Sit this one out Wisbech, you're so consumed with frothing rage of the man, use the time for a bit of self reflection. You and others are quite wrong about my attitude to Trump. There's no element of rage at all. There's great concern about a situation that allows someone as unsuited as he is to even be considered for high office. No self-reflection is needed. I have many conversations with my friends who all feel exactly the same way I do. The only place I ever encounter any degree of sympathy for him is here, but I have always regarded this as a place completely out of step with the majority in the UK.

Feeling sympathy towards anyone who has had a narrow escape is natural, no matter who they are, but it doesn't change the fundamentals. In truth, it's likely to make Trump even worse as he will milk this for every drop, and allow the innuendos and accusations to flow freely. Trump won't stop being Trump. He cannot. The only good thing that might arise is that it could prove to be the straw that forces Biden to stand down.

Those who live in bubbles have a distorted view of the world outside. Pricking the bubble and letting a few shafts of reality in, is my pleasure to provide!

The whole point of the American way is that anybody can run for President; the public then decide who is worthy of holding the position. So are the American public wrong to want him as President?
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

Ridiculous ! Thereby hangs the problem. My view, which is far from singular but very widely held, has no effect at all. The US President potentially has more impact on our lives than anyone we can vote for but all we can do is observe the mess the US system has got itself into.

It’s the double standards (primarily media distortion supported by left money) that is hard to stomach. They portray Joe as the democracy saving white knight, who never tells lies, practices MMA every morning and the smartest man in the room. It’s so completely false but people believe it!! Trump uses “bloody” and “massacre” in the same speech and all you hear about is “our democracy is under threat with this man”. In Michigan last week (after Joes debate debacle and some mega donner concern) he delivered his most personal TDS speech I have ever witnessed! It is this rhetoric that drives hate into this country, and not Trumps continued references to “crooked Joe” or worst president in US history. I have lost friends over politics and it’s sad! Both sides are no where near as bad as the media makes out, but there is no room normal thinking, law abiding people in US politics! It's sad because the hate is all coming from one way. The likes of me and most likely you tolerate, welcome, debate and accept etc...other people's views without the need to stop being friends with them. And then the other side is like "my way of thinking or the highway" if you don't conform to those lefties brainwashed views you are cut off. My eyes were open wide during covid.

Then why spend so much time denigrating someone you can't vote for to others who can't vote for him either?

So are the American public wrong to want him as President? They are entitled to want him to be President. That's never been in question, but the mess that US politics is in and its structural inability to heal itself means that they can end up with someone like Trump. You are entitled to want all kinds of things, but that doesn't mean they are sensible. You are entitled to be stupid, but it's not wise to be.
