    Even after all this time I still find myself struggling to believe how vast numbers of Americans are in thrall to someone who is just the most base conman imaginable.

    Interview with a supporter who looked and sounded exactly like the hillbilly character in The Simpson made me genuinely laugh out loud:

    “If President Trump was lying on the beach playing golf right now none of this would be happening”

    BBC reporter: “How do you know that?”

    “I just know”

    BBC reporter: “But how do you know?”

    “Because I’m an intelligent man”

    I was already laughing in my head at someone lying on the beach playing and when he delivered that final line I couldn’t hold it in.

    His fellow intelligent Trump supporters also had massive festival type flags on metal poles whilst standing under what looked like power cables.

    He practised that expression for days in front of the bathroom mirror.

    Why is it that even a mugshot looks to have been Photoshopped?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    So he claimed to weigh 215 lbs and be 6'3" tall.....

    He's still got it. This is a response to a question about Chinese imperialism.

    I wonder if when he talks about the amount of people who watch his videos he realised how many of them are p1ssing themselves lughing at what he's saying?

    This good, even for Trump. I can't normally stand listening to him unless someone superimposes the squeeze box between his tiny hands, but this is so unhinged that it's funny.

  • It's been a long day, but at least I'm not wanting to be be the 'leader of the free world...'

    Hmm, we're probably better off not knowing what's going on in his head, but maybe Spitting Image need to do "The ex-President's Brain Is Missing", which was sadly prescient in Reagan's case.

  • Obama and Corbyn appear to perform the same function now. And Wiggle.

    He's never forgiven him for the roasting, or being black and intelligent.

    Remember Trump warning us about doddery old Joe?
    He's that age now.

  • Even if he weren't a wannabe fascist, I think the world ought to be a bit scared that Trump is in the running to be POTUS again, given the state of his mind.

    WTAF?!!!!

    Surely the time has come for an intervention.

    There were over 48,000 gun related deaths in the US in 2021 (most current complete data) but the one idiot they needed to pop...

    It's a concern, although the Washington Post isn't particularly credible.

    On the plus side, a second term presidency fizzles out into executive orders after the 2 year point, and I doubt that Putin will get much more than Latvia and Estonia in that time.

    I think the party is *much* more prepared in the event of a victory this time around.

    Last time they assumed the president would sort it all out and bluntly didn't expect to win so it was very chaotic.

    This time around they've put everything in place. It will be a much more effective administration than last time if they win.

    In the same ramble he repeatedly said that Jeb Bush had been President. "Jeb, Jeb.... Jeb".

    This is precisely why an intervention is required.
    We clearly can't rely on Americans keeping the world as a safe place. World's gone nuts!

    US Defence budget is roughly the UK's GDP.

    Good luck.

    If he gets in, that will be true. Ukraine will have to work out how to look after itself without massive US help.

    Yeah, the poll that had Trump 10 points up also had him even more points up amongst young people, and seems to be an outlier... even so, that Trump isn't way behind is alarming enough.

    You obviously missed my point. There is a fair chance that they could have a complete nutter someone with dementia in charge. Nuts!

    Edit:- I shouldn't really be calling people with dementia nutters.

    I ought to do a Venn diagram with nutters, those with dementia, and wannabe dictators: Trump would be in the intersection of all three.

    To put that into context "only" 58,000 died in Vietnam and that was over 20 years and the highest in any one year was 17,000

    I know you know this, but you need the "US soldiers" qualification as otherwise it omits the couple of million Vietnamese.
