Phil1111 1,149 #3 July 5, 2018 ndegeIt should be an embarrassment to all thinking people to have the epitome of the ugly American as President. Thankfully I still have my UK passport. With the exception of Russia and Israel, displaying a US identity outside US territories may be problematic. See option #5 in the "Sarah Sanders, Feed her, or boot her? " thread. Further stories about the shunning of trump supporters: Alan Dershowitz says ‘friends on Martha’s Vineyard’ are shunning him for defending Trump http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20180704/alan-dershowitz-says-friends-on-marthas-vineyard-are-shunning-him-for-defending-trump "It looks suspiciously like travellers are voting with their feet and turning their backs on the US. The potential loss in revenue for the country is significant: Euromonitor figures show British travellers numbered some 4.5 million in 2015 while other fast-growing markets, notably the Chinese (2.5m) and German (2.2m), also look vulnerable. And now there are calls from around the world for tourists to boycott the US. So, should we?" https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2017/feb/01/should-travellers-boycott-the-us-trump-america I'm sure that the UK will provide trump with an appropriate welcome. We Brits are renowned for our politeness – but even we can't stomach holding a state visit for Donald Trump https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/donald-trump-state-visit-travel-ban-the-queen-theresa-may-protest-a7553486.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he went without the Secret Service, it might imply a modicum of bravery. With them? Not so much.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

wan2doit 6 #10 July 6, 2018 True - secret service has protected our leaders and others they are assigned to very well since they were formed in 1902 after the 3rd president William McKinley was killed. JFK was the secret service's 1st failure - I was teen and ventured into politics for the 1st time to support him back then but don't have any recollection of the angst, hatred and ridicule of JFK like what is happening with Trump (IMO off the charts) thus my thought that people concede he has a modicum (possibly large) of courage.

Haha what? I think you might have watched Taken too many times. London currently has an unusually high murder rate of 1.8 (recently driven up by knife crime) whereas Washington is about the safest it's ever been with a murder rate of 18 (with more of them shootings). If you missed the decimal point, that's one-point-eight vs eighteen-point-oh. If one has to draw a conclusion regarding courage, it would probably be that Trump is coming to London because he's too scared to remain in DCDo you want to have an ideagasm?

Most of the world thinks he's a fool. Not so much of a threat towards them, in particular. Most (as in almost all) of the world has very limited access to guns. Unless he goes to Syria or something, he's likely to be in the 'near presence' (as in within a mile or so) of far, far, far more guns here in the US than anywhere else in the world. Most of the 'gun nuts' are Trumpettes. He's not in any real danger from them. I doubt he's all that brave. I don't think he understands the concept of physical danger. He's been protected his entire life."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
