He is working his way up........

I saw something on TV last night and it was a workshop in China where they were mass producing little Trump porcelain figures complete with the hair, the lips and hand gestures.
Much better than the original and they should sell well in the US providing no embargo is put on them by the man himself.

Evidently the caps they all wore were made in China,god help us with that nutter in charge.

It's pretty obvious where this Donald Trump circus is heading.
He's alienating Republicans and Democrats alike, he's unnerving powerful businessman both American and foreign.  He's also disloyal to his own CIA and FBI connections.
They WILL find a way to impeach him, very soon, before it costs them too much money or status, or they will organise an assassination which will appear to be some disaffected Mexican guy or maverick North Korean agent, but whatever it is, he's getting close to being history.

Yes - he makes for gruesome yet enthralling watching. Like watching someone cut their own throat...

What the hell has this world come to when this clown is actually sat in the Oval Office calling world leaders on the phone, and talking about issues such as the Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine situation, of which he knows NOTHING about.
This picture would have been just a photoshopped parody a few months ago, now it's real!!

A leading US psychologist has broken the code of ethics in order to confirm and announce his diagnosis of Donald Trump.   
He is certain that he has a serious mental illness called 'malignant narcissism'
Google it, its frightening, but it suits Trump to a tee.
Surely this makes him unfit for office, and the impeachment process can begin even sooner than I expected?

Chatting to a chum who, until this latest edict from Trump, (he's now sworn not to go back to the US until Trump is out of power) spent a lot of time there on business, told me that the two major reasons Trump got as many votes as he did was because despite him being obnoxious,  firstly the Clinton's are so despised in the US some would rather vote for anyone other than Clinton, and, having just had a black President, there was no way that they would now have a female President, that would just be step too far.

It says a lot about both the US electoral system and the US electorate.

One can only pray that he won't last the term and is quickly removed.

They've fitted a new switch to deter Trump now he has the Nuclear Launch Codes.

I have to disagree with you there. That would be disability discrimination, let's just make reasonable adjustments for the President instead. Tying his hands together so he can't hit the red button would be my first one

The peevish child that is Donald Trump lost again in the Federal court tonight, to bring back his ban on visitors from 7 mainly Muslim countries.
He lost 3-0, and one of those judges was a Republican appointee!
He resorted to tweeting in Capitals.....   'SEE YOU IN COURT'
What a great man this is, oh, and he has spent the rest of his 3rd week in office lambasting a private retail company for dropping his daughters range!

Will someone please escort this idiot out of the Whitehouse, before he embarrasses himself and the USA any further.

The standards chief of the US Congress says a senior Trump aide was "wrong, wrong, wrong" to promote Ivanka Trump products on live television.
Kellyanne Conway told Fox News on Thursday: "Go buy Ivanka's stuff."
Retailer Nordstrom earlier this month dropped the US first daughter's clothing line, citing a lack of sales.
The White House said President Donald Trump "absolutely" continued to support Ms Conway, despite intense criticism of her remarks by politicians.
Jason Chaffetz, a Republican who heads the oversight committee in Congress, said the promotion was "clearly over the line, unacceptable".

It beggars belief.

I'm waiting for the movie :-)
