I'm wondering why the Trump Administration is beginning to remind me of Hans Christian Andersen's story of The Emperor's New Clothes?

I have memories of a book I read by William Shirer.

I had to Google that one, Sharron, but I take your point

When he talks, Trump reminds me of the worst kind of teenage girl - almost a parody of Vicky Pollard from 'Little Britain' - 'Yea but no but'.....

Am I the only one who thinks she is going loopy ..... and it's all Trump's fault?

When he's on telly, I correct him or tell him what's wrong with him - as if he can hear me, or - as if he would even care! :-S

Oh dear, how sad, never mind eh! :-D

I don't get around to correcting him - I'm just sat there opened mouthed in disbelief!

After his press conference, Hugh Laurie tweeted 'Will there be a separate conference for the verbs?' :-D :-D :-D :-D

That could make a great chidren's programme....The Verbs:-D :-D

I'm just wondering (wandering) how I seem to have drifted into a parallel universe. :-S

Lewis Carroll has a lot to answer for!

Many people ingest certain substances to escape from reality. My wine must be more potent than I thought :-0

Allan, you're now in Trump's alternative universe and that's an alternative fact. :-D

I had a message from my cousin the other night she started with Hi Lynn welcome to Trump land I had laugh it was if they were living in fairy land she's coming over in June it will be very interesting to hear all about firsthand.

I was talking to men in the warden control where mum lived and they think someone will take a pop at him whatever happens his lies will catch him out :-D

Alternative facts, Linda, alternative facts ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Alternative facts?
From the man himself!

Whatever this was, Sweden doesn't know anything about it.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Although the fat fellow dislikes the media generally, he certainly gets his esoteric messages across using the same facilities.

Mostly myths & nonsense, of course.

Although Trump's reported approval rate is only 40% it is 85% with Republicans.
Make of that what you will.

Well he's got Sweden wondering what happened on Friday night after at the Florida rally he said look what happened last night in Sweden after taking in all the migrants.

More fake news??????????????

it happened in the alternative world of Trump and his associates!

He holds a press conference where he continually accuses the press of lying - and tells his supporters they should only believe him - he will tell the truth.

Two days later, he invents a terrorism event in Sweden, caused by it's immigrants!! :-S
To use his own words:
'Look what's happening last night in Sweden' :-D :-D :-D

Sweden's former prime minister asks 'What's Trump been smoking?' :-D :-D

Sewdish Embassy's response?

"Unclear to us what President Trump was referring to, have asked US officials for explanation"

Trump now says he was referring to a Fox News article.
It appears it was an old Fox News article - that has since been debunked.

If he wants to reference old news and relate it to terrorism, I might send him a copy of this from a couple of years ago

Per capita Australind does have a fair proportion of immigrants, mainly from the UK and South Africa with a smattering of other nationalities.

The Republic of Australind should close its borders at once!

:-D :-D :-D

Responses in the main article are funny:

The danger is that he may start to take himself seriously.

I found this article extremely interesting

The Swedish Embassy in Washington, DC has now asked Trump what he was talking about on Saturday :-D
