A really clever and incisive response from a Brit to the question, "Why do so many Brits not like Trump?"


A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

(I hope this was not published here earlier. I got it from another poster at a different forum where I participate. The article is solid.)
 
Trump shows what a low-class bully he is every day. The rightys admire that. That says a lot about them. Trump thinks diplomacy is bullying and threatening, like the "perfect" phone call. Who says things like a phone call being perfect? Yet it showed he was using the aid to wring a concession out of Zelensky. He can not help himself. That is who and what he is. He embarrasses anyone with tact and intelligence, but energizes those who are like him.
Trump is rude and crude. The English writer was pointing that out. Trump is devoid of a sense of humor. He thinks teenage putdowns are wit. I hate to listen to his talks because I leave with thinking "what an idiot he is". His rallies are childish displays of brutal and nasty insults and put-downs.

Trump is a moron by presidential standards, and has neither style nor substance.

Lets ask Trump's own staff and cabinet what they think of Trump's cognitive capacity and "substance".

‘Idiot,’ ‘Dope,’ ‘Moron’: How Trump’s own aides have insulted the boss

• Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader,”

• White House chief of staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged,”

• Omarosa Manigault Newman, who was the highest-ranking African-American staffer in the West Wing, claimed that Trump is a “racist, misogynist and bigot.”

• Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former chief of staff Reince Priebus called Trump an “idiot,”

• Former economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump was “dumb as shit,”

• Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said the president was a “dope,”

• Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said in November 2017 that Trump was “like an 11-year-old child,”

• Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017 called Trump a “moron,”

• At a dinner in July 2017, McMaster mocked Trump, also calling him an “idiot,”

• At the dinner, which was with Oracle CEO Safra Catz, McMaster also said Trump was a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,”

Tell that to the record high employed.
Countries who are now trading fairly.
Or just accept the reality of a successful administration.
 
The Brits voted to keep Boris Johnson in power. Boris and Trump have many similarities. They also are both hated by the media.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the Conservative voters in the UK don't hate Trump. It doesn't really matter if the rest of their voters don't like him.

Hate is the wrong word. Despise is more like it.

You should read the comments in the (conservative) Telegraph. The editorial line is to say nothing if you can find nothing good to say. But if many British conservatives admire Trump, they're keeping damn quiet about it.

And Johnson is NOTHING LIKE Trump.

Fair enough. Usually, when someone is a nationalist that supports the interests of their own country above others, they're not well liked abroad. Obama was a globalist, so it's no surprise that other countries liked him. He did not put America's interests first at all.

Trump is holding a lot of other countries accountable, particularly in Europe.

Of course, Obama put our interests first. He did it within the international frameworks that exist. Trump is squabbling with international trading partners. We are still trading with them. That never stops and is way beyond Trump's powers. He is a showman and you bought a seat. Obama was working on the TPP which was a pact between Asian countries and the US that dealt China out. He negotiated a treaty with Iran that ended their nuclear bomb production. It made us and the world safer.
What does holding countries accountable mean.?

The TPP was not in our best interests or really the best interests of any citizen of any nation. A lot of free trade agreements, like the TPP, just make it harder to hold corporations accountable. In the case of the TPP, the biggest issue was the ISDS system. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/isds-lawsuit-financing-tpp_n_57c48e40e4b09cd22d91f660

The TPP is far from being the only trade agreement with similar issues, however. Strangely, it used to be the left that didn't like a lot of free trade agreements for things like this. Now, it would seem that more people on the right are starting to take up causes like this.

The Iran deal did not prevent Iran from moving forward with nuclear weapons. It was basically an appeasement treaty.

Holding accountable countries is in reference to calling out the lack of funding coming from other NATO countries for defense and to calling out China over fentanyl production and their theft of intellectual property.

The TPP was in our best interests. The Iran treaty kept Iran from making nuclear weapons. You cannot make that a small achievement. It was working fine and all the other signatories said so. Iran even honored the deal for long after.
There is also another problem. Trump decided to individually walk out of pacts the country is in, abrogating the trust any country had with America. Trump can make a deal and change his mind at any time. That is huge. The entire concept of international treaties has been destroyed. Why would a country enter in a deal with us? Or can a country do so, and simply walk out if the net leader decides to.
This is a fundamental way nations keep the peace . Now they are meaningless. Trade deals, mean nothing. We are responsive to the moods of King Trump.

How was the TPP in our best interests?

As far as the Iran deal goes, I'll trust Israel over Iran.

As far as treaties go, they aren't meaningless, but if an administration believes they aren't in the best interests of the nation, they should certainly change them or end them if necessary. People still do business with us, because they need our consumption and fear our military power. That's the advantage of being the world's last superpower.
