All comments ... as well as the excellent opinion piece (save one) are justifiable and the truth.

But I believe this man's Most Dangerous flaw, the one that affects all ...

is that He Is A Traitor!

- Inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 that killed people and involved hunting down a Vice President as if he was an animal and after being alerted that Mr. Pence was in danger, and his President's response was "SO WHAT!". Despicable.

What should a person think when in plain sight, the world witnessed Mr. Trump stealing boxes and boxes of America's Highly Classified Documents, hiding them in his bathroom.

This wasn't light reading it included game plans for military actions with Iran, and even names and identities of US personally that would be like candy should he bargain, or barter this confidential information to our enemies.

Mr. Putin comes to mind .
in fact, whose to say he hasn't already shared this vital information.

The fact that he has now been exposed connecting with Mr. Putin Seven Times since losing the election in 2020 (which is illegal) is not only despicable but Dangerous not only to America's security but the world.

Witty jokes aside, though welcomed ...

The Serious and Most Alarming Fact is This Man Is A TRAITOR.

Those that prefer to deny this, ignore it, claim it's not true ... are part of the problem here.

Apologies, but truth here ...

Head In The Sand is Head Up The Ass.

Walistair… This isn’t meant to be a serious “article.” It’s a humorous opinion piece written four years ago, based on the writer’s view of Trump as a president, but I can’t see anything he said that isn’t true about Trump. He has no honor, no compassion for others, no respect for the Constitution, no control over the lying garbage that he spews every time he opens his mouth. He lies constantly! His “sense of humor” consists of insulting others, babbling insanely about Hannible Lector, deliberately garbling names like an 8-year-old boy. “Kamabla”? “George Sloppadopolis”? “Gavin Newscum?” This man wants to be a world leader? This is someone you respect? And you ask where this “hatred for Trump” come from?

This 'Walistair' comment simply shows he is among that third of the population who has exactly the same character traits as trump himself, that he admires so much. Nate White was a Master in his discernment that hits the nail on the head, thank you!!

"No compassion" "No coolness" "No wit" "Never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once" "almost inhuman" "Picasso of pettiness" "Makes Nixon look trustworthy" "Makes George W look smart" "Trump is a Troll"

This entire article is the epitome of TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. When you get all of your information about Trump from BBC News, I suspect this is the picture you'll have of him. This article is basically a long and insulting YouTube comment from a wine aunt that is chronically on Twitter. It's just non stop hate from top to bottom. The author must really think they did something really intelligent and thoughtful here.

It reminds me of the things people said in 2015 when Trump was running for President the first time. We were told repeatedly by experts and celebrities and politicians and news anchors, whole hosts of professional opinionators, that Trump would re-enslave the black people, that he would start a nuclear war, that he was "literally Hitler", that he would destroy America and destroy the world. Many celebrities assured us they would leave America if Trump won (they didn't). Even today, you have a comically deranged Robert DeNiro screaming into a microphone "First Trump will destroy America, then he will destroy the world!" - an exact quote! Do you think that? It's crazy to me that people genuinely believed that first time, and genuinely still believe it again! Those same professionals assured us all of the certainty that there would be multiple Hitler-esque Holocausts in America within the first year of this Presidency. Where does this hatred for Trump come from?

It became immediately obvious when I read the racist insult "fat white slug" - yep, they managed to also make it about the leftist racial hierarchy. I felt I knew it was coming up, racist leftists seem to make every attempt to make absolutely every iota of political opinion and even culture all about their racial beliefs. Sorry I'm just not really buying into your ethnicity ideologies! People are people to me! I don't buy into your racial hatreds!! Stop hating people for their colour please!

The author seems to not only have a deep disdain, or even a hint of hatred, for 50% of the US population that vote for him, but seems to think Trump lacks all of those aforementioned qualities - how do you become the US President if you have no wisdom? How do you achieve what he did even before the Presidency if you have no credibility? How do you have every New York rapper rapping about you if you have no coolness? How do you have a theatre filled with hateful Democrats laugh heartily (as did Hilary!) if you have no wit or humour? How do you command the respect of so many servicemen and servicewomen if you have no honour? How did he successfully flip decades-old Democrat allegiances with Unions and Firefighters if he he's "just a troll" and nothing else? What profoundly insulting and denigrating things are you saying about those Americans?

Is the author implying they're thick, deluded, insane, racist, pure evil, a mixture of all of it? There's tens of millions of good and informed Americans that might not even necessarily disagree with some of the puerile insults in this "article" but much prefer Trump's America over Biden or Bush's or potentially Harris's America. Some people will take mean tweets over unaffordable groceries. Forgive them this crime Nate! Maybe they're just not buying the BS second time round!!

Frankly, I can see why there are some chronically online leftists who have attempted to murder Ivanka's husband, Barrons dad, Donald. A father and a husband, nearly murdered, because hate rhetoric like this justifies action like this every day. I can see why those female hosts of The View laughed at Ivanka for her short publication following the near murder of her husband - they must have so much hate for Trump that they want him to be killed. And i feel the author is probably very sympathetic to those incel would-be assassins. How crazy that within my lifetime, the left lost its compassion and humility and love, and is left only with hate.

LELAND BRIGGS JR
TRUMP IS A BAFFOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A remarkably detailed, poignantly accurate depiction of Trump in the short space of an article.

'Plump' only loves money. He is brimming with hate for everyone and everything else. His contempt has no bottom. He hates himself most of all. Shame on his enablers for pushing this disaster of a being onto us. We have done nothing to deserve this mess.

Brilliant, witty and exceptionally accurate. I am an American and am not a regular London Daily reader, but this article will change that. The latter anyhow. And god forbid, If Chump prevails in the November election, my nationality may also change. And if not physically for I am somewhat elderly, at least I shall be keeping my nationality to myself, embarrassed to admit I am from a country which could elect such a crass, stupid, ignorant facsimile of a man to the whitehouse. We still have 30 days. I remain optimistic that many more of my fellow countrymen will see through this Picasso of S**T.

I agree whole heartedly, i also think he is totally ignorant on the ways of the world. His rhetoric has made it ok to hate.

Excellent description of this man. And yet despite his ugliness, his immoral character, his criminal record, half of my country back him. They say it’s a witch hunt or mud slinging that we mortals throw out. They blame the media, democrats, women, dogs, cats, Haitians, All Immigrant…basically everyone but Trump for Trump. His backers are constantly explaining or defending what he says. Trump says what he means. No explanations needed. He is an ugly human being who only wants to be a dictator and stay out of jail. MAGA has been permitted to exercise their hate by Trump. There has never been a president that has cultivated prejudice as much as Trump.

Spot on!! Bravo!!

The blind partisanship in the US is tearing that country apart. People turn a blind eye and vote for an absolute pig of a human because he represents the party their ancestors voted for. Alarming and disgusting.

it's best stated this way: Harris for President 2024; trump for Federal Prison 2024
Thank you for your spot-on description of a 34-count felon who (embarrassingly) is running for POTUS again

Notice how the world is falling apart under the current administration, I think people are fed up with that. Unfortunately, in a two-party system, you only get two options. His administration is the lesser of two evils and I don’t support or want to be apart of WWIII… So I’ll vote for him all day long despite all the mud the main stream media throws at him. Kamala and Walz literally have no notable political achievements that would make me think they are a good fit to lead the United States in the current state of the world. So I can deal with four more years of mean tweets if it brings us back to a sense of global stability and life becomes affordable again.

Thank you for your surgically precise depiction of Trump. It terrifies me that the presidential race is 'close.'

As an American citizen I am embarrassed and ashamed how many people support this selfish , disgusting man with no plan except to keep himself out of prison. Fox news holds some accountability for not reporting the truth.

My boyfriend is a born Englishmen and wholeheartedly agrees!

Without a doubt, Donald Trump lives in the sewer of human existence and is a bottom feeder of his world. Shamefully, though, he has feverish support in the United States and will possible be the face of this country in the coming years.

But I do think that Trump is a convicted felon. Lest I err.

A lot of people are afraid of the black and brown criminals invading this white country Different people are afraid of different things. I am afraid of unhinged racists like Donald Trump and of white murderers like Alex Murdaugh, an enthusiastic Trumper, who, down in South Carolina, murdered his son and wife, motivated by Trump-like greed.

Except that he is criminally insane. A fifth rate Hitler.

We’re being deluged by criminals says the convicted criminal.

Uh-oh, he’s back to the Republican pronunciation. Ka-malla. Give him another year, he’ll learn.

Who can doubt that Hurricane Helene never would have happened if the 2020 election had not been stolen. We all know that Trump won. Overwhelmingly. And everyone knows it.

Wow! Totally agree be so sad for United States of America and the world if he possibly wins this election🙏🏻💙💙

He is utterly repellant to be sure. But he reflects the the views of millions of Americans who are racists, misogynists, or scared and looking for a savior.

Well, maybe Dick and Pat. They were sizzling.

A lovely couple the Trumps. Greater love there never was..

Spot On !
We are extremely dismayed with the intolerable bunch that continue to lap up his every word, appearing to us that we share this country with some folks that have the discernment of Gnats.
We are left shaking our heads, as we know the rest of the World joins us in disbelief & utter disgust .
Let the Gate hit him hard on his way out !

Trump is a house in a vacant lot.

As an American, thank you for writing this.
You're put everything I've felt about Trump since the 1980s into one article.

Appreciate the article. Definitely aligns with what I think of DJT. Too bad his followers can’t get their heads out of the sand. Thanks

Too bad his inability to read will ensure he never gets through this

Sadly, Trump has exposed what many Americans have known for some time. A large swath of us are ruffians. Remember when you sent them all here a few hundred years back? Well, they never left and many of them procreated.

American here. Thank you sincerely for this. Most of us are terrified right now if we’re paying attention. The way the system has been rigged to give this particular minority in America such power is frighteningly diabolical. I’ve always been dismayed at how the world often views American tourists. People say we are the worst. I posit that Americans are not the worst as a whole, but just under a third of us really are the very worst sort.

Wow! This is right on the button!

This deserves a Pulitzer. On behalf of more than half of America, thank you!

He hit the nail on the head and the nail should be in Trumps Brain!!!

A superb article. I tip my hat to the author.

Let’s not forget what this narcissist did to so many imigrants: separating families, displacing children! Trumps defines hate, greed, misogyny, stupidity and cruelty!! And SHAME on our daycare media that reinforces his cult behavior.

Mr. White does an admirable job of describing the unfathomable depths of Trump’s depravity in poetic detail. However, the author omits a proper summation of the modern age’s most despicable character. In my view, Trump is the emissary of Satan on earth!

Proof: there can be no doubt that Trump’s plan to launch a worldwide tariff war on all imported goods with up to 60% tariffs on Chinese imports alone, coupled with deporting 11 + million immigrants (8%+ of US work force, would trigger late 1930’s style German hyperinflation along with severe labor and food shortages, stock market crash and economic collapse.

Further, abandoning Ukraine and NATO will embolden Putin to commit further aggression. Poland, France and UK and all of NATO still bear the scars of WWII and will NEVER cede Ukraine to Putin. Therefore, Trump’s surrender to Putin will no doubt trigger WWIII.

Another Trump Presidency (God forbid) guarantees economic depression and world war. Consequently, Trump leaves no doubt amongst sentient beings via his own words and deeds that he is a creature from the underworld of darkness and despair whose goal is nothing more or less than worldwide Armageddon !

That should have been the author’s summation.

As much as I agree with the author, it’s important to understand the impact of the propaganda that millions of Americans are fed by certain news sources. They’re getting lied to and manipulated every single day. So while I am contemptuous of these people’s political views, I realize they’re trapped in a self-reinforcing non-information bubble.

You couldn't be more correct.

Every day, I am freshly astounded that more of my fellow Americans can't see how shallow he is. Even if he shares your politics, can't you see that he's complete fraud? How can you miss it?

He certainly is every negative stereotype of (my fellow) Americans.

I’m American. This is brilliant. I hope he reads it.

As an American I can truly say we (millions of us) detest him! He is repugnant!

I can’t believe any self-respecting woman - or any decent man, for that matter, would vote for Trump. His new absurd, absolutely tone-deaf claim that he will be the “protector of women” is by far the most telling sign of Trump’s mental breakdown. The man who brags about killing Roe v Wade is a protector of women? The adjudicated rapist is a protector of women? The man who has bragged about being able to “grab them by the p***y” is a protector of women? The man who claims that he didn’t assault women because they weren’t “attractive” by his shallow standards? A man who cheated on all three of his wives? A man who buried his first wife in a convenient spot on his golf course for a tax write-off?

He is absolutely shameless, and he is getting worse every day. Of course, Trump will say it is all “fake news,” as he does about every bit of news he doesn’t like. He thinks all women are really that stupid.

I can't believe Americans are letting this fool run for president again. He's not just a threat to democracy in the US, he's going to follow Putin's orders and dismantle NATO. He's a real threat to world peace.

I couldn’t have said it better myself thanks for sharing He is a pompous ass

Without fail, his foolishness is so embarrassing, it is difficult to describe. We have tolerated this freak for at least three decades. Poof! Make him go away.

What’s the saddest thing is that so many people believe him. He’s a pathological liar and seems to get part of his stump speech from cruel, hateful and radical web sites. NO ability for original thought (too dumb!)

And so say all of us for he is a jolly bad fellow

Spot on! Excellent analysis!

Well said, my British friends.... He's a nascacistt, scam artist, convicted fellon, masognist, and yes, a threat to democracy.... I could go on....

Spot on. A perfectly accurate description.

As the Brits would say "This is brilliant!"

Perfection! There is not on kind cell in this waste of human flesh.

I do, indeed, agree with your portrayal of Trump. But I take umbrage with the superior British tone. It was that attitude which made the people of England think it was perfectly fine to exert control over Ireland for 800 years, committing horrific atrocities, and to go on committing similar atrocities in India and your other colonies. Please, spare us the smugness.

oh SNAP! And well done to you, sir!

Such a wonderful portrayal of Trump. Although I think you were a bit too kind.

Very well put.

As a naturalized American, I can tell you that most of us see him for what he is, a conman being used by the local Christo-fascist minority and oligarchs. The culmination of 40 yrs of conservative political strategy to leverage our democratic system’s protection of minorities, the Electoral College, to have their religion take over our secular state. The good news is this is the best they got.

Pardon the mess. We are working to get rid of him; he will not win.

isle Jorgensen You are so right and it is terrifying. He is using the Nazi playbook; using fear as motivation. And there is absolutely no doubt about his thirst for power. “If the lie is big enough and repeated often enough the truth becomes the enemy of the people and the state.” Joseph Goebbels That should be proof enough that history is in grave danger of repeating itself in the worst way imaginable.

This is sowell-written and so true. As a survivor of WW II, and my father being lilled bytge Nazi's, I abhor the fact that he is following Hiter's paybook. He makes the Hispanic population his target and his Republican supporters mostly own the ewsapers or radio or tv stations. In otherwords, our media is compromised. Propaganda reigns, although that word is not used. My dad read and spoke English and tried to spread the word of the man thatcwas a threat to Germany.
He was betrayed and he and two colleagues and a typesetter disappeared on Jan
23rd , 1943 never to be seen again. So, I know what the plan is for the next four years , if he gets in. Too many Americans do not see tgethreat he poses to the democratic Republic of America.

As an American who thinks the man is the antichrist, or at least his demon seed is. I cringe that I live in a country where Anyone supports his racist, violent propaganda. People of modern times wonder how Hitler rose to power, well they are seeing it right now. I am terrified of him winning again and would love to leave the country but its harder than it seems

Americans are supposed to be nicer than we. Otherwise very enjoyable!

