I understand Americans having problems with him, and I can see Brits not thinking he's much of a leader, but I don't understand Brits getting too worked up about him.
I really can't think of how he has impacted the UK or anyone that lives there.
I don't understand why Brits get worked up him about either. He's a tit for sure, but not a tit I ponder on for long.
I'm the same....every time I see him on TV I just think....hew the hell did he ever get to where he is now, he is such a plonker.

On another note, I'd like to take Boris on one of our bike rides where we hit a few breweries, bars or pubs.
I think he be fun to hang out with and drink a few.
Maybe when be gets done doing his PM gig I'll send him an invite in Facebook.

I guess most Brits don't know any fine details of any good things that he may have done since becoming POTUS.
Probably quite a few American's may be haven't much of a clue either. But I'm sure they know more about him than the average Brit.
It also goes the same here with our Government's many people don't know much about any of the good things. One of the main reasons for this is down to the media. They don't want to know about anything good. They try to avoid reporting good things. Or just spend very little time on them. Yes sure the media have always been mostly about seeking out the most provocative headlines and stories but right now imo the MSM are worse than ever in this regard.

Well yes, that's true, but he always seemed like a plonker when he was on Americas version of 'The Apprentice' too.

I hate him for what he is doing to the natural world, rolling back so much of the hard won environmental protections passed by so many of his predecessors for his oil, gas and coal buddies.
Oh and he refuses to believe in climate change (or pretends to)
The man is a dangerous buffoon and a moron as his endless tweets prove.
Oh and watch the violence start when he refuses to leave office.
America will burn.

What will be exciting will be the two months from election until Biden is sworn in.
Assuming we are done counting the votes by then.

Yeah, he really hasn't done too many things I have a huge problem with. Not that he hasn't tried to circumvent the limitations that are put on the president. He want's to be more like Putin. He want's to be able to pick up a phone and change law. Doesn't work that way here.
His problem is that he's a bit of a demagogue and sociopath, and is mean spirited and poorly informed. President's are supposed to sort of a calm, guiding force, and that's not him.
He doesn't have the personality or temperment for the job.

We are doing fine in terms of reducing emissions. Not because of government either, but because it makes economic sense.
Might want to spend more time worrying about China and India if you are really worried about the environment.

According to the graph, our emissions have been decreasing. Of course they say that will change, but it it didnt during his first term.
Again, if you're sitting in the UK and worried about climate change, India and China need to be on your radar.
They are on my radar but the US needs a leader who gives a damn about the world and not just getting back into office no matter what the cost (and I include his wilful mishandling of COVID in that, almost 225,000 Americans dead and counting according to Worldometer).
The most powerful country on the planet needs to set an example.
Biden may not be ideal but between him and the big orange toddler it's no contest in my eyes.

In terms of emissions we are decreasing them while having an increase in population. Thats a good example.
No doubt Biden has a better temperament. That doesnt mean he cant fuck up my country. Jimmy Carter is one if the most decent men to ever be president. But he sucked at being president.

Time will tell MD - but if Trump gets in again your country will get fucked up because he will do what the hell he likes no matter what the consequences and he is very good at that already.
There will be a lot of racial violence for a start and he will stoke the mutual hatred up to the nth degree just because he can.
It's all a game to him.

To be honest, I don't think he has a chance in hell of winning.
Our slow decline will continue with Biden.
That's why I don't get to worked up about Trump. Our problems are deeper than that and I know my life won't be changed by the election of either of those two clowns.
