting boring hearing the shrill voices against him. The country voted, suck it up.

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 08:31:26

Yep.
Plus he’s already rounded up & shipped back some illegals.
He gets the job done.
And agree a few on this site are obsessed with him - thread after thread moaning about ‘poor America’
America voted for him. They’ll be fine.

Yes, I'm sure they will be fine. I'm not happy about the abortion issue, but otherwise, I hope he sticks to the promises he has made.
It really shows up our own wishy-washy, incompetent leader, who has no love for England and is happy to continue its decline.

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 08:40:14

Yes, I agree about the abortion issue too.
Thankfully it’s only illegal in some states so women can travel. Not ideal but Irish women had to do it until very recently.

Do you know how big America is?? Don’t worry it’ll be all States if Trump and his supporters have their way!

Artois do you live in America?

Kadinsky Please stop referring to human beings as illegals

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 09:11:35

Oh give it a rest cossy fgs.

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 09:15:30

Do you live in America?
Why are you so obsessed with Donald Trump?
Is it because the Tories are no longer in power so you have to have someone to vent your frustration / anger?

Americans voted for him twice
Get over it.

Kandinsky

Oh give it a rest cossy fgs.

Really? You think it’s perfectly ok to describe fellow humans, many who done nothing wrong other than seek asylum, as illegals?

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 09:24:34

What should I call them?

karmalady Sat 25-Jan-25 09:26:25

I agree Arto1s, what a wonderful positive start and what a contrast with the dismal leaders of uk

America will be great again, meanwhile the uk wreckers are in charge here, for a while

I have close family and friends in the USA, I’ve also visited several times and lived there for a year.

I’m a woman, so it concerns me that women’s rights are being eradicated, I have gay children so their rights concern me also.

America is one of the biggest and most powerful nations in the world, what they do affects many other countries.

I could ask why you’re so obsessed with migrants??

Cossy Sat 25-Jan-25 09:32:27

Kandinsky

How about migrants ? Or Refugees or Asylum Seekers?

nanna8 Sat 25-Jan-25 09:32:44

They call them illegal migrants here but you are not allowed to say that in the uk because they don’t have freedom of speech. .

Eloethan Sat 25-Jan-25 09:34:06

Kandinsky Perhaps you would like to "give it a rest" too. Or does everyone have to agree with you?

Primrose53 Sat 25-Jan-25 09:37:07

He doesn’t mess about does he? Our Government could learn a lot from him. Good to see all those illegal immigrants being led onto the plane yesterday.

He gives what his country asks for!

They themselves are not “illegal”, the means by which they enter is illegal and if you’re in Oz I’m guessing lots of those there are visa overstayers or working on visitors visas and therefore are committing a crime.

HousePlantQueen Sat 25-Jan-25 09:38:30

Oh the irony. Same posters who only yesterday accused some of starting goady threads. Same unpleasant language too "illegals" and that old Brexit favourite aimed at Remainers "suck it up". I suggest we leave the deluded Trump fan club to their echo chamber, I like a good robust political discussion, but I suspect this thread isn't it

In chains and shackles?

You do know

Cossy Sat 25-Jan-25 09:38:54

Soz posted too soon!

Cossy Sat 25-Jan-25 09:41:07

I meant to say that you are aware over 16,000 migrants have been deported by the LP in 6 months, 50 of these in the first 3 weeks of them being elected?

Kandinsky Sat 25-Jan-25 09:46:32

This isn’t a goady thread.
It’s not demanding people explain themselves as to why they voted brexit or like Donald Trump.

Anyway, what are Trump haters doing on this thread? Haven’t you got enough of your own Trump bashing threads? One even has a post wishing the bullet had killed him!
And I get pulled up for calling people illegals.

theworriedwell Sat 25-Jan-25 09:52:16

But he was going to stop the war in Ukraine on day one, what happened to that?
