What did Bowie do wrong?

You know - As an Australian, I look to the USA in the hope of something that is sophisticated in global policies.... just appalling - how on earth do you people believe he is the best person your country has to lead your country.

I thought Elton was the Rocket Man?

I grade Trump's use of the remark as sophomoric (at best).

(fwiw, I'm very independent politically)

The comment is a raging success. Politicians around the globe are using the term "Rocket Man" and it's getting important discussion among leaders.

Yes they were - Look Im all for getting rid of that crazed Nth Korean Leader - wotever you think thats the way a world leader is supposed to be - fine hes your leader....thank god

 

[Mountainmanbob]

Kind of funny because for the simple man telling Trump how he is supposed to be is kind of like when we hear one saying that God is not fair or why is He not doing things my way?

Oh yes the ones that will get in line while in heaven to ask Him why those things happen the way they did.

While -- I will be humbled and laying with my face to the ground.

A good number of voters simply believed he was the best of two bad choices...

If Obama had said it these people would be less likely to complain. They would be more likely to find it funny. But it's not funny. It's a very serious matter. And hypocrisy isn't funny either.

Americans were fed up with fancy-pants elegant language that politicians use. They wanted a president who talked like the old-timey Founding Fathers, who called King George 'Crown Guy' and told him where he could stick his stamp tax.

And they use that language because it benefits them more than it benefits the people they are supposed to be working for.

Yea great - lets go back a few centuries... Great role modelling..... But hey if the US believes it a good thing for them...go for it.

How are we benefitted by the use of schoolyard taunts toward an enemy with nuclear weapons?

I think you are misinformed.

There are plenty of allegations out there that Crown Guy threw the election for Trump. In fact, Trump is on record as referring to Crown Guy as a "strong leader."

We aren't.

It is hard for me to take trump too seriously, but i thought it was pretty funny.

 

[Dawnhammer]

For POTUS using that kind of language is like teenager arriving to a funeral wearing shorts and ragged T-shirt.

He thinks he is cool and rebel.

Other teenagers may think he is cool and rebel.

Everyone else will think he is ill educated and without manners.
