he is an idiot and dread to think the state america will be in when he leaves.

Skallywag Sun 24-May-26 07:17:21

No one in their right mind would want to go to the US

He is an absolute Nutter in my opinion.

Why does he want this new Ballroom which is costing so much ? Does he even dance 🕺?

NotSpaghetti Sun 24-May-26 07:29:04

Wouldn't want to go atm nanna8!

So many folk won't visit the States just now, that the World Cup won't generate the expected revenue.

Apparently, he has survived another attempted assassination: whilst in Washington ( he's usually in Florida at the weekend): whilst not attending the wedding of his son..
Social media posts from the USA do suggest that this might be more than a mere coincidence. There has been a hiccup in the government agreeing to allocate significant sums towards the building of his Ballroom Bunker.
Several commentators are expecting posts from Mr Trump on the need, with great urgency, for the money to build this complex to ensure his safety.
How extraordinary that people in his own country doubt a shooting aimed at their President.

Crikey. My first thought was that he’s talked a lot about the fact that he wasn’t going to be at his sons wedding, probably then making a point of saying where he was going to actually going to be. Maybe, as well as surviving assassination attempts( which makes him even more messiah like amongst his followers ) it meant that his son wasn’t taking the limelight away from him?

Went to see a well known Scottish stand up last week. Discussing the evils of SM, said he used to Google what is Trump’s latest policy announcement when he woke at 5am (of a certain age). Now, just has to ask “what’s the mad b*****d done now?”

Spot on.

I’ve just tried to copy the article from The Times but it’s too long and I can’t make it more concise but it seems that he has reversed the ban on trophy hunting. He gets more despicable by the minute.

Maremia Wed 27-May-26 13:55:09

It would seem that he has aced another medical examination, or was it a dental appointment?

MayBee70 Wed 27-May-26 14:33:22

Fat is the new thin donchano...Trump is an Adonis....

Good oh that suits me😊 I must be the new Venus.

Wyllow3 Wed 27-May-26 14:40:16

So what is your planned ballroom design, WWM?
The Public need to know.

imaround Wed 27-May-26 20:00:04

Wait they are calling that shooting outside the White House and assassination attempt?

I need to turn the news on apparently.

I’m sure it’ll all be frightfully classy (not!)

As long as it’s got lots of gold and stuff rather like Buckingham Palace I don’t mind the style.

Bling is the look.

Casdon Wed 27-May-26 21:11:06

Surely more Versailles, you need lots of gold twiddly bits, putti, and fringing. You could add a bit of velvet leopard print to jazz it up a bit, and get out the St Trooex so you are suitably orange and don’t clash with the upholstery..

Casdon Wed 27-May-26 21:11:31

Tropez…

imaround Wed 27-May-26 21:39:09

I now have this image in my head of a combination of Buckingham Palace, Versailles and The White House.

I can't unsee that. grin It is also exactly what I would expecy him to do.