Simply brilliant!!! Love it!!! We live in New Jersey and will NEVER understand how so many Americans are deaf, dumb and blind to this miscreant's obvious flaws. Ugh!! Fingers crossed for Nov. 5!!

🫡🫡🌟 🇬🇧 I have never been prouder of my British heritage…Tallyho !

Trump makes Boris Johnson look like a saint

The best I've ever read!

Much much appreciated 👍

!You made my day!

Beautifully written and very much to the point, I think it’s very important that this be sent to the vice president , plus I think we should set up a petition to back up this statement signed by millions of English people to be sent to America before the election , there is no way this bully should be allowed to continue Richard Miller 0417652633 Australia

Bulls eye!

I second Carol Campbell's comments: We need others around the world writing more pieces like this about our cringeworthy embarrassment: The Orange . . . (feel free to fill in the blank) Trump hates being laughed at and made fun of. Thank you so much for this Nate. It makes we "normals" here in the U.S. feel less alone. Who would have thought in 2024 we would be looking to all of you for moral support against this Cult that has completely destroyed our Republican Party and replaced it with Lunatics, headed by the nuttiest of them all. God help us.

Wow, right on. It is so well written. Thanks for the clear, concise explanation of this disgusting person.

Thank you. This is brilliant. I’d like to see it run on a full page of the New York Times like the ad Trump ran making the case for executing the so-called Central Park.
The American media treats Trump like a normal candidate, promoting endless false equivalencies to camouflage their motives for not rejecting him unilaterally as the adjudicated sex offender & convicted felon that he is.

In November, he will be gone like your Boris Johnson. “We’re not going back”. Then we’ll abolish the Electoral College for good. 👍 and maybe help you poor Brits get back into the EU.

This was the perfect article, yes, I mean, bigly. 🍊🤡🩴🩴

Very true and it's also why some Americans dislike Trump. How much of what you wrote is also true of Boris Johnson? Yes, he is smarter but rarely showed that he was.

Reality TV is not reality. It’s make believe.

Thank you, Nate. This embarrassed and fearful American left the U.S. for good in 2017.
Another scary thing: until we abolish the Electoral College, we will continue to be ruled by people who did not win the popular vote. (For more info on this and all things political I heartily recommend watching Dr. Heather Cox Richardson's "Politics Chat" on Tuesday nights. She's calm, brilliant, accessible, and ethical. In her career as a history professor she puts things in perspective so now I can learn a lot (including unpalatable truths) without coming all undone. Good luck to us all.

Thanks, Nate. So very accurate. You nailed what so many of us Americans are feeling and seeing. Two thirds of us are filled with shame and dread. Shame because this piece of human waste was ever elected to represent us. And dread that it could happen again. We’re at a turning point. One that I pray we can steer in the right direction and then repair our antiquated election system so that this can’t happen again. Ever!

We have gone from Felix the Cat to Felix the idiot

Eight years...
I have waited EIGHT years for someone to write this. Ever since that @$$#0/€ shoved other world leaders aside at the NATO summit in 2017, I have waited for someone in Europe to pen ANYTHING to throw #theorangegasbag under the bus! Every journalist and writer in the same world needs to start pelting #thatfucker with articles telling the truth, and also what it means for Europe and the rest of the world. Thank you. The man is a monster and needs to go away. Otherwise, start looking for American expats headed your way...

As an embarrassed American, I'd like to apologize to the world for our feeble-minded Trump cultists. They scare us all unnecessarily and cause us undo stress, worrying about the future of our country and our planet. The cultists are a sad, sheep-like herd of followers who only hear lies on fake Fox news 24/7. The lies are an echo chamber purposely built by lecherous ultra rich men who want to preserve their white male privileged world. The false stories bounce in the echo chamber between the MAGA politicians and fake Fox commentators. MAGA followers drink up the false and misleading information and assimilate the stories into their lives. They imagine the world of border "caravans", of "immigrant crime", of Trump being a smart, charismatic leader. If we close down Fox news, we might be able to save these poor, MAGotes from further embarrassment, but they need some collapse of the politicians as well. The Democratic voters will try to assist the MAGA demise. Let's hope we can do it before the cult herd grows too large.

This is the truth and well written. Bravo Nate.

From inside the war zone, I can tell you that things on the ground are desperate, exhausting, and soul crushing. When MAGA is described as a cult, it is frighteningly accurate.

In Wilmington NC today Mr Trump said the word Kamala correctly numerous times. Proof perfect that he’s mentally sharp. He mastered this challenge in less than a year Most people couldn’t duplicate this.

You're right, but you should've mentioned that he molested a 13 tear year old named Katie with Epstein.

I agree with the comment about being sent by god in the same way god sent the seven plagues to Egypt. He is what a poor man thinks a rich man should be. He's what a stupid man thinks a smart (smaut) man should be. He's what a weak man thinks a strong man is. The nightmare and embarrassment of his political life needs to circle the drain and finally disappear with this next flush.
This article is wonderfully accurate. As trump's complete mental collapse becomes more evident, even his cult members might get a clue.

All trump supporters fall into 3 categories: scared, selfish or stupid.
That's it.
Those of us Americans that are pious, self confident, honorable, responsible, intelligent, educated or cultured totally disassociate with that filthy animal and are embarrassed of his every word. We apologize world.

Frankly, I think he's an embarrassment to my country. How in God's name he spent 4 years in the White house is beyond me.

Trump saves us from filth like this. He is sent by God.

And making us real Americans have to pretend to buy into the corrupt Gay Life Style, when we know without doubt that the omnipotent and all knowing Jesus taught that homosexuality is evil. No doubt about that part of it. He said it.

Can we agree that the heartland of America is sickened by the normalization of fakes and poseurs like the Obamas being thrust upon us as role models, while we have Real Americans like the couple Trump to take us back to a far more idealized era. The Trumps are the Real Americans that Red White and Blue Americans yearn for. Out with the Obamas. In for the Trumps, Real Americans.

Back in the 1950s when racism was overt and enshrined in law, white supremacy forbade white people from honoring black people with honorific titles like Miss or Mister; it was always Sam or Lucy. To heighten the contempt being expressed, the white speaker would deliberately mispronounce the name. We thought those days were gone. But think again. The racist Republican Party has decided to follow their racist leader’s example of mangling the Vice President’s name. This as a means of showing contempt. They even agree on what the mispronunciation is. We’re clearly moving backwards in this country.

Without doubt, Mr. Trump could register his large-heartedness by admitting that though he has repeatedly and relentlessly referred to black public figures as lazy, dumb, and savage, and though he thinks Muslims are straining to destroy us, and that Mexicans and Argentinians are infusing purple blood into our Pure Whiteness, that despite this history of racist enmity, he declares himself the least racist person in the room (look what I’ve done for the nigs), I bet you anything that when Mr Trump has to report to the penitentiary for his period of incarceration for the crimes he has been convicted of will insist - I say INSIST - that he sit in jail alongside a BLM prisoner in order to establish once and for all that Donald J is not the fire breathing hater the mainstream press makes him out to be.

He’s love starved, because he’s an old decrepit man who hasn’t the slightest notion of what love is. He thinks it has to do with impressing people by parading his conquest of the Playmate of the Year. He’s beyond pitiful.

Still, I agree with that sage from the Times Maureen Dowd, who wrote to me that Trump is looking for love. In all the wrong places. He is a pathetic creature who has never been loved. He is excluded from the most powerful force available to man.

I do agree that when it comes to moral character, Trump represents rock bottom.

Reality TV is not reality. It’s make believe.

By “someone,” I mean the voters at the polls. I pray for a peaceful transition of power after what happened in 2020. That’s the kind of horror which had no place in a democracy.

Thou shall not kill. No political violence. Please.

Non-leaders like DT are not created in a vacuum. A people get a government they deserve - and out of the systematic dumbing down of America, lowering bars, and tolerating racism - are born national embarrassments like DT. He’s a narcissistic bully and a demagogue who has mastered the art of talking hate to his MAGA. supporters by constantly telling them that every non-white is their enemy and bad for their country. Like himself, he keeps his voters steeped in alternate reality so they never question his narrative about the “others.” He has no notion of how to be a leader. He brings out the worst in people around him, especially his base. He killed a bipartisan border security bill just so he could make it the proverbial stick with which he could beat the Democrats on the head. I cannot imagine why he was ever deemed a patriot. He’s got no record of public service. He filled the White House with his cronies and family members during his tenure. His staff never lasted beyond a few weeks and many of them are now helping Harris. He’s the laughing stock among world leaders and won’t admit it. He thought he could grab the presidency from an aging Biden with ease. And now the tables are turned on him. He’s furious at being humiliated by a woman of color twenty years his junior. He rambles nonsensically most of the time. He was never cut out to be a dignified statesman who would do his country any credit. Instead, he’s running as a convicted felon. His bag of tricks to fool people is running out. He’s now resorting to laughable conspiracy theories and other “gimmicks” to garner sympathy votes and portray himself a Martyr. This article hits every nail on the head. Jan 6 was the icing on the cake of his disgrace. I cannot imagine how half this country has supported this atrocity from him. What he did was unpardonable. I hope the other half of this country holds him accountable for this treason this year. He has no place in the Oval Office and neither does his appalling running mate. They would destroy this country with their anti-science, anti-women, and anti-immigrant policies. I hope someone stops them.

At the debate, Donald Trump continued to claim “In Springfield, they’re [immigrants] eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of people that live there”. His vicious lies resulted in death threats and violence from his thug supporters on innocent people in Springfield.

That outrageous claim had already been debunked, not only by the authorities in Springfield, but by the originator of the post that started the whole farce, yet Trump demonstrated how incapable he is of telling the truth, and repeated it to the 60 million who watched the debate. Guess who ate it up? His MAGA supporters! As a direct result of Trump’s unhinged comments, innocent people in Springfield have been threatened, property has been destroyed, and Trump continues to go unpunished. He needs to be locked up.

What kind of person could possibly see Trump as presidential material? His deliberate mispronunciation of names is reminiscent of the eight-year-old children I had in my classroom. He is still doing it! Is that a leader of a respected nation? What about that insane right-wing groupie that is currently hanging on his arm instead of his wife? Laura Loomer, the far right hate-speech activist who is as insane as Trump is.

The GOP created this monster, and they have lost any shred of credibility they once had.

Let’s get on the right side of history folks Let’s call the rioters of sixth of Jan. what future generations will see them to be: patriots. Donald Trump, our savior. Honor charismatic vision when it comes around once since the beer hall putsch.

Don’t you have to acknowledge that corrosive racism still flows deeply in the American bloodstream? Otherwise, so heinous a racist as Mr Trump would have been ridiculed and dismissed long ago?

Patriot? Racist? Visionary? Fool? Diplomat or Nazi.

How do you think History will judge Donald Trump?

An excellent summary of Our Man Don! The people who say things like "but what about (fill in bad British person or act here)? so you should just shut up about 'murrica until Great Britain is perfect nyaa nyaa nyaa) are a pernicious problem over here, and presumably elsewhere. We call it "whaddaboutism" and it's mind-numbingly stupid. Full disclosure; I have always been quite the Anglophile. Managed to finally visit in 2021 and my wife and i LOVED your country and the people we met.

The thing about Trump is that he represents the darkest side of the American character. Aggressive, ravenous and cruel. It's what allowed us to treat native peoples the way we did, tolerate and justify slavery and then peonage and terror towards Black Americans, internment camps for Japanese...the list goes on. I love my country and am proud to be an American. But we have always worshipped property, not freedom, and Trump is the clarified, concentrated version of greed. He's also what emerges from a spoiled nation. I'm hoping that as a people we can awake and learn from this nightmare before it's too late.

Spot on, my friend. I’m an American you’d love, by your definitions. I can’t stand this troll clown show of a man. I pray, for us all, that he doesn’t win and goes to jail. With love from across the pond.

Imagine finding out a substantial portion of your neighbors, friends, and family have fully bought into this man. The last 8 years in the US have been extremely disorienting and depressing.

As an American AND a woman in her 60's from New Jersey who grew up listening about Trump family in the area. THIS ARTICLE IS PERFECT ON DESCRIBING HIM. Absolutely spot on.

This analysis of the narcissistic sociopath is spot on. His followers are a cult that need to be told what to do, and whole heartedly believe in his racism and fascism. The wealthy that support him do so not out of respect, but for how they can profit off of him and his policies. I don't know if Britain suffers from celebrities that think they should run for office because they're stars. But we have way too many here that think that by their sheer stardom, they are qualified to hold office. As has been pointed out, this so called "celebrity" is a con-man that has gone bankrupt 6 times - some businessman! While someone else has thrown in the "look in your own backyard" comment, I'm fairly certain that the Brits are aware of their own shortcomings.

Isn't the fact that he's a shallow bully and a nasty piece of work exactly what his supporters like about him? They want someone who will do what, for the rest of us, would be terrible things. If he promised to have migrants machine gunned if they tried to cross the border they'd cheer. If he said he'll open forced labour camps for the homeless and LGBTQ people they'd love him even more. They want a ruthless dictator - it won't be the first time that's been true - anf they know that he's a bit thick but that the real power will lie with the pseudo libertarian thugs - like Musk, Miller, Stone and Bannon (who he'll pardon)- who will do his dirty work.

Youve hit the nail on the head, Mr. WHITE. the man (used lightly) is, for all intents and purposes, A PIG! And the fact that, still, 44% of voters polled, would still vote of him, says a lot for American Politics. The U.S. is full of Germanic attitudes. It appalls me to say that being a German American, but it's true. If i could leave this country, i would. Im ashamed of what it's become. Britain would be my logical destination. But at my age, i might as well just try and trudge on. Trump is a menace to the entire world. To American voters. DON'T LET HIM NEAR THE OVAL OFGICE AGAIN!

German/Scottish is what real Americans are made of. That’s what made us great! Kenyan Americans? When interracial marriage was against the law in most of the states, and when transgressors deserved jail time? That’s where I would like to take you back to.

Remember, he thinks every black woman he has crossed swords with is stupid and lazy He thinks Barack Obama never belonged at Harvard because he is basically restarted. He thinks Kamala Harris is mentally challenged. He believes, in his heart and soul, that black people are lessers, that they are consigned by nature to be a step and a half behind white excellence, and that explains his appeal and his firm hold on white racism which continues, at this late date, to define American culture. It is an unambiguously racist society. Political culture.

It’s simple. A vote for Trump is a vote for old fashioned American racism; a vote for Christianity which translates to White Supremacy; a vote for for a world in which Nathan Woods and Emmitt Till should have been smart enough to know and keep their place. Let’s go back to a time when America was Great. 1953 would be a good starting place.

Elaborating on my last, and then I will shut up. First of all, repeating that I agree entirely with Mr. White’s portrait of Donald Trump. Second of all, there is nothing in what I said which was intended to convey the puerile idea that you've got your own issues, why don't you worry about them and let us worry about ourselves? What happens here in the United States has an outsized impact on the rest of the world and Trump's election will have enormous consequences for people who will have had no opportunity to vote either for him or against him. What I objected to, and still do, is Mr. White’s tone. He presumes to speak, not just for himself, or for like-minded Brits, but for all of Britain. For every subject of the King who, purely as a result of being born British, must necessarily share his view. This is the way he frames his argument. For example, "gentlemen" in Mr. White's view do not punch down, but I suspect there are plenty of people in Britain who punch down regularly and with force, just as there are here. And before I actually do shut up, I would direct Mr. White's attention to a Statista Poll which showed that in the fourth quarter of 2023, 26% of the people polled in Great Britain, his Great Britain, “liked” Donald Trump.

