On the news today Trump and Infantino were talking.
I noticed that Trump had a new hat with a new slogan
"Trump was right about everything."

The man is unbelievable

Respect has to be earned. He hasn't.

Trump has never deserved respect.

Gango Sun 16-Aug-26 07:09:28

I’m sure we all need help, some more than others
Just a few points
I don’t believe I’ve posted anything praising or supporting trump. Merely pointed out that a lot of the trump bashing has no real basis beyond emotional opinion
One person stated that trump created ICE when it was actually formed in 2003. Under Obama over 3m deported and over 60 killed under trump over 1m deported -not sure about the number killed but would imagine it’s less
I don’t know how this Post which was about Infantino suddenly became hijacked into an emotional tirade against trump.
With regards to disabilities - and again why did this even become a part of an infantino post?? - I treat all people the same, with respect and consideration until they show that they don’t deserve it

There is nothing aggressive about my posts and disagreeing with someones view is not baiting
I am providing rational comments, so if someone describes another as flabby and orange why on earth should I not think they are nutters
Seems like you want your views posted but nothing that disagrees

I am providing rational comments...

Well that's debatable.

Gango, my opinion of Mr Trump's behaviour towards a man with disabilities remains firm. I do not need to " get a grip and calm down". I have friends with children with disabilities and have had a professional interest in education for people with disabilities.
If Mr Trump thinks that his behaviour was acceptable, then shame on him.
If you think that Mr Trump's behaviours are acceptable, then shame on you.

Agree with this 100% Chocolateloving gran. I too have an interest in education for people with disabilities and I too would like to hear Gango’s thought on the matter.

Chocolatelovinggran Thu 13-Aug-26 16:44:59

Gango, as I explained, I do take Mr Trump's behaviours towards a man with disabilities personally, after many years in Special Education, and involvement with someone I know with severe and complex needs .
I repeat, if Mr Trump considered the public mocking of someone with a disability acceptable, shame on him.
Those who would defend this, shame on them.
What are your thoughts on this matter?

Pittcity Thu 13-Aug-26 16:32:07

Trump is championing the "Sunshine Protection Bill" which will make Daylight Savings time permanent.
He states that he is giving everyone in the USA an extra hour of daylight.
How can anyone be that stupid?

Maremia Thu 13-Aug-26 15:32:22

Re-reading your OP, Justwidowed, from other news, it looks as if Infantino is losing support.

People need to stop making generalisations personal. I’m sure everyone could bring a specific instance of their own on a topic that makes the general comment seem wrong or outrageous but that does not negate the generalisation
There are always exceptions

Maybe you all need help. A lot of energy to spout a view not facts just your opinions
Get a grip and calm down

Perhaps you might need some help too grin

Maremia Thu 13-Aug-26 13:59:22

He still has two years, and plenty of loyal enablers, to continue on his destructive path.
What has he done for the ordinary citizens of the USA?

The really stupid people who take issue with that and respond. He knows there are a section of people that will rail against anything he says so he pushes the boundaries to see how steamed up the stupid people will get Calm down and look past it. If you really don’t like what he does even if you’re not a us citizen then his presidential term is 4 years

Hmm, the really stupid people, and the stupid people, who get "steamed up" - and earlier are "foaming at the mouth" who should really just "calm down"...

I'm curious to learn if this is your normal debating style, or whether in an effort to defend a president who you appear to think is rather smart because he pushes people's boundaries you have rather let rip in this instance?

And, BTW - Trump will also "rail against" anything said by that "section of people" - regardless of who they are - because he gets quite "steamed up" himself if anyone disagrees with him. The difference is, they are not so much pushing the boundaries as attempting to hold him to account.

His presidential term is 4 years - not sure he'd quite agree with you there, he has repeatedly and seriously raised the prospect of a third term in office, though the jury appears to be out as to whether he's fooling around - but he's certainly floated the idea and is testing the waters. But, mitigatingly, he has indicated that a run for 2028 is on because, he's owed a 4th term because he believes the 2020 election was rigged against him!

Anyway, as non-US citizens, we'll continue to rant, steam, froth, etc, etc, because his antics and his tariffs affect the ROTW.

It appears you're new on GN - so welcome, if you are.

And now Karoline Leavitt is leaving the sinking ship.
Strange timing. Just back from maternity leave.

So she [wearing her cross which infuriates me; some Christian..] was happy to work for Trump with his evil policies and misogynistic behaviour when it affected the rest of the population and only left when it personally affected her. No thought for all the other lives that he has destroyed...words fail me...

I get what you’re saying.

However, this in no way even begins to mitigate the absolute carnage and damage and insults this man has caused in the last four years.

It’s no simply a blip.

People have died! That cannot be reversed when he’s gone!

As for making things up Gango, lemmings do not follow one another jumping off a cliff.

What is it that lemmings do then??

If the world could have packaged every single worst thing about a human and packed it into and ugly orange flabby carcass and given it lots of other peoples money to steal Trump would be the outcome. No class, no grace, no brain, no empathy, no sense, no care, a man who has never been loved for himself - there is nothing in that sack of ghastliness that is loveable - or loved anyone unless they can do something for him or he can abuse the power he has over them. He brought about the terrible public exposure of all that is appalling about America and humanity. There is no going back.

Agreed!

Trump also famously called US veterans chumps and suckers, which led to countless US citizens flying the US flag upside down in protest.
But let’s not forget how many allies he has badmouthed since coming to office.
The man is beyond the pale.

Chocolatelovinggran Thu 13-Aug-26 08:51:01

I have a particular dislike of one of the behaviours of Mr Trump, about which I have posted before.
He publicly mocked the body and spoken language of a man with cerebral palsy. This is the behaviour of a truly reprehensible man, and completely unforgivable. I cannot envisage this being acceptable to any previous POTUS, nor any British Prime Minister .
This illustrates who this man is, and how low he could go: he continues to demonstrate this day after day, celebrating the deaths of his political rivals, referring to anyone who disagreed with him as " low IQ " bombing civilians, and threatening sovereign nations.
And, undine, regarding his intellectual capacity, he was listed third from the bottom in his class of more than three hundred men in graduating from military college.
