Expletive ridden talk by Trump this afternoon, Easter Sunday

*unprofessional

I sometimes think I'm asleep and having a nightmare about a disgusting person called Trump. But no, this awful human being is real and he is ruining the world.
I think his sweary message sums up his character really.

When I first read his message I thought it was a wind up, knowing no statesman would use such language on an open forum. How wrong was I?!! The man has completely lost the plot and I can't for the life of me understand why the Republicans aren't taking action en masse to remove him before he causes any more damage to the Republican Party and more importantly to the US and the rest of the world. Goodness knows what he's going to do next, he's a ticking timebomb.

Wandering around the internet, I was amazed at how much support and even admiration Trump seems to still have. Not just in the USA. It is very worrying.

This is how the Hitler's of this world get to rule.
They try to make the complex simple and people fall for it.

Hitlers .. spell check just loves an apostrophe...

And in other news people are travelling to the moon. What an insane world 🌍

He said he wants to return them to the Stone Age…so he’s bombed their two main universities. The ones that were at the epicentre of the anti regime protests .

It seems to me that Trump has a narcissistic rage meltdown because he does not get what he wants.

The Iranian evil regime, on the other hand, is very good at taunting him and pushing his buttons in retaliation since they said they are going to shut the other strait leading to the Red Sea.

My concern is in this: Trump is so unpredictable, in his desperation will he start a nuclear war on Iran?

I have no issue with swearing and what others consider “foul language” To me these are just words and I do use them, at times.

HOWEVER, they are not appropriate words to use in a public serving role or really any professional capacity, or in front of, or by children.

I just can not believe what he says and how he say it!

Am with you there. His language, not just the swearing but he way he peevishly insults other world leaders, is something I have never heard used by a US president in all the 76 years I have been alive.
It sounds so bizarre and remarkably disrespectful or professional.

Yes, he seems bizarre, disrespectful, and unprofessional.

That’s my concern as well SporeRB
Hesgeth is another crazy and they’ve sacked Generals. Presumably the ones saying this war is illegal and creating more problems

Just wondering..........Mister Trumps richest supporters including Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg have been oddly silent since the illegal war began.

They were at his second swearing-in, grinning like village idiots, jostling for pole position in the group photograph.

Where have they gone now?

Yes, he does have a lot of support - and that's the reason he will not be removed from office by the GOP.

I've been watching a 'roving reporter' at the CPAC convention or whatever it's called randomly interviewing people wearing various apparel with the stars-and-stripes blazoned on it - many of them elderly. Their responses make it quite clear that they have a very narrow world-view together with a cult-like admiration for a man they genuinely believe is 'saving' America. Listening to them you can see that there is no room for questioning his behaviour, past or present, There is almost a uniform lack of critical-thinking skills, interrupted only by one or two hesitant individuals who are willing to pause for thought.

Trump is astutely finely-tuned into this mindset. When he declared "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

... he was right.
The only way he will be removed from office is via his own decision to leave it, or by a medical episode that leaves him with no choice in the matter.

Probably ‘smirking all the way to the bank’ mae13.

Apparently there’s been a lot of money to be made from this war - for the already very rich, of course!

It sounds like panic to me. "Open the f***ing strait you b*****ds or there will be hell. Praise be to Allah.
This from the president of the US. He really isn't fit for the job. Swearing gets you nowhere.

It may be panic or jus bluster, but that does not either explain or excuse the use of such crude language.

There is an American politician who has just started canvassing for the 25th Amendment, which I think means removing a President who is no longer fit to govern.
Will try to find his name for you.
Obvs, he is one of the Democrats.

Lawmakers, not politicians, and they are Ed Markey and Yassamin Ansar.

"There is almost a uniform lack of critical-thinking skills."

This is what I mean about making the complex simple. It absolves the populace from having to think at all. Their leader says X is a baddy ( be it your neighbour or the other side of the world) so I will get rid of X for you... deport, or bomb, or shoot in the street. And those who can't be arsed to think for themselves just sigh with relief and think big daddy is protecting them so they can just get on with consuming and living the life.

These people, lucky Girl , are insular , do not know what the world thinks and more than likely do not care.They watch news about their town, foreign news is out of state news, but still
about US.

It truly is! F he was some really charismatic character who spoke eloquently and had shown his own country some real benefits of his leadership, I might just about understand his continued support BUT….. in his first months thousands of govt employees were sacked by Elon and the MAGA department, then gawd knows how executive orders slipped through, then his bragging about stopping two wars, then ICE, then starting another war, tanking his own economy, insulting lord knows how many other countries leaders and his mad, sweary ranting, I mean what’s not to like 😱😱🙄🙄

The sheer size of the USA, compared to the European Continent, creates a kind of 'self-contained' bubble that probably makes the need to know what's going on in the rest of the world feel a tad 'unnecessary'?

Having said that, how much do non-Americans know about individual states in the US?

I once lived for some time in a quite isolated farming community in the Lincolnshire countryside having moved from Richmond in Surrey. It's amazing how you can become removed from world politics and enmeshed in local issues that matter far more if their effects are immediate. I found myself much more interested in whether the church 3 miles away should be used as a youth club to possibly deter teenagers roaring around quiet country lanes on souped-up mini-bikes with small cc engines because there was "nowt else to do"!

Iran has rejected Trump's cease fire deal; no surprise there so what will Trump do/threaten to do now.

Iran has rejected Trump's cease fire deal; no surprise there so what will Trump do/threaten to do now.

'Iran can be taken out in one night, and that might be tomorrow night,' says Trump.

According to the latest news report.

What sort of fire power could achieve that in such a huge country?

Can you imagine how. Charles and Camila will be humiliated
when they visit, what a ridiculous jdea,