If that’s what some Americans want I say good luck to you.

Discussing the body politic of the UK has nothing at all to do with this brilliant analysis of Trump .. that it makes some citizens jeer in terms of
“ look on your own back yard” is sad commentary on how critical thinking has been stymied in a world where millions can idolise such a tragically and fatally flawed .. not to say dangerous false prophet .

While I agree entirely with this portrait of Donald Trump, I find the tone of upper class British condescension seriously off-putting. "He is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully."  Seriously?  An attitude absent from Britain's public schools?  And from what the Brits refer to as their "Working Class?"  Anyone interested in toxic British bullying should pick up a copy of Bill Buford's extraordinary book on football hooligans, "Among the Thugs."  

As the saying goes you can judge a person by the friends he keeps. Politically his goal has always been to be an autocrat like his friend Putin, he tried to dissolve NATO and it was hoped Zelenskyy was just a comic with a weak democratic view easily brought into alignment with Russia. Putin thought Trump would have had a second term in 2020 where Ukraine could be taken over without resistance and use of military. The election of Biden and will of Ukraine and its leader changed that so Putin’s plan B was to take over by force.

You Brits have enough to worry about in your own back yard...your streets in London ruout are fillwd to Brim with immigrants of another religious cultural persuasion thumping chests and shouting epithets, and insisting on Shariah law, while they rape your daughters and beat up your little sons...why dont you fix first???

THE VICE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO NAIL THIS SELF SERVING ,NO BRAIN WOMANIZING ,EGOMANIAC TRUMP ON THE DEBATE THIS TUSDAY 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 WATCH HIM FUMBLE AND EVADE THE ACTUAL TOPICS AS USUAL!!!!

IF USA WANTS A 36 TIME FELLON AT THE HEAD OF THEIR COUNTRY……THEN THEY ARE AS UNSCRUPULOUS AS TRUMP! IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE SAID A WISE ENGLISHMAN !!!

If anything, Mr Nate White was probably being too kind.

Well said. The man makes my skin crawl. Even his campaign is a scam.

Love this :) Oh boy the Magat Republicans are going to come out swinging, using every vile response they can to protect their cult leader!

I don’t think anyone could have described him more thoroughly and accurately.

The British should worry about their own country and stay there!! They are still pissed they lost the war!! Let’s open your closet and find out what there! How much did the democrats pay you for this BS!!
Law is being created for people like you writing BS!!

The dignified Trump. The spiritual Trump. The magnanimous Trump. The generous Trump. The forgiving Trump. The compassionate Trump. The enlightened Trump. These are familiar expressions. Right?

I’m American. Every word is true. But this leaves out the part about Trump being a useful tool for those who are evil, but not stupid. His crippling inferiority complex makes him a shill for anyone and everyone with a dollar or a compliment. And so go the thirty percent who find his moral bankruptcy “refreshing.”

I am an American, and I wholeheartedly agree with every observation you make here.

Trust me, there are plenty of Yanks like me who regard their red-hatted neighbors with befuddlement and contempt.

Which will bow and uphold a fascist agenda with no shame.

Esp a right wing Supreme Court.

You must stand up for decency. And sanity.

No question, one half of the American electorate favors the Nazi candidate in 2024. Suppose he wins? He might. But the resistance must be ready and able to confront the Nazis during their power years.

I just wish you Brits could knock some sense into that 1/3 of my fellow and sister Americans! Help!!

Sounds like this was written quite a while ago….before England elected Sir Kier Starmer, who is leading England further down the sewer. The author seems very well spoken, and with a very high opinion of himself. I wonder what he would say (given the chance) about your laughing Kamala Harris!

Smells bad too.

Brilliant! It's the inability to laugh or smile that I find most disagreeable.
How can anyone trust a person who never cracks a smile. That crinkling up of the skin around the eyes coupled with a softening of the expression of the lips tells the world "I am open."
He is closed. And has been for decades.

I just cannot come to grips with how radically just ONE MAN has been able to change the entire culture and morality of the best country on earth! Half the country is ready to follow this evil pied piper straight into anarchy!

PERFECT!!!!!!! Thank you. ...and I am glad you brought in Americanism. I hope Americans have the same values. ...I think it only about trying to be a good human being.

Trump is a bad person this is easily assessed and was articulated exactly and extremely well in this article. It is scary that a number of Americans have a desire for evil.

I know this isn't a joke, but boy did I laugh.

Great and witty description of Trump, but a kind of forgiving one of the Brits!

As an American, I want to thank you wholeheartedly for your description of the evil one. He is a disgrace to all right-thinking people here in this country. There is no sin which he has not committed, and he takes pride in having violated the 10 Commandments. He is the face of the Seven Deadly Sins. We, who are not a part of his maga cult, understand what is at stake if a sadist such as he gains the White House again. His wicked manipulations and that of his minions within our government seek to dismantle all that is good about the United States of America. We will not revert to their criminality in order to win the election, but we will rally all Americans with a moral code and compassion for all mankind to vote for the HARRIS/WALZ ticket! This isn't about party, but it is about saving this country and our DEMOCRACY from a narcissistic megalomaniac! May God be with us in this effort!

Best description of Trump I have ever read. I hope every news agency reads it to their viewers today.

Not Trump is the problem! The unsolved problem is that more than 100 million US people follow that guy and think that he should be the leader of USA and the western "culture".

AH personified!

Your summation calls up my take on the MAGA acronym in regard to the world that his acolytes personify. Simple put : Make America Grunt Again !

to focus on the weight of this bloviated ass swaddle is perfectly OK. He is the one who forced the White House doctor to say that he is 6’4” tall and only weighs 234 pounds if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you.

This was so good until you attacked his weight. It's not cool to mock people's bodies, it detracts from your critique of his behaviour.

An excellent summation of Trump. 3words said it all. “Fat white slug”.

Superb! Yes, he’s all of this and worse; and those that support him are just as bad!
Long live King Charles!

Right on target as is John Columbus’s added comment

Perfect!

He is what he is. I think it’s about his supporters who haven’t evolved far enough to even understand The Modern Age.
Are these people still getting around on all fours?

He NAILED IT!!!! SPOT ON!!!

Absolutely excellent article. Unfortunately not one Maga Cult minion will understand one word of it.

People should be aware of the fact that the Orange One likes to call people stupid, but he flunked out of school and has no education.

Even if Mickey Mouse was running against Trump and won, our democratic country would be better off! Trump is a very dangerous man. He is the epitome of evil and must be stopped forever. He is a loser and MUST continue to be a loser!!!

John Columbus sounds like someone that hates democracy and making America strong again!! What did Obama ever do except having no birth certificate or proof of college or university education!! Taking money from Warren Buffet to stop the pipeline being built from Canada!!

Boy are the right wing bots/trolls in full swing on this comment thread.

aolTHIS COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE!!!!! AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO PASS ALONG, IT'S KINDA LONG BUT I'M PASTING IT IN BELOW

Why Voting for Trump is Indefensible: Reason #4
Because his patriotism is as fake and transactional as an NFT monkey.
He hugs our flag while flattering our enemies. He puts on a nice show in public during the national anthem (and commits stochastic terrorism on anyone who doesn’t), while in private he calls our fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers” (this fact has been confirmed multiple times, by multiple sources). He sells “Make America Great Again” merch made in China. He salutes North Korean generals, but verbally assaults our Gold Star families.
He undermined a free and fair election, enlisted fraudulent electors, and inspired an attack on our capitol. While losing every election case, and proving none of his claims in court, he called for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in his efforts to hold onto power.
A few days ago, he described the Medal of Freedom, a ceremonial/civilian honor, that he gave to his biggest donor, as “equivalent” and “much better than” the Medal of Honor, awarded for bravery in combat. “It's actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman.”
He received five draft deferments, four for education (common) and one for a make-believe injury, sending another American off to Vietnam in his stead. In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, he compared vaginas to landmines and called himself “a great and very brave solider” for avoiding STDs. Then he had the gall to disparage actual vets and POWs like John McCain.
Avoiding military service runs in his family. His brothel-owning paternal grandfather fled Germany to avoid conscription, and later had his (German) citizenship revoked when he fled back to Germany to avoid serving in the U.S. The Trump family has been in this country for well over a century and NONE of them have served in wartime or peace. Donald Trump is, in fact, the only president in history who provided ZERO public or military service prior to sitting in Oval Office.
Most former presidents have participated in additional public service after their terms. As far as I can tell, Trump has done nothing of the sort. Instead, he just continued poisoning the well and prolonging the con.
He has always been disrespectful and dishonest, but now he is demented. He’s also a convicted felon. He and his family stole from a children's cancer charity, ran a fraudulent university, and cheated untold numbers of contractors out of their hard earned pay. He quite famously cheats at golf, cheats on his taxes, and cheats on his wives. I would be hard pressed to name someone with less honor.
This is what General John Kelly, his longest serving Chief of Staff, said last year about his former boss. “What can I add that has not already been said?... A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
This is the person you want to lead our country?

That’s Donald Trump., unfortunately he’s darkness is all about himself. 🙏💙💙💙💙we will not go back.

Obama was a dictator and a communist!! He gave billions of dollars to Iran!! He took money from Warren Buffet to stop the pipeline being built from Canada!! He stop the FBI from investigating Hillary Clinton> And the list of things he did to bring America down is endless!!

Describes the deplorable despicable orange man to a tee. Thanks for the read.

Lies all lies!! Spoken like a true Democrat or Liberal socialist dictator!!

Lies all lies!!! Spoken like a Liberal or Democrat socialist dictator!!

Brilliant! I am constantly amazed at how knowledgable the rest of the world is about our government, and it seems that half of us are oblivious.

Could not put it better. He is grotesque.

Totally agree. However, as a EU remainer, it seems to me that a lot of the world were probably wondering much the same about many Brits during the Brexit hellscape. How could a sizeable no of us look up to, believe Boris, Nigel....? Desperation? Humour important but it wont stop the rot. Action, persuasion and voting will.

Trump's mother quoted something like, "What kind of son have I created?" in a Vanity Fair article years ago...

Love this! Spot-on to a Tee and delightful to read.

This article takes us well along the path that will, ultimately, defeat the monster: laughter. The more we laugh, the more enraged he becomes until, finally, hopefully, he self-destructs and we can be rid of him forever. It's also truly remarkable how much he really does resemble Jabba the Hutt.

Priceless! You have nailed him perfectly!!

Thank you for your very British takedown of the hideous Donald John Drumph, his actual surname before his grandfather changed it. We citizens of the United States are puzzled at how this odious maggot was elected and continues to have supporters. One must presume something is wrong with them, also.

Someone who’s known Trump all his life says he’s basically the same person he was at age 6,when he first learned how to lie,cheat, bully, and insult people. For most people that’s just a phase they out grow, but apparently Trump never matured any further.

I'm so reminded of a bumper sticker, from the 60's " AMERICA- LOVE IT or LEAVE IT " never thought i would say it, this demonstrably false narrative about the real economy, the real street, the real efforts being made on behalf of all Americans to do better and turn the tide of Predation by big business, resolve the crises created by big business and the Laissez Faire predation on the middle class by big business after 40 yrs of Neo-Liberalism, w/out ethical constraint or care for the society ravaged by Big Business.. now on a preaching tour to usher in Neo-Fascistic transition to Neo-Feudalism.. w/out a clue inherent in the Magna Carta and simple social grace of Noblesse Oblige.. Lord of the Flies. on steroids.. STOP project 2025 !!!

Well said!! Scary how much support he has…and disappointing!

Exactly. The problem remains here in the US: how to educate (sorry, how to communicate with) the one-third cult-believers.

We’ll said!!

Most excellent writing skills. Well done!
Thank you

There is an unmistakable, illimitable emptiness to Donald Trump. Looking into the abyss indeed.

ON THE MARK! I HAVE NEVER HATED A MAN - ANY MAN - AS MUCH AS I HATE TRUMP. HE’S A LOUSE, A PIECE OF SHIT,
A LIAR - THE LATTER A PARTICULARLY HORRENDOUS CHARACTERISTIC WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT HIM EVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TO THE PRESIDENCY. PLEASE GOD - DO NOT LET HIM WIN THIS ELECTION. HONESTLY, IF HE DOES,
THE FUTURE OF AMERICA WOULD BE IN REAL JEOPARDY.

If Melville's Captain Ahab had his "humanities," it's hard to find any in the former (but we hope not future) Scowler-in-Chief. In this regard, your portrait of the Trumpster, alas, gets it just (W)right. Here's hoping his opponent for the White House Harasses him into the dust-heap of history, not just with a marginal victory but with a landslide. The Germans say that God's mill turns slowly but grinds fine. My wish is that your article will help awaken some of America's Trump followers to the clear and present dangers his re-election would pose for our country and the world. It's time for Trump's comeuppance.

Reynold Ruslan

BRILLIANT assessment! You have Trump to perfection! What scares some of us Americans is how in the world other fellow Americans (or indeed anyone else for that matter) can fail to see through this monstrous joke that has been perpetrated upon us. If you invented a ridiculous parody of a politician, or of a man, or of a mentally unbalanced imposter like Trump, you couldn't have done better than this idiot.

This response from Skip is mind numbing. You would rather have this guy running the country than any normal Democrat. I understand critiquing the Dems but you make the typical wrong accusations that Democrats ruin everything. If that’s so why is this country doing so well as far as employment, living wage, effective social safety net, good education system, long life span, all the things you enjoy that you take for granted, even under Democratic leadership. Blanket statements about how horrible the country is doing while observation shows the opposite. we’re doing well here. If you don’t agree, instead of making empty criticisms give us some concrete facts to back up your statement.

I dont know what you BF see but please take off your blinders ,the dumbacrats have not done anything for our country but spend and give money and how to create a way to kill babies and to put dicks on a woman and pussies on a man

Three cheers! A put-down for the ages. This should be carved in stone and set up on the suitably razed rubble of Mar-a-Lago someday. Damnatio memoriae is too good for this raving monster pretending to be a human being.

This is sheer poetry. I tip my hat to you, sir!

Monica, do NOT try to normalize this beast in any way. He is a one off. Yes, we have had other deeply flawed presidents but Trump sets 5he standard.

The terrible incident at Arlington is just an example of a long, long list of examples of total disrespect for laws, norms, customs and traditions. Inciting an insurrection against the American government; taking and holding top secret documents that have potential monetary value to an enemy let alone national security threats to our country; attempting to pressure a Secretary of state in Georgia to creating fake numbers of votes; saying military people who dies or who were captured are losers and suckers while person is let out of military service due to so called bone spurs; calling out innocent, career poll workers by name and accusing them of fixing votes.......WHO THE HELL DOES THIS?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Americans, I get it that some of you are "angry"..But about what? The concentration of wealth in the hands of someone who seels you bibles, shoes, trading cards????????????????????????????????? What are you thinking?

Yes Monica, we have had some fine Presidents. Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama and Joe Biden come immediately to mind. Bill Clinton balanced our budget for the first time in decades. Sadly, our schools failed to teach Government or Civics for a couple of generations, so there is a segment of uneducated citizens that do not understand how our government works. There are also a number of Americans who don't care - as long as they have their fair share of the take, then their neighbors be damned. The silver spoon crowd, or the "white privileged" tend to simply fail at a form of ethical work in difficult circumstances. If it is hard to do, then have someone else do the heavy lifting. But the worst and most sad of all is the crowd that has failed to find the punch line in life. After all, that is a big part of what this world, our lives and our passions are all about.

Was there ever a president in the USA that was worth voting for. Or leaders worth while at all.

