Just that really.

The one and only thing I can say good about Trump was that during his presidency he did not drop one bomb!

CraftyGranny Sat 27-Feb-21 10:27:52

My son said this would happen before Biden even took office.
I can't see this bringing the country together.

Exactly GrannyGravy13.
This must be very worrying for the us people and quite possibly all of us.

EllanVannin Sat 27-Feb-21 10:37:56

Oh no ! Give Trump his due, he'd have talked a way out of it.
This will be disastrous !

Oh no.

grannyrebel7 Sat 27-Feb-21 10:45:56

Oh no! I was very happy with Sleepy Joe and the glamorous Jill in the Whitehouse. I thought it would be a breath of fresh air after Trump. My DH said he was a war monger, seems he was right - he always bloody is smile

I think that a lot of the USA and the world in general were so focused on how bad Donald Trump was they saw Joe Biden as their saviour, unfortunately I think he is anything but!

He signed more /executive Orders in his first week than Trump did in four years.
Including reversing the peace treaty between the Arab States and Israel; shutting down the oil pipeline, putting thousands more people out of work. Reversing all the good things Trump had put in place.
Its all there in black and white online, but you have to read through the orders, rather than just read the titles, to see exactly what he has done.
Now he is talking about regulatory drafting of women into the forces.

Sorry that should have read worrying for the US people.

Biden has always been a hawk. In the long run he will may be worse than Trump. I just have a really nasty feeling about him and I am just so thankful I am not American. We should all beware of wolves in sheep’s’ clothing, he is not what we think.

Urmstongran Sun 28-Feb-21 09:04:04

I always liked Trump.
?

Urmstongran Sun 28-Feb-21 09:07:43

Woke Biden has also made it legal now for transgender men to compete against cis women. Complete madness! No level playing field there. If I were a woman competitor I’d withdraw from any competition so rigged. It must be a slap in the face for those women involved in sport.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 28-Feb-21 09:21:09

Totally agree Urmstongran Joe Biden has alienated women in sport, and killed Syrians all within his first five weeks. How much more damage can he do over the course of his Presidency?

MerylStreep Sun 28-Feb-21 10:22:32

Oh no ?. Is Uncles Joes Haloe slipping.

Firecracker123 Sun 28-Feb-21 12:44:26

I see Biden's fanclub on GN has deserted him, embarrassed I expect. Remember how they savaged Trump and anyone who dared to say they liked him. How things change ?

NannyC2 Sun 28-Feb-21 14:59:31

At last people are wakening up!
Donald Trump will be making a speech live today.

Galaxy Sun 28-Feb-21 15:06:39

It's possible to raise concerns about Biden and recognise Trunp for what he is. How have we got to a place where this is not understood.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 28-Feb-21 15:11:19

I was not a Donald Trump fan, but I was immensely pleased that he made peace with other countries not war.

Alegrias1 Sun 28-Feb-21 15:37:38

I wouldn't say I'm in Biden's fan club but I'll speak up for him. Not embarrassed at all. Still think Trump is a dangerous lunatic. Anyway.....

I have no idea why Biden's made an air strike on Syria, can anybody enlighten me? Don't know if its a good thing or not.

However what I do know is that Biden hasn't signed more executive orders in his first week than Trump did in his whole presidency. Biden has signed 49 orders since he came into office, Trump signed 220 while he was president.

Best not to make stuff up CraftyGranny, especially when it can be checked just with Google.

American forces were attacked a few days ago in Iraq and this was the US response.

It's all to do with the Iran-Iraq conflict. Iran is fighting a "proxy" war against Iraq with militias in Syria, which are loosely supported by the Syrian government.

Thanks growstuff

Parsley3 Sun 28-Feb-21 15:55:56

Unfortunately,Trump did not make peace in his own country.

MayBee70 Sun 28-Feb-21 16:00:58

Trump was too busy creating a civil war within his own country to have wars with other countries.
