I agree that my mate Donald does come in for some criticism.  However, on the other hand, he's doing some things that his predecessor failed to do and which many Americans applaud him for.

The latest suggestion that he might involve America in some form of military incursions into Iran is very interesting.  Of course, it could stir up some big trouble, but I suspect that most of the innocent Iranians will applaud him and even join in the fight.

I've never heard of it either.  Some sort of Americanism, I suppose.

Quote from: klondike on January 13, 2026, 08:02:42 AMIt's easier to spot fake packaging than fake bubble packs which should all show things like medicine, dosage, expiry date and batch number with the fixed things printed and the variables like the last two embossed.
But in the 3+ years I have been ordering this medicine,  it has always, without fail, come in the manufacturers boxes,  not just dropped in a polythene bag. 
When I phoned the company last week,  even they said they should not have been sent like this.  That is why they are investigating.
Would you take Paracetamol if it came through the post loose and not in the usual packet?

True but he does lead himself very open to ridicule by spouting patent BS. None of the left wingers are going to like him for sure but plenty of the old school Republicans aren't keen on a lot of the stuff he does either which is why his approval ratings are apparently dropping. He naturally considers such things to be



I'm wondering if he wasn't the one to coin that phrase.

If the medicines are in sealed bubble packs like many human medicines are, you may be guided by that packaging. If the pills are loose it might be wiser not to use them.

Many "mainstream" outlets publish material that is damaging to Mr trump for their own reasons. Even the BBC has been caught editing output to show him in a bad light.
