America.
A country where anyone born there has a chance of being President.
It's just another risk that people have to live with.

Not exactly the Gettysburg Address though, is it.

No claim of hacking from the White House and the far right here are celebrating his backing for them!!

courtesy of the esteemed organ News Thump.
Britain First has moved to distance themselves from the extremist group known as the US Presidency after he appeared to endorse them today. The dangerously unpredictable and volatile Twitter account shared content from Britain First, who are described as ‘reasonable, honest and moderate’ in comparison to the President of the United States. The account is notorious for using brightly-coloured clickbait and inflammatory statements to generate traffic and Britain First rejected any suggestion they would be associated with such practices, or the dangerous extremists who run it.
The group went on to insist they would never engage in peddling the sort of hate-speech which has gained Trump online notoriety, and consider him a desperate attention seeker who lacks credibility or supporting evidence for many of his claims.
In a statement, Britain First said: “We REJeckt anny suggesten taht we am is linked to donneld TRUMP¬!!!”
“hE ar is an dishonnist sharletan who are am tryign to ster up HATRID and divission throo underhand TAKTIKS!!1one11”
“Britten feRSt is an legitermate organersatien wot am are is not assosyated with the PRESERDENT of AMERICA wich is a forrin country and so canot be TRUSTED.!.!”, whatever that may mean.
When asked why he shared the content, Trump replied that he was bored and just wanted to f~~k with people for a bit.

Morning all. You will be waking up to news that Trump has gone on the offensive with the PM, quite remarkable. Normal diplomatic rules simply do not apply with this clown. So, I wonder whether our PM will surprise us, and take back some control, and show a bit of strength. Or, will we show our hand as begging from the international gutter, desperate for a trade deal above our national dignity?
PS - spare a thought for the Daily Mail - they won't know which way is up with this one - better to avoid and announce a new miracle cure for stinging nettle rash or some such.

While I agree with most of what you say Neil, most times survival is more important than dignity.
Trump is a very dangerous egotistical idiot.

Difficult call for HMG.
Do you un-invite Trump because of his behaviour when at the same time you are uninviting 'the President of the United States' which to millions of Americans will be viewed as treating their entire country as a pariah state?

Let him come but no pomp, flags or coaches only a black bullet proof limo (which he might need
) and definitely no meeting with the Queen.

Ceausescu and Mugabe have had official state visits so to stop a democratically elected US president would be unprecedented and damage our relationship with the US.

I guess they won't cancel the invite, but rather, simply never get round to doing it. The wedding may scupper things - is it normal for Heads of State to be invited to such occasions?

I wonder why Cruella got involved anyway, Trump gets high on any publicity about him whether it is positive or negative so she played into his hands. Who would have believed a while back that the "leader of the free world" would run it with Twitter spats?

Reminds me of the Bernard Manning joke, "they should never have impeached Nixon, just got Teddy Kennedy to give him a lift home".

He would do anything if it would annoy any nation that he connects to possible Muslim backed terrorism, he has a one bad all bad mentality.
Trump is so powerful and dangerous I dread to think what he will do next.