This is a fantastic, honest, and true perspective of that conivted felon, lard ass liar. Republicans had so many off ramps to rid of this guy, but that small base Trump has, (and getting smaller by the day) MAGA cult crapped on the Republican's. So they put party over country all for Trump and for his ignorant, racist, woman hating MAGA cult. It's like the blind Republicans are leading or being led by the blind MAGA Party. That R party is long gone now. Now relpaced by the small TRUMPIAN party. The only way they can even start to crawl back is by again LOSING not only the Presidency, but also lose the Senate and The House. Only then can they earn respect from the USA voters. Trump is only running to stay out of jail. PERIOD! He will lose, and that is not the only thing he deserves. He must pay for his many crimes. What is holding him up through this now is Project 2025. Also an excellent documentary that ties in all the players of Project 2025, and how it was really segregation that was shutdown by the SCOTUS is why they changed it to ANTI ABORTION, aka Pro life so they wouldn't look racist and abortion is just another way they could "Own the libs". This documentary also ties in Trump and the evil biased SCOTUS that we have today. Ties in the Republican party, so called Christians and Christian Nationalism. Find it free to watch on Tubi, or find it on Prime called "BAD FAITH". Everyone, no matter what party they are from, should watch this. ALSO turn on the subtitles to be sure you are hearing what they say. Seriously Trump visited with this VERY RACIST creep, David Duke a racist, associated with KKK , ALL in this documentary. BTW, my in-laws live in the UK, and shares how my husband and I can not stand Trump! *waves from Portland, Oregon *

100% and truly a sad representation. God help us all!

Sadly, too many of us here in the US are too lazy or too bigoted to look at the corrupt, unethical sack of excrement to recognize what an oxygen stealing waste of skin the bloated troll in fact is 😢

Yawn

What Bull crap 🥷

If Trump had a brain it would be lonely. Thank goodness I do not live in the U.S. anymore.

Every time I see his face or hear his voice, I feel nauseous!!!!!!!!!!

American and a great description of Trump thank you. If only people voted for character and integrity rather than policy. The few people that I know worth talking to that are secretly going to vote for him are doing so to preserve wealth, discourage unwanted immigration and decrease taxes and are somehow willing to look past all else in order to do so.

Yes. And no. As an American who loathes Trump and everything about him, I was surprised to visit London during his presidency and find British people praising him to me. Not all of you, by a long shot, but enough of you to capture my attention. Trump is everything you say, but you can find someone like him in every country, and find people willing to follow him. Yes, everyone, despise him as he so richly deserves. But while you're watching, learn. Your own nation is not, sadly, immune.

Trump is scared to death of Harris. She has class Trump has NEVER had any

I am an American. You are spot on with this description of Donald Trump.
I am praying that there are enough Americans with some sense that will vote him OUT!
He should have never been president to begin with.

To the Americans who ask who cares what other countries think. If Trump get back in to power it will not only effect the US but the whole world. His policies on Climate change alone spell disaster for the planet. Let alone what will happen to the global economy.

SPOT ON!!!!

The way I see it...... His Bone Spures are in his brain.... It explains all.....

Your article should be read by every Trup follower. You described the orange man exactly. Will share it on Facebook.

Great writing & observations . An alternative title: Why do decent people who care for others anywhere in the world not like Trump ?

What a brilliant insight into the most flawed, vile, ignorant man on the planet!
And of course, the sycophant MAGA cult think we, outside of the USA, have no right to voice an opinion...
However, trump being a threat to democracy not only in the USA but the entire world, gives us EVERY RIGHT to be wary of this racist, fascist autocrat!
Please America, VOTE DEMOCRACY OVER AUTOCRACY in Nov 2024!💙🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇺🇲💙

Who in America, who cares what the Brits think of Trump ? Perhaps the Brits need to solve their own immigrant problems before they are over run ?

This is rich considering the British Empire has been the root cause for 90% of the modern world’s problem. That said, Delusional Donald is freaking idiot and con-man.

You have to understand the mentality of cults to understand MAGA Trump followers.

Unfortunately, he believes what he says even when he said the opposite 30 seconds before. The Orange Infant doesn't recognize that he is the stooge for the extreme right wing of the Republican party, evangelical Christians and the neo-Nazi militias that infest most states. Like Regan who had dementia before he was nominated and Bush Light, he has their support because they can make him electable not because he is erudite. Their nearly 50 year attacks on education have left a significant portion of Americans without critical thinking, understanding of civic, or our history: that why he has the support of 50% of the population.

Truer words have never been spoken. He is a blight on humanity.

I agree with Mary Trump; he has not 1 redeeming quality.

I am 1/4 English. Is that why I saw through the guy way back when he was a TV star? Oh wait! The German, Croatian and Bohemian in me can’t stand him, either.

Trump is one despicable step below a bully, he is a COWARD
and no one, British or other can accept or forgive a coward, unless he/she is one

in 2016 a day after Trump was elected. Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show had a great joke.
“ a man was in a car accident a few years ago and he had amnesia He finally came out of it and it happened to be a day after the elections. of course he want to know if he miss anything in last couple of years so his friend put his arms around him and said you’re not gonna believe what happened”

I don’t remember anything. Did I miss something? His friend says to him you’re not gonna believe what happened”

A brilliant summation of the man! He’s a veritable cornucopia of human flaws and frailties and a fat piece of shit to boot.

Many of us Americans also cannot fathom why our fellow citizens follow him into the hubris that he is.

I must have British blood! Agree 100% with the British take on him and baffled and mortified by those Americans who like him.

I wonder what the residue would resemble after Trump emerges from the sauna, and all of the brick dust has melted, all the crayon dissolved? Would it be something even remotely human?

But there is truly a ray of sunshine coming. Trump is on the road to getting the best ass whooping of his entire waste of a life...to a woman...a black woman no less (half Indian)! What could possibly be sweeter?

This American dislikes how Trump conducts himself. He has not served our country well ( my gosh he told ppl to drink bleach to cure COVID). He tried to undermine democracy on Jan. 6 and made us the laughing stock of the world. Many Americans are also befuddled by our countrymen who, after all the lies, cheating, convictions, impeachments, bigotry, scandals and poor governance and Project 2025, still support him.

Whether or not you like Trump, that was a
beautifully written article. Well done. Also being an American I can say “spot on”. As to why 1/3 of the people like him - look to Lenny Swift’s comment.

To most of the world, this is good description of a typical white man and most women.
There are a billion more in EU, US, ZA and S. America.

So true, & "wolfie" is another Trumpist denialist ! Just because a person lives, & works in another country, doesnt mean they dont see, & listen to Trumps endless moaning, whinging & utter nonsense.... the guy is an oxygen thief, who cares about no-one but himself....

Nothing penned by a Brit about US politics should count. The UK is a disaster. Your focus as a journalist (or whatever you call yourself) should be about what’s happening in your own disaster of a country.

Truly I couldn't describe this megalomaniac any better myself. I particularly like the last part of the last paragraph:

"he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump."

So spot on

Perfect description. However you left out an important point to me....he walked IN FRONT of the Queen. How crass was that? I cringed when I saw that and I am an American. I know better and he should have known too. But he is a disgusting idiot.

One word describes this creature - Crazy.

As an American, who has actually been aware of his skeezy attempts to make himself noticed since 1980, I whole-heartedly agree with the assessment. Completely accurate. I'm embarrassed and frustrated that he has been elevated to a position of power in this country, causing an uptic in right wing activity here and around the world. History has shown that is never a good occurrence. He is reprehensible and ALWAYS has been. It's long past time to STOP giving him a platform and I for one, would love to no longer see his gross face all over every media site.

We can all agree: That after years of enduring the fake intimacy of the fake Obamas, it is liberating to welcome the real thing. The love we can all feel between the Trumps, Donald and Malania. Real people Real Americans.

Oh God , a perfect description of this maniac.

Bullseye.

Brilliant! Thank you.

What a great article! Hopefully in November we'll send this troll away to his Florida mansion as he awaits his first of several jail terms.

The sad thing is that we still brought Kamala to face him in this election, giving reluctant supporters of Trump a perfect excuse to stay with him. We should have brought a white Southerner with integrity and intelligence. This may sound stupid and crude but I hate to say this but that’s what we should have done to save the republic .
Now God help us.

As a American with a British father, Spot On description of that lowlife!

Bravo and gratitude from this embarrassed American.

What is most worrisome are those who are deeply commited to him say that he "has good policies"and that he's a "good businessman" and also finally say, "Oh..you don't have to sleep with him". @#%# GAG....GAG... GAG. I am sorry to ruin this line here but my resolution is "Give me liberty (from Trump) ... or give me death".

Nate, are you married? LOL This is beautiful. Unfortunately, the red hats that follow my FB page (shared the article) won't understand a single word and since FAUX nooz would never mention this literary masterpiece - they will never know.

Maybe, I can get some of the lizard people I know to read it and they can share it with their people on their home planet and when it is their turn to take over a corporate big wig or, politician - they will remember your words.

tRUMP is a battering ram. With no moral compass, no conscience holding him back… he is the perfect tool for the puppeteers who propel him forward.

You don’t have to be a political scientist to know the buffoon Donald J. Trump is not a presidential material. The article illustrates Trump very well in every aspects of politics.

I am very aligned with President Biden and Steve Kerr, two titans for decency and sportsmanship. I believe decency will prevail. I think racism and fascism will be repudiated this cycle. But they remain a threat. We should be vigilant.

I watched "Death of a Salesman" recently for the first time, and was struck by the similarity of Willy Loman's rants to Trump's rants. And the amazing emptiness they both seem to share.

Where are the cult defenders in the comments?

I have never heard Trump so accurately described. He is a man with no redeeming qualities at all....none. The ones that follow and worship him are the product of decades of education defunding in America or frustrated racists that finally have permision to show the world the worst version of themselves. I cannot even imagine another 4 years of this monster and his constant chaos

This totally sums him up to a T….. the meaning of Trump!

The missing word below is 'training'...

Important never to forget that half the electorate in every idiocracy are of below average intelligence. If they did not vote electoral outcomes would be very different: there would be no President Trumps, no Brexits. The sad truth that universal suffrage does not work. It never has. Instead of being led by the best and brightest, 'democracy' propels fools into goverment, the mediocre. Easy to resolve: strict selection with IQ tests and vigorous . to weed out the nitwits, like Trump, to end the chaos.

How about a vote for decency and sanity folks? That would be for the Vice President and Coach Walz.

Sooo Very True- D.T. Is An Embarrassment To Our Country- He Really Only Cares About Himself‼️Please Vote Blue💙Everyone For The Sake Of Our Democracy‼️🇺🇸👍👍🙏

He is a clown, the scary one in the gory horror movies. Frankenstein was a tragic figure, intelligent, sentient, well intentioned and misunderstood because of his appearance. The Modern Prometheus was how the Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley, subtitled her novel and the implications of such nomination are many. But the American Trump hasn’t a shred of this Greek antihero’s traits; rather, he is more in the mold of Moros or perhaps the orphan child of Koalemos and Apate. Suffice to say in his delusional mind he is THE all powerful overlord of the MAGA with godlike power to create his alternate reality built on alternative truths and then impose it on the universe. Ugh, Everyone please rid the land of this blight before we all perish - VOTE.

What an astounding description of a creature that you can hardly call human. From start to finish the text is accurate to the letter. How the MAGAS don’t see this is unbelievably disheartening .

A an American, this article is spot on target! This creature has NO soul. Nothing, no humanity.

Accurately described, why on earth are there so many inept people that do not see him for what he is. He is an ugly monster.

Beautifully stated and so true! Thank you so much for your wonderful and truthful article.

Great article. We all should thank him for exposing the truth about one thing. That is none of us realized how many IDIOTS are in this world. We would continued to believe that no one would ever stoop this low! Boy he sure changed my mind about that!!

A Shakespeare of s..t……..classic!!!
Llewelyn ( Wales UK )

And don’t forget he dodged military service due to bone spurs? Being a bonehead, likely they were in his teeny weeny brain!

Nailed it!
Trump is such an embarrassment.

This is one of the best, most truthful and honest piece of writing - unfortunately it makes me sad because there is a very high likelihood that that this sick twisted Frankenstein is going to become president again and if not, I fear a repeat of the last dummy spit post election. What a sad reflection on Americans that they see this man as the second coming of Christ. What a pitiful country America has become.

This piece of writing could invite World War111

This piece of writing could cause World War 111.

I so connected to this. This British Man has it!! Thanks for sharing. This is Doris the peeper!

Thank you everyone. Your comments are so very good. It is good to know that you are out there and that you sound so smart. I was beginning to fear that America had run amuck. It does still truly amaze me that 49% are still ready to vote for him. Scary and shameful.
Thank You Nate and Thank you Britain for your insights, values and support.
And THANK YOU John for sharing it with us.

The BEST description of him I’ve ever read or seen. Thank you!!!

I first knew this person when I worked at a firm in NYC who did business with him at Trump Tower on 5th Ave. He embodies all the personality traits of a spoiled child that is not able to share or accept responsibility. Believe what he has published in his 2525 Published Plan for his 2nd term as President. Even if HE does not survive, those who support him will carry on his vision of leadership. Another term of this philosophy could be the end of the USA Republic embodiment of DEMOCRACY! As a voter do you want to take that risk?

So totally accurate and witty!!!
from an American in the 2/3 of the population. Trump is everything you said

Rarely have I read a wittier commentary on a non witty subject. Thank you for putting his lack of attributes so succinctly and for providing us with some good chuckles.

I’ve said each and every comment separately at different times but never out loud hem all together with a smile and a wordy !

Very well said! And that stupid one third of the population is a sore embarrassment to the other two thirds!

"He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege" ... Spot on! As an American, I still cannot understand how he attracts so much American support. Have I misjudged such a large swath of the American populous? It is hard to accept - but, despite their belief in the opposite, facts are facts. And this makes them truly deplorable!

Bravo: a brilliant articulation of the painfully obvious. May I add that he's a bulbous, chemically-dyed magnet for stupidity, the Rorschach inkblot that identifies moral depravity and insensitivity. Credit the American school system for breeding them, and the Republican party for mastering the art of getting people to vote against self-interest.

Excellent!

Speaking as a sad & embarrassed American citizen, I can only agree 100% with this assessment of our former (and hopefully never again) President. Being a crude uncouth denizen of our wild country, I've only ever used four-letter words to describe this creep.

Best description of trump I've ever read. It's a mystery he has any followers but he does. This says more about them than unfortunately him.

Standing in the need of prayer.

Perfection! Like standing in front of a Ruben; soft pastels and vibrant hues - doesn’t need a brush stroke more. The ethereal qualities of English expression in magnificent display. Embodies the very essence of wit, irony, and humour.

Most Americans feel the same way about this twat, and remain in disbelief that after all of this time and insult, so many support him. His sinking ship will soon be below the surface. May he rest in prison.

Great article and so true. I just don't understand why so many believe in him. He is a very dangerous man He scares me. America will be in deep trouble if he wins.

Spot on!

Well written. Like the sales job given to the poor southerners before the US Civil War and in Germany before WW 2, people will follow a leader that makes them feel they are better than someone else, even if their own lot in life is pretty dismal. The need to be better than others, to be free of the usual rules, and the willingness to be blind to the hate being promoted is very strong and dangerous.

Totally accurate. Well done. Wish I were so articulate

Well said and 100% true. Intelligent thinking Americans must channel their energies into making sure that this person (if he is even that) is not elected to the most important office in the land again. I urge each and every one of us to reach out to our friends and colleagues to tell them this and to urge them to deny this man the privilege of being President of the United States again. Once was a tragedy, twice would be some word worse than a tragedy.

He's Benedict Donald.

Or is he Humpty-Trumpty?

