        I can't find it funny, I despair how events are now unfolding, crazy politics is taking over (or trying to).

                Not quite ... yet!
                Thankfully, who Trump wants as the Ambassador, *isn't* up to him: yet! :whistle:

                    Well, you have to take your Hat on to the man as he's cleverly kept looking to the future, [for himself}, after the EU Referendum knowing that there was no real future for him there in UKIP. So he's said he will stay on at the EU until the UK leaves and that ensures a nice little income for him while seeing the potential abroad and chumming up with a Rich Guy that's dislikes the EU but professes to like the UK.
                    So by becoming a sycophant of the President Elect he's ensuring he gets financial contacts, perhaps support for himself. He's a sharp operator and he knew quite well that there was no chance of him becoming an "Ambassador" of any description between the UK and the USA, at least not while Theresa May has a say............but I think he's having fun twisting the beard of the UK Politicians!! And I still wouldn't buy a second hand car from the man:dunno::heehee:

                      Trump is not crazy. He's done an excellent job of convincing his fellow Americans to put him in charge.

                      Farage is an idiot. But he's served a purpose and continues to do so. He has seriously rattled politicians both in the UK and in the EU and has convinced people they have a choice, and are not automatically racist just because they ask to not be dictated to by politicians from other nations that openly expressed dislike for us ( Britain was originally refused entry to the EU club). Farage continues to remind us all that he is there, and that the established powers are not infallible. In this respect he has been and continues to be useful. For now. But we don't need to worry about him. it's been consistently demonstrated over the past 25 years that while UKIP can gain enough power to scare the establishment, we the people never actually give them enough power to really drop us in it.

                        Well, GC admin have clubbed together to send him a Special Jacket, Clueless, for him to be comfortable in while sitting in the Oval Office, Trump is a symptom of the global turmoil going on in politics with Nationalism, extreme Right Wing, Isolationist parties coming to the fore:dunno::coffee::snorky:

                          But who do you blame for the turmoil?
                          I've said it before, I blame gutless spineless politicians, who are being swept away.
                          They are the cause,....as you say, Trump and the like, are the symptoms

                            To a point I agree, pete. But we're doing the obvious by just pointing the finger at the Politicians:dunno:. What about us, the ordinary joe, in every country, we just shrug our shoulders, look the other way, moan "well, there's nothing I can do about it" and assume the hurt, hopeless, hapless, attitude of a Kid. We're all to blame, and so now having sown the wind, we are going to reap the Whirlwind......as a certain person said last century.:snorky:

                              It is the effect, on the world, of those "symptoms" which is most worrying!
