We cannot trust this guy when it comes to doing a deal. He flies off the handle so easily and seems not to have any form of self-control.

The idea of the President promoting a group which split from the BNP because it saw it as too moderate would have been the stuff of dystopian fiction just a few years ago.

Hugh is talking about the video. The video isn't true just because it's happened elsewhere.

It has happened. It happens. We need to stop defending those murderous assholes, that’s ISIS, btw, of their brutal ways. They are radical and more muslims are getting this way. People are afraid to say it how it is at the risk of sounding racist, it is not racist, to state a religion has radicalised ideology, of violence and hate.

Hugh didn't say that it happens is fake, he was talking about the video and you know it.

I was not talking about the video, though, I said initially, that it is not a falsehood what ISIS does to gays and I made a generalisation, I never mentioned the video and Hugh, in his rush to google search, came back to say what I was generalising to be a falsehood. No it isn’t as the CBS source link shows, as we know got to provide evidence these days on here. :rolleyes:

I have said twice now, this is the third time, Trump should not have retweeted a series of video by a far right group. But I do not agree that what the content of the video shows, does not happen. Fair enough with the Dutch boy video, that’s the exception.

Wonder how he would feel if Theresa May posted videos of the atrocities carried out by US citizens on US citizens? Although he would probably claim they were fake news.

Not sure why anyone would follow Ann coulter anyway, a very unpleasant person and the donald managed to send the tweet criticising Mrs May to the wrong person, you think he'd have got the hang of his Twitter machine by now

As would most other Americans who worship 2nd Amendment. Their ‘ideology’, is to defend against guns is to have more guns. The guns issue is also an area, where I vastly disagree with Trumps and the GOP stance on American gun ownership.

He follows her because she is or was a Republican political commentator, at the very beginning when Trump stated he was running for office, she was asked of all the Republican candidates, who was most likely to succeed to the Presidency, she blurted out ‘Donald Trump’, all the panelist’s and audience laughed at her, she is having the last laugh now.

Here is a clip of her prediction in June 2015.

The way some sections of the media are presenting this latest minor exchange between him and the PM, anyone would think that's what they want - mind you think of all the airtime and pages they could fill with it all. Got to feed that insatiable rolling news machine eh...
