monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I've lost interest in following the thread since the idiots highjacked the topic.

Yeah, like the other cheese-eaters, you aint got much to say anymore, because nothing's going your way anymore. If Trump were indicted tomorrow, y'all would be in this thread by the hundreds.

Aint gunna happen. Bye.

It really tells you something about half the country doesn't it?

Theresa May has revealed that Donald Trump advised her to “sue the European Union” rather than negotiate with the 27-country bloc in a private conversation that the US president referred to during his visit to the UK on Friday.

The prime minister was asked on the BBC’s The Andrew Marr Show what was the “brutal” advice that Trump had referred to in their joint press conference outside the prime minister’s Chequers country retreat.

Revealing it for the first time, May said: “He told me I should sue the EU.” Her remarks will be interpreted as a put-down of the president. She indicated she had disregarded the advice: “Actually we’re going into negotiations with them.”

How effectively have the propagandists misused this short sweet scene?

She shuffles briefly behind Trump, at one point disappearing behind him altogether.

Maybe the CIA can waterboard Trump and make him talk? The guy is a wimp; he'll be easy to break.

Not earth shattering, but, yeah, tiresome and predictable.

The United States may be Germany's No. 1 ally, but two-thirds of Germans think that the US president is more dangerous than his Russian counterpart. That's not surprising when you look at Germany's political priorities.

When asked which world leader was the greater threat to world security, 64 percent of respondents chose US President Donald Trump over his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. That's according to a Yougov poll published on the eve of Trump's meeting with Putin in Helsinki.

And the German antipathy for Trump doesn't end there: 56 percent thought that Putin was more competent than Trump, with only 5 percent preferring the former to the latter on that score. Thirty-six percent of Germans find Putin more likable than Trump, while 6 percent say the opposite — although most respondents refused to indicate a preference on that question.

And, perhaps most surprisingly, 44 percent said Putin was more powerful than Trump, compared with only 29 percent who thought the US president has more power.

German conservatives share the general public's dislike of Trump. People who voted for Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) also found Putin more likeable, competent and powerful than the US president by margins similar to respondents as a whole. In fact, conservative voters were slightly more likely (66 percent) to class Trump as the bigger threat than people overall in the poll.
... ... ...
The reasons for the German antipathy toward the US president run deeper than a visceral response to Trump's abrasive leadership style. Germans simply have different priorities.

In a new poll carried out by the Emnid organization for the "Bild am Sonntag" newspaper, in which respondent were asked to rank which political issues they considered most important, "increasing defense spending" - a Trump - came in dead last with only 16 percent.

According to the poll, Germans are also not particularly concerned with a rise in migrants to Europe - only 38 percent said they would prioritize "limiting immigration." What worries Germans most are becoming poor in their old age, maintaining equal educational opportunities for all and improving their health-care system.

...he’s not a respecter of this protocol of manners established for the Queen and generally followed by all heads of state,

It’s ironic that the man so many British people hate, is one of the very few people who can help save them from themselves.
