take Donald Trump's outrageous utterances "with a grain of salt" says chair of Republicans Overseas

A plea to British people to take Donald Trump’s outrageous utterances “with a grain of salt” was made today by the head of the US Republican party’s supporters in the UK.

Sarah Elliott said she herself had been embarrassed by some of President Trump’s comments, including sexist remarks about crotch-grabbing, but appealed to people not to take his words too seriously.



As new fences and counter-terrorist concrete bollards were installed at the US ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park ahead of his visit, Ms Elliott admitted: “There are a lot of things I wish he hadn’t said.”

In an interview with the Standard, Ms Elliott, who chairs Republicans Overseas, said of his notorious “grab them by the p***y” comment about women: “I don’t like it. But I don’t apply the same criteria to the man I married to the man I vote for president.”

Oh, and Sarah Elliott? You hold your husband to a higher standard than your president? Nice. I think that says volumes about you that you may not have intended.

they are magical thinkers, religious whackjobs who think they are part of the team saving the world.

A spiritual war, a social war, a political war...hypocrisy is lost on them.

They want their theocracy in some vain attempt to reach a utopia or some christian version of a caliphate.

They are trying to "recreate" some ideological fantasy of conservative good old days. Never existed but just electing the Pig, his mere presence magically turned this country around in their cult of personality addled brains.

He is their lord and savior, as blasphemous as that may be, that is where we are at, IMHO.

he is totally deranged and gave a speech filled with gibberish, the Republicans act like that's normal. There is a mad man in the White House and they don't care.
