It's interesting to hear the various opinions about this man, and I can well understand why they exist,
but to take to the streets to demonstrate is not my idea of civilised behaviour.

So what is the other side to Trump's story?

I am not referring to Trump Kaz. It is just a generally impression I have that the left seem to think they have a monopoly on virtue.

I have found the whole business with respect to Trump absolutely shocking, whether we like him or not, agree with him or not, the way the anti's have been behaving is and has been outrageous.. The only result where the anti's have succeeded has been to make them look juvenile. Like it or not until Trump is removed from power one way or another the juvenile hysteria creates more problems than those solved. Also like it or not Trump plays the sides agains't the middle. Beware of what you hope for.

Funnily enough it seems the exact opposite to me!

Good to have you back again, Kate. I have missed you.

[I'm pleased to see you agree with me on this matter. I recall that we have usually agreed on most matters.]

It seems to me that both the extremes, left and right, think they have the most virtue. They certainly make the most noise (empty vessel style) with their virtue signalling.

Go to any comments sections of the Mail, Telegraph, Guardian, BBC etc. and you will find that those in the centre, the majority btw, who are prepared to debate in civilised fashion are thrown nothing but insults regardless of their views. The media then becomes complicit in only reporting the extremes as if they are the majority.

Kate, welcome back.

And me! Kate, really lovely to see you back, but like Kaz, we will have to agree to disagree on this one!

Why should any of us respect Trump? He respects nobody (except maybe Putin).
