    The European left has never liked any Republican President, and that goes all the way back to Ronald Reagan. They liked the ineffectual Barack Obama only because of the color of his skin.

    Trump doesn't take them too seriously at all, nor should he.

    The goofy leftists carry the same placards and chant the same slogans whether it's in London, DC, Toronto or Sydney.

    They may spread uncertainty among locals about the President but, by and large, these sorts pf protests have been going on for so long that it's come done to having a little exercise in the outdoors or perhaps meeting someone for the night. They are ridiculous, everyone knows it, and make no effort to hide it. We must deal with the adults in the room.

    Which is the reason you dislike him.

    Tony Blair liked George Bush.
    But I am nitpicking. I agree with what you say.

    And the reason this European liked him.

    Fred's right, this is basically a lefty thing.
    Right wingers don't publicly espouse their politics because of all these intolerant shitheads.
    We are the silent majority.

    You won't see much in the way of right wing marches and protests. We have jobs and other methods of enacting our will on the world.
    If we see a problem we tend to address it as best we can in a individual capacity.
    Marchs are not something that occur to us as being a solution to anything, because right wingers are not expecting to find solutions to our problems through collectivisation of them.
    We expect to take personal responsibility and not collective responsibility.

    It's the core behavioural and ideological divide between left and right wing.

    I never disliked Barack Obama but if you have information to the contrary please post it.

    He was a weak and ineffectual President but so was Jimmy Carter. It has nothing to do with skin color.

    Do you feel there were many who voted for BHO largely because of the color of his skin or would you say that never happened?

    Trump got ridiculed.
    He wasn't welcome to sleep over in either Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. He had to go to the ambassadors residence. And only the Queen showed up, nobody else from the royal house bothered. Same crap with his NATO arrival in Belgium. They had the red carpet out and military dudes standing and saluting in 2017. While they only had a car waiting in 2018.

    There was a popular book in the 90's called "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" wherein the author pointed out that women like to discuss problems whereas men feel they must solve problems.

    The Leftists we see in these protests, in major cities everywhere, strongly suggests that male leftists are also from Venus. That doesn't mean they are Gay but it does seem they have female tendencies in that regard. They are venting their feelings.

    They cannot actually contribute to solving problems and are largely ineffectual. The ones not marching in the parades are often those who are actually looking to the problems, usually not mentioned in these protests, which genuinely need solving.

    Of course this is a broad generalization but there is certainly some truth in there as well.

    Now that is some fine analysis there.

    I violently agree that Trump is from Mars.

    What do you call the man from mars who runs around the world CREATING problems in the name of SOLVING them?
    A friggin Martian.

    If it is not possible for yourself to provide a simple answer when presented with a simple question, no one is able to provide assistance towards yourself.

    See that is one of the problems with the left; you don't know the difference between disagreement and insulting. Yes, insulting our president is insulting America. Yet, you can disagree respectfully. At least conservatives can.

    Well it’s reported that Londonistan has banned a pro Trump demonstration after encouraging an anti Trump demonstration a day before.

    Free speech is dead in the UK.

    Respect is earned. There is respect for the Office which to most is unwavering. Then there is respect for the person who holds the Office, which has to be EARNED. And sadly Trump displays an enormous lack of character, a shocking administrative incompetence, an outrageous track record of lying about material things, an arrogant dismissal of ethical standards, while exhibiting a willful ignorance.

    But I do laugh at how short conservatives memories are with regard to respect and civility. There was this black guy who was president.... I forget his name but it doesn't matter cause he was black and liberal and muslim and kenyan.

    Hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes and ideologies it seems.

    A straight talker instead of a poll driven liar. No wonder you are upset.

    Just for the record, I never spoke about Obama in an insulting manner. Even though I disagreed with his policies. See? There is a difference.

    They'll exercise their free speech when it comes to criticizing Americans and their President, areas where they know they'll be safe and without any negative consequences. However when it comes to Muslims carrying out crimes against children for well over a decade, or Muslims murdering their fellow citizens on city streets, they remain oddly silent. In fact the police force them to be silent.

    These people in the streets, the leftists, are the worst Britain has to offer and we shouldn't judge all Brits by their behavior. The decent must get their country back again, and that will be their greatest challenge since WWll.

    Many insulted Obama because he was an incompetent liar with policies that hurt the country. But it was never about the color of his skin. People of every color can be foolish.

    Yes, I can tell the difference too bad so many of your fellow conservatives didn't see it your way.

    Straight talker? Now that is hilarious. He constantly lies. He constantly shovels bullshit on twitter. He picks fights that have already been won and claims victory. Hes a friggin con man and he has you completely suckered. Oh wait, no I forget who I was talking to, you know full well being an ally and all.
