The Telegraph reports that Trump has set a record for the fastest majority disapproval rating:

So did you sign the petition?

Sigh.

No, I actually read the article and know something of the vagaries of oil.

On a different tack, I'd suggest now is the time when the Australian government should be making serious entreaties to big US tech firms. They have got to be getting worried at the concentration of stupid that's coming out, and it wouldn't take much for trump to screw them in one of his ill-planned 3am 'ideas'.

Time to be looking at Australia as a bolt hole if trump makes the US untenable maybe?

President Trump personally scores low approval ratings, but he is pushing an agenda that has the support of most Americans.

As Shakespeare said, don't 'hoist by your own petard'.

Yeah ..... me too. What do you know about road, rail, buildings, campuses, airports, dams, bridges, water and waste water, and nuclear?

No but I agree with the sentiment of not approving a racist by giving him state receptions etc. The pressure is on for his visit to be downgraded rather than stopped which it never will with trade deals to be won.

Trump state visit plan 'very difficult' for Queen - BBC News

May is under pressure too re the travel ban. When asked a few days ago she baulked at commenting by saying something like US policy is for the US and UK policy is for the UK which everyone knows is code for we are trying to get some trade deals with the US so we'd better be nice to Trump and not criticise him whatever we think privately (diplomacy, a concept hitherto unknown to Trump).

What did Theresa May know about Donald Trump's travel ban?

Mugabe (you know, the guy that Australia was instrumental in manipulating into power) is a racist and he got a state visit

The UK has a history of bending a knee to despots in state or other visits - especially when there are arms deals on the table - so there should be no problem with the democratically elected president of one of the world's great democracies. But of course this is a problem with the feminazis/SJWs/Twitterati etc

He who screams loudest gets heard - reality is an afterthought today

As I said, he will be visiting not banned but the visit might be downgraded.

You had a perfect opportunity to label anyone with a contrary view to yours a 'WH' but you missed it.:rofl:

'We are not amused' but we're not too fussy who gets a state visit:

Many muslim countries ban Israeli passport holders from visiting their nation (Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Dubai spring to mind) - why no jumping up and down by the left with this then?

Like I said in a previous post - massive hypocrisy from the left, but then those 2 go hand in hand

When viewed from as far right as you are of course.

I'll give you a good example of hypocrisy if you like:

Donald Trump used many illegal immigrants on building sites for his hotels. Do you deny it? (well you can but he did). He's going to make America great again apparently and American workers are the best but:

Donald Trump’s Foreign Workers: American Workers Aren’t Good Enough | National Review

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort employs mostly foreign workers | Fusion

Trump also owes much of his fortune to wealthy Muslims and employs many Muslims. Hypocrisy I'd say.

Yep. And he's not banning Muslims. Research - don't be sloppy.

You lefties are hilarious.
