I appreciate that Trump has found quite a lot of ways to annoy people but it doesnt

As someone pointed out the other day, if these people *actually* believed this bloke was the new Hitler, wouldn't the tone of their protests be a bit more fvcking serious? Instead, they are platforms for performative virtue signalling, dressing up and childish name-calling - which suggests they don't believe their own rhetoric for a single fvcking second. Tw@ts.

Isn't the bottom line that people, whether they hate Trump or are somewhat indifferent, don't really take him seriously. Even a proportion of those that support him don't really take him seriously, do they?

No. We are repeatedly being told by media idiots that we must take him incredibly seriously as a threat to something or other. You can't move for hysterical hyperbole about him.

You have to take him seriously, he is the ****ing President.

He may have been a joke candidate but he bloody won. He is technically the most powerful man in world politics. That sounds pretty serious.

Of course it's serious, but there's no basis for him being considered a threat.

Every President is a threat. This one is also a bit of a ****. Again, hardly new territory.

THe extent to which he can be considered a threat on the global stage rests on the assumption that diplomacy and sabre rattling depend on one individual. THey dont.

Trump is not going to accidentally start a war any more than Bush made a decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq on his own. There are many, many people at the table and it is their job to make sure that global peace isnt reliant on the President's mood.

My other half is adamant that he is in the early stages of dementia.

Your other half is a/ a bloke and b/ in the early stages of dementia?

a/ I'm delighted you trust us enough to come out like that.
b/ I'm really terribly sorry.
