I try not to talk about Donald Trump too much these days.聽It鈥檚 bad for my blood pressure.聽And my sanity. And聽my general faith in world politics and the human race, to be honest.聽
You get the picture. You know I am no fan.聽
But at what point will Americans wake up to how destructive this man is, and how ill-suited he is for the presidency. When will they take to the streets in their hundreds of thousands and demand he stand down? Because that's what they need to do.聽
Overnight, Trump's been on twitter.聽 His tweets are that of an ignorant school boy....they're inflammatory, xenophobic, and dismissive of the sexual harassment horrors that keep emerging in the media and film industry.....
Let me take you through it.聽
He has retweeted three inflammatory videos from a British anti-Muslim, far-right account.
VIDEO: Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!
鈥 Jayda Fransen (@JaydaBF)
The account is run by a woman - Jayda Fransen - who was found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment last year when she abused a Muslim woman for wearing a hijab. The woman was with her four children when she was abused.聽 Fransen's due in court next month to face more charges of threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour.聽
In the videos that Trump's retweeted from her account, you see a young man who Fransen says is a Muslim, beating up another young man. In another, it looks like it could be ISIS in Iraq; a man is thrown from a roof. And in a third video, it shows a Muslim man damaging a statue of the Virgin Mary.聽
Trump often shares questionable content, but these tweets are highly explosive and incredibly inflammatory -- and they're from the account of this woman who runs British first. A fascist, nationalist, far-right group.聽
And so that's one issue. It鈥檚 quite an issue. But it's not the only issue overnight from Trump's bizarre presidency.聽
Matt Lauer was sacked by the NBC overnight. He鈥檚 one of the most famous TV news anchors in America. He earns over $25 million dollars a year, he moderated an election debate between Trump and Clinton. But now he's gone.聽
You may recognise his name.聽He鈥檚 the American who bought the Hunter Valley Station near Wanaka this year. It's 6,500 hectares.聽
Anyway, I digress. He鈥檚 been sacked from the NBC.聽
And why? An allegation of sexual misconduct. The complaint from a colleague is detailed, apparently -- and NBC has immediately terminated his contract. Lauer has either admitted to it, or the allegation is so severe it鈥檚 warranted Lauer鈥檚 immediate sacking.聽
And so Trump sent out another tweet.聽This is what it said.聽
Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for 鈥渋nappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.鈥 But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake 九一星空无限. Check out Andy Lack鈥檚 past!
鈥 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
I mean, I can't even.....I don't know where to start with that. He鈥檚 dismissed what is clearly a serious allegation of sexual misconduct, and used it to have another go at the media.聽聽
Where are the checks and balances with this man? There are none. None what so ever.聽
How is it that this man was elected to run the most powerful country in the world?聽
Honestly, if humanity survives his presidency, we'll be doing very well.聽
