We Proud Ourselves As A Tolerant Nation, So Why Are We So Intolerant Towards The Leader Of Our Friendliest Allies?

[anotheoldgit]

We ridicule him, regarding the colour of his skin, his hair style etc, etc.

We ridicule his wife and family, yet had only praise and admiration for the previous President's wife and family.

We condemn him for speaking the truth about some Mexicans, when he says they are rapists and murderers, while we ourselves are reluctant to condemn some of our Muslims even though they have been proven as murdering terrorists etc.

We also raise petitions so as to get his arranged state visit to this country banned, yet in the past have accepted state visits from some of the world's worse despots.

What kind of message does this give out to, not only the President of the USA, but also the millions of American people who voted him in power, why should they be tolerant to what must seem to them as such a nasty little country as ours?

I think the general message in the paras about Mexicans and state visits are both valid and also the fact we are consider ourselves tolerant. Obviously Sp and Zacs disagree with all of it.

[anneasquith]

Zac. No I watched the rally live last night .

[-Talbot-]

Why can't you answer the question, sp?

[Zacs-Master]

Ah so Corby's link clarifies it was a Florida rally and the country was Sweden. Cheers.

[-Talbot-]

sp, can I assume you agree with Michelle that the Clinton's as a family unit did not conducted themselves with dignity?

Really?

This, not from the Daily Mail, or not even the Express, but surprise, surprise, The Guardian.

I can't answer the question because I don't know anything about Trump's family.

You may as well be asking me if Justin Trudeau's family conduct themselves with dignity.

I don't know.

Do you see what I mean?

I know about the Obamas because they've been in the public eye for a decade.

Whilst Trump has been around for much longer than that, all I know about them are some names. There's Ivana, Ivanka (I think) and Meliana. I literally know nothing about them.

Hope that makes sense.

But most people here love Trump AOG and all is well, so sorry not. Who cares what those pesky yanks think ...

I stand corrected Corby, though my post did have the gist of his statement .

Tell you what - to save some time, list all the famous families you'd like me to support/critique and I'll give you a tick list.

Let's start with:

The Attenboroughs: great
The Le Pens: not great
The Minogues: great
The Jacksons: great
The Eastwoods: great
The Sheens: father great / son not great
The Millibands: not great
The Hemsworths: great
The Hitlers: not great

What are you suggesting, that he keeps out of the sun?

[-Talbot-]

Why not just answer the question instead?

[THECORBYLOON]

He did ask who would believe what happened the previous night in Sweden but clearly he did...

/// I can't answer that. The only member of the family that I know about is Meliana. Or 'Mrs Ctrl-C Ctrl-V' as she is known in some circles. ///

Well that speaks volumes, regarding your bigoted view of the Trump family.

Why have you not took as much notice of the Trump children as you have of the Obama family?

Did the Obamas chose to push their two girls forward for publicity, whereas perhaps the Trumps chose not to do so with their children?

[Zacs-Master]

I suggest he stops visiting tanning salons.

[ichkeria]

Weelders' party's opinion poll lead has narrowed, generally assumed that one reason at least is Trump.

Would I agree with Michelle?

I would certainly agree that Bill was a sleaseball, and a proven liar...but I can't really comment on Chelsea, because I don't know that much about her. Jury's out for me on Hillary because of the massive amount of smoke around her. I think she may be on fire but I can't quite see...

Thanks for that Corby, another example of 'fake news' that Donald has been going on about.

Some don't know their Swiss from their Swedish.
