    The majority response of the US public - if it can be measured - to Trump's comments will be illustrative of where the country is right now. There'll always be a hard core minority who will follow him anywhere no matter where that leads. But if all Trump voters fall in behind his position on this then it suggests the country is a lot closer to the likes of Russia and North Korea than we realised.

    What I find interesting about popularity, is that it is the same pollsters who said that it was neck and neck in the US Election, are saying that Trump's popularity is a record low.

    I don't know, I might be and could be very wrong, but the people I met in the US seem extremely happy and positive about Trump and the feedback I have currently is that he is doing everything he promised prior to the election - so the people who voted for him are getting what they voted for. In democracy terms, it's called a Mandate.

    Just like in the UK - you vote for someone and all you can ask is that they do what they say they are going to do in the election run-up.

    Well twisted. The post you have quoted is about people’s reactions to his position on this, not him generally.

    I don't normally see you on here scrutinising every comment that each political leader makes and then saying that they are bad leaders because of it.

    More laughable evasion tactics. What every other political leader says, right or wrong, doesn't excuse the depths Trump has sunk to here. You appear to be the only one refusing to see it.

    The spade is in your hands, keep digging by all means.

    Ok....I'll put a challenge out to you. Quote exactly what Trump said about the events in the Washington DC air disaster. Don't edit them and lets see what you put.

    I don't even think you have read them in full and what context they were in.

    I think you are having another Musk sieg heil moment.

    Are you really that thick? It's not about "exactly what Trump said", it's about him trying to pin the blame on the Democrats before any facts are known. You really are providing a masterclass in blind stupidity tonight.

    What? The people you meet always agree with you and tell you what you want to hear?

    Do you know how pathetic you sound?

    I never said that, but I do go outdoors and meet people. I said Trump was given a Mandate by the people of the US. I said most of the people I spoke to, were extremely excited about the future and also confident. I also said before that most of the people I spoke to were very negative about the previous four years.

    I did meet only one person who was openly anti-Trump who I spoke to. I was in the US and with Americans for five weeks. Please share with me the last time your were there.

    That person, asked me if New Zealand was near the Ukraine and also told me that the world had missed out on possibly a great leader because Kamala Harris hadn't won the election.

    What is pathetic about that? I'm at a loss. What were you doing in that time, playing online gambling in your underwear?

    I don't need to explain, you've done it for me perfectly!