Hate to stoop to name-calling, but it's kinda fun to play his game just once . . .

A well written, very truthful description of a present candidate running to be elected President of the United States of America

By November 6, 2024 let us hope his name will only be spoken as a has been

You nailed every disgusting trait of Trumps. The people that support him are either as stupid as him, and he is excellent at selling snake oil, or they are wealthy and somehow believe he will save them taxes and preserve their millions and billions. What a sad state of affairs for America, my home. I could cry . If he wins, our country is lost to a sick, demented, cruel authoritarian. M people wake up and see this man for who he is - you forgot narcissist ! WAKE UP America!

Brilliant. Perfect. Well Said. It seems Hitler is back and stupider, uglier, and more vile than ever. And like old adolph, he will go after and destroy all his supporters first. But they are too dumb to get this. Only a loser supports that POS

Hmmmmmm Yeah!!!

David White’s piece gives the relief of validation. As a woman born and raised in the USA I have been horrified at the rise of this superficial beast. The way people who support him defend him as a warrior for decency is disorienting. Trolling libs is their sole purpose. On a positive note, it means that a liberal view is seen as the dominant view.

After reading your piece on the petty prince of NO, if he gets elected i'm not moving to Canada, I'm moving to England.

His followers, as stated, want to feel like they belong. This is no great effort nor reach for them, merely having to reach down to below the soles of their shoes. I really like the comment made that the Grand Old Party is no longer grand, just old and the appellation fits: TP with the mental image of the other meaning of TP …

Absolutely BRILLIANT! This perfectly illustrates in words everything I have felt for years regarding Donald Trump. My brow automatically furrows at the sight of him and my stomach automatically flips with nausea. He is so disgusting to look at and absolutely abhorrent to have to listen to. I read this article nodding my head and exclaiming out loud in accordance, sometimes even laughing out loud with a hearty guffaw. Thank you, Nate White, for making my day!

Perfect description!!!! He's lower than pond scum in my eyes!! God help us if he gets elected! I know he will NOT accept the election results when he loses, God help us!! We American's MUST ALL vote as if our lives depended on it, because they DO!!

Now add convicted felon, fraud, and sexual assaulter of women.
GOP no longer Grand. Now Trump Party (TP)

A masterclass in truthful invective. Mobilising the English language and sending it to war. All while praying for the twilight of the gobs.

Eve Stafford's comment#2 is exactly what I have observed amongst those that I know of as Trump supporters.
"Trump followers crave to BELONG to something bigger than their small lives - belonging to the Trump cult is big for them.
It makes them feel heard!"

You nailed him!! But what to do??

#1.
I said to an esteemed psychologist I know that Trump is a classic Narcissist of the Grandiose type. He corrected me - Trump is a Malevolent Narcissist, he said - meaning he doesn't just want to win, he wants to make the other suffer.
#2.
Trump followers crave to BELONG to something bigger that their small lives - belonging to the Trump cult is big for them.
It makes them feel heard!

This is a brilliant arrival. The best description of who & what Trump is. Nobody could have said it better. It describes in detail all the disgusting pieces of Trumps makeup. Expresses EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!! BRAVO to Nate White, magnificent writing . Thank you

100% & it’s hard to believe his Party still goes along with supporting him

So true!!!! I cannot believe he has followers. God help us if he gets elected.

Laughed out loud...the best!
Like you Nate, I continue to be baffled by how somewhat normal regular even educated voters can continue to support this soulless slug of a human. You clarified that question for me. Again, thank you for the belly laughs!

I became aware of Trump when he built a casino and named it after a magnificent temple. I recognized him for a grifter, a bully, and a man with no taste. He is much like his gold-plated toilet, crass, cheesy, and devoid of redeeming features. I thank the author for his accurate portrayal.

To Nate White I send grateful thanks. I am a weary American and am so pleased that
Mr. White not only shares his splendid writing with his American cousins, but has also described the disaster of Donald Trump with precision. Of all the ink spilled about this creature, Mr. White’s description wins my personal gold medal.

So so true! I have no idea why people say he is smart or anything good about him but I'm happy there are many who agree. A lot.

A+ for description of Agent Orange
He is actually worse than that

Absolutly nailed it.

Sooo.. true!

Hunh. I guess I'm British not American, because I cosign everything you wrote!

Haha. Well put. I would say that "Kung Flu" was funny though predictably inappropriate. Our Pew Research, solid fellows, show that only about 46% of our GOP are true Trumpers, so that's quite a bit fewer than a third of the country, as Republicans are the smaller party. Most of the rest of his votes are against whomever else ... repellent to be sure, but not the same thing.

Simply brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

Well said. Thank God people like Trump are small in number in America. Thank you for your writing.

From a New Yorker who has long endured this petty, corrupt, blowhard, I can only hope he is banished from political power in November. A horrible, psychopathic loser. How unaware can you be when he says he is being persecuted by the justice system. Shows he still hasn’t owned his own illegal behavior.

I wish I could write like this guy. Amazing.

So many perfect one-liners here. Most of us in the U.S. soooo agree with this and are baffled by those who don’t.

This is a perfect description of the orange buffoon.

OMG, captured the entire package with complete accuracy.

Your article is articulate, brilliant, right on target, so humerous. I'm still laughing. 😂

Nailed it with a sledgehammer!!

Right on! The best article written describing the Donald! Thank you for this!!

OMG you nailed it. Shakespeare of shit!😂😂😂 Thank you!!

If only we had an Obama-like response to the people backing Trump. People are hurting. People are angry. Trump channels that rage & discontent. To address the people directly is what American politics is all about. I am weary with the factionalism. I do appreciate Walz’s homespun directness.

I LOVE YOU Nate White. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Now if only the member states of the EU and that little island in the Baltic sea could realize that their version of Trump is way closer than anybody thinks. We would be much better off pointing to the other side of the pond. I am deeply concerned about our version in Germany. Especially as his last name starts with H.

Sir, THANK YOU, for this. Well written, and you describe Trump perfectly!

Please don't think all Americans approve of him, and his antics; we don't. Those of us, with common sense, and decency greatly fear what life will be like, in the US, if he is elected to another term, as President!

Love and adore the "Shakespeare of shit." In 2016 I was in shock, and refused to take down my Hilary signs for months. In 2020 I was as happy as happy gets, thrilled with the young folk who helped us diehard liberals prevail. Now, I am beginning to have hope, and joy. I see Harris and Walz having so much fun, and enjoying meeting voters and the energy is unbelievable. I am crossing my fingers and my toes, because I do not pray.

He should be yesterday’s news! Just like spoiled milk, he’s gotta go!!!

A President of the USA doesn’t need to be a person I like but one that has business sense, strength, power and resonates with making America GREAT!

His lemming followers worship him because he gives rein to their worst prejudices and behaviors. His existence endorses theirs.

Perfection! As we Americans say “you nailed it”. I can’t believe almost half of America believes in him or are so racist that they would rather vote for this Twat than not vote at all. If by chance wins, and dear Lord, I pray not, I’ll be hopping the pond and beg to live amongst the our wonderful British friends.

Brilliant analysis of him! As an American citizen I am embarrassed for our country and extremely sad for the followers of him. I never realized how many illiterate and incompetent individuals were a part of America. It just blows my mind that anyone could find him competent to run a country. Scares me to death to be honest.

Perfection!
Recently visited the Cotswold’s and was nicely accosted by an English couple who said “You’re an American! What do you think of Trump?” Once I responded with a thumbs down, boy did they unload. “Think of the rest of the world” they pleaded. I literally asked them to pray for America. I hope that couple along with most every other sensible thinking person is feeling a bit more hopeful as things do seem to be looking up.

God Speed Nate White!
We folks from the USA’s Pacific Northwest region, thank you for your terse, yet uncannily accurate description of DJT (or Orange Jesus as some call him.)

I for one choose to look at this from Trumps perspective or in other words, a “childish approach”. Therefore, let me start as Trump might, by stealing from 1980’s author Robert Fulghum:
“Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Trump I Learned in Kindergarten:”
Top Ten:
*Young vs. Old
*Past vs. Tomorrow
*Happy vs. Angry
*Honest vs. Dishonest
*Law Abiding vs. Convicted Felon, Financial Fraud/Cheater & Rapist
*Coherent vs. Confused
*Public Servant vs. Selfish, Narcissistic, Pariah
*Intelligent vs. Demented, Delusional, Moron
*Extremely Competent vs. Incompetent and TRULY Unfit for Office
And last but not least…
*GOOD vs. EVIL and we must include PETTY and CRUEL

This observation was inspired from a comment made on August 13th 2024 by Donny Deutsch on Nicole Wallace’s MSNBC show “Deadline Whitehouse”.

President Harris, do not enter into Trump’s sewer. He is masterful there - been there all of his life. Talk economics and climate change, equality for all. That will get you elected. But if you sink to his level of lying and name calling (4th grade level), then you are doomed. He owns the sewer. Let him have it. Be mature. Talk sense.

Cleverly and truthfully written. Please, God: this upcoming US election, don’t save the Wannabe King.

This was written in 2020? I could have sworn I smelled fresh ink! Trump 2024, has a bit more anger and a dose of dementia!

I would like to take a moment here to mention that this original opinion piece was posted on April 24, 2020. The 7,000+ comments began at that time, over four years ago. It’s still true today, except Trump is so much worse now than he was then. Even FOX News is recognizing his rapid decline.

Very well written we would all like to send him away on a one way ticket

Please remember that most of us over here agree with you. He is a disaster happening to our country, and we're horrified by the people who support him.

This is perfect.

LOL looks like the Trump Trolls didnt appreciate the honest and graphic depiction of their Massiah...Oh well, you see that he told them what they wanted to hear and they are hooked; sad really but c'est la vie. I personally think you got that post 120% correct and well done !!!!

Well thought out and expressed! Best from the Brits!

Oh and you Brits are just doing swimmingly. God help you as sink into the abyss choking on your tea and crumpets. Trump will cover your pathetic arses better than Kamala. Pray for Trump after you wipe the smirks off your feces faces

Fantastic description!

From an American who despises the twat! I say right on brother, Nate White. You summed up beautifully what many of us feel!

Now, write with the same intensity, an essay on the Border Czar, Kamala Queen of Word Salad. She is much easier to toss.

All the things I think but could never articulate created in such a sterling, profound way. Thank you for writing what I have thinking since I laughed out loud when I first heard that Trump had the gall to run for president!

To Z: He says he will do a lot of things he never does.

Doc- Here are a few policies Trump will implement if he becomes the next President. I haven't seen or heard any policies Harris will be doing. She is way over her head.
Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
FIRST, propose a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.
SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce the federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health).
THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.
FOURTH, a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.
FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

Seven actions to protect American workers:

FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205.
SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
THIRD, I will direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately.
FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.
SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure.

Five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.
SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.
THIRD, cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
FOURTH, begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.
FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered “extreme vetting.”[1]
”
—President Donald Trump[2]
In the contract, Trump also said that he would "work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration":

“
Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act
An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35% to 15%, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10% rate.
End the Offshoring Act
Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy and Infrastructure Act
Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice and Education Opportunity Act
Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends Common Core and brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and makes two- and four year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act
Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act
Allows Americans to deduct childcare and eldercare from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services and creates tax-free dependent care savings accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act
Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act
Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a task force on violent crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act
Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values.
Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act
Enacts new ethics reforms to drain the swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.[1]

John Cleese should read this at the Democratic convention

Never have I laughed out loud before my coffee. I laugh in despair at how brilliant this word feast is. Trump the troll with his minion Musk is going to run and ruin my beloved country

Georgia

An incredibly accurate regurgitation of this crass individual. Praying he doesn’t slither into the Oval Office again or the USA and its democracy are doomed. I was born in England. I will swim back if “it” gets re-elected!

You said it perfectly. You didn’t however mention the fake tan and orange hair - both badly executed

A wonderful and insightful article that really spells out the corrupt orange felon that is trying to take over our country and destroy democracy. Well done, well written and only hope more people read this and it opens their eyes to what a horrible and corrupt individual he really is.

So poetically perfect!

THANK YOU for this perfect summation-- a Shakespeare of Shit made me chuckle
but until we are way far ahead in the polls I won't laugh, only tremble.

Brilliant indeed!

Brilliant!!!!

Has everyone lost sight of the fact that TOG (the orange guy) is a convicted felony on 34 counts and he is accused of over 90 more. With that record he would not be allowed to join our armed forces, any branch, and yet he is running to be the commander in chief of the military. I am thinking of becoming a psychiatrist with almost half the US voting population having lost their minds it could be a very lucrative profession.
..

Hey Z, what Trump policies are you referring to: tax cuts for the very wealthy? Using bleach to fight COVID? Separating parents from their children? Stacking the Supreme Court to overturn Roe? Hummmm, having trouble thinking of one. Here’s one, Trump can lie better than anyone . I hope you can afford some gas soon. Maybe drive to a place where there is clean air and clean water, oh wait I think Trump is a denier. Good luck with that.

Well done sir !! You have nailed grump to a barn door and despite your observances still missed hindreds of points that further represents his reprehensibleness !!

I await your 2nd chapter !

Skeptic - cost of living is controlled by energy. Higher energy the higher the cost of living and products. Lower energy cost means lower cost to you and lower or no inflation. when Biden came to power (wasn't't really running anything because of his mental health) he cut drilling which brought energy cost up. It's simple economics. True- price of gas varies from state to state - but overall cost is up. Biden has been out of commission for years but know one wants to admit it. Now we have a new candidate that has done nothing for this country and is flip flopping her policies. Again - I don't like Trump's personality, but his polices were good for this country. I think people hate Trump so much that they just vote for anyone else without looking at their policies. Kamala has been avoiding questions and interviews about what she believes in and what policies she wants to implement. She has been far left and very radical in the past and now she is trying to back step.

Best description of Trump ever: A Jabba the Hutt of privilege

Thank you. This is as spot on as any article I have read about him.
Hopefully, Americans will do the right thing in November. Our Democracy depends on it.

As an American who has hated Trump for decades I find your article spot on.

All (almost) all of us kinda hate him. I’m speaking as an American.

I agree , perfect description! We have to get rid of him!

Thank you from Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This is so beautifully said. Too bad Don-Old Grump is incapable of appreciating it.

It's actually LESS than a third of Americans, I Never see Trump Supporters! I live in Las Vegas and I swear to God I never see them or they hide! I know they exist because some of the people that I knew were gaga over him but my Facebook feed cleared out by 2018 of any Trump Supporters and I am blessed to have my close family see things NOT like Trump! Also a lot of people who support Trump hate him too! They support him because he is financially good for them, either they make their money by advocating for him or they really want the tax cuts that he gave away and promises them. one in every 15 Americans are Millionaires, so a lot of people feel like they are part of the 1% and the exclusivity of Trump is like other lures for the pseudo-wealthy, they think it's part of the territory of being rich, to be crass and to look down on the poor and the ones who are the most vulnerable! This country has a dual personality, one side is the good American side, the glass is half full and "the send us your weary" side, but the other side thinks our shit don't stink, that side says we need immigration to do the jobs that are beneath us but that's all! That side says money talks and it admires corruption for corruption's sake!

Trump is an embarrassment. I was truly embarrassed for this country when he was elected and am still embarrassed as an American that he is even running again knowing how horrible of a human being he is. Trump is the definition of Bully, definition of The Ugly American. We are better than this. We deserve better than him, a decaying man-child who's been getting away with crimes all of his life and seems to find every way possible to squeeze through the loopholes like a cockroach that's too fast to step on. I am sick and tired of listening to his hatred spewing from his face day in and day out. I long for the days when we no longer have to hear him or see him and this country can begin to heal its giant gaping wound it of separation caused by this ONE man.

