Don't kid yourself

Hey, Natalie, you got me in trouble ;-)

Trouble?

Thank you, Natalie. A gay muslim? LOL! He should consider himself lucky his head is still sitting atop his shoulders!

The violent Muslims are following the Quran and wishes of muhammed.

An actual Christian would never call another Christian a heretic for being peaceful because the bible doesn't say you have to be violent to spread Christianity. The Quran does.

I haven't been on here for a long time (family tragedy). I had enjoyed the good natured banter, the clever invention and blistering humour. So today I started scrolling through and was really sad to see such polarisation and hatred among the users here, due to the new administration in your country. From a British perspective it seems this polarisation is deliberate and that Trump is going through the Modern Dictators Handbook step by step. Create division, create fear, create chaos to provide misdirection. Make the press, the judiciary, and the intelligence community enemies. Convince the poorest, the disenfranchised and the least educated that they will be heard and rewarded for their loyalty (which History proves is never the case). Then gradually take away freedoms and before you know it he will take you to war, because war pays; especially if you are a businessman like Trump dealing in arms, oil or whatever takes the fancy of this man/child billionaire with absolutely no understanding or regard for ordinary people. You're young men will have to enlist and be blown up in which ever country he decides in his lunacy to pick a fight with. Let's hope it isn't one that has a nuclear arsenal or it is game over for all of us. I don't think Clinton was a good choice and I understand why people wanted to make a point, but the rest of the world can see that America voted in a dangerous egomaniac, with obvious allegiances to Russia. This is a country America should fear more than any other and with which it had a long history of mistrust during the cold war (just ask your parents and grandparents). If he wants to talk of dangerous hombres, Putin is top of most Intelligence Services lists. Please don't fight amongst yourselves, you might as well be swapping chairs on the Titanic. Everyone can make a mistake, don't compound it by buying into his apocalyptic agenda. His Presidency has just made our world a much more dangerous place. War is not the same any more, the weapons have a longer reach than they had in WW2 and it will come to everyone's back door this time. Do you all want to be drafted? Is that what you voted for? From someone old, with a long memory and no party partiality, I am telling you this will not end well for any of us. Don't be distracted by this ban or any of his other tricks and empty promises, the real enemy is within, the fox is in the chicken coop.

Very sorry to hear of your family tragedy. Having suffered similar, I feel for you and yours whatever you're dealing with. Regarding Trump, you have missed the point entirely, not surprising, many did and many still do, but the British have been missing the point about America and Americans (not this pussycat crowd capturing the headlines) for better than 200 years. Best to you, my friend and don't believe everything you read in the press. The world should be sleeping better tonight having a man who loves his country as POTUS, rather than the charlatan, Hillary Clinton, who was more than willing to offer us all up to the highest bidder.

Thank you for your kindness about my family. I am sorry you have had similar sadness to contend with. I fear we will have to agree to disagree on this. As I said to another contributor I sincerely hope that you are right and I am wrong, because my fears for all our peoples weigh heavy at the moment. However, for all of the reasons I gave in my longer contribution above, I struggle to see how the world has become safer in the last week or so. I just hope that people remain calm, measured and informed, keep reading, thinking and debating rationally and making up their minds without the fear of recrimination or insult. I have many American friends and it breaks my heart to see division on this scale. God bless you all.

And thanks to you in return. Sadness finds it's way to all of eventually, but when it arrives suddenly and unexpectedly as is usually the case in tragic situations, it jars the very foundations of what we think we know to be steady and constant. As to agreeing to disagree, I will add you to the growing list of people with whom I now suffer a similar relationship. As I understand it, the concepts behind the American revolution were only popular among roughly 30 percent of colonials and the assessment of its outcome was certainly disparate on opposite sides of the Atlantic. While Brexit and Trump may seem precipitous, neither of our countries was excelling with an endless series of politicians whispering that the world is gentle and kind and everything will be fine if we just trust them. It is quite plain to see that the middle east was set afire under the leadership of Obama, Clinton and Cameron. Turning a blind eye to the realities of those who would see an end to our way of life was accomplishing little, save to bring the problems of the desert to our own shores. Only time will tell as to whether Trump can begin to turn back the damage that was being done to our country at an ever increasing pace. I pray he can and I pray the same for the UK, for without a change of course the future of western civilization as we have known it is looking bleak indeed.

Did you vote for brexit?
Trump is not a dictator either.
He just wants to protect America and not let in 1000s of barbarians to rape our people like what's going on in Europe and the uk.
Have you ever heard of the group "Britain First"?

I have heard of Britain First they are a far right extremist group with a dangerous agenda. They advocate violence and I don't. I am sorry if anything I have said offended you. I always believe that to find compromise and middle ground is the rational choice. When we become polarised and take entrenched positions there is usually only one outcome, suffering on both sides. Political history shows us that time and time again. I may not hold with all of your thoughts, but I would defend with my last breath your right to your opinion. :)

You British need to stay out of our politics, it's hardly your business to begin with. I get sick of hearing international countries complain that we have made a decision for a leader who could be good or bad for our country. It's a learning experience, and he is not a dictator. He is very pro-america, and Americans have been against Dictators forever. Your logic confuses me.

The liberals are the ones attacking Trump supporters everywhere. THEY are the ones creating division, not Trump. Don't fall for the lies.

I gave a good deal of thought to what I posted. When you or someone you love is drafted, I hope you remember there were good people who stood back from all the smoke and mirrors and tried to warn you. Keep you mind, your eyes and your heart open. You are being played by an expert negotiator and he doesn't give a damn about you. Why would he?

Doesn't make you right. Trump isn't out to get anyone. War is the LAST thing he wants. You're mistaken, sorry.

As Ripley says in Aliens 'I hope you're right, I really do'. I am also glad that some one so confidently professes to know the mind of Donald Trump, when it appears to elude him so regularly.

That's funny because he made threats of war throughout his entire campaign. I don't think war is the last thing he wants. I don't think he cares. He's an insecure madman at the helm of a very powerful army. God help us all.

Why do you think they're so angry? Trump ran a divisive campaign and sowed discord every step of the way. And now you expect everyone to just lay there and do nothing? He angered people. This is the result. Blame him.

The media is to blame for making him out to be Hitler.

Who did he threaten? Hillary was the one threatening to attack Russia over cyber attacks. Being mad doesn't give them the right to riot and attack Trump supporters.

Sorry to tell you, but your thoughts aren't your own. You have fallen for the lies of the mainstream media and aren't living in reality.
