Well what an address!
I agree with every word.
We have been warned, I just hope it’s not too late.

He did say that he is solely responsible for ending a whole lot of wars/conflicts and so should get the Noble Peace Prize.
Sorry Trumpy but I think Palestinians and Ukrainians will disagree.
So maybe don’t clear room on the mantelpiece.

Babs03 Nah, he 's going for the Nobel prize for medicine, he's just found a cure for autism.

Trump is no friend of the U.K. and we must never forget that.

To suggest any different shows such a poor judgement of character.

To single out one man, Sadiq Khan, to pour his venom on was despicable.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 23-Sept-25 19:41:39

He gave the UK lower tariffs than the EU WWmk2.

He may be telling it as he sees it but does the President not understand that his claims will be fact checked?

It looks like he's too far gone to be aware of that.
His UN performance was an excruciating embarrassment for USA. Surely they must do something now to have him step down on medical grounds.

There is talk of summoning the US ambassador to London to answer for such openly bigoted remarks.

That is a transaction that is not loyalty or friendship.

Time the men in white coats turned up to take Trump away.

They’re too busy dealing with Biden.

Not a very kind remark for a man showing signs of dementia.

LizzieDrip Tue 23-Sept-25 19:52:13

C’mon guys … after all, he ended that Abbabaijan war!!! You know, the country with ‘Dancing Queen’ as their national anthem🙈

I think the man has seriously gone mad now! If it wasn’t so serious, we could all laugh and ignore the idiot …

Delila Tue 23-Sept-25 20:22:05

The man is insufferable. I can’t bear to see him or hear his voice.

Well - He went into the serpent's nest and told them exactly how it is. Amazing! Some of those UN delegates would have been needing a defibrillator.

Trump doesn’t ‘do’ diplo-speak. But by gum he tells it as he sees it and I admire him for it.

FGT don’t you mind that Trump has been proven to lie on many, many occasions?

Doesn’t that matter to you?

Have you watched the C4 programme ‘Trump v The Truth’?

Kate1949 Tue 23-Sept-25 20:33:21

I can anyone, after listening to that speech, think that that man is sane?

Aely Tue 23-Sept-25 20:35:34

Oh Drat! I saw he was about to speak and changed channels. I really should have watched it for the entertainment value!

I tried to find Trump v the truth in "on demand" and "catchup" the other day but it wasn't there. Has it now appeared?

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 23-Sept-25 20:35:58

Trump says exactly what he thinks, gets elected on his promises and in office as POTUS does exactly what he has promised to do. Refreshing.

StripeyGran Tue 23-Sept-25 20:40:07

It's bizarre this bowing down to the "tell it is as it is" brigade.

Farage is another.

What they are telling is a pack of lies.

... and, I would add, show little care for your own country.

The unbearable speech was not for us or for the General Assembly, it was for his core back in the US. If he stays in power he stays out of prison.

There seems to be talk of group of progressive international leaders getting together to fight the far-right. It seems like the moment when the free world recognised that they had to oppose Hitler or their countries would be subsumed by a man who had always been their enemy. Canada and Mexico havd already got the measure of the man they and I am sure will be glad to have some allies.

Kate1949 Tue 23-Sept-25 20:41:49

What exactly has he done? I think saying exactly what you think shows a lack of respect. He certainly lacks that, amongst other things.

It's exactly what happens if people become dangerous.

Some scientists are even working on a ‘cow fart vaccine’.
I read about this months ago.

Trump debunks the whole idea.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 23-Sept-25 20:52:43

In 2030 Denmark plans to tax farmers regarding their cow farts.

However, over in Iowa:

Oh dear the bar is being set pretty low

DaisyAnneReturns Tue 23-Sept-25 20:57:59

It starts pretty low on this subject sadly Whitewave.

It’s on C4 catch-up TV now👍

Trump pushed nations to accept his worldview, claiming he was always correct and touting MAGA hats that read, "Trump was right about everything.”

To quote him:
"I don't say that in a braggadocios way, but it's true”

To add to his multiple unsung talents(!) he has surely invented a new word.
