If this is how they treat a good President and think about the voters of America who voted President Trump in, then let the Brits sink with the ship as illegal aliens and immigrants have turned England in a down spiral.

The Brits can’t even agree about Brexit and many government officials have resigned in the last month.

Americans are not even safe in England so think twice and Croatia and other former Eastern Block countries like Hungary are way nicer to visit and more safe!

Let the Brits admire dictators and see how long they will love their hate for a good person. I feel very offended by the actions of the mayor of London and will not travel there until he is gone!
The majority of the UK and the US do not think Trump is a good president.

The Brits have been around a long time--I don't think they'll sink. And maybe we (and Trump) should not be telling them what to do.

The Brits can't agree? Neither can Americans--more people voted for the president's opponent than for him. We are incredibly polarized and there is a lot more violence here. Many government officials have resigned in England? Do you know how many of Trump's administration have resigned. Here's a hint--a lot.

Trump is the epitome of The Ugly American, and this post bashing England is pretty ugly as well. Glass houses and all.

Touche! I guess the Brits just consider Trump more of a jackass than the Saudi leader and they're as entitled to their opinions as Trump is to his.

I have relatives in Ireland and all they ever hear is how bad, racist and dangerous with guns America is. Trump is the cherry on top of the mess. They seldom hear anything positive.
Perhaps they should expand their news watching. There are alternatives. I for one, get news from many sources and they piece together what is hyperbole and what is based on fact. Listening to clips of what was actually said etc.

By that, I concluded that Trump is an ass, a fool, ignorant of history and the world, selfish, egotistical, a racist, and acting like Russia controls him. He is dangerous.

As for hearing things positive. Most news isn't positive. Most news agencies in the world don't do as many fluff pieces as you see on US networks, where news is treated as entertainment.

I understand about people can have their opinions, but why such the opinions reaction to Trump, yet the Saudi dictator, who runs one of the most oppressive countries in the world, has maybe a few dozen protesters which do not even make the news?

Sure, I get it, they do not like Trump, well, I am sure they probably do not like a lot of people, yet do not take the time of day to protest them. But again, protesting because why? What exactly, like an exact reason, are they protesting? And is that reason really worth all this effort? I can think of dozens and dozens, hell hundreds, of policies, regulations, laws, etc, that I disagree with. But I am not out protesting hours a day over them, it would be ridiculous for me to over every little thing I dislike.

The Precious Little Snowflakes and their followers are really asking for it. They continue to push, and push, and push, and push the envelope with their ever escalating taunts, goading, and daring, trying to see just how big of A-holes they can really be.


Sooner or later, the Right is going to finally decide they've had enough and fire back a retaliatory shot and it's going to be Kent State all over again. And then of course the little Snowflakes will sit there, play dumb, feign ignorance, and weep about being "poor innocent victims". Again.


All of this can be summed up into a 30 second video that's out there. Perhaps you've seen it.


It shows what is supposed to be an underground UFC type fight between a US Marine and some other dude.


The smaller guy is acting incredibly obnoxious, dancing in the face of the Marine, and just being a belligerent little punk.


The Marine just stands there, waiting patiently and when he sees his chance, knocks the punk out cold in one punch.


Keep it up Snowflakes. That's going to be you. You're going to be unconscious on the ground and never know what hit you.
Are you a writer for professional wrestling or something? Because I haven't seen anything that cheesy and ridiculous "tough guy" since my roomates used to watch that stuff back in the 90's lol.

Either that or you've spent the last couple days on some sort of 80's action movie marathon with such classics as Tango & Cash, Road House and so forth.

Now go pew pew pew at call of duty or whatever and work out that anger in a healthy manner instead of talking about shooting people whose free speech you disagree with.

Frankly, most republicans I know with large gun collections would rather plug you for wanting to shoot people over their constitutionally protected stances than someone marching around complaining about Trump.

I admire the people in the U.K at least they are willing to take a stand against someone who they have issues with. People here in the U.S won’t take the stand for the same thing. At least to this extent.

Excellent (and accurate) description of the Trump methodology!
