He might have meant the moon is a part of mars from being advised about the giant impact theory where earth and mars collided at some point long ago and the moon formed from the debris. Maybe he believes it.

Something fishy about that theory. Mars is smaller than Earth, so how could Mars bumping into Earth have made it completely flat?

In that case. He’d have been as well saying that going to the moon is a part of staying on the earth seeing as the theory suggests that each rocky world that orbits the sun came from a super earth.

It’s quite a stretch though, wouldn’t you say?

I don't know whether those theories are true or not but I think a lot of what Trump tweets is from his advice and not his understanding. I'm not saying he isn't intelligent but I don't think he is as broadly intelligent as he likes us to believe. He has dozens of people whispering knowledge into his ears.

I think that's just medication (or lack of)

Looks like Trump kept pilling on the pressure until the FO gave way. This has Boris's sticky fingers all over it.

Brexit Britain to become just another state of The USA.

President Donald Trump will no longer pursue adding a question on citizenship to the 2020 US census questionnaire. Instead, he'll obtain information on citizenship through other means.

"As a result of today's executive order we will be able to ensure the 2020 census generates an accurate count of how many citizens, non-citizens and illegal aliens are in the United States of America,"

I reported this tweet for racism. Just awaiting twitters normally hastey action in dealing with such matters.

This monsters rhetoric just gets increasingly more terrifying over time.



You're not allowed to criticize America under Donald Trump. Even although his whole campaign to become president was based on an endless stream of criticism and "making America great again".

Clearly been taking some advice from his dear friend in North Korea.

I honestly don’t think he goes without a fight even if he loses in 2020.

If he loses in 2020 the military will have to remove him.

[Bristolhibby]

Obviously I want him to lose next year, but seeing his face will be a massive fringe benefit to ending the whole sorry 4 years.

His rhetoric is becoming increasingly concerning, even by the standards expected from him. A lot of reference to US 'power' and 'might' and he's mentioned military strength a lot lately.

I suppose a war and increasingly nationalistic language will sit well with many in his core support and with an election on the horizon it makes sense to pander to them.

I was wondering if that was his plan as well then realised he simply doesn’t have a plan.

He just seems to swat at whatever is put in front of him from one day to the next.

The only concern would be the ability of the Democrats to pick a sensible choice to run against him. If they manage that then surely there is enough semi sane Americans to make sure Trump never darkens our world again....

Trump's grandparents were from Germany.
His mum was from Scotland
Two of his three wives have been Eastern European
Four out of five of his children have a non-American, immigrant parent.

The people he is telling to go back to their own countries are equally as, if not more, American than him and pretty much his entire family. The only difference is the colour of their skin.

He is a despicable human being.

Well, now he's started talking in this fashion we might as well all do it.

It'll be interesting to see if the part about uniting opposition proves to be accurate. At the moment, most people, most who have spoken out agree his tweet was wrong, but don't always agree as to why.

Absolutely right, except the skin colour bit. There's no other species I've seen that looks like this sub species with his jaffa orange that's had botox appearance

Can't let "THEM" into our country, it's too crowded.

Who is "them"? Blacks? non-christians? Anybody who dare criticize America? He gets away with tweeting things that no regular poster on twitter would. Why should he be given special privileges?

I totally agree.

His most recent tweets are undeniably offensive and racist and he should be kicked off twitter, the same as anybody else would be.

I don't know why they don't do it. It wouldn't be a bad bit of publicity if they kicked the most powerful man in the world off their platform, a platform whose credibility is significantly less when there is an inconsistent approach to the tolerance of offensive language.

I may be wrong, but I thought that particular tweet was in response to a call to allow undocumented migrants, currently in detention centres, into the USA. Accordingly, the "them" was referring to undocumented migrants.

Even if it wasn't, however, I'm still not following the logic that that makes it racist. I can't help but feel false assertions of racism can dilute the impact of genuine occurrences for some people.

I also think banning Trump from Twitter would play into his hands to some extent. It's the responsibility of rational and reasonable people to debate people like Trump in the open and win the argument.

[Hibrandenburg]

His latest outburst follows his method of operation perfectly. He says something that no right minded person can find acceptable and it confirms to them that he's mad. But there's method in his madness, there's nothing he can do to persuade non racists and ethnic minorities to support him, but he sure as hell can solidify his fan base who lap this kind of talk up. If he loses the next election he's going to jail and like every other megalomaniac before him he'd rather see everything else crash and burn with him than be brought to justice.

It doesn't matter though, does it? The very fact that Trump became president and is still held in such high regard by his followers shows that rational, reasonable people are losing the battle. Thinking has become a thing of the past. It's much easier to follow the braindead rhetoeric of the far-right.

Not a chance will he ever be made to step foot in a jail cell. The closest he's ever been and ever will be to a jail cell are those childrens detention camps he visits. He has too much money and creates too many jobs to be treated equally by the legal system.

There are always lines that need to be drawn between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable, they need to be clear and unambiguous.

If you don't accept certain types of message from the likes of Britain First, you can't accept it from the president of the USA.

Accepting it from the president empowers the racists all around the world who might ask, with some justification, why their messages are not allowed and his are.
