Do you seriously think people take what you have just written seriously. In one breath trump is a disaster the second breath trump would only do a good deal for America. Edited by dannyboy1978 (02 Jun 2019 1.04pm) Can you really not see why? Really? Trump doesn't do "good deals" for America! He does deals that he thinks are good for America. Big difference. Like raising tariffs on imported goods that he thinks will hurt the exporting country but will actually be paid by the US consumers, cause reciprocal responses and trade wars which disrupt world trade, resulting in economic uncertainty everywhere. Trump is a disaster. He has the economic nous of a 5 year old. Believing that the USA will rush to negotiate a trade deal with us after Brexit that actually benefits us is naivety taken to extremes. Oh I am biased. I am biased against anyone who tells lies, attacks anyone who criticises and uses bullying as a negotiating tactic.

Yup. I am more than happy to condemn Trump for interfering in UK politics as did Obama. I don't get why some people love Obama. The special relationship was at it's weakest in my lifetime. He made a point when visiting Europe to go to Berlin and or Paris first. He made it perfectly clear who he thought America's key allies were and we were behind them. Fair enough that is his right why some British people love him I don't get. Trump for all his many faults is at least pro British in foreign policy. People love Obama for many reasons but mainly because he is clearly a decent man who loves his country, and particularly the disadvantaged in it, before himself. Trump is not pro anything that doesn't start with Trump.

You are actually a bigger idiot than I initially thought. If you really cannot understand why what Obama said, and how and why he did so, was so different to Trump's latest stupidity then I am afraid you ought to look up the meaning of the "pot calling the kettle black".

Thing is, Wisbech can't even see it. I rather think that it's you, along with the other Trump fans here, that are failing to see the difference between the behaviour of the two men. Take some time out and reflect on what both said, when, why and how. Obama was careful. Trump was just Trump.

There was no Tory leadership election when Obama said the UK would be at the “back of the queue” in any trade deal with the US if the country chose to leave the EU. So not a real comparison. Trump says the UK will be front of the queue and that's meant to be a bad thing?! It's a bad thing if it's bs served up for the consumption of the gullible in a restaurant operated by Rupert Murdoch. Doesn't anyone else smell the aroma of blatant interference that I do? Murdoch is a manipulator and always has been.

Wisbech you said Obama spoke the truth? That makes no sense to me! Obama said that there were other deals to be negotiated before us, because we already had one and if we voluntarily gave it up we couldn't expect preferential treatment. He was supportive of the EU. Trump wants to break up the EU so holds out a promise that is undeliverable, unless we massively compromise, which we won't. Any separate deal with the USA would take a lot of time to negotiate unless it closely replicated exactly what already exists between the EU and the USA. That's the reality. Obama spoke the truth. Trump is just being the con man he always is.

I am glad you get some pleasure from him. It has to be the only good thing about him. No, wait, there is one more! Anything after him can only be better. It would be like Palace dropping into non league football for the first time in my life. Anything after that could only be an improvement. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (02 Jun 2019 8.47pm)

Murdoch is a manipulator and always has been. I don't understand the problem. Owner of media outlet gives mouthpiece to political friend. IF true (because you don't know), are you saying Murdoch is the ONLY media mogul that does this?

He told the truth Trump lies all the time. It's his default position and he doesn't even know he is doing it. This though wasn't so much a deliberate lie as an ignorant statement because I suspect he really believed it. At least at the moment his mouth was moving.

I didn't suggest that did I? Murdoch though is an especially pernicious purveyor of his personal view of the world. He holds far too much influence over the politicians in both the USA and here because of his ability to manipulate public opinion. Why he has not been constrained in some way beats me. Those who complain about the BBC being biased should reflect on the influence of Murdoch.

It was the Sunday Times which published the story. Circulation 712k. Times circulation 417k. The Sun has a daily readership of 9.86 million with another 29.3 million reading it online and 23.86 million check it on their phones. Murdoch is pretty subtle in appearing to promote balance whilst actually making sure which way the compass should point.

Opposing Murdoch ought, in my opinion, be the duty of everyone who wants a free and unfettered press available to all. It has nothing to do with any personal politics. If he supported Corbyn, the LibDems or anyone else I would feel exactly the same.

And Murdoch doesn't have a monopoly on US and UK media. People have a choice to what they consume. But people who don't follow your narrative are just stupid, right?
