Trump

[gulliver1]

Trump on his UK visit ." I will stay out of UK Election" "But Boris is doing a good job " Eh!
You couldn't make it up could you.

[diddlydo]

This quote from the BBC article:
Speaking on a three-day visit to the UK, Mr Trump said he would "stay out of the election", that he was a "fan of Brexit" and he thought PM Boris Johnson was "very capable".
If that's not endorsing the Tories in a run-up to an election I don't know what is.

[Zacs-Master]

What influence do you expect Trump's endorsement to have, diddly?

diddly //If that's not endorsing the Tories in a run-up to an election I don't know what is//
And your problem with that is?

[diddlydo]

That's not the point - it just shows that Trump is a liar, just like Boris.

[naomi24]

diddly, it's not news so he's hardly electioneering. His opinions on Brexit and Boris have been in the public domain for a very long time. Still, why take a moment to think rationally when there's a wonky-wheeled bandwagon to hop on?

[diddlydo]

Naomi - you're clutching at straws with your soi-disant arguments. One can only hope that votes by the people who hate Trump (every UK citizen of sound mind)will have a detrimental effect on votes for Boris.

[Zacs-Master]

What influence do you expect Trump's endorsement to have, diddly?

[diddlydo]

I hope it has the effect that neither Trump nor Boris want i.e. that it puts people off from voting Tory.

[naomi24]

No, diddly, I'm not clutching at straws - I'm stating a fact. We know what Mr Trump thinks of Brexit and Boris. This is not news.

[dannyk13]

Diddly //. that it puts people off from voting Tory.//
Why should it, not everyone is as easily swayed as you appear to be.

[diddlydo]

Danny - on what do you base your assertion that I am "easily swayed"?

[dannyk13]

By your acceptance of everything that the leftie Guardian spews out.

[diddlydo]

I'm not swayed by the Guardian. It just happens to be the thinking person's newspaper of choice because of its first-rate journalism and honesty.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, thank you for proving my point.

[diddlydo]

Yikes! Another one who will argue that black is white and vice versa.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, pot and kettle.

[naomi24]

//It just happens to be the thinking person's newspaper of choice //

See danny, you're just incapable of thinking! Must try harder. ;o)

[Zacs-Master]

So, diddly, you're opinion is that Trump will put people off voting Tory. I thought, as a labour supporter, you'd be happy with that?

[dannyk13]

Naomi, if I said what I am thinking at the moment I would be banned.

[diddlydo]

Yes, if it means that fewer people vote Tory - great! But I despise Trump even more by lying about "not getting involved" in the forthcoming election when he clearly is getting involved.
