Does this man's arrogance have no limits?

Rather like Hollywood would have us believe John Wayne won WWII all on his own, Trump is busy deleting the efforts of European armies from history.

This is a man who avoided being sent to Vietnam on account of a condition called 'Bone Spurs' whatever they are. Oh, and his rich Daddy's money is thought to have had something to do with it.......

Sigh.

Is it arrogance or is he just dim? Does he not realise the war on the Far East continued until 2nd September 1945? Nor does he seem to know that the surrender document was signed on board a USS ship anchored off Tokyo.

I wonder if there are any US veterans who served in the Far East still alive? Or any POWs?

He only does it to annoy because he knows it teases.

Can we speak roughly to him and beat him when he sneezes opens his mouth?

So statesmanlike, isn't he.

I wish we could!!!

By the look of it he'll be calling today "Victory in English Counties Day" and giving his pal Nige a Purple Heart hmm

Won’t the rest of the world just ignore his rubbish like they have with the Gulf of Mexico and add another point to the plonker score?

Probably Casdon.

Only if you ‘pepper’ him first 🤭

I actually think they're both living in a purple haze.

I’m waiting for him to declare that the USA are planning to colonise Scotland because he has Scottish ancestry 🤣

M0nica Fri 02-May-25 20:39:18

Some might say that he is welcome to it.

It's gonna be one big golf course, apparently.
'"Scotland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of my empire, the biggest golf course in the world” Trump said, as his son, Donald Trump Jr, is set to head to Scotland.'

I think it’s both! He’s both ignorant and arrogant, as well as rude and rather stupid!

Grandmabatty Sat 03-May-25 15:09:31

I'm Scottish. He's most definitely not welcome here. He bullied some villagers horribly to build his golf course in Aberdeenshire (I think) and didn't fulfil the promises he made. He also didn't pay bills either. I think scots have Alex Salmond to thank for that. He would be as welcome as syphilis

Historically inaccurate as the war with Japan was not over.

You both beat me to it!

Ouch!
Does that qualify as racist?

It doesn't say much for the education system in the US when the president and some of his entourage are so poorly educated.
The unsubstantiated rubbish that blows across the pond is almost laughable.

I think it’s less a case of education and ignorance and more a case of Trump wanting it to be so, therefore it is so!

He’s bonkers and power mad !

I said 'some', not 'I' and some people have said all kinds of things about separating from Scotland. I merely report the facts.

By the way I am of Scottish descent and my maiden name was Scottish.

He is achieving what his fragile ego desires, the world is talking about him and his. misdirection leadership…

Hopefully in 4 years time, when the Americans come to their senses and they elect a Democrat it will all revert back . That man is completely crazy.
