I think this is worse, you should never accept another mans medals...ever...EVER!

Maybe he needs to spend some time watching what Luke Beveridge and Bob Murphy did.

He has to be the first president in history who is absolutely devoid of any class.
He shoved it in his pocket and walked off!

Totally thought Trump was going to lean in and give that brave soldier a frenchy.

Maybe if he wasn't POTUS he would date him?
Unfortunately he's dating someone else atm:

How narcissistic can you be? I kind of sympathise with him. He's classic Dunning-Kruger. He wants to be loved, he wants to be respected. But there's nothing to love or respect about the man. He's openly hypocritical to the extreme. Perhaps he lives in a different reality to the rest of us so he doesn't understand that almost everything that comes out of his mouth is a demonstrable lie.

He's absolutely not fit to be the 'leader of the free world'.

A display of unbelievable ignorance: In a real country with a real president, Trump’s AP interview would destroy him

http://www.salon.com/2017/04/25/a-di...13l21L4.reddit

..and the border wall crumbles. Master negotiator, my ****. It's never too late to admit one was wrong about the abject incompetence this man encompasses. At least this idiot sees that it'd be worse for him had the Government shut down on day 100 - having only accomplished destabilising regions, ****ing off allies and shaving a few strokes off his golf game in that time.

It's almost a full time job keeping up with the idiocy that is Trump.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a7701066.html

Donald Trump has been accused of misunderstanding the fundamentals of an ongoing trade spat*between the US and Canada over dairy farming tariffs.
The Republican leader announced he would “address” Canadian milk imports and would allow US farmers to "start selling milk*in our country.”
However his claims have been lambasted as*making “no sense at all”, with many highlighting the minimal amount of Canadian dairy exported to the US -*estimated at $112.6 million (£87m) in 2016 compared to the $631.6 million (£493m) of US dairy exports to Canada. *
“It’s going to mean that farmers are going to start selling milk in our country," Mr Trump told a group of Conservative reporters, according to Breitbart News.*
One user wrote on Twitter: "Trump was talking about Canadian dairy exports. They barely exist. We have a hermetically sealed industry. On dairy, we are North Korea."

Ah, thanks for reminding me!

I was doing some reading on this the other day and the weight of medical evidence seems to suggest that right-wing politics is actually an undiagnosed symptom of mental illness.

He was forever lobbing volleys at Cruz in the primaries and Hillary about her ties to Goldman Sachs. He was in 'nobodies pocket' because he's already a billionaire. Last time I looked, Trump has 5 ex Goldman Sachs 'veterans' in key roles in his administration.

His illegal schilling of Mara-la-go has finally been removed from official websites, the schilling of Ivanka's clothing line got one of his advisors in hot water. For the first time in a long time, Trump didn't spend a golfing weekend at his resort in which he personally pockets millions by doing which is decimating the local economy there.

Now, biggest tax breaks in American history proposed, all of them uniquely targeted at reducing his and the 0.1%'ers tax bill. Where will the shortfall come from? Well, the slashing of community services to the vulnerable will certainly help. They can either pull themselves up by their bootstraps or forgo a new iPhone (as one GOP senator remarked..)

It's a real shame this thread has been taken over by Trump haters and mockers, and anyone who has anything good to say about him is also mocked and is suddenly a right wing fanatic who needs help, is never right and has gone completely mad.

Unfortunately this also reflects the way things are outside of this thread currently. With the terms, racist, bigot, intolerant etc being thrown at anyone who genuinely cares and have concerns about the state of affairs in their country and seeing it head down the wrong path. The vocal minorities and leftists (including media) have very loud voices at the moment and the majority is still relatively silent, interesting to see how long this will continue.

I wonder how those who died for this country since centenary would feel if they see it kneeling down to minorities like it is currently doing.

There is no place for clear thinking and logic on this thread, all the "rats" are here.

From a Forum management point of view, best to have them all in the one place rather than popping up on the other more important threads on the forum.

With the mentality of most posters on this thread, this forum will eventually go the way of Ford Australia.

That's a big stretch - including the ANZACs in this but... I'd say they'd be pretty happy knowing that they laid down their lives for the ability of us all to engage in free speech and discussion, even if that extends to mockery of our "betters".

That's what I'd say they would feel
