Trump - stupid or out of touch with the world?
Jun 26^th, 2016 at 6:41pm

Trump visited Scotland on Friday and proceeded to talk about how the historic Brexit vote might help business there and then went on to congratulate Scots for “taking their country back” even though Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU.

Heaven help the civilised world if this idiot becomes President.

Trump is the epitome of the stereotypical ugly American.

An obnoxious, loud narcissist who tries to sell stupidity as 'plain speaking'.

How does it go? "I been hearing some things... People have been talking... I don't know for sure but what I've heard people saying... Is that all around a pig's ass is pork. Now I don't know for sure, I'm not a Jew. And I'm ok with Jews... I love the Jew... What's that food they eat? Something mixed with chicken... But that's ok... All I'm saying is that we've gotta look into it... That's all I'm sayin ".

The Brits voted for Brexit and the Americans will vote for Trump because of just this sort of seething, stupid dismissal of their legitimate concerns.

Here's the thing, pal - you do not know better. Get that into your head if you can (you can't). Still, you do not know better no matter how much you sneer, seethe and carry on like you knew better. You just don't.

Democracy will bollock you every time. And a good thing too.

For Christ's sake don't take it personally.

Remember that not everyone who tells you what you don't want to hear is your enemy and not everyone who tells you what you want to hear is your friend.

Intelligence lies in knowing the difference...

And in my experience, treat with great suspicion anyone who tells you exactly, and in every respect, what you want to hear... Enemies I can handle... But a false friend is poison.

Right up until he decides that Australians are taking US jobs...

Cos, y'know he's "hearing things... people are talking... People are telling me that Australia's gettin too much of a good deal over Americans... Now I don't know for sure cos I haven't seen the numbers yet and they have, y'know, a different numbering system down there... People are telling me its upside down numbering... All I'm saying is that we gotta look into it... And Australia is a close friend of China... That's what people are telling me... That's all I'm sayin... '

You are a very misguided man Mr Mort if I may say so, mighty strong and I think , very unnecessary word's of the US' finest President to date. He did not like Tony Abbott for one, so in my book he is ok . Wink

...and it gets more ridiculous:

Jim Bakker is still on TV?

Apparently he's the old guy with the beard. Never would have recognized him. And apparently he's now got a "Bomb shelter food" racket going, just in case the Rapture doesn't happen before the Tribulation, apparently.

Anyway, God supposedly has now endorsed Herr Ruggenfuhrer, or something.

And Cruz would be the candidate if Trump had stayed out.

I don't understand the desire for cultural suicide by the Hillary supporters! It must be the difference between Citizens and Subjects.
