The Core of What Bothers Me About Donald Trump

[floo]

Talking more bollocks Floo!!!

He is not supporting Trump, if you listen to his speech at the meeting it is about how the elites/bankers have destroyed the peoples' livelihoods and disenfranchised their lives from their societies' standards of living. This group 'peoples' I assume includes you, judging by your Leftie antics so you should be supporting those who want to destroy the venal political elites and bankers.

I am far from left wing, but I detest racists like the evil Trump and Farage!

People like you don't even know what racist means. It's just used as a term of abuse at anything that upsets your little mind.

[Brownie]

Did you actually listen to Farage's speech? Or is this just more bollocks from the Lefties.

I read some newspaper reports on the internet Jack, I would not comment on something if I hadn't read about it.   Here is one news report that I've just read, I would hardly call the Express "Lefty" :

How do you define racism?
 
I am well aware of what racism is, and the nastiness of evil racist bigots. One of my adopted sons is black!

[Brownie]

Thank goodness he has you and husband and family to give him lots of TLC, floo.

I believe Farage is racist though I can't prove it but I don't think Trump is, he has just tapped into the current mood of (parts of) his country.  In fairness, so has Farage but he'd possibly be like that anyway.

We haven't seen our son for about five years. There was a parting of the ways, nothing to do with his race, I hasten to add. We do speak on the phone occasionally though.

Trump comments about ethnic minorities are racist. UKIP is the party of racism.

I am not following this thread, but every time I hear the title, I think, 'Is there anything that doesn't bother you about Trump?'' I cannot think of a single redeeming feature.

[Brownie]

I quite enjoyed him on the 'Apprentice USA', when I watched that, his name meant little to me; I knew he was very rich and that's about all.

Then I saw him on TV saying Obama wasn't an American and I thought he was potty.

Nor can I.

One of the things that would concern me is this: Trump has boasted that he can 'do business' with Putin, and maybe Putin would go along with that to an extent, but Putin is a pretty slippery customer - so what would Trumps reaction be if he realises he has been double-crossed?

A good question, particularly since they both appear to be obsessed with similar objectives:

   Trump: "to make America great again."

   Putin:   to make Russia great again!

Maybe a bit like Stalin and Hitler?

[floo]

Maybe a bit like Stalin and Hitler?

Yep!

[jeremyp]

is Trump any worse than Bush, Obama or Clinton? The answer is

The answer is absolutely yes. Trump tramples over everybody to get his own way. He has a smaller attention span than a goldfish and he is the most divisive politician ever to run for president as a candidate for one of the two main parties.

[Brownie]

Trump is not particularly clever and I can imagine Putin being able to pull more than one over on him.  Scary really.

I agree.

Yes, and what does the stupid man do when he realises that he has been made a fool of? Very scary

The Express have got it wrong. If you listen to the speech he doesn't endorse Trump. If you want a link to the speech I'll give you one but I've found that you lot don't bother with the links I give from UKIP.

Racism is an attitude that is constant for the racist where ever they are in the world. So for example the Nazis didn't like Jews where ever they were. Some Nazis came to Britain before the war and aired their hatred of them, even British Jews.

People here who object to immigrants swarming into our country are not racist because they don't have that attitude when they are abroad because they have no emotional tie to the foreign country they are in. People who they would restrict coming to the UK, and so be bias against them, they would happily socialise with in that persons own country. A racist doesn't do that, they look down on those they are racist against regardless of where they are and treat them with a contempt that is unconscionable.

People have a right to be concerned with their society, country and culture and neighbourhood; the place they call home.

He farts.

It wasn't just the Express Jack, that was the last thing I read but I will listen to the speech.  No need to post UKIP links (which many wouldn't want to open), there must be a youtube if I search.

Here it is, in its entirety :

Seen and listened now: Farage certainly was supporting Trump.  How anyone would think otherwise is beyond me!  It takes a little while for him to get into stride but there's no doubt why he is speaking.
He is quite a good speaker, I'll give him that.

Most of our ancestors were immigrants once!

I challenge you to show me where Farage endorses Trump.

[Jack Knave]

That's a stupid argument and misses the point I made. Because of your weak and insipid response I take it you haven't an intelligent repost and essentially you concede that I am right, being that most of your posts are just emotional bluster.

[jeremyp]

Huh?

Farage goes to the USA and speaks at one of Trump's rallies and you think he doesn't endorse Trump? What planet are you on?
