Is there anything Trump won't ruin?

Trump just can't take a joke.

Even Bush got into the spirit of it:

Bush driving Brown around in circles in that golf cart was gold.

To be fair to him, Trump has achieved one remarkable political turnaround: he's managed to make us fondly nostalgic for the old days of George W. Bush.

In 2008 I would have happily bet a huge sum of cash that Bush Jr would go down as the worst president they had ever had or would ever have.

Fair play Trump,fair play.

I like this Fake News story.

Fox news labels bloke a "Swedish Defence and National Security Adviser". Sweden says who is he?

It's amusing to see conservatives talk tough about liberals all needing safe spaces and how tough Trump will be and then try and claim not attending a dinner where the president will get some light hearted fun poked his way is somehow completely different.

His failure to attend is truly pathetic.

I'm sure by him not attending, all the acts who take the stage will poke fun at other things rather than his presidency.

Or maybe he knows he's going to be in jail by then and didn't want to make plans only to disappoint people.

Man of the people having dinner with The Donald at the last minute (so impressed was Trump with Farage's speech earlier he just had to squeeze him in, apparently)

Image

Farage to Fox News wrote:They are simply not prepared to accept that Brexit happened, that Trump happened, they kind of want to turn the clock back. And what they don’t realise is they are losing viewers, they are losing listeners, they are losing this battle big time and I’m pleased the president is not afraid to stand up to them.

Just as Brexit becomes more popular by the day, President Trump will become more popular in America by the day.

Brexit is becoming more popular because it's going to happen so we may as well just accept it.
Being angry about it isn't going to help anyone so obviously it's going to become more popular as people want this country to succeed so they are going to back Brexit even if they voted against it.

It's not exactly hard to counter his speech and he's such a smug twat that even a vote remain voter like me just see's him as a massive knobhead.

I know there are still 4 years in this presidency to go but as of yet I'd still say Bush is the worst ever by a long shot.

UKIP and Trump have a lot in common. They generally operate by stirring up massive negativity but have zero competence as leaders and are incapable of identifying the real cause of problems, be they real or imagined, and solving them.
