trump has a billion terrible qualities but his worst may be his simpleminded gullibility and the ease with which he can be manipulated
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Not that anybody asked, but If you accumulated all the flora, fauna, and metal that your True Love gives you each day in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song, you would own 12 Trees, 40 Gold Rings, 140 Humans, and 185 Birds of 6 different species.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).
She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.
She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.
Horrible.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.
The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

If the BBC can get sued for £10bn for simply cutting 20 seconds out of a video about Donald Trump, because it's 'lying'.
Then Donald Trump can get sued for $500tn, and that's just last week.

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp
And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin”
Which-of course-is not dissimilar from Trump calling Somalis “garbage”
