Hally, was this you?
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. 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.
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

We don't want America taken over by foreigners a la Europe and Brit in particular!
We want the dotard Trump and the Repubs to keep things in the balance, too much woke not good!
Things rough for the misfits when they have to rehash 10 year old Trump attack pieces.
This backroom election cycle is promising to provide even more entertainment from the misfits than the last two.
Most interestingly the man who says nothing that's worth a laugh gets tons of laughs, giggles and cheers at his rallies; says a lot.
For balance XD doesn't mind if Chump mocks a journalist who although burdened with hand deformity managed to become an acclaimed/accomplished 'penner' of
articles for The NYT. How very Christian, how very 'Woke-Balanced'

By now, you should know my take on the fox and the wolf - they are from the same family!

“The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.”
