Is Mister Trump Surgically Welded To That Baseball Cap?

I am not the person to ask about individual cases….Allira … I don’t think my neighbour deserves hers come to think of it but since when has that mattered?

Some people lead extraordinary without honours.

So you don't think those three people deserve their honours?

🤔

I doubt very much that any of these people are able to be questioned by Joe Public …. Well protected from the great unwashed RosieandherMaw

Really?

You don't know who knows whom or whose DH might be a Sir on Gransnet (hence the Gransnetter could have the courtesy title of 'Lady' eg Lady Jones). There may be a few Dames amongst us too!

And as we know” There ain’t nothing like a dame…”🎶🎶🎶

Lives …

Some people lead extraordinary without honours.

Yes, those three people (and others) certainly had their problems.

Sorry, I am all for titles if they mean honouring the hard work people do on behalf of others.

Quite right I don’t know…. Although of course hasn’t changed my opinion that it is very much an anachronism…. And the titled individuals I have known in the past had their problems too ….. Allira

You may think so, I couldn’t possibly comment.

Not that many people are into titles these days - we’re supposed to be living in a meritocracy. It’s a bit last century?

PS ask Sir David Beckham, Sir Gareth Southgate , Dame Judi Dench et al how they feel they might “merit” or otherwise their title?

You may think so, how does that preclude a title such as President - an elected office. Does that breach meritocracy rules?

Oooh! There is a lot of Bitchiness about President Trump going on here .
The sad part is have yous all had a look at your own PM Mr Starmer Now that’s what you would call a Mess ……

And he is * Sir Keir Starmer*

Is common courtesy dead these days?

Love him or loathe him (and I belong to the latter persuasion), it’s President Trump.

Well Iran seems to have quietened down for a few weeks, so the war scenario is on hold, plus tariffs - if they work for the USA why not? Abuse of executive power - I don’t think so as probably covered under stealth or some category to allow presidential action as opposed to inertia.

'Whataboutery'.

There's plenty to discuss about Starmer, but this thread is about Trump who is, arguably, the most powerful politician in the world. Unlike Starmer.

There's little to be gained from comparing the two.

Tariffs, a possible war scenario, and the abuse of executive power - these are global matters.

Fartooold. your son is to be congratulated ! Hope he has forgiven you for getting rid of his red baseball cap - replace with a blue one perhaps !?

BBC News - Nato boss commends 'daddy' Trump's handling of Israel-Iran conflict - BBC News
www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c1e0nnx60q6o
Have world politics really descended to this level of childish dialogue? How much more humiliated do world leaders need to be to accept Trump being called daddy?

Nato's secretary-general Mark Rutte appeared to approve of the language previously used by the US president about Israel and Iran.
During a press briefing in the Netherlands, Rutte and Trump discussed the conflict between the two countries.
Referencing Trump's use of an expletive on Tuesday, Rutte said: "And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language."

Well he doesn’t actually. Because he then back tracks on things, after causing as much damage as possible ( and getting himself into the forefront of the days news).

“Love home or loathe him at least when he makes a decision he see it through”

I’m not sure why you think that’s necessarily a good thing. If I promise to do a dump on your doorstep, and I then follow through by doing a dump on your doorstep, will you praise me?

Besides, following through on a decision could be disastrous if it’s an impulsive, bad decision. That attitude sounds like his MAGA supporters commending him for “always speaking his mind”. What’s actually on his mind would often be much better left where it was!

It keeps his very thin, Shredded Wheat-looking hair still . He's a very powerful billionaire, he doesn't give a toss about what people think.

Menopauselbitch have you heard that he is being called taco by his fellow Americans?