Jim Burke: So you won’t be voting Republican I take it?
I guess you missed the heading: British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read

So you won’t be voting Republican I take it?

Nailed it. Best description ever!

Z Cost of living, and prices, are controlled, as far as I have been able to find out, by corporations and greed of the very wealthy and taxes by state. The cost of fuel, for exaample, can vary a great deal depennd on where it is purchased. And, my life is better under the adminstration of someone who is concerned about most of us vs. just himself. Do your homework, think critically and not just repeat what you hear.

Z is a troll and must be pro tRump by his comments. Your guy will and is a loser
He did nothing for the American people except the uber rich. Murder was higher under him. Our respect in the world was much less. Biden/Harris have gotten our respect back in the world. Higher prices thanks to corporate gouging. Look at their revord profits. Z needs to go back under the rock he is living under

BRAVO-WELL SAID. I completely agree. The RePutinan Party (cult) is full of angry, blasphemous, bullying, childish, desperate, dysfunctional, manipulating, money-hungry, power-obsessed, vicious, vile, whiny liars and traitors; led by the droopy poopy diaper wearing orange LYING whiner-in-chief himself. They constantly spit out fear, hate, misogyny, negativity, racism, vengeance, venom, and violence. They live in a world of the utmost hypocrisy. They sell their souls to the highest bidder (foreign & domestic) every damn day. They offer NO solutions to the country's issues whatsoever, only FAKE promises to a select few. Their leader is stuck in a loop of the past. They seem to forget that we came through a 100 year once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and it takes time to come back from something as devastating as that. But God bless President Biden & VP Harris because they've done a hell of a job working toward getting us back on track from that! Is there still work to be done? Of course. We the People understand that policies can be improved upon. The economy can be improved upon. The border and immigration can be improved upon. Healthcare can be improved upon. Wages can be improved upon, and so on. BUT, how are we supposed to improve upon a man baby who is sliding more and more into some kind of serious mental decline, with a group of followers who want to strip people of their basic human rights and then tear the country we love completely apart in order to achieve a bat-shit crazy goal of creating some kind of Stepford-like, fascist, dystopian and dangerous nightmare of a country in its place? WE VOTE THEM OUT! That's how. People are sick and tired of their weird embarrassing drama, their nasty divisiveness, their kissing the asses of the uber wealthy and ignoring the needs of the everyday average person just trying to have a decent life. He might as well get ready for it because he is going to LOSE in November (AGAIN)! And as far as their constant doom and gloom whiny attitudes go, well... they can piss off because WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!!!

Donald is all that and more. He was able to identify every open hole in our democracy that a criminal could squeeze his way into (a la the white slug). We are now aware of where the next criminal politician will try to infiltrate our government to steal power and money. Also we are now more aware of outside non-democratic governments’ ways to bribe our politicians and citizens, and thus create traitors to Constitution. I believe Harris/Walz will try to overturn Citizens United to remove money from our politics.

Z- My only question to this board - Has your life changed for the better or worse since Biden was elected. Is food cheaper, gas cheaper, inflation lower, border better now, International relations better (Iran and Israel about to go to war)? I'm not talking about your personal feelings, rather your cost living.

Thank you! I didn’t need this article to feel vindicated in my opinion of the GOP and their so called leader, but you helped me to phrase it in an artful manner. Bravo Sir!

There is, however, something to Trump's credit that should be recognized: he truly is the best at something. He is the best at being the worst.
He is the best at being the worst on so many scales, more scales than anyone else.

And in sharing his bigly quality of being best at being the worst, he is a great exemplar for the third or so of our population here in the USA who also seem to aspire at being the worst they can be. Trump inspires them and he gives them permission and encouragement to be their own disgusting selves. They don't love Trump – nobody does, not even Trump himself. They do love, with greed, any and all validation they can perceive for their rudest, crudest, nastiest inclinations and proclivities and for the full expression thereof. In other words they are using him, just as he has been using them. They have a deadly symbiotic relationship that is totally opportunistic and transactional.

Hidden within Trump and his diehard follower-supporters, even while being dramatically and disgustingly exposed outwardly, is the fact they are all suffering from a severe or total lack of heart-quality development. They are entirely inspired, motivated and guided by the mind-games they play. And they all want to play for keeps and play rough to win at any cost, even the cost of their souls.

A mind can choose to believe and act on anything it might become attached to. And a mind can justify for itself anything it might have become attached to. Therefore, Trump and his supporters are unable to see anything wrong or inappropriate with anything they have come to believe or anything they have done or might do. And this is why they can be so dangerous and destructive. They constantly chant FREEDOM and RIGHTS. For them, this means their freedom and rights to do as they please without any regard for any consequences of their actions. Their only goal is to get ahead, personally. It matters not who gets left behind or how or even if they survive.

Our great Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, has called them, the MAGAs, weird. This is because everything the MAGAs do feels weird to anyone with any significant development of heart-quality. "Weird" non-specifically covers all of the manifestations of anyone who lacks heart-quality. This includes the inability to laugh a true, deep, heart-felt laugh at one's own self and to laugh *with* others rather than *at* them.

We the People, here in the great USA, along with People anywhere and everywhere in the World, desperately need more heart-quality in our lives, especially in our elected leaders. It is at heart-level where we are all interconnected and interdependent, where we are truly all one, all in this Life together. Mind-games are what divide and separate us. Only the Love experienced through heart-quality truly brings us together and unites us in a harmoniously cooperative wholeness that is sustainable so we can not only survive but also thrive ... together.

Thank you ! Mr Nate well written 💯truth !! All facts !!

Elaine-Guess who never closed the border - Biden! He reversed all of Trump's policies on the border. They never completed the wall - wasted all the material that was just sitting there ready for construction.

Apologies to the British, and the rest of the world for this jackhat!!😞 It literally boggles the minds of those of us who DID NOT choose him, as to how we arrived at this embarrassing point in time…….

I assume that “Shar” is a troll. Not a very good one either. Apart from the excellent analysis of the Trump psyche, White’s mastery of alliteration is a joy.

Elizabeth very clearly describes one of the fundamental elements that have made this kind of person possible: the undermining of our educational system, including the Bush era passage of that cleverly disguised fiasco called "no child left behind." And one element you did not mention (there are so many) is the blatant Republican blockage of student loan debt forgiveness! Thank you Elizabeth, I wish more people could understand this, and do a course correction at the highest level for our educational system.

Very well said, just the truth exactly

I will never, ever understand how anyone could vote for this evil man

Z, there was a border deal on the table several months ago, written and approved by bipartisan legislators. Guess who killed it? DONALD TRUMP, who didn’t want the problem to be resolved while under Biden’s watch. He wanted to say that only he - Trump, could fix it, so nothing got done, and so ordered his spineless, brainless, useless Trump arse-kissers to kill the bill.

Dear sir, Nate. May I ask….. What have you ever done for your country? By the way, you’re not articulate nor witty. You run at the mouth without concern. How do you deal with the state of your country?? Lay words together on paper ?? Ever put money where your mouth is??
Your article is appalling.

Well said. Only the British could nail it with such eloquence. Bravo!
I agree 100%, but no comment is worthy of this incredibly accurate discription. Nate White represents the British humor, refined, dry and understated., hilarious in good taste.

This article is brilliant. The writer surely knows their stuff and it has been written beautifully..I don't like ANYTHING about tramp...he has NO POLICIES..chump is about CHAOS & helping the RICH & CONNING the DUMB..(ill-informed). I'm ready for dump to be dead to US ALL👍🏼👍🏽💙

Everything written is true. He's a bully has no sense of humor, and has the mental capacity of a thirteen year old boy. Ugh!

Very accurate!
As an American, I will add: This is what happens when governments/leaders try to damage the education system. Republicans want our education to be poor, so that citizens grow up to be stupid. They have been working on damaging America's educational system for decades. One chip at a time... You see the evidence of this most in our southern states, because they constantly elect Republicans. The poorly educated will be easier to control and are more likely to believe politicians' lies. What you are seeing is a severe decrease in the critical thinking skills in a third of the American people. The rest of us are lucky enough to have critical thinking skills. Plus, I do have to say that a 2nd thing I am noticing in Trump supporters is that they seem to be the narcissists among our population. This type of personality disorder is attracted to Trump and these MAGA ideas.

Trump is a miserable old coon. He has no policies but degrading Americans. He's out of control because he definitely knows he is losing. Dont be surprised if he goes completely nuts before the Election date. His hateful rhetoric will only take him down. Remember George Wallace....hateful garbage out of his mouth as well. It didn't end well for him.

I'm an American and can honestly say this is the best piece of writing I have ever read! We have had to live with this piece of manure for 8 years but not for long. Karmala is coming. Mille grazie to such a brilliant writer.

👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

This American says, "Spot on!" Thank you.

Wow Christine. The hate is spewing out of you. I believe in immigration, but it has to be legal. We've had 10 million plus illegals come into our country and who knows how many get-a-ways. If you lived in TX and saw the trouble the residents are having to deal with, maybe you would understand.

To Z: first of all you've been brainwashed by this idiot! Immigrants are an essential part of this country. And Donald Trump probably has a bunch of them working at Mar-A-Lago for a pittance for their salary. We are energy independent. We are drilling more oil in this country now than we ever have. And we believe in free enterprise. I don't know where you're getting your information but try checking on some facts, which is really something that Trump supporters never do. Nor does Trump himself. All he knows how to do is bully, call people names and never has one sentence in a rally that tells what he's going to do to support americans! He's all in it for himself and every one of you God damn idiot supporters know that but just can't accept it. He even made a statement in one of his rallies that he doesn't need you. Wake up sweetheart! This f****** country is going downhill in 4 years if he gets back in the white house, but I don't think that's going to happen.

This country have been going down hill for the last 4 years, but people ignore the truth. I don't particularly like Trump as a person, but I do like his policies. Policies make this country, not the person. Close the border, be energy independent and believe in free enterprise. All the hate and other crazy things that have been going on in this country, is destroying it. People need to vote for the policies that a candidate have, not their personality. It is so ironic that England is slamming Trump, when their own country is in turmoil. They are s socialist country and they want the US to be the same and so does Kamala Harris!

Many of the people who are for Trump don’t do their “homework”. Homework means to look up their candidate on a non partisan website to see what their chosen candidate stands for. Instead, they listen to all the rhetoric their candidate says and actually believes that candidate.
A lot of Americans are very gullible, easy to fool. Americans are very spoiled too. They are constantly looking for “something for nothing”! A lot of Americans are very lazy too. Many of them have “the drive thru lane” mentality of life. These same Americans do not appreciate what their forefathers and foremothers went thru to have what they currently have. And yet, they are willing to accept the fake, empty words of a “carnival barker” at face value !! I call that LAZY & STUPID on their part. People like trump want to turn America into another Russia, it North Korea, China, and throw away all that the forefathers created for us !

Extraordinarily accurate as well as cathartic. If, God forbid, the shoe were on the other foot and a shooter missed Joe Biden by millimeters…can’t you just hear Trump, declare “I don’t like shooters who miss.” Come on, you KNOW I’m right!!

If Donald J. Trump were an organ donor (which, in a million years, would never happen) and I was near death in desperate need of a transplant, death would be an easy choice over his poisonous, toxic, filthy, gangrene, corrosive, Putin-loving organs. I would absolutely rest in peace.

Absolutely spot on! Brilliant!

Your essay was nothing short of brilliant mate!

Speaking as an American, I have always felt that at any given time one-third of our electorate would vote in favor of toxic waste. Time has proven this to be true. Trump is that toxic waste.

Kudos to Nate White for his artful and, one might say, to kind take down of our Great Orange Turd.

Brilliant. Just remember not all Americans like this, this, thing. Wish this opinion piece could be printed in every newspaper and every online news website. Thank you. Absolutely love this.

It's impossible for rational adults, grown ups, especially non US people..... to understand why millions of Americans support that person you described so well. It's simple. They want a Christian nation that abolishes abortion. They also want a predominantly white nation...very, very badly. These things Trump will attempt very hard to give them. THEY DO NOT CARE THAT HE IS A MORON. THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT HE SAYS OR DOES IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE. He is the only voice they have. They care about God, and white people. But Trump only cares about himself. He does not care about one single person in this or any other country. His followers know this and DO NOT CARE at all........God, abortion, white people.

Brilliantly written. One of the best articles I have read. Nailed it & loved the Jabba the Hut reference, no offense to the Star Wars franchise. He has absolutely no redeeming qualities & is in fact a despicable human being. It baffles the mind that there are Americans who actually believe this grifter.

I wish this article had a share option. I want to pass it on to so many others.

Oh how I as an American appreciate the British. Your article couldn't have come at a better time, we need a dose of humor and reality this election year.

Eunice. Pay attention people. This is exactly exactly what Trump is and he’s proud of the fact.

As an American, I could not agree more with Mr. White's description of this reprehensible, sad excuse for a human.

You can be sure that many Americans are completely baffled as to why anyone with a pulse would vote for this sociopathic, narcissistic, pedophile, rapist who is also a convicted felon (34 times) that has more than likely sold state secrets to Russia.

Absolutely on point. A terrifyingly self-serving individual, there seems no limit to how low he will go to get to where he wants to be.

Someone post this on Truth Social or for sure post it on X. It’ll get back to him.

Very well said!

I love it!

This is spectacularly correct and a perfect description of him and his entire family.

Geez, this is perfectly ON POINT!!!!

Middle-aged American white man lifelong conservative say: This is correct. Top notch, hey Governor.

I am American, and I can say I fully share your confusion about the 1/3! Perfectly written. Agree wholeheartedly.

“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle. Violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work. Grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace. Treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy. That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame. No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong. Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”

Reminder -

Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected.

Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote.

Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.

Only 1 President has ever been criminally convicted.

**And only ONE President has done ALL FOUR**.

Brilliantly descriptive

Wonderfully written. I agree with every word.

I'm a retired military American who had the great fortune of being stationed at RAF Mildenhall many years ago. The British people embraced us and graced us with their kindness and civiliity, their intelligence and wit, not to mention improving our eloqution. This piece describes the subject more accurately and perfectly than anything I've seen since he descended that escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy. Americans I know cringe each time he opens his angry little fish mouth. I recently had a red maple leaf tattooed on my arm in the hopes people will think me Canadian. I pray he will see your article and his head will explode. One can hope.

Thank you. We keep hoping that his (i dont speak his name) long extended 3 minutes of fame comes to an end. We may now be close. A crushing defeat will have his 20th C backers search for another corruptible candidate. And btw, I also see Jabba the Hut when I have to view his physical form. But that’s unkind.

Next time mental health week comes along please sigh up.

Thank you - excellent analysis! Should be shared far and wide.

This. Is. Gold. Thank you for putting the thoughts of so many Americans into print. Unlike Jim Jones, The Donald’s people actually pay for the poisonous Kool-Aid and they seem to be fine with it. I’ve had 2nd hand embarrassment since 2015. Again, thank you.

Bravo! Well done! Many of us Americans feels the same exact way, and intend to prove it in November. It’s beginning to look like the hate fever is breaking, as some of his followers are peeling away. That doesn’t change their behavior however, but that’s another story for another time.

This American is of the same opinion. Brilliantly written!

Shakespeare of shit! That’s the most perfect description I’ve heard! ❤️

This American thanks you for this eloquent and well deserved skewering. I could have said none of this better myself. Well done.

Everything you have stated is absolutely true and completely accurate. He is stupid, crass and a moron. He always was. How he has managed to fool some people into believing his crap is beyond me and everyone that I know. But, he is about to get his comeuppance and their names are Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. It will be a great day.

