Secondly... as awful as Trump is... what makes him truly awful is the fact that he is the president of the United States, and all of the implications that come with that. In terms of world leaders in general, if we're comparing them like-for-like, if you're going to ban Trump you'd have to ban about 80% of the rest of them too ...
Nicely put. Sort of what I meant when I said there were others who have a worse record but you kind of said it better I think. Nice to be able to agree with you for a change though I will say the pomp and ceremony of royalty isn't bad for the tourist industry.

Baying mobs look pretty ignorant, whatever they are baying about.
