@MoragMitchell3 This is my first peek into Twitter for a long, long time, one eye closed and the other a squint. I’m glad this is what I saw, now I’m leaving on a high note. Thank you!

Hear hear. Most Australians were bestowed with many of these same values by our British forebears, with a bit of extra salt: A fair fight is toe-to-toe, one-on-one. If your opponent fought fair, you respect them when it’s done, win or lose. You don’t whine or simmer. But there’s another value Australians hold higher than all others. A value born of centuries of toil, carving a nation out of sunburnt soil. Above all else, you stick by your mates. You look out for them when times are tough. You certainly don’t break a deal you made with them. And you definitely don’t try to extort them. This puts us in the difficult position now of wanting to stand by our mates in America, even though they made a backstabbing dickhead President.

He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

[Morag Mitchell @MoragMitchell3]

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

[Morag Mitchell @MoragMitchell3]

And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

I just read this on Facebook:

Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

We cancelled our 10 day trip to the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. We’ve been going to Vegas more than 20 years around Thanksgiving. Our trips typically cost $12-15K, easily. But not one thin dime for a GD trump state 😡 We’ll start a new tradition, in a blue state.

@TheRichFromCali A dream come true!

@AesPolitics1 Obama saved them and then they screwed him. Now they screwed Biden. Trump’s corporate tax cuts were used to buy robotics. They bit the hands that feed them twice. Good luck. Not.

@mmpadellan I’m torn. Each day I decide yes or no. Mostly I’m just gone. Though I hope to rustle up interest in getting Donald to push for a constitutional amendment to allow secession.
