Read that article earlier today. This is something that Trump has carefully planned and cultivated all through his road to the White House with the “fake news” jibe at any story that comes out of a media outlet or person with an alternative opinion to his. His supporters claim fake news at anything that is said against him or his supporters, you could lay the facts in front o fthem and it just gets dismissed as being fake!! This tactic is working and its a frightening one to use because without there being some faith in mainstream news then anything can be trashed as fake!!

The 'trumpet man' now sharing far right videos on Twitter and the guy more or less validating racism with some ludicrous comments! Should twitter ban him this time as they would definitely do it with a similar offender? Ohhh, I forgot - he's the President of the USA! Nuts!

No way will Twitter ban him, nor in my mind should they. He has over 40m followers so the exposure he is giving to Twitter from a marketing perspective is enourmous and if they were to ban him then there are 63m Americans who would be likely to boycott Twitter and they are not going to put themselves in that position!!

They could, however, remove tweets that incite racial hatred. In which case, why hadn't the original tweets from Britain First already been taken down?

Quite right.

I love listening to that lunatic make a complete arse of himself on line. Brightens up the day.

Thats a good point!! He is one of the few people I follow on Twitter. The other side of this is it also gives other respected politicians and Twitter users a unique chance to directly have a go back at him when he does make an arse of himself. The reporting of his tweets almost always contains the responses to them as well, its one of the few forums where that is possible.

Flynn charged and prepared to testify that trump directed him to make contact with the Russians.

Hopefully the full extent of his treachery will become clear in time.

Aye Jim! The plot is gradually unfolding and the US election process has definitely been violated! I think the FBI will eventually 'nail Trump' and vindicate the sacked Comey at the same time! I notice Trump has reason to put on a wry smile after his 'travel ban on Muslims' has been upheld by the US Supreme Court! Words fail me!

I'm well aware of that fact btw but it does not dismiss the 'double standards' that are applied on Twitter when it comes to this type of offence! Nuff said!

Trump's impending formal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is nothing short of astonishing! When I listened to this revelation on bbc world news, I wondered why on earth he, or his advisers, would ever wanna be embroiled in such a 'touchy, intractable issue' - LEAVE WELL ALONE (JUST LIKE PREVIOUS 'WISE' US PRESIDENTS) AND DON'T 'STICK YOUR NOSE' INTO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT CONCERN YOU AND ESP AS IT IS A POTENTIAL POWDERKEG'!!! The man is truly a 'dummy' and a dangerous one to world order!!

This was a campaign pledge of Trump's during the election so he is doing what he said he would do. But their is no political, economic or military reason for even going anywhere near this subject, let alone any moral reasons!!! This decision apparently appeals to his base supporters but again I can see no reason at all why they would or should even care about this, and there is absolutely no reason for this to be part of a US Presidential manifesto!!!

For me I think this is being done to deliberately antagonize Muslims, to create a bit of chaos that will deflect from the issues he is having here in the States. If this was to cause any protests and almost certainly some violence then Trump will use that as an excuse to extend his travel ban, to build a wall to prevent them coming to the US and he will definitely use it to create more hate and division within the US to further his re-election chances in 3 years time. This is a classic move of the narcissist that he is!!