Donald Trump particularly detests science and scientists because he cannot understand anything that is science. He is dumb. He is afraid of people unless he is leading the group. He has never attended the Kennedy Center Honors because he cannot talk to honorable people. His self-esteem is extremely low. Donald is a puppet because they own him. They have given him money and now they own him-Heritage Foundation, Big Oil, evangelicals.

The majority of we Americans also think of him this way.
We are as confused and dismayed as everyone else at our countrymen who seem to eat up his nonsense.
Nothing would make us more happy and proud than to see him and his sycophants pounded into dust and forgotten.

I’m a longtime Anglophile; attended college there my Jr year, worked there extensively in the 90’s.
This is the correct description of Trump…when it comes to racism, Americans are NOT nicer that Brits, that’s his constituency. Most of us were shocked there were so many racists still out there, but he ended up in office thanks to our little Constitutional issue of the electoral college. Be grateful you don’t have one.

Though the article accurately depicts Trump’s personality and actions it obviously is biased or some of the examples (Nixon and Bush) would be joined by a few Democrats similarly situated.

We were on a cruise recently sitting in one of the hot tubs. This British couple got in and after exchanging a few pleasantries, the woman looks at me and and says "Can I ask you a question?" I said sure. "What do you think about Donald Trump? We English just don't understand it." Well, I proceeded to tell the couple about my complete distain for that lunatic. Unfortunately, I used language I profusely apologized to them for. They actually seemed to enjoy my tirade and we had a good laugh about my choice of words.

The best and truest description of him. He's an embarrassment to this country.

This is a perfect description of Trump. He embarrasses me and I am sorry there were people who chose to vote for him.

In a word, brilliant.

I have insufficient skills to praise this piece. Spot-on? Beyond that. You cover every spot. Touché’? The fall of the Light Brigade had fewer wounds. Shakespeare shakes his head and will not joust with his pen, knowing he can do no better. Bravo.

I forgot to say as a professional mental health practitioner, let me add Trump’s diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is through the roof!!!!! Untreatable!!!!

Wow! So perfectly said! He is exactly all that you said and really more if anything even more awful can be found. Well done sir!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Wow! So well done! And many Americans see and feel the same things. I’ve been in complete cognitive dissonance, disbelief, horror and grief since Trump crawled out from under his gold plated rock and people …some are even educated… actually believed he would represent their best interests. He only represents his own interests. November 6 is coming. Here’s hoping people find their moral compass and vote Harris/Walz.

Excellent article about the soulless creature Trump. Its beyond my comprehension how anyone in their right mind could ever support this man who personifies evil!

Bravo!! The POWER of WORDS

He is totally without humor, but what can you expect from a man whose vocabulary is so limited? His nephew has stated that, in DJT's upbringing, his father told him that laughter was a sign of weakness, which may explain this somewhat. Personally, I think that those reptilian eyes of hi tell the tale of a man full of evil.

Ha! Absolutely the be

Perfectly written. We’ve been trying to find the words to describe the totality of this entity without success, your words are a complete description and spot on. Thanks Nate.

Sometimes as a great British singer said. You dont always get what you want. But you get what you need. England needs a Donald Trump because they are being flushed down the toilet.

He was selected and trained to be a jerk by his vicious, artless father. Worse, he was trained to be a NY developed. Total A-whole (no sic).

So perfectly said!!! Please keep in mind many of us (and hopefully a majority come November) are truly ***terrified*** of this
(I can’t even bring myself to call him a person) thing - having any control over our future as a country!! We value equality, decency, respect and care for one another. We sane Americans need your support Britain! We love you and don’t want you to lose hope or faith in us.

Succinctly written, pure poetry!

I prefer Trump’s faults ,to the British polite fake friendship ,which is followed by backstabbing ,any day of the week.

Kind, sir, thank you very much for this wonderful description of public enemy number one!

Watch Comedy Central's Jordan Kepper or one of Stephen Colbert's guys when they go to Trump rallies. A lot of people believe some very weird shit. Some believe that Obama is still serving as President. Others said Trump was a religious savior. Then there were the people who said Trump was still in charge of the military, but it was a different military. Say what? Then there was the pro-Russia fervor because Putin seems like a "very nice guy." Then there is the Fox News chatter. Trump never got us into a war. Yeah, but he didn't get us out of Afghanistan like he promised. Or the price of eggs was cheaper. Like he had control over dairy farmers or the swine flu. The problem is, there is a lack of deep thinker or deep diving into issues. If you see yourself as a Republican, you are going to spin a story in your head that fits the narrative and ignore all signs to the contrary. Sadly most Americans do not know history. I'm out talking to people all the time, and there is little understanding of state government versus their Federal government representatives. It's all pretty shocking.

Every accusation, attack and criticism that Trump makes towards his opponents is a direct reflection of who this man really is! If he says you’ve done something, he’s either doing it or is guilty of doing it in the past.

,But, why do so many voters support him, half the country? It would be wise for Dems to ask themselves that, and then act on it. Are they all blind, or stupud, doubtful. That such a distasteful man should be so popular is something that should not be ignored. Republicans aren't much different than Democrats, once politics is off the table.

I wholeheartedly agree with these comments and he makes me EMBARRASSED to be an American!!!

As an American, I am embarrassed that a convicted felon could ever get near being nominated in a presidential election. I believe we are the laughing stock of the world because of Donald Trump. He is evil, a liar and a mean nasty human being. Regardless of what news station you watch, how can any intelligent person even think to support this man. As another comment that was made, I can not fathom how we Americans can stomach this man. When he won the first time I felt it was because this country needed a change. I did not vote for him but I did understand how he won. He said everything everyone wanted to hear. He did none of it. It was all lies and now all he does is call people names and spread hate. I hope Kamala Harris demolishes him and totally humiliates him in he upcoming debates and the election. I also hope that the democrats will be totally prepared for all the riots that will follow if he doesn't win. He's just a baby who causes as much turmoil and chaos when he doesn't get his way. For those of you who support him and believe in his lies, just wait and see where you and this country is in four years. You will be poorer than you are now. Your kids will have little or no education. Inflation will be out of sight, taxes will be unbelievable and he will sight on his GOLD throne laughing. he and all his rich cronies. There will be no middle class. There will only be rich and poor. All his promises and lies will leave you in the dust as he laughs all the way home.
He and his pals are evil and selfish, so go ahead and elect him president and destroy this country. We are free right now. You people that want your guns, what for? You don't need automatic weapons to hunt. Why do you want them? Haven't there been enough school shootings, mass killings at grocery stores and concerts? How can any real American even think about this man as our president. I abhor the senators and congressmen that have allowed this man to brain wash them with all his false lies and promises. Oh I forgot he will take care if you once he is in office. If you really believe that your are in much more peril than you can think of. He is selfish and evil, a horrid combination. Keep the USA free!!!! Please for the grace of GOD do not elect him as president. I am 75 years old and never really belonged to any party. I tried to listen to the candidates and used my own brain and vote for whom I thought had my interests at heart. No one will please everyone but if they really believe in most of what you believe then you must try to trust them. Trump believes he is the one all and know all. He has no heart and no soul!! He corrupt and evil, he belongs in jail, not on the ballot for President of the United State of America. Please make sure that he never makes it to the White House again. Evil, evil evil!!! He is a deplorable human being!!!

I never thought the day will come when so many US legislators, led by Trump, would publicly show no class, ethical or moral values.

Unfortunately about a third of Americans didn't vote in the last Presidential election

OMG you nailed it!! And trust me, the other two thirds of Americans DID NOT EVER want or ever vote for that!

Trump people don’t like him. They just like the policies of the others less. You just don’t get it!

He is what I would call
“A schmuck with ears”

Absolutely correct on Trump. As an American so baffling that so many Americans like him. I will never understand this as long as I live. So sad for our country

Vicki: Sadly, an accurate description. As a retired teacher of middle schoolers, my biggest complaint about Trump is the fact that he is the embodiment of all of our schools anti-bullying policies teach our students NOT to be. How can someone who defies these policies be a role model for our kids???? The Democrats need an ad for TV that shows this!

Beautifully, accurately, said. A convicted felon, traitor, and many other titles for Trump makes no difference to a large portion of the country that want him as President again. A country that landed on the moon, defeated Hitler, Communism and Imperial Japan has been unable to rid itself of this vile filth.

This is pure artistry! So accurate, unfortunately. 2/3 of us cannot understand how anyone could possibly be fooled by him. How can they not see insanity when it's right in front of their eyes?

Anyone who reads or listens to his increasingly insane and delusional rants, yet still think that Trump is fit to be POTUS, needs to join him in the asylum. The deliberate name calling is increasingly more childish and desperate, yet probably delights the lowest-IQ MAGAs in the local junior high schools. He praised Putin, not the Biden administration, for the release of American prisoners. He can be president of the asylum, along with his vice president, Hannibal Lecter.

My question is how is his example in line with the teachings of Christ?

If this Presidential Election was determined by sanity and moral character, the Democrats would win 50 states.

Christopher Noble is undoubtedly right. Trump enthusiasts are products of potato love, they want the trains to run on time, never mind the character flaws, and thus Adolf Trump suits them just fine. But I think that thanks to pastor Bonhoeffer and Dr King and Fanny Lou Hamer and Governor Stevenson, the American electorate has emerged from the sewer which is the home of Trump and is poised to reject his toxins.

Donald Trump. Humanity at its lowest. (If he is human)

Welcome Tim Walz. Governor Shapiro you are loved. We revere Willie Mays and John Lewis, both enemies of Donald Trump. Let’s go to the polls for the Vice President, learn to pronounce her name and teach others how to, and bring Governor Walz on board as an antithesis to the hate being promulgated by Marjorie & Donald.

Well written and accurate portrait of a white slug....and that is actually an insult to the slug,l for it at least has to work for its own food. He is the ultimate insult to humanity and it is so wonderful to see some of the US waking up and looking at those extreme flaws before they vote in November. Pray that many more open their eyes before there is no more democracy in the States. As Canadian, I have watched the goings on with deep fear.

Very well written. It is clear that you, from seeing "Draft Dodger Donnie" from an ocean apart from us in the USA, have a clearer understanding than his supporters.

This article about Trump is undoubtedly and verifiably true, but misses the point. The majority of Trump supporters truly believe that the Democratic Party has a political, social and economic ideology that will ruin the country, and must be stopped by any means possible. It’s like the electoral choice between the Nazis and the Communists in Germany in 1932. The bourgeois intellectuals were disgusted by Hitler’s personal character and lack of “breeding”, and criticized him using the same terms as this author uses to describe Trump. They were also right. But those bourgeois intellectuals also missed the essence of what was really going on, and so were ineffective at reaching out to his supporters.

Southern American here (and all of the mea culpas that go with that), but University of Cambridge grad (how's that for a juxtaposition?). Raised lifelong Republican from the Heart of Trump Country in Tennessee. Or perhaps former Republican because, well, eight years of watching "Mussolini in a sandbox." You nailed it, sir. And him. Hopeful news for all of the sane, though. In 2020, every yard and home in my neighborhood and city planted huge TRUMP banners and flags in their yards, on their homes, on their trucks, and anywhere else it was legal (or not). This year, not a single one. Anywhere. No yards, homes, trucks or even clothing. Maybe there is a God. Greetings from a "White Dude for Harris."

You forgot he 💩’s his pants

Goodness. This the most accurate description I've ever read of the maniac, Trumpty Dumpty. Well done! As a Canadian, it simply boggles my mind wondering what the good people of the US are doing. How is it that they are following this nutbar? How is it that this criminal is not only not in jail but being allowed to run for the Top Office? 🤯

Very well written you missed nothing and described him accurately!

With the help of the Supreme Court the insane minority Trump is on the path of destruction. It doesn’t matter if they win or lose this upcoming election. They will claim victory and declare war on those who don’t ware the mark of the beast ( red hat ) We lose either way.

Speak to your mothers and aunties young men.

Young brothers. Am I hearing correctly? That you are seriously considering voting for the Ku Klux Klan endorsed candidate? I tremble. Where is your political education? If you think that Trump represents you and your interests, then Martin and Malcolm lived in vain.

American here - you are spot on and I am constantly amazed at people who blindly believe, support and follow him - even when proof is given of his lies. “I don’t care” they say. (Watch some of Jordan Klepper’s interviews) I am scared for our country and hence the rest of the world if he is elected.

I understand why many people don’t like Trump, however, when one considers the alternatives, to me he is the best of a bad bunch! Especially when that includes Obama, Biden & Harris, as they are all also seriously flawed as well!

It really boils down to a left v right issue. America has unfortunately become very woke with the Democrats becoming more Marxist, so anyone such as Trump who challenges them is at risk.

Obama introduced the racial angle & Biden has been a pawn of the left led by Obama. Harris would take the US further left, is that what people want?

I think that even at his age that Trump is mellowing & that he just had to show up to beat his opponents. However, given the lefts fear of him, I doubt whether there will be an election this year!

Donald Trump is crude, rude and ignorant ! That says it ALL. God help America and all of our Allies IF he wins.

All sounds very true but why is it that everyone that I know, “talking heads” on cable news, journalists, anti-Trump Democrats, anti-Trump Republicans never mention the obvious concern that we’re all aware of: Trump is unhinged . One does not have to be a psychiatrist to know that is a narcissist, a psychopath, a misogynist, a pathological liar plus so many other mental disorders.
The news was all about poor “old man Biden” and and his rapid mental decline/. approaching senility.
Never did hear or read about the danger of a having a psychopathic president.
There are certainly those who are aware of this. Why is it that no one will challenge the the lunatic.
“Old Man Biden” is still cognitively sound; just negotiated the release of innocent prisoners held in Russian prisoners!
Please organize and let the whole know that
Trump is dangerously insane. Most know this. What is the world afraid of?

Your description of this pathetic formof humanity could not be better, it's spoton and well written.

Well said! I will share this far and wide!

And Brothers and Sisters there’s a good chance that black women may be the ones to land Trump in the jailhouse the Stoney Lonesome (although I will ever hold out for life in the asylum).

Donald Trump truly believes that Kamala Harris disguised her black blood-line, but his belief is not true. Trump believes that Obama’s US birth is suspect, but it is not. Obama was born in the United States. Clearly. Trump believes from the bottom of his heart that he won the 2020 Presidential election, but he did not. He lost. Trump believes that the thugs that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6th are patriots and martyrs but they are not. They are lost souls led astray by Donald John Trump. Trump believes that black women are stupid, but he is deluded in that belief. Trump believes that he is a human being and that is his cardinal delusion. Trump lives in a dream world that works on Reality TV. (look at the ratings, the cash coming in), but sadly for Donald, Reality TV is not real. It’s make-believe. Just like him.

No one projects like Donald Trump. Now he labels Vice President Harris evil. But who was it, when his time in power was at its end, rushed to execute all the federal prisoners he possibly could, running out of time after thirteen were poisoned to death, some of them clinically insane, some possibly innocent, others against the counsel of his closest advisors - and all of this killing committed to burnish his credentials as a tough on crime guy. He wanted to kill more. I hate to break the bad news, Mr. Trump, but that is what true evil looks like. And how about this? One day a panel of Presidential Historians and Political Scientists - Republicans were members - voted Donald Trump the worst President ever. The next day Trump passed that distinction to Joe Biden, and he has been repeating it ever since. Don’t forget too that it was Trump who was convicted of thirty six felonies in a court of law by a jury of his peers. But it is Biden who is “Crooked Joe” That such a pathetic half wit, who himself is probably clinically insane, is the candidate for President of a major political party, and who is adored by millions - well it’s cause for migraines and sleepless nights.

