So many particulars. So many questions.
given the levels of pettiness on display sometimes he probably hasn't forgotten being boyed off by parliament either.

how do you mean Some Use?
Some use to her at least. If they had any kind of collaborative relationship she would have been on the phone saying this has fucked things right up for me, we need to sort it out and working out some way of saving face for both of them.
As it is she was either too scared to call or couldn't get through to him, and even the robotic non-criticism she issued has provoked a humiliating slap-down.

Sadly, I see friends in the UK sticking up for Trump on many an issue.I think I preferred the days before FB, when you could be ignorant of friends' and colleagues' political beliefs.
The main reason I came off FB 18 months ago and dont miss it in the slightest.

It would probably have just made things worse: "I have spoken to Mr. Trump about my concerns and he has graciously agreed to expand information-sharing in the battle against radical Islamic terrorism, a threat both of our countries face. Mr. Golding will be assisting me in this matter."

"He has agreed to consult with the ambassador before sharing anything else from Britain First, and I have agreed to close all the mosques."

Trump knows what he is doing, any reaction is the one he wants, theres no face saving he needs to do, he couldn't give a shit if May sinks or swims. In fact what with him being mates with Farage I think he'd probably rather she sunk and a more UKIPy leader took over from her. No reason for May to call him.
so does Marie le Pen.

I think he/they know what they are doing.
Someone has pointed out that he had to select those particular videos, they're not just the first things you see on visiting her twitter account and they weren't all tweeted out by Ann Coulter. Propaganda often uses a veneer of truth to sneak its lies through, and that's just what this has done. Two of the videos are, it seems, genuine footage of Islamic extremists doing bad things, and under their coattails sneaks the lie - the video of the Dutch kids fighting that's been repurposed.
Fransen's twitter following has gone up, Britain First will undoubtedly get more supporters, Tommy Robinson's on the news, this will be on the agenda in the Netherlands (which I gather is the next big target for this international nationalist populist movement), where even if it is roundly debunked it will allow the far right to get even more of a foot in the door. That video is viral, if you Google it you will find it on a million far right sites - that's where people will end up reading about it.
If that theory is going to stand up it will be interesting what (if anything) Trump has to say about the Swedish elections if he's still there next year.
There are a million Trump possibilities, of course. If you buy the full Russia theory then this fits nicely as a sowing of division, now driving a wedge between Britain the US just as we leave the EU.
If you buy the "racist uncle" theory then, well, yeah...

Yes - that's what I was saying.

I see she was smart enough to show a bit of cleavage when appealing to the world's most famous sexual predator.
I can't see how he can possibly have a state visit now (not that I particularly care to be honest, I'm not a royalist and I'm aware we'd probably welcome Satan if he was buying enough BAE jets).
But look at him, he's such a lose cannon he's bound to want to meet with Farage or even this lot and the government aren't strong enough to stand up to him. Do they want the American president slagging off the EU as Soros-funded cultural Marxists while Theresa May has to sit and smile?
He's going to want to go to Scotland to boost his bloody golf courses there and the SNP don't want him there and will, I suspect, not allow any "official" Scottish Government participation even if he gets tea at Balmoral and a round of golf with Prince Andrew and Colin Montgomerie at Troon or whatever. There will be big anti demonstrations... Parliament won't invite him for the trad address, and is he goes there I should imagine it will now be to a mass walkout... And so on and so on and so on...

He could take a shit in the Queen's lap and he'd still be the best President. Ever.

The scariest thing about him is the fact that no matter how far he goes off the scale with his batshit crazy rantings, his core support remains solidly behind him and the people around him perform ever greater mental gymnastics to defend him, There seems to be competition to out crazy the next guy.

Which reminds me of one of my favourite jokes:
Why didn't Hitler drink....
It made him angry.

Yeah, I've seen his supporters justifying his racism by saying he;s not being racist and hey whatabout insert random name here etc...
It can'tbe long before he's caught using the n-word and that will be justified by the core as well.

Yes, it's on purpose. He's employing a negotiating tactic where you make the lives of your opponents so miserable and chaotic that they get exhausted dealing with it. And its working. I see most people reacting with something similar to after 9/11. People pulled back into their homes and cheap entertainment for a while. He's creating a kind of cultural PTSD and using that to distract from what's really going on.
Much has been made of him neglecting to appoint various department heads within the government. Department heads are temporary. Instead, he's been focusing on appointing federal judges. They are essentially "lifers" and will have an effect on the US long after Trump is gone. He's done this with little opposition because everyone is running around trying to put out fires. The GOP actually set this up by trying to block every judicial appointment Obama ever made. So there's all these vacant seats that the GOP is pushing through with very little opposition or review.
Donald Trump is doing one thing well: appointing lifetime judges
