Just wondering if Trump endorsing Boris and slagging Corbyn on LBC
yesterday will have the effect Trump (and Farage) intended?

I've a feeling many in the UK would do the exact opposite of what Trump
wants. ;-)

Quite a feather in the cap for LBC, though.

Wonder if any PM has appeared on a similar phone in prog in other than the
UK?

It's the best reason I've heard in a long time for voting for Jeremy Corbyn.

Only because Trump was talking to our mate Nigel who was hosting the
programme.

If so then that'll be a furst for Trump.

It was a set up you know.

I'm sure the British public are not that shallow. I am tempted to suggest
Trump cannot have much to do if he can spend that long talking to an ex
politician on the radio.

It was obviously a set up after all the President should have more to do
with his time than to chat to an ex politician on the phone on the radio.
The question is, what is the motive here?

Personally I cannot bear to listen to more than a few sound bytes of Trump
as he is either completely ignorant or a little bit mad. Some of the things
he says beggars belief and I'm not giving any of them the oxygen of quoting
them. He has enough hot air on his own. Brian

I doubt many take any notice of him.

Although I find Nigel Farage's phone-ins interesting, and would
recommend listening to them, I doubt if any BBC programme presenter
would be permitted to have a regular 6 hours per week of air time for
what are essentially pro-Brexit party-political broadcasts.

In his half-hour 'chat' with Nigel Farage, I was actually quite
impressed by Trump's frankness and apparent honesty regarding his
opinions. Unlike the furore that followed Obama's innocuous 'back of the
queue' so-called 'interference' in our referendum, it's unlikely that
Trump's extremely disparaging remarks about Jeremy Corbyn's suitability
for the premiership, and about Boris Johnson's transition deal, will
generate anything like as much condemnation (certainly NOT from either
wing of the Brexit camp). But at least it has exposed Nigel Farage's
election policy of wanting Johnson to join him in going for a no-deal
Brexit, in the hope it will bring the pair of them both a glorious,
overwhelming victory.

Of course. They have 12 hours per day of what are essentially pro remain
party political broadcasts instead.

Farage has playeds a shot to nothing. If tories join him, its a sign of
weakness in the tiories. If they dont, it's a sign of arrogance. He has
thrown down the no deal challenge as well.

No, its good tactics.

If you've listened to Farage on LBC, that should hardly need "exposing"

As are many people. That's the whole point about con artists and
bullshit merchants. Unless you're actually fact checking everything
that comes out of their mouths as they're saying it, then superficially
they can sound very convincing. Not least because they actually believe
all the bullshit themselves. It was the exact same with Blair.

Possibly because people took Obama rather more seriously than they ever
did Trump. Like Boris Johnson he's a turn; worth listening to not for
his wisdom but for his entertainment value.

Contesting General Elections costs money. The real question is
probably whether Farage already has, or can secure the financial
backing, to back up his threats.

I quite like that various ex-BBC presenters turn up on LBC, and are
given their voice rather than being wrapped in neutrality, I can even
usually listen to James O'Brien, David Lamy often gets a <click>

Why, governments seem quick to criticise any involvement of Russia in an
electrion, why not the USA too?

But it remains to be seen if there is enough of it to do
a decent campaign in every seat and even if there is
he wont get even single MP elected anyway, you watch.

His problem is that there isnt even a single constituency
where he has enough support to get that candidate elected.

Different type of involvement.

The USA does in fact do the same sort of involvement in an
election in some countrys, but not currently in the UK election.

Trump and Obama were just expressing their opinion.

Plenty have done that about Trumps election and policys too.
