I could never understand why people were so willing to go along with and appease monsters like Hitler and Stalin, but I at least comforted myself with the safe knowledge that it would never happen again. We know too much now to be taken in (or give in to) by populists, demagogues and monsters.

And then the last couple of years happened.

Its amazing really isnt it? I keep wondering why people dont just call him out on his gooseberry fool or stand up to him. Hes an absolute moron who has no place in politics full stop, nevermind being the strawberry floating President, but here we are with state visits, Tea with the Queen, and bending over backwards to appease him no matter how much he insults his host country. I really do feel sometimes like ive gone crazy when i read this gooseberry fool. Like you just strawberry floating KNOW the Queen thinks this guy is a disgusting piece of trash so why not send a subtle strawberry float you to him be feigning illness or something and cancelling? But no, hell get the red carpet treatment which only allows his ego to swell even more and makes sure even more world leaders toady to him

I can see why Britain is doing it. We’ve strawberry floated up so badly that we are desperate to be friends with the leader of a rich and powerful nation. It’s utterly disgusting (and could be avoided if Brexit was cancelled) but I can see why.

It’s beyond me why other nations put up with his gooseberry fool. Mostly fear I guess.

It is going to be fascinating in 10 or 20 years time to see how this era is looked back upon and to read the tell all books on the Trump Presidency. It’s just horrible having to live through it.

It'll be like the Germans having to explain the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, we'll all be too embarrassed about the whole thing and then we'll build a museum at the previous site of Number 10 that goes through the whole nonsense...

DUP MP Ian Paisley has told BBC Radio Ulster that Theresa May is like the "emperor with no clothes".

He says a trade deal with the US is still the only option and the PM will need to rethink her plan if she wants to do a deal, adding: "This is a wake-up call, the next 24 hours will be very important."

Mr Rees-Mogg said: "The UK wants to do a trade deal with Donald Trump and he said if you want to a trade deal with the United states this isn't the way to do it."

He later added: "That's a perfectly reasonable thing for an American president to say."

BTW, there's been a T-Rex placed around London these past few weeks promoting Jurassic Park - far more impressive.

This could literally be a tweet by Trump.
