The proposal that the British state should extend to this unworthy man its highest honours, including an address to parliament, and a banquet and carriage ride down the Mall with the Queen, is misjudged. It will do nothing to revive the “special relationship”, already torn apart by Trump’s reactionary policies on climate change, migration, race, multilateralism, Yemen, nuclear arms, civil liberties and other issues. What it will do is give an undeserved boost to a wounded charlatan.
If Americans are content to allow a habitual liar who has presided over systemic illegality, numerous ill-concealed attempts to obstruct justice and a foul-mouthed culture of venality and vendettas to continue to lead their country, that is a matter for them. But the British people cannot be expected to collude or condone such misbehaviour. And what’s to be gained? A fantasy post-Brexit trade deal? Trump’s word, evidently, cannot be trusted.
Considering who we have had over for state visits none of that would seem to be a disqualification. Mugabe? Banda, Kaunda? Suharto? Ceausescu for the Lord’s Sake. Mobutu? Willie Tubman.
Trump’s worse than this collection of thieves, bandits, murderers and fools?
Ah, I see. A state visit isn’t in fact this highest honour. It’s an entirely political move so that foreign gimps might like us a little more. You know, the the benefit of us peeps that we sate their egos and they look kindly upon us.
So, the worse we think Trump’s egomania is the more we should be offering the visit in order to buy us some goodwill at a very cheap indeed price.
But, you know, Orange Man Bad!
Rather presumptuous of the Observer to believe it speaks on behalf of the British people.
Isn’t he describing Obama here?
The worthless fuckholes who constitute the Observer editorial staff and tiny readership would cheerfully welcome any number murderous despots.
Furthermore, they all hate and despise the rest of the British people, so have zero right to speak for any of them.
They have grovelled before numerous communist mass murderers, but they weren’t orange.
The contempt of the Establishment for the proles writ large.
‘It will do nothing to revive the “special relationship”, already torn apart by Trump’s’
Obama conspicuously, ceremoniously, returned the bust of Churchill from the White House to Britain.
But that was okay, cos Obama supports One World Government.
‘reactionary policies on climate change, migration, race, multilateralism, Yemen, nuclear arms, civil liberties and other issues. What it will do is give an undeserved boost to a wounded charlatan.’
Wounded? Wut?
‘If Americans are content to allow a habitual liar who has presided over systemic illegality, numerous ill-concealed attempts to obstruct justice and a foul-mouthed culture of venality and vendettas to continue to lead their country, that is a matter for them.’
The Left has concocted a soup of false characterizations of Trump, and throws some of it on us everyday. Been doing for years. It has failed for years. But they don’t stop.
The good news is that as 2020 elections approach, the Left discusses no issues, rather spends their day telling us Orange Man Bad! It isn’t just false, it’s stupid. It failed them in 2016, yet they think it will work for them in 2020.
They believe their own propaganda.
Xi Jingping got all the bells and whistles and they didn’t care. It’s amazing they can think Trump is worse.
It’s the address to parliament that really grinds their gears. That is a special privilege not to be compared with a mere despotic state visit.
The article leaves one wondering which US President would in no way fit the description.
‘If Americans are content to allow a habitual liar who has presided over systemic illegality, numerous ill-concealed attempts to obstruct justice and a foul-mouthed culture of venality and vendettas to continue to lead their country, that is a matter for them.‘
Didn’t realise Jeremy Corbyn’s other job was POTUS.
I wonder if The Berk will succeed in preventing Trump addressing Parliament? Sooner Berk’s gone the better.
There’s a similar article in yesterday’s Daily Mail by Peter Oborne, comparing Trump to Nixon. Trump comes out of it badly.
The mere fact that they are so mindless and talk about obstruction of justice pisses me off. It was a bloody witch hunt from the start.
So if you poke a stick up the arse of a caged bear and he growls and show his displeasure, does that mean he likes to captured?
Translated: Trump’s integrity on doing all he can to implement the “manifesto” he was elected on.
As we know, politicians should never ever do that; they should only do what Left wants
It starts with screeching Lefties calling us Nazis… It ends in a police state
Eventually the electors have had enough of Gov’t favouring Socialist minority and rebel
‘Our party’s dead. Brexit’s killing us on the doorsteps’: 40% of Tory councillors back Nigel Farage’s new party as devastating poll shows scale of rebellion and Three Quarters want Theresa May to resign
Perhaps the Tavistock + Portman lefty loon NHS mental health outfit can start can start treating TDS?
If GMG editorial carry on like this – I expect they’ll be running fashion features on I-love-me white canvas jackets with tie at the back sleeves eventually.
Interesting to watch the other cheek of the same arse (BBC) scampering about trying to stir up anti DJT sentiment and barging CNN as they compete for the bottom of the barrel – their US based crew are a complete shower.
Trump ate his $200 age steak well done. That’s crime against humanity itself and must be condemned.

My parents owned a hotel; chef was told to substitute a suitable cheap cut of beef for any orders for well-done beef/venison.
Nobody complained.
