I just wondered if any of the pro Trump right wing posters here have any comment on this? Trump posted it on his platform TruthSocial yesterday. Seems it's a step too far for some US Evangelicals finally. Is it a step too far for UK supporters, the kind that say we need a Trump or he could be our president?

It was a disgraceful message to send out.

eazybee Tue 16-Dec-25 09:06:38

It was an appalling comment.
No need to direct it towards 'pro Trump right -wing posters.'

Rage-bait?

IOMGran Tue 16-Dec-25 09:09:54

No, I have seen plenty of broadly pro Trump posts here eazy. I's a valid question. After all it was mentioned that after the social media 5 year trawl the only person allowed to travel to the US would be FGT!! I'd like to hear some cross party condemnation just to reassure myself that we all do have some basic core humanity.

When I first read it I thought someone else had written it in a satirical way and was horrified when I realised that it was actually written by Trump himself. I didn’t think that even Trump would stoop so low.

Yes, I’ve also seen plenty of pro Trump stuff on here. I’m sure that someone said that we needed someone like him running this country.

I actually went and checked on TS to make sure it was real. I was gobsmacked.

IOMGran Tue 16-Dec-25 09:13:34

Yes Maybee, I remember quite a few posts like that.

Lawdy - I’m only just turned 70 and having Senior Moments…🤦‍♀️. I misread the title and thought Trump had killed Rudolph!

Give him time Pantglas2, give him time.... grin

Trump is several years older than you pantglas and has loads of "senior moments"
I was appalled but not surprised.
Nothing surprises me anymore.

BTW how do we know he said that?

MayBee70 Tue 16-Dec-25 09:24:15

I hadn’t realised that Rob Reiner had directed The Princess Bride. I was only thinking the other day that my youngest grandchildren were probably old enough to watch and enjoy it; it’s such a classic film of it’s genre.

Do what I did, go to the source, you can see his feed without having to sign up to the cess pit platform.

Crikey!!!!

What a thing for him to have said...

If he didn't like him = then he should just have said nowt/kept his mouth shut.

Grandmabatty Tue 16-Dec-25 09:29:51

Grammaretto, it's been widely reported in the MSM. Many from both sides of the house have condemned the comments.

eazybee Tue 16-Dec-25 10:03:58

I repeat, an appalling comment but too much use of 'far right' by too many posters allied with something they deem unpleasant.

LizzieDrip Tue 16-Dec-25 10:05:56

Grammaretto here’s a link to one of the very many reputable reports about Trump’s disgusting post:

It's not left or centre, and I would argue it's far off to the right compared with on school one nation conservative. What does that make Trump and MAGA?

Where is the term ‘far right’ on this thread?

Wyllow3 Tue 16-Dec-25 10:18:37

Absolutely appalled with it.

Thank goodness his own party have objected.

LemonJam Tue 16-Dec-25 10:40:00

An absolutely appalling comment. Good to know that at least some of his right wing supporters in US have objected.

How could this be unexpected or shocking that he’d stoop this low? Two US politicians were brutally murdered for being the opposite of his “political” leanings and he intentionally said nothing, making a display out of his silence as his supporters cheered. During his first presidency when the young woman was murdered by the right wing terrorist at the white supremacist rally and he called the rally goers good people, comparing them to the counter protesters? He is evil. Evil

Not at all. It is perfectly reasonable to question the morality of someone else's politics. The person they see as a good leader tells us much about their morality. Politics are one thing, morality another.

AGAA4 Tue 16-Dec-25 11:24:29

It doesn't really surprise me that Trump would get revenge even when the man was dead.
He has no morality whatsoever.

LemonJam Tue 16-Dec-25 12:00:01

Trump set up his TruthSocial platform to give himself free rein to express his far right views and opinions. Trump said Reiner passed away "reportedly" due to his anger he caused to others through his incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME" etc etc. Using his own favoured expression Trump is evidently posting "fake news".

No such report exists. Neither does Trump mention that Reiner's son has been arrested for his mother and father's murder.

What's more unusual this time however is the direct pushback Trump is getting on TruthSocial from some of his usual supporters. Yet Trump doubles down. Will be interesting to see how his supporters are affected by this going forward.
