Why do they need to be removed, then?
So what?
If Canada's Prime Minister was such a controversial grade A a**hole we'd be discussing Justin Trudeau. (He's actually quite pleasant, I met him at a dinner once.) If Australia's leader was making headlines with some absurd they they said or did every few minutes we'd be discussing that person, instead. But it's Trump, the potus, and the potus has a farther reach than any other Nation's leader, so of course the batshit crazy things he says and does are being noticed all around the world & people have an opinion on them. Why does it seem that you don't comprehend any of that?

I wonder if she feels the same as Elanor Roosevelt felt when she found out about FDR's longstanding affair with a woman named Sarah.
Past presidents have broken norms, too. But Trump’s norm-breaking is different, both in scale, intent and potential harm.
To imply equivalence between Franklin Roosevelt's relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt's social secretary (or other presidential wandering) to Trump's record with women is like inferring equivalence between a fart and a hurricane.

Why are you asking this a second time when I never said they should be removed on the first place?
It's superfluous redundancy.

No I get it. Trump is a huge gigantic deal to folks in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Anyting trump has done that another potus has done, trump has done it ten times worse. His crimes against humanity are gargantuan and endless. That's pretty much the sumation of quite a few theads here. We might as well have dozens more saying the same thing over the next three to seven years.
Well of course it is, you love this stuff.
So compairing trump cheating on malania to fdr having a long term affair is like compairing a fart to a hurricane.
How about my compairing such a distinguished woman like Eleanor Roosevelt to a gold digger who wears high heels to a disaster area like Malania?

I'm careful to post headlines in Australian newsmedia (not just post opinions)
Isn't that the purpose of a news thread??
I can't speak for others but the news articles are a reflection of what Australians think of your POTUS

Well it seems the purpose of many is just to say the same thing over and over.

So is he like the number one subject watched, read about and discussed there?

How are you so willfully blind as to not see how offensive this guy is & that his impact isn't just horrific for America & it's citizens, it's detrimental to everyone on the planet? Everything from attempting to provoke a nuclear war via twitter to promoting misogyny. The man is EXTREMELY controversial, and thus as long as he's making headlines every few seconds he's going to be talked about - a lot - especially by those who cannot stand him nor anything he stands for. Get used to it for however long he holds office.

I'm used to it already and just pointing out the basically identical sumation of each.
So do you think gold digger malania is getting her just desserts in finding out her sugar daddy cheated on her?

Consider people talking about him as a global coping mechanism for the batshit crazy reality we're living in wherer Donald f*****g Trump is the President of the United States of America.
I dunno if I'd call it "just desserts," but I think she'd have to be some kind of crazy to think that an old man who's had a history of cheating on his wives would suddenly stop that behaviour once she married him. She probably already knew the guy slept around, and accepted it as part of the business deal of marrying him, and is simply just mortified that she has to go through this embarrassment in such a public light as FLOTUS more than anything.

I definitely see the batshit aspect.
So can she be compared to Hillary Clinton in this aspect? Of couse Hillary's husband cheated on her when he was potus in the oval office of the white house so idk.
Maybe that was because Bill Clinton committed adultry when he was the President, by having sexual relations in the Oval Office of the White House. For which threre was actual empirical phsyical evedence of ie the semen he ejaculated all over Monica Lewinsky's dress in the Oval Office. And then he lied under oath about it.
While with Trump there's a comment he made one time over a decade before his presidency and an alleged affair over a decade before his presidency and some unsubstantiated accusations.
Those are the facts.

I bet that a LOT of "powerful," men in politics & show biz do a whole lot of sleeping around and for the most part no one gives a s**t. It's not just Trump. Trump's just such a hatable person is why he's going to get the third degree over it.
