    OK Trump has handed his best mate "Elon Musk" - access to everyone in US's private information - including full bank account details !!

    This is only in the US not UK

    What you need to know about the "independent press"

    "The sudden freeze of U.S. aid has caused harm to independent Ukrainian journalism ...
    As you can see, "independent press" doesn’t work without outside US money.

    The main problem with Trump, as with lots of people in authority, the higher they climb the ladder, the more 'protected' they are. They become delusional almost, except they probably aren't because they are seemingly above the law, and continually get away with things said and done. Power is clearly a dangerous thing in the wrong hands, he's an ego driven narcissist really, but he's not alone with that is he?! I'm not massively into politics at all, it's virtually impossible to balance every thing properly, and please everyone, some will suffer more than others, some will benefit, as they will in most democratic countries. He just seems to be everywhere, all consuming, and i think we as a nation give him too much attention, but you reap what you sow as they used to say…..😕

    I bet Canada is looking a better option by the day! Will it be like here after brexit; anyone have a Canadian granny?

    The guy older than Biden? Age aside, the likes of Sanders or AOC are too divisive. I sense you and I are both on the same page politically, but it's too easy for detractors to smear anyone left of centre in the US. Sadly, I think in UK too.

    Trump's announcement on Gaza! He's got to be pushing his luck with that one

    I know it is frustrating, but please do try to avoid using insults! It does still go against our first House Rule about being civil.

    A suggestion of "taking over" Gaza I don't think was something anyone was expecting. Of course it's hard to tell whether it is a serious suggestion or not.

    Some people's behaviour negates their right to civility. I'm criticising his words, not the person. Because there comes a point where not calling a person out compromises my own integrity

    Trump claims :

    Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know.”

    Yet

    Palestinians, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other countries have condemned President Donald Trump's plans for a US "takeover" of the Gaza Strip.

    wibbles, the only thing wrong with your thread is the title. I really dislike those words.

    judie, may I recommend The Mirror for its balanced approach to this scary movie. You have to scroll a bit to find the number of "unhinged things" he did on any given day.

    It might be an option once they bin Trudeau,unless there;s another creepy little dictator waiting in the wings.

    It likely isn't that he is greatly loved by the population. Millions stayed at home and he won through apathy.

    Same people as the Farage devotees.They know he won't improve their lot, but at least he's going to persecute 'others'.

    Trump has signed an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court, accusing it of "illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and Israel".

    He's gone loopy

    He's worse than Netanyahu and EVEN Putin

    Who does Trump think that he is - in setting up talks to end the Ukraine war with Russia - without Ukraine being involved ?

    Its not the way that this should be done and WILL fail…..
