There is actually a big difference. The retoric used by Trump is blatently, racist, xenofobic, sexist and in general inflamatory. If he becomes commander in chief, he'll have the power of te greatest war machine on the planet. He comes over vindictive and petty and insanely narcisistic and it's scary. Remember we in Europe had a person like that in the thirties and he nearly destroyed the entire continent.Well I guess it shoudn't amaze me but I've seen alot of variations on the theme we don't care.The problem with that is simple the world has to care. Whatever happens in the US has huge impact on the rest of the world. If you pick a president the rest of the world hopes for someone smart and responsible enough to recognise their is something outside the US border. 2008 busted your mortgage market and the subsequential damage bankrupted more then 1 governement to just give an obvious example. Our fear is with all the stuff Trump has been saying he's about the least responsible person there is. It might be just posturing but nobody really knows for sure. Hence the strong reactionsThis is an indication of how foolish and misguided Trump supporters are regarding international relations: it is of great importance what our strongest and closest international ally thinks of a person who aspires to be the US president. It's hugely important.Actually, I don't give a rat's ass about anything Parliament says or does.
I'm certainly not the first one to say it. Jerry Lee Lewis told them a long time ago to kiss his ass. England needs us more than we need them.
Which means little. The man could turn out to be a great President or an awful one. No one knows. Everyone thought Obama would be the one to bring the nation together yet he has proven to be the divider-in-chief. One never knows.
Racist? Really? Some folks don't think so:
