Nobody in their right mind would venerate the likes of trump.
He’s the personification of greed and division.
Has nothing been learned that furthering individual wealth impacts the majority?
Only now the emphasis of protectionist principles has no diplomacy attracted, its raw and unadulterated.

Heard them say on the news today ‘there is no reason to invite him to the wedding’
Hopefully the world will take a similar stance and turn America into a pariah.

What has been described as a major diplomatic snub must be a bit of a worry, I imagine, in Whitehall. Trump doesn't appear to be in any hurry to visit. Since we are burning our bridges in Europe,the vaunted "Special Relationship" has become more precious than ever. To us, at least.

they still don't get it

when are the democrats going to get their act together ?  They seem to have no answer

of course they stuffed their best candidate in favour of the clinton foundation(1 billion and rising - they must be getting fat on that) Killary  and havebeen shattered since
It serves them right after all their nasty little machinations.

Might end up that we are cutting the ropes to a sinking ship rather than burning bridges UB. We'll see.

The Clinton Foundation has collected more than $2 billion in revenue since it formed — but has given only the tiniest fraction to veterans groups, instead preferring to focus on international causes and in-house operations that provide far more control and less transparency.

In another veterans program, the Clinton Global Initiative said that in 2011, a nonprofit, 3 Generations, which documents atrocities on film, committed to producing a 15-minute video with vignettes of people working to get veterans hired. 3 Generations produced two videos in 2011 and 2013 that were posted on its website.

Another Clinton Foundation unit, the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, teamed with Spike TV to hold a conference in January 2015 on veterans’ health. The “summit” was scheduled amid a PGA golf tour event, the Humana Challenge, which is co-sponsored by the foundation.

“Spike will bring veteran partners to the Health Matters stage for a special town hall, create fitness activations throughout the conference and share content from the event with their TV and digital audiences,” the Clinton group said.

The way the Clinton Foundation reaches veterans is in a way a microcosm of the charity’s atypical operations. Instead of raising money to hand out to entities, such as hospitals, as many other philanthropic groups do, the foundation spends money on its own employees, building a staff estimated at more than 2,000, with a presence in more than two dozen countries.


The arrangement makes it difficult to evaluate the work the foundation does.
Charity Navigator, one of the leading charity watchdogs, said it no longer judges the foundation’s performance.

“We had previously evaluated this organization, but have since determined that this charity’s atypical business model cannot be accurately captured in our current rating methodology,” Navigator says. “Our removal of the Clinton Foundation from our site is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of this charity. We reserve the right to reinstate a rating for the Clinton Foundation as soon as we identify a rating methodology that appropriately captures its business model.”

Another group, Charity Watch, gave the Clinton Foundation the top rating of an “A.” The grade seems to be derived strictly from the foundation’s public audit and IRS 990 filings. Charity Watchdog also notes that 88 percent of donations are spent on programs. There is no assessment of the programs themselves.

“CharityWatch’s rating of the Clinton Foundation is based on the Foundation’s audited consolidated financial statements, which also include the accounts of the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and William J. Clinton Insamlingsstiftelse (Clinton Foundation Sweden), which respectively operate as separate legal non-profit entities,” Charity Watch states.



Charles Ortel, a conservative and an investment adviser, has been going over the Clinton Foundation’s books. Mr. Ortel has a successful track record as a watchdog, finding corporate financial problems simply by analyzing their public fillings.

He says that after a 15-month investigation, the Clinton Foundation numbers are “misleading.”

“The numbers that the Clinton Foundation supplies to the public in its legally mandated filings do not add up, are frequently incorrect, and appear to be materially misleading,” he wrote in a 2015 online report. “In numerous cases, the Clinton Foundation appears to have followed inconsistent policies adding in appropriate portions of the various activities it pursued around the world to create ‘consolidated’ financial statements.”

Donald Trump operates a small private charity that has handed out $5 million since 2009, prompting pundits to label him America’s least-charitable billionaire. But his family is more generous personally.

His son and business partner, Eric, runs his own charity that has donated millions of dollars to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. In 2015, the Memphis, Tennessee, hospital opened the Eric Trump Foundation Surgical and ICU Center. His website says his foundation has given or pledged $28 million to St. Jude’s.

Not sure I've ever heard radio and tv prepared to say 'sh*t' so readily!

They really do hate him don't they.

As for these African nations calling for him to apologise Laugh Most people are still sh*tting in holes and have no access to clean, piped water in their homes.

I'm assuming that all those persons from the "s******e" countries who have emigrated and made new lives for themselves in the USA, will now be leaving the USA such is their disgust with Trump.

I'm assuming that all of those white British Lefties who were so appalled by Trump's "racist" remarks will never again visit the USA, but make Haiti and the African countries their holiday destination of choice.

I'm assuming that any Foreign Aid cash/services that the "s******e" countries receive from the USA will be rejected and returned ASAP.

Right?

Pretty much everything the Tweeter-in-Chief says about the U.S. Embassy move is misleading. And he'd be humiliated.

Fair play to Trump on avoiding labelling London as Sh*thole who cannot guarantee his security.

Very diplomatic and magnanimous move.
