"I would consider it an honour if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency," he wrote.

"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

I live in the USA, outside of New York and California.

Nobody in the UK has a clue about the massive meh of indifference when this crap comes out, the BBC would have you believe Donny boy was a controversial figure. Outside of a few big cities and commiefornia no one cares. Much of the Democrat voting base don't care either.

Of course, it just could be a bloke who is fed up of Trump and wants his name to appear in the list of those who disagreed - nothing political about that, the man just wants to improve his legacy...

The issue is not anything to do with who the person is.
It is all to do with a narsistic despot taking the ball home when he thinks his team isn't winning.

Like I said, most Americans don't care. They also don't care what anyone in the UK thinks.

As well worn as the expression is nowadays, its virtue signaling sounding off to bash uncle Donny, doubly so in the UK where it's irrelevant to US politics.

It's tedious when people attack the guy for stuff he isn't (racist-his record says otherwise and I don't think he sees people as anything other than business opportunities regardless of colour. The sharp rise in black peeps getting chucked in jail is Clinton era) or hasn't done (separating families, the policy predates him and Donny got rid of it, Saint Obama didn't feel the need to do so and the lefterati were silent on the issue at the time because muh hope and change or something).

Getting into fights with the press, the FBI etc was a campaign promise of his. He's a poor enough politician that he actually tries to have a go at his campaign pledges.

The equating with Hitler is how the losers have had to try to come to make themselves feel better about having lost out to the great unwashed.

Trump is a populist for sure, but to try and stretch it to Nazism is pretty desperate. He appealed to the little guy who feared his job being shipped overseas or felt he was being undermined by illegal immigrants.

Worrying about the great masses of immigrants is fine if you have the time and job security but for a working schmo, your own job is the priority.

Hillary's platform was basically "if you don't vote for me a million puppies will be killed.". That may be good enough for the some but others committed the vile crime of doing what they felt would improve their own lot.
