Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
He's thousands of miles away and does not rule this country any more than Putin or Xi Jinping does. So why the obsession?

He's an easier target. Plus, the moral outrage is whipped up by newspapers and commentators as he's guaranteed to generate ad revenue.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
I understand all sorts of groups watching their enemies closely for slip ups, but this isn't America. Is the left vs right rivalry worldwide?

Wouldn't quite say that.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:33 pm I understand all sorts of groups watching their enemies closely for slip ups, but this isn't America. Is the left vs right rivalry worldwide?
He genuinely is fascinating to me that someone like that, so obviously narcissistic can get to where he has gotten to. I dont actually think everything he has done is bad. But the coronavirus really has brought the worst out in him. It's bizarre how he's got to this stage and how he even has a chance of re-election. Only in America.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
You say that but then look around at the numpties who still think Boris is great and would vote him back in to power in an instant. I don't think we can pretend to be any better over here. Big personality, big gob, big bank balance, bit quirky, bit of a womaniser and who gives a crap about your morals, ethics, ability - it seems to work both sides of the Atlantic.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:43 pmWouldn't quite say that.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:33 pm I understand all sorts of groups watching their enemies closely for slip ups, but this isn't America.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
One key thing about who gets elected in not necessarily their ability but the quality of the opposition. Boris didn’t have much to beat.
May well be different if Starmer gets it together.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
It’s not ‘Only in America’ though, is it? Look at what Boris has done, and is still doing now, and some numpties still fawn over him. Stupid isn’t confined to the yanks.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:43 pmWouldn't quite say that.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:33 pm I understand all sorts of groups watching their enemies closely for slip ups, but this isn't America.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
Yeah, but it's a different kind of stupid. Boris doesn't call out journo's for being fake and spend press conferences showing videos of what they've done. Fair to say it isn't THAT far off after banning some journos from number 10 briefings but i think Trump is a new level. I literally wouldn't put anything past him.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
They've both struck gold in terms of the absolute dogshit opposition they've faced.
It allowed both of them to make inroads into places they don't traditionally win thus making Starmer/Biden's job a lot harder

It's different buffoons for different markets - Trump wouldn't work here, just as Boris wouldnt work there.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 1:47 pm Yeah, but it's a different kind of stupid.

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
Perhaps due to the fact that people like yourself have become a brainwashed right wing cult. The people have been conned on both sides off the pond. People maybe are starting to wakeup.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:12 pm He's thousands of miles away and does not rule this country any more than Putin or Xi Jinping does.

I know it's not easy for right wingers and cultists to admit they got it wrong and it has and will cost lives. Conman and Dictators and wannabe Dictators are making a mess of the world. Remember we are only guests on this planet!
The whole "world is going to pot".

Re: Why are lefties obsessed with Trump?
He's probably right on some of it, but it tends to lose authenticity when he uses it on anyone tries to scrutinise him. He think it's an actual answer to call reporters hacks, or to avoid answering a valid question because he doesn't like the network they are from.Thor wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 2:15 pmIsn’t trump correct on calling out fake news?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 1:47 pm Yeah, but it's a different kind of stupid.

Some states have to mobilise their national guard now to prevent Trump getting Federal Government from commandering the medical supplies that they have been forced to acquire worldwide just after him saying they had to do it themselves.if he doesn't cling to power he is going to jail as will all his corrupt GOP, so called Republican enablers around him.
Remember "Everything Trump Touches Dies". He hasn't ran a successful business in his life. Money Launderer In Chief.
