It's very clear that Trump is not the brightest light in the harbour.
The evidence shows that he is a senile dullard.
I don't believe he's capable of some of the policies he's presenting.
Especially in international affairs.
Person or persons unknown are running the US.

Do you know anything about the guy who shot Trump? I don’t. Why is that?
We know about Lee Harry Oswald & even John Wilkes Booth. But the guy who shot Trump? Why do you think we know nothing about him?

These countries should organise an alternative contest and invite others to join them.
(Sadly, I think it's safe to say that the UK would never have the desire or the balls to join them.)

Trump has lied and continues to lie to the people of the US and others on an industrial scale. There has never been such a monumental liar in politics.
He is allowed to do it continuously & without challenge to the extent that it seems that the truth is no longer important to the people of the USA.

Trump abuses and attacks immigrants, black Americans, Muslim Americans, Native Americans, Latino Americans, LGBT Americans and disabled Americans. If you remove them from the vote he's f****d. Why do any of them vote for the GOP?

Football fans worldwide, who want to attend next year's World Cup, should be aware of this. Given the hatred many of us have for the mango Mussolini, his CBP will have no difficulty finding people to ban.

The US is now an autocracy. Criticism of the despicable mango Mussolini is not to be tolerated at any level. Name calling is to be limited to he alone. No chance of me visiting the US ever again.

Unionists are moaning about the number of asylum seekers who are sent to Glasgow. Actually more than 90% of those in Scotland are now housed there.
"Swinney's to blame!", "It's the SNP Glasgow council!", "It's the Scottish Government!".
Just to clarify, it's actually Westminster folks.
