    I don't like him because he's vain, bullying, shallow and thin skinned to the point of embarrassment. I'll add white, male and rich to my list - hadn't thought of them.

    One might have imaged you have found a soul mate (except for the rich bit perhaps)

    Your overt racism and gender bias is noted.

    Have you got a special notebook?

    Put Fella's name in there - it's his theory that Trump's colour and gender is why liberals don't like him. I'm just failing at irony.

    21st century style Western 'Neo-liberalism' is the new fascism and must be challenged and via the ballot box it must be defeated.
    For too long our politcal discourse has been dominated by virtue signalling middle class white people who have shut down debate with the liberal use of the sexist, racist and xenophobe 'bombs'.
    Batten down the hatches 'Libtards' its going to get a tad rough for you.

    Your overt racism has been duly noted.

    The North Korea reference was just a bit of tongue in cheek fun.

    As for the white reference it was Fella that suggested that people hate on him in part because he's white. Nonsense I know - I was being sarcastic.

    There is a valid point being made when people such as Dianne Abbott and Sidique Khan are able to make racist comments but are lauded by the same people who are castigating Donald Trump for making racist comments.

    Only if one has a strange, oddly disturbed imagination.

    Yes I'm aware of hypocrites.

    You do realise if you (royal) behave badly it's not justified by pointing out someone else is doing the same thing or worse?

    Dianne Abbott and Sidique Khan have absolutely nothing to do with whether Trump's comments should be construed as racist or not.

    Absolutely it doesn't forgive any of them for making those comments.

    What I'd draw attention to is the lack of mass protest to Dianne Abbott and Sidique Khan. The people protesting Trump who is not our elected representative cannot find it within themselves to protest against Dianne Abbott and Sidique Khan after them having made racist comments. Why not?

    My opinion is that it's only racist to these people when it is ideologically convenient.

    Also the very same protesters inability to read the executive order they were protesting against would indicate to me that something in these movements is foul. The hypocritical nature of the protests, the misinformation they spread through protest and that they base their protests on does not add up. Why?

    Sidique Khan has just hosted a party with 11 nations who ban Israelis then criticises Trump.

    "Just hours after demanding the government rescinds its invite to President Trump over his travel ban, Sadiq Khan will tonight host a City Hall reception with 11 dignitaries whose countries bar Israeli citizens from entering. Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen will all be represented at the gathering of ambassadors this evening. All 11 of these countries block travel to Israeli passport holders. Khan will use tonight’s party to criticise Trump’s ban as “cruel, prejudiced and counterproductive.” While dining with 11 diplomats whose countries have done the same for years"

    Dont forget only white people can be racist.

    Except he's not that successful, depending on your metric. He's got a string of failed businesses, scams, and screwed over suppliers. Add in the fact he's an awful person and you don't get much redeeming features, but he gets away with it because he hasn't managed to waste the entirety of his dads fortune.

    As already mentioned, he's a billionaire who just got made president. Suggestions he's not successful are ludicrous & merely demonstrate how determined people are to hate everything about him.

    You shouldn't bother, he couldn't care less about us.
