If you think millions of Americans are terrified by the looming prospect of Donald Trump securing the Republican presidential nomination, you should see what we Brits think of him. Many of us-and countless millions of other Europeans-are wondering, not always politely, if the United States has succumbed to a kind of mass outbreak of madness.

While I shudder at the idea of a President Trump as well I don’t think the UK has much room to talk. Take a close look at the guy running your Labour Party and then get back to us on crazy.

THese are the same fools that loved OBAMA.

Well, brace yourselves UK, we are bringing his antidote.

His name is TRUMP.

I might listen to Prime Minister Farage, but otherwise really don’t care what any of the British think.

This is to be expected from a country mostly run by Muslims. Maybe they would do better if they looked in the mirror and see what they have done to their country. Won’t be long until there will be most of England that is off limits to non-Muzzies. Sharia law will have taken over and the Brits will be driven out.

I’m surprised this fair and balanced article was shared considering BOTH top republican candidates are described with Brit brutality. I liked it. Must be my Brit genes.

Trump did open his mouth and talk about London and the UK. Perhaps he and Americana should STFU about other countries as well. Keep to our own backyards.

Myth. The vast majority of the UK couldn’t give a flying coitus.

“Maybe we will be proven wrong. Maybe Trump will fade, and this won’t be the craziest American election in recent memory. But if Europe is any indication, I wouldn’t count on it.” That was the conclusion. Why? Because the average European knows that they are being invaded and under attack. They would make Trump head of the EU if they could.

To the insane, the sane appear insane!

It is Europe that has succumbed to madness!

Trump supporters are thinking that they do not want to go the way of Europe!

Six months ago people were saying that about Trump.

Those posting the wearisomely predictable 'keep your nose out' comments might do well to reflect for a moment on the reason why there is so much interest and comment in Britain when U.S presidential elections are in the offing. It's simply that, like it or not, the identity of the US presidency still massively affects us (and indeed most of the rest of the world) in all sorts of ways, both fundamental and superficial. So it's a compliment, really. And by the way, the compliment is more than adequately returned in this forum when British elections are looming.

Dear UK, when we want to be a has-been, non-influential, feminized 'burg, we'll ask you for advice.

I’m old enough to remember what Europeans were saying about Reagan 36 years ago and about our ‘insanity’ at even considering someone that promised to start World War 3, in their eyes (hint, it wasn’t pretty).

If they cannot understand, they need to SHUT THE HELL UP or President Trump will leave them behind for friendlier pastures (as in Central Europe and Russia). They gain NOTHING by acting this way.

It’s simple, really. Our founders created a great republic in which we were guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It’s the reason so many Europeans migrated to America. Over the last 100 years, socialists have whittled away at our Constitution, and, as a result, America is no longer the great nation she once was. It’s why Europeans have ceased coming over for a better life and opportunity. Now, we are bombarded with those who are looking for handouts at our expense, and who insist on destroying our traditions and culture. Frankly, we’re tired of being called racists and bigots because we believe in God and want our children to benefit from our hard work instead of lazy communists who hate the Constitution. I could go on, but that’s the gist of it.
