So what do you Brits make of Trump ?

1) How many times did Trump call Putin after he left office? If a Democrat did this there would be no other item on the news. The response to Woodward's claim has of course meant a fusillade of tantrum-heavy denial

"Amid reports that Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book would reveal that Donald Trump called Putin as many as seven times after leaving office and secretly sent him Covid-19 testing machines during the pandemic in 2020, the former president’s campaign has issued a flurry of personal attacks against the veteran investigative journalist.
In a statement, the campaign’s communications director Steven Cheung also said Woodward’s reporting was false:
"None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Woodward is an angry, little man and is clearly upset because President Trump is successfully suing him because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously. President Trump gave him absolutely no access for this trash book that either belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section of a discount bookstore or used as toilet tissue. Woodward is a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally, and he’s slow, lethargic, incompetent and overall a boring person with no personality.""

2) Even more this, which would have had Republicans and the media going berserk

"Steele discusses the reported occasion in May 2017 when Trump shared “top secret intelligence”, allegedly about an Israeli asset working inside the terrorist group Isis, with Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister. Sources, Steele says, believe Russia told Iran, which tipped off Isis, leading to the death of the asset.

Steele then cites his “impeccable source” saying Trump took documents concerning British naval secrets to Mar-a-Lago. He also says the British government knew of links between Trump and Moscow before his intervention, as the Australian government reported activities involving a Trump adviser, George Papadopoulos, in 2016."

The man is a traitor, simple as that.

What?!

"“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that with all due respect to women, and I love women,” he said. “But this guy, this guy, this is a guy that was all man. This man was strong and tough. And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it.”"
Trump Calls Harris a ‘Shit’ VP, Talks Arnold Palmer in Bonkers Speech

Did Palmer also use it to be unfaithful to his wife, like Gary Cooper, alleged to have the biggest dick in Hollywood in them days?

Now you know why Trump showered alone after a round of tax-payer funded golf at his own venues (are guests charged extra to use the showers?).

The Man has a fixation with Pennsylvania. Yesterday he said he would bring back jobs to the State, I think around 500,00 or so as he ranted on about the job losses, the loss of manufacturing and steel to China....that began when Ronald Reagan was President...and this from a man who had his Bibles printed in....not Pennsylvania, but, yep you guessed it, CHINA...

Trump said this on the Rogan show yesterday

"Trump doubled down on his criticism of Detroit, saying that the Michigan city makes the US look like a “developing nation.”“Globalist politicians like Kamala Harris sold you out and let other countries loot and pillage and plunder your wealth and our jobs and our American dreams, 40 percent of Michigan auto jobs were annihilated after NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made. And I ended it. I ended it with the USMCA,” Trump said."

NAFTA -'the worst trade trade deal ever made' -made by a Republican.

Has he told Musk to bring all his foreign manufacturing 'back' to the USA? After all, when it comes to trade the Trump position is clear-

Markets will not make the decisions, the Govt will. The 9 words that has Reagan squirming in his grave.

This leaves no doubt that Trump has little or no interest in free markets, and for this reason it makes no sense for him to claim any legacy of Ronald Reagan who I believe he used to admire -he cannot, because he has rejected what Reagan stood for, just as JD Vance attacked Senator Biden for voting for NAFTA without mentioning that also voting Aye were Mitch McConnell, Charles Grassley, and in the House, Newt Gingrich while, of course, the inconvenient fact that it was Reagan's policy from Day One was ignored.

So here is the Great Communicator saying what he meant, as a contrast to the man who doesn't believe Markets Know Best, but that he does.

This was the welcome given by Janey Godley, who passed away yesterday, when Trump visited his Turnberry Golf Course in 2016.

I think that sentiment is equally valid today

How did the US end up with Trump and a Govt of Billionaires? This article looks back at some of the historical decisions made, mostly by the Supreme Court, that enabled this to happen. It is quite a long read, but an interesting one.

Another one! Is he going on a merch spree before he can't do it, or will flogging tambourines and drumsticks be legal if it is part of his duties as President?
