– Turkish proverb
“The fact that the country would choose to destroy itself by voting in a convicted felon rapist and Nazi is a sign of deep nihilism. To put it mildly.” John Cusack
Stephen King said: “There’s a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT’S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy.”
Whoopi Goldberg, who has been outspoken about her feelings on Trump, said: “He’s the president. I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change.”
British author Philip Pullman simply said: “Goodbye, America. It was nice knowing you.”
Piers Morgan sent Trump his “congratulations”, calling his triumph “the greatest comeback in political history”. He said it was “a testament to your resilience, mental strength & never-give-up mentality as your enemies tried to kill you, jail you and brand you the new Hitler. Good luck in your second term.”
Well, I suppose someone has to like him, and so far we got the DUP, Reform and Piers Morgan… what more could he want?
Jamie Lee Curtis wrote: “Many fear their rights will be impeded and denied. Many, minority groups and young people will be afraid. Gay and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve.”
Comedy star Christina Applegate urged people to “unfollow” her if they were supporting Trump, which she said was a “vote against” female and disability rights.
Offt, imagine that dirty old man touching you…
As one of the president-elect’s most important backers, the tech billionaire, Elon Musk donated more than $119m (£92m) to re-elect Trump, who has promised Musk a job in his administration.
Needless to say, SIR Keir Starmer and the British government which had been backing Harris, rushed to congratulate Trump. Strange given how the Foreign Secretary not long ago calling him a ‘neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath’ – said: ‘The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. We look forward to working with you and J D Vance in the years ahead.
Imagine looking forward to working with a neo-nazi. Still, read my lips and all that.
His Sirness has demanded that Cabinet Ministers refrain from saying anything, lest one of them, just for a change, tell the truth and upset the big white… or rather, orange, chief.
In the meantime, Reform yUK has suggested that Starmer should use Farage’s “close friendship” with Trump and roll out the red carpet for Trump. So I expect, that Starmer will be rushing there to invite the “neo-nazi” on another state visit.
At least the proper queen, who allegedly loathed Trump, won’t have to suffer him this time, but they also won’t be able to palm him off on his friend and fellow Epstein fan, AirMiles, as he’s in the dog house for being a nonce. William’s lot would have to be kept at arms length since Trump, having seen nude pictures of Middleton sneaked by the press years ago, made some pretty lewd comments about her.. and how he wouldn’t mind. So it looks as if it’s all down to Snarls and Mrs Parker Woodbines.
At 78, Trump is the oldest man to ever become president and there are worries about his physical and mental heath. It is quite possible, if not probable, that he won’t last the 4 years….
… but then there’s J D Vance!!!
