Is it really Radical Left Wing Scum? Did he actually say that? I was surprised at first and then not so surprised.

Absolutely, Eleothan, just when you think that Mr Trump can sink no lower, he continues to surprise.

and Trump is RRWS.

The word scum is often used in American films, "rebel scum", so it fits with Trump.

Though a British red-haired lady politician (I kinda like) used it too.

llfl?

I typed that immediately after ladyleftfields entry. But then got sidetracked by a conversation at home. By the time I listed it, the conversation had moved onπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.

Quite usual for me.

The thing about scum is, it rises to the top.
Just like cream does.

I’ll sign up to be one if it means I get a hot chocolate and a biscuit. πŸ˜€

Fallingstar Fri 02-Jan-26 10:55:02

Oh so we know now. It means Radical Left Wing Scum. I missed that bit. Will still sign up for a hot chocolate and a biscuit because any opposition to Trump must have something going for it.

Does the biscuit float to the top if if falls into the hot chocolate? πŸ˜€

Hardly a Lady more like a potty mouthed politician

Grossly insulting your political opponents is nothing new. I was interested to read that in 1948 Aneurin Bevan said of the Conservatives that they were "Lower than vermin."

I am sure there are plenty more examples. It's just that Trump seems to vilify the left in the most disgusting way every time he makes a speech about anything, which seems to be a daily occurrence.

Casdon Fri 02-Jan-26 17:20:54

Aneurin Bevan was constantly in trouble, but he was more erudite.

"No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin."

I think every generation of politicians has a share of potty mouths, but they aren’t generally actually potty, unlike pot US himself. .

Magenta8 Fri 02-Jan-26 17:40:06

To be fair Bevan was intelligent and articulate. He genuinely cared about welfare and improving conditions for everyone regardless of income. Quite the opposite of Trump in fact.

imaround Fri 02-Jan-26 17:46:02

I had no idea what it meant when I started reading this thread, but if Trump doesn't like it, then sign me up.

I have been called worse in my life. smile
