    What I find astonishing about Trump is that he called Tom Newton Dunn's article in the Sun "fake news", even though there is video footage of him saying it. I swear the man lives in a parallel universe.


    It has reached the point where he tells outright lies and we just shrug our shoulders. Sad and weird.

    U.S. President Donald Trump boasted before the world and British Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday that he’d predicted the Brexit decision at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland the day before the historic vote.
    One problem: Trump arrived at Turnberry the day after the vote.

    We are a laughing stock to pander to this egotist.


    Is Macron a laughing stock? Where can I see this laughing stock thing?

    You do know he'd been coached by Farage about what to say to the Sun?


    Who coached Obama in the fake trade 'queue' manipulation?
    Are u ok with our PM colluding with a foreign power?

    The right doesn't care because the left doesn't care.


    Where was the mass relentless press inquisition into Obama's record breaking drone strikes in NON war zones as documented by Amnesty that killed and maimed thousands of innocents?
    It's a tough choice, Trumps 'nasty' tweets vs. Obama's killing and maiming thousands of innocents in non war zones.


    FAKE NEWS = NEWS BY OMMISION.

    Poor analogy. We invited Trump. Palmerston sent gunboats to Piraeus without being invited to do so.

    A Trojan Horse perhaps is closer to the truth.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    I watched the May and Trump press conference live.
    Well actually half watched as I was hiding behind the Sofa.

    Trump treating Britain like a tin pot island. This is not an ally Britain deserves but one Britain may need as it turns its back on Europe.

    It really is pathetic isn't it?

    I'm sure you demonstrated against Obama's drone strike policy at the time with Jeremy Corbyn and Amnesty etc. I did. Two wrongs don't make a right though and if you cared so much about American militarisation you'll hardly support Trump will you Lorna?
