Im not at all pro trump but IMO this is awful

It is not a "protest". Ive been on protests. They have a point and an aim

What is point/aim here?
That they don't like his appearance & don't want UK to even try to negotiate?
They don't want us to be the "bigger person" as a nation? they want us to be as childish and petty as him?

Its embarrassing and diplomatically dangerous, NOT an exercise in constructive protect or free speech

Oh my, Mr T now says he misspoke and Russia may have interfered plus, he loves the American security services so that’s all ok then

Wasn’t that an amazing thing to see? Trump in defensive mode, arms crossed saying that ( new favourite) word miss-spoke! Apparently, so he would have us all believe he said the word ‘would’ ( as in, ‘why would the Russians do that?’)
When he really meant to say ‘why wouldn’t the Russians do that?’ Regarding meddling in the US election.
Why wouldn’t they indeed.
Extraordinary!

What's incredible is how his followers cannot (or will not) see him for what he is. A walking catastrophe.

Reminds me of the joke about the little boy in RE class. Teacher asks " Who broke down the walls of Jericho?"
Little boy puts up his hand "It wasn't me miss, it was him!"

That is perfect Merlogran I have seen similar with TM as BJs handmaid.

If it was a film ... .. Dumb and Dumber springs to mind.

Who put the lights out?
A metaphor?
The lights are on but there's nobody in!hmm

I suppose he realised he had better stay on the good side of the security service, they are after all responsible for his safety and he wouldn't want any nasty slip ups would he? After all there is the story of who really shot Kennedy!!! grin

Exactly, trisher.
