When you make a documentary about a political 'personality', it's best to select a subject who has something resembling a personality.

Babies are spoken to in gobbledegook, and are later told to believe in virgin birth, resurrection, and so on—with the threat of eternal damnation if they don't.
Is it surprising that many adults will believe any old conspiracy theory or Trump/MAGA lie?
We must teach rational, analytical thinking.

Noem's love song for Trump and Miller:
"Don't tell me
It's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it
There's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you, oh yeah"
Getting her excuses in early.

Trump likes to call many of his opponents 'low IQ'? Does anyone know what he bases it on?
We know that his claim to genius is based on the fact that he can store five items in short-term memory, provided they're "person, woman, man, camera, TV”, and can recognise a couple of farmyard animals.

Why does the US self-harm? Prohibition (stupid, unfeasible policy), McCarthyism, civil unrest, Vietnam, war on Iraq because some Saudis attacked the US, sub-prime mortgage crisis, and now fascism because the alternative was a sensible black female President.

Trump is more concerned about a nurse legally carrying a weapon (and not using it) than a gunman who allegedly grazed his ear.
He continually rails against all sorts of people, often in the early hours of the morning, but never mentions the man who supposedly tried to kill him. Very strange.

If a bullet whizzes past your ear, or grazes it imperceptibly, why does the 'blood' spurt in the opposite direction?
Still, great photo. Sold a lot of t-shirts.

Farage thinks the minimum wage for younger age groups is too generous, as are public service pensions. He'll be receiving an estimated EU pension of £73K.
Neither the state pension nor the NHS is safe in his hands. Apart from being nasty to immigrants and copying Trump, he has nothing to offer.

Keep those Tory defectors coming, Farage. Reform is now clearly a party of millionaires and far-right ex-Tories.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and proud killer, Donald Trump, portrays immigrants as rapists and killers. Where's the evidence?
For example, how many people rounded up by ICE are citizens, or undocumented (not a federal crime)? Without such basic data, how can further funding be authorised?

Reform is fast becoming the home of far-right Tories who contributed to the massive general election defeat.
How ironic if the UK elects a far-right govt just after the US ejects Trump.

Musk was horrified when people in the UK were jailed for inciting violent rioting against immigrants.
Presumably he's championing US citizens who are exercising their right to free speech. Isn't he?
