Inherited a fortune blatantly used bankruptcy several times to thwart creditors, is he to be trusted, doubtful, will he put America first, yes, will he feather his own nest, absolutely..😁 Last time round he didn't take the POTUS wage. Hardly nest feathering. He's akin to Croesus, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 He doesn't need the money, let's see what he gets up to over the next 6 months and then start moaning. I wonder when TTK and Useless Lammy will be granted an audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he found other ways of feathering.

JohnfromUK Posted Sunday at 17:51 Report Share Posted Sunday at 17:51 It seems that Trump thinks Starmer is doing a "good job".

NoBodyImportant Posted Sunday at 18:28 Report Share Posted Sunday at 18:28 On 16/01/2025 at 01:12, 12gauge82 said: Ive never been a fan of Trump, I don't like the way he speaks, he appears arrogant, boastful and at times disrespectful and always considered him a bit of a narcissist. All that said, I can't deny my negative opinions of him have shifted, while I still find the language he uses to be at best un-diplomatic, there have been several events that have led me to believe, nobody can question his determination, belief in his own set of principles and ability to lead and get things done. He's just secured a cease fire between Israel and Palestine before even taking office, beaten an obvious attempt at politically motivated lawfair, won a second term in office, despite clear media bias, was the first American leader to visit North Korea, is clearly respected by strong man dictators around the world, and crucially for me, although less of a measureble achievement, showed great courage during a very nearly successful assassination attempt, which stood out for me, as his bravery in the face of near death is not something someone can fain, I felt it was a glimpse at his inner self that couldn't be faked. I believe most world leaders would have understandably cowered behind their security. He is the leader of the largest, most powerful Army that has ever existed. Of course he is arrogant. Trump doesn’t negotiate with his enemies, he tells them what he expects them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted Sunday at 18:39 Report Share Posted Sunday at 18:39 I took these pictures of the day Trump left office in 2020 and again yesterday. This is what Biden did to us. Same store in the same town, 4 years apart. This last four years has been a wild ride. $22.58 with Biden took office and $40.40 this morning.

Houseplant Posted Monday at 03:16 Report Share Posted Monday at 03:16 3 hours ago, NoBodyImportant said: Yeah but they are Chinese soldiers. Yes and they will do exactly what they are told without thinking which makes them more dangerous. After the utterly pointless wars or Iraq and Afghanistan, I can't imagine servicemen of either the US or the UK would be willing to give up their lives so freely.

That is still cheaper than here in the UK. Mainly because our meat is expensive. The milk, bread and eggs are cheaper here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he is arrogant. Trump doesn’t negotiate with his enemies, he tells them what he expects them to do. I don't disagree with you all though sometimes diplomacy gets better results. Trump has offered a hand of friendship to the UK and our so called leaders have stuck two fingers up at him, which is not only stupid, but does not speak for UK citizens. I believe Trump is well liked by many here and his actions viewed with envy compared to our useless ruling party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
