Im in love with the British public and their reception of Trump

Such a proud day to be British! I was one of those marching through London with 250’000 others! I hope Trump got the message that he and his policies are not welcome in the UK.

Politicians not being welcome somewhere because of their points and beliefs and stuff is a bit...meh.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Well for a president that’s only divided his country, caged children, increased racial violence, and been endorsed by the American far-right (KKK); I think it’s perfectly fine. The elections this year are going to be messy, and probably leave us more divided.

Still, a country that would actually refuse him into their country would be just as bad as he is. Refusing him is just doing what he does, it's no different than his words like "we need to arm people to defend against gun violence."

That was or our original strategy to combat him and what he stands for, but it hasn’t worked, the same appeasement didn’t work with Hitler. I’m telling you that the far-right has activated a motivated left, which these elections will be brutal. I do agree though, that the best way to fight Trump is with facts, science, compassion, but also strong demonstrations against his “ideals”.

But not with stuff like "you're not welcome here" and "not our president!1!1". Because yes, he is the president of every American citizen.

I’m sorry, but I disagree with you. We elected Clinton by a 3 million vote majority. Trump won because of an antiquated system that favors the right. Trump certainly doesn’t represent my interests. His America, is not my America. He’s made it clear that refugees are not welcome in America, so we refuse to welcome in my state.

That whole system is strange, but it's been in place well before these elections. It's not like the rules changed suddenly. Trump won these elections, and is the president of each and every American citizen, regardless whether or not any one random citizen is happy with that or not. Fight him with facts? That is a fact.

Do you prefer Clinton or Obama like President?
