Trump

The electorate have had their say, it is their decision.

Whether or not GN members agree with them is not going to change anything.

Name calling is not the answer, whatever side of the pond it occurs.

For what it’s worth I think Donald Trump won this election the day he was shot at the rally.

I hope those celebrating know that Trump wants to get rid of NATO, along with Putin. Indeed this morning the consensus is that he will treat his European allies - the UK included - with the same contempt he reserves for China.

Lord above! Keir Starmers congratulation message to Trump has just been featured on BBC Radio.......talk about crawling sycophancy and the reference to The Special Relationship was nothing short of oily, clumsy and embarrassing.

Grovelling at best, but he won't be able to send that clown Lammy to do any diplomacy.

Politely please, somebody tell me what they like about him and his policies?

Well.. Trump's back! there is Hope for Boris 😅

What else could he do? If he said what he really thought, where would that leave the UK? He has to protect our interests. I am sure the words were sticking in his throat, but he has done his duty.

I feel physically sick. Misogyny, racism, criminality, hatred, violence, ignorance and conspiracy theories all elevated and revered. I'm done with Gransnet goodbye.

Please grey we need people like you. It is utterly sickening. And the crowing from people here.
For the Love of God, What is wrong with you?

Whatever you think of Trump himself, it actually beggars belief that a convicted felon is even allowed to run for office. I can't get my head around that at all.

Democracy in the USA is a double-edged sword. It gives the right to vote but cannot prevent a convicted criminal with a mental health problem from standing for office.
"Spin" has taken over politics, and truth is sidelined. Let us hope there are some wise people with kindness in their hearts who can help to guide this ship for all our sak

I share your feelings Greyisnotmycolour: but not everyone agrees with the Trump supporters on GN. Don't go.

Has anyone read 'The Dead Zone' by Stephen King or seen the film? Greg Stillson seems positively sane in comparison with Trump.

He may well go for a third term

Bizarre and dangerous days ahead for the whole world.
At least Netanyahu and Putin will be celebrating.

I totally agree. The world will be on pins for the next four years. Sad days indeed.

Not good news for UK and Europe. Trump may pull out of NATO which would put us in danger from Russia and others.

He’ll take America out of the Paris Climate agreement, too, as he did before.

I will never understand how even one person can vote for that vile piece of **, never mind millions. America, you disgust me!

Democracy is about accepting the majority vote, it's perfectly ok not to like the result and to discuss it, that's a benefit of living in a democracy IMO

Exactly! Unfortunately, it seems some people don't actually understand the concepts of democracy or free speech.

FriedGreen I could not agree more! Well done Mr Trump! Well done the American people!

Why? What do you think the American people have achieved?

Victory for Trump has been declared. I don’t think Harris can catch him. I’m not surprised. Biden had long lost the plot, and Harris has been so inept as VP. The Democrats need to pick better candidates next time.

Well I’m delighted. 🤩
Congratulations Mr. Trump. You’ve shocked the naysayers.
There will be howls now (think Brexit here). Some people only like democracy when their side wins.

Does being nasty give you some kind of pleasure?

So much hyperbolic nonsense on here already.
Not unexpected to be honest.
I shall withdraw. This is not ‘discussion of a democratic vote’ foxie it’s silly character assassination. No reasoning when comments are so febrile.

I also felt sick in my stomach as I turned the tv on to see the Trump camp celebrating and partying.

Congratulations Elon Musk - you finally managed to buy The White House........

Spot on here! This isn't about democracy, it's about rampant and uncontrolled capitalism.

I feel sick that a supposedly intelligent nation could vote this bumbling old man in again.

Where now? Chaos and mess. Yes, Putin will be in his element along with Netanyahu and that truly odious man, Nigel Farage.
