DA if there were multiple lives as some religions profess…..Hysteria would be stoning the heretic in the 1600s. I have yet to meet anybody who thinks the Donald is a great human being, but he isn’t the monster they claim every day. These are fanatics.


What he is trying to do is hard….but it’s crucial for the world that the West survives and that the unsustainable trade imbalances are checked. Trying to stop the Ukraine war is proving to be difficult but if you had a son fighting in that war, wouldn’t you want world leaders to be trying to stop it rather than egging the Ukranians on to die for some dusty old principle.

Yes, absolutely Moz, I fully agree

I think he is great with a few big flaws, vanity being the major flaw, but on balance a good person...and he is courageous enough to do the unpopular things...so refreshing for a politician.

Yep, he has his flaws, quite a few, but I do believe that his intentions come from a good place, even if he sometimes brings it across or portrays it in such a distasteful way

Egging them on...dusty old principle, such cynical and biased politic framing. I mean why did the US fight and die its way across the Pacific after Pearl Harbour, just for some dusty old principal?


I wonder how far you would get pushing those lines to actual Ukrainians.


Care to take a look at what Ukrainian's actually think of Trump?


73% of Ukrainians say Trump is bad for Ukraine, poll shows


Ukrainians frustrated with Trump's shifting stance on war

Why did the US fight its way across the Pacific? Partly for the same reasons as the Ukraine, because the cause was right. Partly because it had the confidence of controlling the world’s largest industrial machine backing it up, as famously acknowledged by Admiral Yamamoto.
