Trumpy Trumps no holds barred address to the UN.

Look it up. Braggadocious is not a new word, and Trump didn’t invent it.

He did seem to have invented a new country, though, something like Abberjaiban - it was apparently at war with Albania. Well, Trump must have ended that one, because it’s not going on any more.

It was in fact a different poster who said Trump had invented a new word and another poster agreed.
I didn't actually say either way.

This was not my post:
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.

Presumably Trump has been reading Spenser. 🤔

Just to add, he does seem to have his own vocabulary, so it wouldn't have been surprising 😀

Long ago it was said that 'all power tends to corrupt' and it looks as if Trump already had mental health issues, plus preferring opinion to fact, and being POTUS has accelerated his mental problems. Because of his power, people around him are afraid of speaking up.
It cannot be that all his team believe all he says or agree with all he does. Long ago, the court jester's role was to tell the monarch the truth, even if it was unpalatable. A risky job. But today America and the world need a courageous equivalent to the court jester to speak truth to power - to Trump.

If this was in a Netflix film we would say it was "far fetched". Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

It was the people of Britain who made the Baby Trump Blimp, because it reflected the way a lot of us see him. There were a lot of smaller ones being carried at last week’s march against Trump.

You seriously thought that blimp came from Sadiq Khan? Oh, my!

You obviously admire an idiot then FGT

You mean you believe in climate change and let’s use agricultural land to put up windmills and solar panels.

Let’s face it he’s saying what some of us are thinking -

The man is an offensive bigot and as mad as a box of frogs.

Well said!

Let’s face it he was just saying what some of us of a certain age are thinking.

Replying to suelld.

Illegal immigants in their taxpayer-funded hotel…

Here we go again.

Why on earth do you think our or any other government would be housing ILLEGAL immigrants in hotels or anywhere else?

The government has an internationally recognised duty to house asylum seekers – do you even understand what that means? Not just the UK, all countries have that duty, as long as applications are in progress. If they fail, though most don’t, they have to leave. If the application is successful, we no longer have the duty to house them, they have to fend for themselves.

But, most important, seeking asylum’s is legal. These are not “illegal immigrants”. You may decide you don’t want them in your country, but get your facts straight.

Obviously, someone should send for the men in white coats.

It’s so very worrying that a country that used to have common sense and leadership skills should now be under the thumb of this rude and ignorant narcissist. He thinks that every word that comes out of his mouth is so very very important and true. He spouts a lot of positively harmful nonsense. A very power mad ,dangerous man. God help this world.. and I mean that very sincerely.

My old dad would always say that someone would only blow their own trumpet because nobody else would. Well, the Trumpster had his own trumpet section going on at the UN yesterday.
It was cringeworthy.

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

To get rid of him you mean?

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.

What in particular? The climate change stuff? Immigration? The United Nations?
The seven wars he has ended?

Exactly… he’s changing the ‘helping hand’ humanity of what was the USA, into an Isolationist ‘help myself only’ selfish country, in the image of himself!
He LIES all the time … the USA is the “hottest”‘ country… don’t make me laugh (well I spluttered!) , everything in Americas garden is rosy according to him! When all evidence points to the contrary. Climate change is a hoax… yup that’s why heat and cold are ramping up, flooding ‘ like you’ve never seen before’ to use his own words, and as for the crew of malcontents he has attempting to run the country! Well, again, against all scientific evidence that Tyleol/ paracetamol is safe, he pronounces it dangerous, thanks to that crackpot he has as secretary of Health RFK Jnr! No wonder the Diplomats were rolling their eyes and he only got a smattering of applause, unlike other speakers! I despair, why can’t some people see through this Snake Oil Salesman. He also obviously holds a deep grievance that he didn’t get the contract to build the UN decades back, and he’s spending millions of YOUR money on turning the White House into his own personal Mar a Lago!
I could go on…and on…

The UK government needs to be very respectful of Trump as President surely?

A change of president may well have unknown consequences for the UK? Our relationship with the USA is not written in stone?

I imagine it is very difficult to be respectful to a man who doesn’t know how to respect others. Am no fan of Starmer but was glad he stopped Trump from bad mouthing Khan in front of him by holding out a hand and saying ‘hang on, he’s my friend’.
Was also disrespectful of Trump to bad mouth Khan in front of the UN, though many members wouldn’t know who the heck Khan is and must have wondered what Tump was waffling on about.
And was very disrespectful of Trump to lay into Zelensky in front of the world’s cameras.
But I think our government have managed to remain respectful towards Trump in extremely trying circumstances. Indeed they may not have succeeded at anything else but they have refrained from telling Trump to get lost, which I imagine is nigh on impossible at times.

FGT:
Apart from the fact that he hasn’t done what he promised in terms of ending the Ukraine war (ok, he can play his “that was a joke” card as he does when he’s caught out) or reducing prices, speaking your mind is NOT an admirable quality if what’s on your mind is offensive to others, and doing what you promised is not always good. If I said I was going to do a dump on your front doormat, and then I did a dump on your front doormat (NOT a thing I do, by the way) would you commend me for it? Because according to your reasons for admiring Trump, you would.

Read some fact-checking on his UN speech. Seriously. I fail to see how anybody can think it was anything but a major embarrassment for his country. So full of lies. Someone will be along to list them if you’re still unsure. Verifiable lies.

Too much TDS on this thread.

You think Khan was responsible for the Trump blimp? Talk about I'll informed and gullible.

And maybe more about you?
