Isn't it curious that the Trumpophobes are also the same people who generally support this Krank Starmer, they also support being part of a federal Europe and actively support punitively damaging the successful.
I'm not a fan of Trump but he is a patriot and his supporters are too. He gives the disenfranchised a voice which they never had before and puts America first.
We in the UK could do with some of that...putting Britain and British people first!
I'm with Jake and Sploo: he's not a patriot at all. He's in it 100% for himself, for his ego, for power and for greed. He's an amoral gangster. His appealing to 'patriotism' has nothing to do with love of country and everything to do with votes. Much like Putin but sadly without the brains, just a little feral cunning.He's no more of a patriot than most Americans. He just makes more noise about it.
I agree, but I chose my words carefully.I'm with Jake and Sploo: he's not a patriot at all. He's in it 100% for himself, for his ego, for power and for greed. He's an amoral gangster.

And yes, I know that can be applied to some degree to most politicians, but Trump is just beyond the pale.
Perhaps he needs to spend a week with Jacob to sharpen him up.Kier clearly not the sharpest tool in the box
Democracy is not about educating the plebs. Like that wouldn't be fraught with accusations of brainwashing, would it?"A well informed electorate is a pre-requisite for democracy"
Yeah, my bad.
I think we did the - "identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations"bit from the 1500s onwards.I highly doubt Trump actually cares about anyone other than himself. But regardless, his (and his supporters') brand of patriotism is more akin to nationalism; which tends to be altogether more negative. E.g.
"identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations"
The problem is that there usually seems to be a correlation between those who make these sorts of statements (look after our own rather than others) and the people who also are against the kinds of social support measures to actually look after their own. Generally it always seems to boil down to look after me.
A Failed businessman you mean.Trump is a businessman and can see things from that direction.
Trump is a terrible businessman, who's failed in pretty much every field, and made less money than if he just invested his inheritance on the stock market:...Trump is a businessman and can see things from that direction.
I wouldn't take any notice of Spectric. I'm fairly sure he's part of some sort of reverse Turing Test experiment.A Failed businessman you mean.
Trump sold voters on the folly that he's a successful businessman. That's a con
Harsh but I get where you are coming from ...If you think of trump as a tool
