Well, I've been blaggarded on this very organ for failing to give him the respect he is owed.

(I leave you to guess by whom!)

There has indeed been a lot to cheer about regarding the Trump presidency - the North Korean summit, the upcoming meeting with Putin, pulling out of the TPP, weakening the hegemonic power of the G7, ending support for terrorists in Syria, continuing to call out the lying corporate media, etc, etc.

Theirry Meysssan at Voltaire net has a good article judging Trump from such an anti-imperialistic perspective. I encourage all progressives to read it:

No doubt, many Britons will be happy with Trump's coming visit. One pub has even decided to change its name in his honor:

He probably won't notice. But it might be vaguely cheering to those who do spot it next week. I wonder who will actually be pleased to see him here? Politicians are probably going to be polite. American ex-pats probably left for a reason. And nobody else, surely, wants to see or hear him over here? Perhaps I underestimate the pull of celebrity.

I love political humour and this 'baby' definitely needs lampooning but sadly does not offer a solution to the fact that we are entering 'the Age of Tyrants'. That was a scary read Phallus-dei.

Forgot this.....

Cannot and will not give any support to lying Nazis and Fascists. He's achieved nothing apart from breeding hate and ignorance on an almost global level. Those who support him seriously need to check their moral compass!

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned here, yet - it's probably just too obvious. But I can't see how this is acceptable:

No doubt the gullibles will continue to turn a blind eye to it. I'm dying to see what Putin's response will be, cos he seemed quite happy when Trump said the total opposite in his presence! :D
