#47 made ridiculous claims when he met the South African president. The idiot showed photos and footage from The Congo, nothing to do with South Africa. The president of South Africa, who I know nothing about, conducted himself with grace and dignity against the absurd verbal and inaccurate assault by #47.
I suppose I could look it up but the location of the small town in South Africa where our coach left us to amuse ourselves for a couple hours, was quite interesting. There was a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, which included a pub with large tv screens. There were a few local people there, all black. The staff were all black. Apparently white farmers and other whites visit the pub to watch sporting events and have a drink together. No black mates though. It is still a very divided country.
Yet the owner of the business was one very old white woman, who was in charge of the till, surrounded by black staff, we being the only other white people in sight.
In the middle of nowhere, she seemed to feel quite safe surrounded by black people.
I know in Zimbabwe, once Rhodesia, there have been serious issues for white farmers and murders of farmers, but #47 has exaggerated, as usual, and goodness knows what his motive is about that, aside from discrediting black people.
Daily #47 comes up with new nonsense, but keep the faith. He has three more years of damage to make, but it can be repaired. He will back off close to elections. I wonder why he does not care about the world thinks of him.
If I've missed your posts or not commented when I should have, this is the reason why. I rely on The Old Reader to read blogs. It is normally good but is on its third breakdown in two weeks. While I pay only a $1 or so a month, it is very annoying.

My concern for the USA is that should something happen to Trump, JD Vance would actually be worse. He has been paid for by right wing millionaires since his university days.
ReplyDeleteI fear that many of his fans just believe anything he says. No fact checking. No questioning. Just jump right in with both feet.
ReplyDeleteIn a world already strained by division and misinformation, it's both disheartening and exhausting to witness such careless distortions from someone in power—no wonder you're feeling the weight of it all.
ReplyDeleteI predict South Africa's president will ask for another visit with Trump. The chants of Kill the Boer and Kill the Farmers are despicable.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Trump has motives as such other than power and money. And dismissing and discrediting anyone he considers other. And black is an easy one for him.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that your Old Reader is giving you grief.
The Felon is an idiot, plain and simple.
ReplyDeletewell said.
Delete#47 is playing to the racists, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this "reader" option or "feeds" that others seem to rely on. Every blog I follow is saved and listed under the "favourites" option right here on my screen. I click on the star, a drop down menu appears and all the blogs are right there so I can click on whichever one I want to read.
ReplyDelete#47 is an idiot who believes he is the greatest thing on earth and no one anywhere is as great or greater. Spoiled baby.
River, that is interesting about how see new blog posts. It can be done within Blogger by clicking on 'Reading List', but that won't show none Blogger posts, such as WordPress etc. I can add anything to The Old Reader, news or any other website I am interested in.
DeleteIt is impossible to reason with a narcissist. 3 years is a long time to create havoc in the world. No doubt he will change the constitution to allow himself a third term by then. If Putin can do it then so can he.
ReplyDelete#47 Likes to stir people up it seems but apparently, he has many things moving e.g. building according to a person from over that way.
ReplyDeleteThe Reader? never heard of it Andrew.
I read something yesterday about him being a coward and how he backs down when someone says boo back to him. The true nature of a bully. But as someone else has said Vance would be a whole lot worse. The right wing Republicans are hero-worshipping an idiot for the sake of dominance, But what I see is the country of America rising up and challenging the new changes in the courts.
ReplyDeleteI became close friends with a lot of South Africans, once they moved to Melbourne, and was so impressed with their education and culture, I even tried to adopt a Afrikaaner accent :) But these friends left their parents and their homes because they were disgusted with Apartheid and white racism against the black majority.
ReplyDeleteThump must be dementing.
I find it difficult to accept that a lot of Americans still believe everything that comes out of #47's mouth! His speech is so incoherent sometimes, or is that always? that I think he must have some sort of dementia.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope he doesn't change the constitution and run again, but by then I hope more people will vote against him!
Hopefully, people will stop being so lethargic about voting and make sure their votes count.
ReplyDeleteThe taco man is a fucking nightmare/nutjob. He is an embarrassement not just to Americans, but the human race as a whole.
ReplyDeleteThe Episcopal church has refused to take part in the resettlement of the south African farmers, calling it overt racism. The propaganda films are just fake. But it does not take much to convince his cult. Hell. They believe Biden was executed and a clone took his place. What has happened to reason? Now Poland has a pro-Trump leader. I despair.
ReplyDeleteThe Old Reader, huh? That's new to me. I just go down my blogroll at the side of my blog and click each link.
ReplyDeleteCrime in South Africa is bad, but it's bad against everyone, not any specific racial group. Trump's blatantly racist extension of refuge to white South Africans, while he lets people from the rest of the globe suffer and even compounds their suffering, is disgusting. He's a disgusting man, pure and simple.
I'm not as confident as you that all his damage can be repaired, at least not in the near future.