For over half of us here in the USA we totally agree with every word you say. If he ever had a soul, he sold it when he was 7 or 8 years old. He was always a rich fat bully. He makes me want to puke when I here or see him.

L, it is YOUR lack of awareness and objectivity that drives you to make such an uninformed comment. I believe that “TDS” is the total lack of willingness of TRUMP’s rapidly dwindling followers to see where he plans to take our country if he wins. Their unwillingness to set aside their own misogyny and racism blinds them to how desperate Trump is to win again. From his public comments, he already thinks he is going to win. Why would he think that? It scares me, and it should scare every American.

Why does he always need someone to explain what he meant. It's obvious, just like people in Russia don't have to vote: because their votes don't matter. If Trump is elected, some variation of the following will happen: future elections will be cancelled; credible opposition will be imprisoned; elections will be truly rigged, in the Right's favor.

Great article!! Explains the guy with subhuman qualities to the “T”. Decency, humanity and democracy will prevail!!!

L - OK, elitist? Sure. Creative, humorous, and SPOT ON description? Definitely! Education is NOT a liability.

The author suffers first and foremost from TDS and secondly from, although veiled, European elitist complex. You know how you know if an article is a complete waste of time? When it lacks any semblance of objectivity. S/he lacks awareness and credibility and this explains why the likes of Joe Rogan is more trusted than the "elite" educated media.

It is unfortunate, speaking as a Canadian neighour, that many Americans have arrived at Alexis de Tocqueville's prediction that American citizens would find themselves in a state of inevitable personal insecurity.
It is this, which accounts for their urge to have a hero to"fix" things for them.
Orange Adolph is just more of the last Adolph.

For the two-thirds of Americans who will never vote for Donald Trump, it will be hard for us to remain in a country ruled by a demagogue. Many Americans see MAGA as a cult of angry whites. I see MAGA as more of a religion full of clasped hands worshippers who believe Trump can do no wrong.
Trump is not smart enough to govern the United States. The country will be run by much more intelligent criminals. However, Trump will still have his finger on the trigger of the most dangerous military in the world. Trump may need his wall on the Southern and Northern borders to stem the flow of emigration.

Felix Justice the answer to your question:"How nature could create a Nelson Mandela and a Donald Trump," is simple: Nature abhors equality, it prefers differentiation.

If this doesn’t convince voters to reject Donald Trump in November, I don’t know what will! Do the willfully ignorant MAGA voters think this way to “Keep America Great Again” is a positive move for our country? Do they think Trumpty Dumpty will let THEM vote, but reject those voters with actual critical thinking skills? THIS is what the lunatic Trump said on Friday about the upcoming election:

"I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote and again," he added. "Christians, get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It will be fixed. It will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

This man-child is becoming more and more unhinged every day. He wants to take away women’s rights and voters’ rights, and that’s just for starters.

Everything that's been said from Carol on downward to Felix is absolutely the way I feel. Thank goodness we started waking up before it is too late. Obama, Biden and Kamala Harris are our torch bearers and showed us what good Americans need to be. We will vote...yes, VOTE!

The British may not understand that Trump never could have succeeded (on his own) in becoming president without the support of the uber wealthy, right-wing American demagogues who have been building toward an oligarchic government takeover since at least the 1970s. That is when they began infiltrating: (1) Talk Radio all over the US, (2) the Fox TV (so-called) News Channel, (3) and (4) conservative Christian denominations --all with ultra right-wing agendas, misleading propaganda, misleading correspondences with certain Christian "End Times" religious beliefs, and outright lies. Several of these demagogic organizations collectively are now referred to as the notorious Project 2025 group of organizations. Leaders in certain Christian denominations were, still are, conned into believing Trump was the man that God was using to bring about what they traditionally have believed was the prophesied End Times. Certain so-called Ministers and Denominational leaders/influencers have been able to blind vast numbers of congregants into supporting Trump, despite his evil moral reputation and law breaking. Their motivation, as old as sin: money and the glorious influence over huge congregations. Oh yes, they have been fine and slick orators with rather peculiar explanations regarding why Christians should excuse a reprobate like Trump. (To say this in a few sentences is, of course, to unavoidable err due to extreme oversimplification.) The movement in this direction has been building in the U.S. since the 1970s. Perhaps it started with the Heritage Foundation. In any case, leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the leaders of this movement recognized that with Donald Trump they could provide a persona to be the face of their plan, a showman with charisma, but no moral compass and no actual education to confuse him, to bring their mission to fruition by making him the President. They have succeeded greatly. Or they had until July 21, 2024. Until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pulled the political rug from under their feet. And the decent and thoughtful people of America responded instantaneously. It felt, it feels like a miracle just happened. Written on July 25.

Trump has not a clue, nor does he have a heart it's no time to play with democracy, Trump never did nothing in politics other than what he did in this last term. We need someone with brains.

Dear, noble Adlai Stevenson. You did your best to heighten the level of political discourse in this country. Look what it has devolved to.

Reality TV is not real. It’s make-believe.

He himself is a joke

It baffles me that so silly and vapid a creature as Donald Trump could appeal to millions of people. How could that be - that they think he’s a real person? He’s not.

This should be re-printed on the front page of every newspaper in America.

Today, July 18th, is the 106th anniversary of the birth of Nelson Mandela. Can someone please tell me how this world can produce two men, Mandela and Trump, of such divergent moral characters? Please.

He believes that John McCain was a loser for being captured, and he wants no cripples marching in his parade, only goose-stepping Aryans. 1932 has returned.

He is not only the worst President ever but also the dumbest and most ignorant. A demagogue from hell.

This is absolutely correct. The man should be nowhere near politics. He probably did it to try to make some hard cash to bolster his failing businesses. The one clever thing he managed to do is become a Republican politician. In an interview he gave years ago he said then that “Republicans are the dumbest voters in the country. You could outright lie to them and they’d just lap it up”. Well it seems they do and like Ian they now just repeat his diatribe verbatim endlessly without any thought of their own. To quote him “such sad losers”.

His name sounds as if it was a stage name. He will trump whatever hand you deal him

Totally spot on !!

This was absolutely, the best!
You were able to put into words, exactly what I had been thinking for years. I had been trying to find a tiny glimmer of decency in the guy, but I gave up. It just isn't there.

Well said!!!

Ian, I cannot see one factual statement in your comment. Your “facts” are fed to you by Trump, over and over again; someone who lied over 30,000 times while he was in office. Your Obama/Hillary comments are truly ridiculous, but Trump desperately wants you to believe them, so he continues to sell that crap to you. Trump is the WORST President ever, according to scholars of history who carefully compiled a list of all the presidents using FACTUAL information. He counts on gullible folks like you to spread the lies and delusions, while making absolute fools of yourselves because you can’t provide any real information from reliable sources.

But in the meantime, enjoy those repeated Hannible Lechter jokes, and the repeated boat story about the shark, and all the lies about the things he did while in office, and how he “won’” the 2020 election, while ignoring all the research that says otherwise. Absolutely insane and delusional, and his supporters pathetically try to deflect it all back on Joe Biden. At least Biden is surrounded by good people and a supportive, loving wife. Trump, a felon himself, is surrounded by felons and fools, and his wife obviously can’t stand him.

I see the comments from those war mongers who do not value world peace, but I do not understand. Trump brought peace to the world including three area that had never seen peace before. Obama conspired with Hiliary Clinton and elements of the CIA and FBI to make completely false claims against Trump about "Russian Collusion". Trump began to bring prosperity to America and was very conscious about productivity, the dangers of open borders, and the untruths being told about costs of renewables only policies, and effects of climate change. The UK, Australia, Europe, Canada, and others could certainly benefit enormously by following Trump's lead whilst he was President. Why can't we be told the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Simply spot on!! Yet, there are brain dead rednecks in this country who love the POS. My hope is to wake up one morning and see that he has received a toe tag and laying on a cold slab with a sheet over the ugly thing.

All readily apparent to anyone paying attention (even a child) back when he first came into broader public notice, mid-1970s, so you’re a bit late, but thanks for the heads up?

Unduly flattering, but it covers the ground reasonably well. The British terms Cad and Bounder are appropriate. I dont know of a suitable Australian word: both Buggar and Bastard imply a certain matey tolerance if not approval. There are cruder words for someone with no redeeming features.

I agree with your description 100%. It is sad to see how he’s managed to turn his flaws into qualities for his followers to emulate. He has given people permission to become the worse versions of themselves in the name “freedom”. In the upside, Trump has helped us see those around us for who they really are.

Someone mentioned his policies. Exactly what are they? They never mention exactly what they are. He blatantly said just last week, I don't care about you.
I just want your vote. Told black people, you're the worst. Your neighborhoods, education, finances are terrible. You can't get a loan to buy home. What do you have to lose? Um, whatever freedoms people died for? Thank you for so eloquently and accurately describing trump and his basketful of deplorables. As we crudely say in America - you nailed it!

Well, Kristof, perhaps you should take a good, long look at the policies that Trump and his band of lying, rich arse-kissers have in mind for our country. Take a look at Project 2025, which is absolutely horrifying to those of us who think our democracy is extremely important. Trump wants to stay in power forever, and take away many of the rights and freedoms we hold dear. Just think of it, Kristof…. A self-obsessed, lying, cheating, draft-dodging, woman-grabbing, philandering, convicted rapist, convicted tax evader, to name just a few! His character IS important, and anyone who doesn’t understand that will blindly vote for the con-man who will not do a thing to help them.

Trump is counting on the willful ignorance of the MAGAt voters.

Even if you are right in some characteristic description, your coments are irrevelant to his policies.

Thank you, Nate, for this amazingly truthful article about Trump. If there has ever been as dim a mental bulb of a man, it remains unknown.
I can’t stop laughing because your uplifting description of Trump, with examples, is exactly my thinking! It is beyond comprehension how that man is being allowed to run again for President of the United States? Everything about him is disgracefully wrong. Trump belongs in prison. I’m flabbergasted by how many of my friends, family, clients and business associates love him to pieces and plan to vote him back into office! Seriously, NO, NO and NO, followed by NO!

Were you aware that Mr Trump boycotted the memorial service for the civil rights icon John Lewis, that he paid no tribute to Willie Mays, that he deemed BLM a symbol of hate, and that he described Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed three BLM partisans as a “fine young man” and honored him with a dinner? Welcome to America being made great (Again)

Trump is truly evil and he needs to be jailed ( and not a ‘country Club jail ) for his remaining days on this earth ….period the END

How is it that the British are so capable of being so concise.

Wow!!Wow !!Wow !!!!!

Thank you from deeply in my American heart. I live in Michigan and had no idea Americans could have reverence for such a cruel and thoughtless human being.

You have without a doubt, my friend hits, the proverbial nail directly on the head, well said, and here, here, thank you.

This is without question the best, most consummate piece on trump I have read. I live in the US in the Deep South on the coast and have been dismayed to the point of depression over the state of our country. The Republican Party has been hijacked and handed over to trump by people who know better but surrendered all morality, wisdom and concern for our country. They are banking on the orange spectacle winning and getting appointments for their allegiance and lies for him. The part of this country that do care and are fighting for democracy apologize to the rest of the world for this travesty, embarrassment and everything they collectively) are.

Everybody knows that.

Of course, he’s NEVER done anything wrong, traffics only in BRILLIANCE.

When he reports to the jailhouse, it will be because of Democrat perfidy. Ask him. He’ll tell you. No. You needn’t ask. He’ll tell you first.

No matter how rich he may be, it can’t hide his utter cheapness.

Nate white nailed down Trump’s personna so eloquently…Donald is a hologram —a braggart, devoid of substance, masquerading as a human—- a modern day Caesar, not yet ousted by the senators who have been confounded by his threats and abuse. He is leading the way to cultural degeneration ….a soulless nation is falling into the abyss.

Amy your “red hat “Is on too tight it’s cutting off your intelligence.

Well as an American we think that about many of your kings and Queens, so we really dont give a flip what you think about our president. He truly was a great president, and we really hope to see him ad our next president. He is the only one who can save our great nation from the bumbling bafoon that is now in office!

Poison from within.

Furthermore, he has stink breath.

Without question, humanity at its lowest

Why make it so intellectual, just say Donald Trump is a deformed ass, in other words, a cretin.

Believe me when I tell you the majority so Americans are completely dumb founded
by the loyalty and affection the Maga crowd for Trump. Especially the Christian
Followers, how can they possibly embrace a man who reeks of mortal sin? We hope to prevail in the next election, because if we do not there will be no more United States of America as we know it today💙🇺🇸

Loved Mr. Whites article and description of Donald Trump! He did leave out the fact that he is also unsophisticated.

Excellent!! That’s what I think about this person.

Kudos to Mr. White for the ultimate description of why trump should be despised. His disdain for any of the conventional attributes of humanity place him in a category of his own. Leave it to a Brit to find the truth in him, using the best of English humor no less.

Mr. Standish, you clearly have not sought any sources to back up your ridiculous claim, unless you are consulting Trump’s catalogue of lies. In a recent (February 2024) survey, 154 presidential specialists who are currently members of the American Political Science Association. Trump was LAST. Joe Biden was ranked at #16. Obama was ranked at #7, which would surely enrage Trump, of course. This information is on the Axios website, and similar results from other surveys can be easily Googled. You will believe anything Trump says, even when he doesn’t have the facts and figures to back him up.

Well Mr. Standish, you’re pretty stupid, I’ll give you that!

Whoever wrote this about Trump has there head up their ass, you must be a Biden fan who is nothing but a communist, a liar hand cheat he’s the worst president we ever had and probably will ever have, do your best. Have a good day

Ditto x millions

You can add deeply dishonest, totally narcissistic, completely amoral, ignorant and delusional.

My comment disappeared. I’ll be more brief. Well put. I think his „ style“ appeals to the crass among us. What’s even worse is that he promises to be Dictator so we’ll never need to have another election. And he promises that from DAY ONE, he will implement Poject 25 to take away all Democracy.

A most excellent assessment. After living in London for 3 years I am still in deep admiration of the brilliant and uncanny way in which British writers can succinctly and directly mak their point. No exception here. I shudder to think he might be re-elected; it makes one embarrassed to be an American.

Thank you for your astute assessment of our eternally embarrassing ex president. Would you mind terribly if we exiled him to Scotland?

This is absolutely correct! The bloke has nothing to offer, as he is a he epitomy of a turd smashed under a tyre.

What an astute observation of a joke of a human being. Hopefully we will not be stuck with him for another four years! It would be a dark day in our countries history, following the overturn of Roe vs. Wade! Please don’t let it happen.

Yeah but his policies were pretty good! No wars started, lowest unemployment in history, that kind of thing - you know, the stuff that really matters!

Totally missed the daughter-diddling and how he loves being around other pedophiles and keeps them as pals.

So completely apropos for 'the scum of the earth" as i call him.

So well put by this witty, astute Brit!
Donald Trump is now "The Shakespeare of Shit"

He has both the IQ & personality of a dog turd in the rain

Having anything to do with him is like living w a dad who sells all the furniture, gives away your dog, is contemptuous of your mom, then promises a trip to the amusement park.

Trump's followers don't care that his laws might reduce their social security check, eliminate affordable medical coverage, helping cover past college loans. Trumpers are a cult. They are the "slugs for salt" and are looking for an outlet to support their xenophobia. #Biden2024

As you say: Spot on. Leave it to a Brit.

Well Done, Brilliant! Right on! However it’s not just the British but the Americans, etc., as I am an American Living in France longing for Trump to disappear off the face of the map.

That is why the Neanderthal Marjorie fits him so perfectly.
