I wish I was surprised or even a bit startled but I'm not. Trump reminds me of "Bob Rumpson" from the movie "The American President". Bob only cares about doing two things. Telling you what to be afraid of and who to blame for it. Don and his ilk thrive in the atmosphere of ignorance and fear that now pervades America in large part thanks to their polemic rhetoric that makes far too many US citizens hate anyone who's even a little different to them.

I wish this was just true in America but unfortunately it seems to be a global problem. Look at the rise of dictators like Erdogan and Orban in Turkey and Hungary and brexit where judges are described as traitors for simply upholding the law. Facts no longer matter.

Sadly I agree. I just hope it turns around soon. I'm not optimistic though.

UN General Assembly laughs at Trump

made me laugh when i saw the reaction. I'm sure they thought he was joking.

I don't think anyone is silly enough to believe that now Glos. Trump truly feels he's the greatest president ever and that he's at least as big as Jesus. The sad fact is there seem to be quite a few Americans particularly in the Southern States who agree with him.

Although I think hes dismantling the office of President, and showing no respect for anyone, he is sticking by his voters down in the South. Just goes to show that even an idiot can get a gamble right sometimes.

It's all about who shows up at the polls.  Only 58% of American voters who were eligible, voted.  Today's hearings have made it difficult for the Republicans and the question is how long the party adheres to Trump's whims.  Today women are being empowered... and could turn the Congress in 6 weeks.  Interesting times!

Its all falling down around his ears, and he doesn't seem to know how to stop it. His bluff, arrogant start of his Presidential career was different, but now he's hanging on by his fingertips I think.

Agree, but I would say another body part, not his fingertips.
Can't wait to see what Melania soaks him for after the divorce when he leaves office.

He's doing a fine job, just look at North Korea. We'll all be going there for our holidays in a couple of years.

North Korea’s gone tits up for him, you must pay attention.

Don't talk nonsense. The US and NK are buddies now. All thanks to Trump.

If you want to make the best of your holiday in Pyongyang in 2020, yes.

Why bother? Just do the same as most other Brit’s by talking louder and slower with hand gestures!
