Trump Attempts To Row Back On His Remarks......

I think the lesson we must take out of this past week, is that, the only way to deal with Trump is to stand firm and when necessary fight back.

Last Wednesday showed us how he caves in when forced.

Carney showed us how.

All of this is keeping the Epstein files off the front page, only 2% of heavily redacted files have been released so far, when will the rest be released? Trump is a master of the media, it is his greatest achievement and because he has absolutely zero empathy for anyone, all of this anger towards him will roll off him as "fuss about nothing." He hasn't apologised, he's just made a different statement that contradicts what he said before, classic Trump!

I don't think I've ever loathed anyone as much as I loathe Trump, the ignorant pig.

Yes

foxie, I agree absolutely with your comments about the Epstein files. All of the latest bluster is about ensuring that no one is talking about files relating to the exploits around the late Mr Epstein:
and look it's worked!
He'll need another cunning plan, of course, soon, but I'm sure he will think of something. Maybe the film " Melania", coming out next week ,will be useful.

It has been suggested that King Charles contacted Trump. If it is true I would think he would take more notice of him than of Starmer.

I agree too regarding distracting from the Epstein Files. His actions don’t seem to be impressing Americans any more than they are the rest of us though, so he is weakening his defences constantly. I really don’t think he is capable of understanding the potential consequences of anything he does.

So many people say that this menace doesn’t have a filter and so will say something absurd, insulting, and damaging without considering the consequences, as if we should then make allowances for this. But this man is the president of a superpower not just a bloke down the pub who shoots his mouth off, so if he does this he certainly shouldn’t be the former and the world would feel much safer if he was the latter.

Last thing he wants is for the King's visit to be cancelled

It was reported that Starmer had spoken to him again and told him how angry he'd made us. Let's at least give Starmer credit when it's due.

You’re right Easybee it is reported that a private message from King Charles brought about Trump’s backtracking. I find this far more likely than him taking the slightest bit of notice of Starmer.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true and that Trump realised the visit from King Charles was likely to be cancelled. He does love a Roysl!

Quite.

Just how can his wife and family stand by silently supporting him.
They are as culpable as him by their silence.
He is sick and should be treated as such.

I can’t see that it has been reported that the King personally contacted Trump. What I’ve seen is that he made his concern about Trump’s remarks known, and that was fed back to Trump, who then tried to retract what he had said, for UK only.

Heaven forbid that anyone would give the PM credit for anything he does…

That was not an apology from Mr Trump. It looks like a secretary either copied a message from the King which was apparently delivered in a Diplomatic bag, or posted similar sentiments expressed by Mr Starmer. There was no apology. Mr Trump should have apologised personally leave on air, but even that is insufficient.

"Live!" Blooming spell check!

Well, who would have thought it.. almost an apology..

As near as we will get, apparently Starmer phoned him to tell him of our national anger at the remarks.

I believe King Charles sent Trump a message expressing concern over his comments and Trump’s message was a response to that.

The King made sure Trump knew of his concerns, but didn’t send him a personal direct message.

‘A source told The Sun King Charles reached out through back channels to speak to Trump, adding: ‘It was made very clear that the King’s concern over the hurt had been caused by the comments, whether inadvertent or not.’’

I heard on BBC Newscast that the King sent a message to Trump in a diplomatic bag

He has made almost one billion dollars for himself and his Family since his return.
There would be a riot if they tried to rein him in.
They would have to love him enough, to make the effort.

We know what Trump is.
77 million people with dark black unkind hearts voted for trump……Twice. They may not vote for him or his kind again but the damage is done and we now know what his and those peoples hearts look like.

Very unfair to his wife and children, they can’t answer for him.

Unfair to the children, perhaps, but not to the wife!

If one is so unfortunate as to find out one is married to a compulsive liar, it is ones duty to try to stop him from damaging others and his own image by telling lies.

Indeed. The draft dodger is a master at manipulating and distracting.
