Yeah I remember hearing about that. But it isn't going to stop people. He will just be compared to something else. Lol

The same fictional character is being used in the British satirical magazine [i]Private Eye[/i] as an amusing way of poking fun at the struggling PM, Boris Johnson (who has described himself as 'fat') and his clear-sighted and disruptive senior advisor as Christopher Robin.

It's hilarious.

@InkBot In lots of ways they are the same...both out of their depth and prone to hyperbole and unwarranted upbeat exaggeration. Neither can handle detail. Johnson has had a good education, is widely read and is able to write with an expansive vocabulary, so hasn't got the excuse that Trump has. The 'patriot' card is also played by both.

@InkBot Yep...and the President appears to be a competent business man. How looks can deceive. 🙃

@InkBot
I am sure their leader is just as cute.
He must have this need to look strong.

@Pfuzylogic Some people think the USA is headed in that direction. What do you think?

@InkBot I think the results of the upcoming election the results will be known. I am not certain that trump will survive his rallies let alone his hard core followers.

old news my friend
InkBot · 36-40, M
@Tracos Yes, it is. That's why I included the year the ban was introduced. I'm sure some haven't heard about it.
