Trump Just Can't Help Himself, Can He?

Now saying he's glad The Sussex's are back in the UK and "I wouldn't have taken them back". Well, Donny, you are no gentleman and will never have a fraction of King Charles' dignity, graciousness and diplomacy.

Further, he went on to claim he had a good friendship with the late Queen.........well, she isn't here to give her views on that claim, now is she?

I'll always recall when he visited the UK and walked in front of HRH when they went to inspect the guard. The only protocol Trump observes is "me first, me second and me last!"

I agree about King Charles' dignity, graciousness and diplomacy but in terms of The Sussex's coming back to the UK, there's nothing he could have about it even if he'd wanted too.

Just a reminder that she was HM - Her Majesty- not Her Royal Highness. blush

I would argue that Trump helps himself to everything, straight in there with both hands and a shovel 🙄

It’s about time the men (and women) in white coats came for him. Just think, this appalling creature has access to the nuclear codes and he has surrounded himself with sycophants.

I remember the incident when Trump was here on a State visit and walked in front of the late Queen.
It was widely criticised at the time but then I read that protocol states that guests of the monarch should walk in front, so in that instance Trump was correct!

Of course whether he knew that or just barged ahead anyway is up for debate!

Why do we need to know what Trump ‘thinks’ about everything?

Tbh he really doesn’t seem to ‘think’ but I get what you are saying, however, I think it is essential that we are constantly reminded of how a democratic vote in a first world country has resulted in Trump, lest voters are tempted to make the same mistake.

Of course he wouldn't have "taken them back" - he's a spiteful old man who appears to spend half the night ranting and raging on Truth Social against anyone who's attempted to hold him to account because his delicate ego cannot accept criticism, justified or not.

Not only does Charles have more dignity and graciousness, he's intellectually superior to this man-child who appears to only understand relationships in terms of a transactional 'deal'...

Anyway, who asked him for his opinion?

He is ramping up the possibility of violence for the upcoming elections. I don't care what he says at this point, it doesn't make sense anyhow.

Armed ICE agents at polling centers. USPS has already said they won't deliver ballots by mail, which leaves Colorado, Washington, and one other, disenfranchised. Millions of votes. He knows he will lose, so he is preparing for violence, IMO.

Personally, I am preparing for a long period of civil unrest just in case. Food, water, medicines, etc.

He can't help himself because he is mentally ill, but there are those around him who hopefully are not and could and should deal with this situation.

Omg! That’s appalling and unthinkable of the USA many of us use to know and love.

Please god your fellow countrymen kick him to the gutter, where he belongs!
