Trolling for Trump? No point.

I actually had decided not to feature The Donald in my blog for a while but my last post seems to have attracted such an outpouring of vitriol from Trump supporters that I feel the least I can do is to entertain them some more. So, by popular request, I offer you....
Well I don’t know about you, but I’m devastated, devastated I tell you, that DJT isn’t coming to us to open the new American embassy after all. He’s cancelled his trip to London allegedly because our authorities can’t guarantee that he would not be met with hostile demonstrations. Though the word “hostile” is probably superfluous here. Thinking about it, if DJT won’t visit any country unless the authorities can guarantee he won’t be confronted with hostile demonstrations, then that pretty much only leaves Russia for his travels. Нет, вы можете заставить его сказать моих русских друзей.

The cancelled visit is a separate visit from the state visit with the royal coaches and the full-on flummery that Theresa May had offered him during her hand-holding session. There’s no date set for this one, because the Speaker of the House of Commons has made it clear that there’s as much chance of him welcoming Trump to the British Parliament as there is of David Davies negotiating a good deal for Brexit. It’s one thing when the hostile demonstrations are organised by leftie protesters (like wot I might be), it’s quite another when they’re organised by the Speaker of the House of Commons and his men in tights.

So a lower key visit was proposed instead, a so-called working visit, which meant that there would be slightly less time available for golf courses and tweeting. But according to Trump, it’s really all Obama’s fault that this visit has been cancelled. He’s not going to London because Obama got a really bad deal on the new embassy and sold the old building for 'peanuts'. This was quite an achievement for Obama, because it was under George W Bush that the deal was struck to sell of the old embassy, but then in Trump world Obama is responsible for absolutely everything that Trump doesn’t like, except for the stuff that Hillary Clinton is responsible for. Personally I’ve cancelled my own proposed visit to London, too. I’ve just discovered that not everyone who works on Virgin trains is, in fact, a virgin.
Now the man is embroiled in yet another row about racism. During a meeting with US politicians to discuss immigration, he reportedly said, with reference to migration from Haiti and certain Latin American and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then went on to wonder why the US doesn’t concentrate instead on attracting immigration from countries like Norway. Possibly that’s because Norwegians don’t fancy giving up their well paid jobs and their well funded public services to go and pick fruit in California on the minimum wage without healthcare. Just a suggestion.

Trump,just another in the long line of interlectually forgettable leaders. Sadly we all have to bear the consequences. Perhaps a simple IQ test before selection could help but no guarantees here either.Anythings better than the current "spot the looney" method.
