The late Dale Winton on Trump

Well, Trump himself has described his hypothetical bravery in response to threat, and given his history of unvarnished truthiness we cannot but uncritically accept his claim as anything but gospel. Trump is like John Wayne, John McClane, and John the Baptist all rolled up in one. We can just start referring to him as “Don the John”, which curiously is how some of his favorite, uh, ladyfriends have referred to him for years.

As for the fêted illustration of Trump by the o.p., it is just one more pearl in a string of “Oh, I’m not a Trump supporter but look at this supposed evidence of his undeniable greatness!” which feels not just a bit like a thin Monty Python skit stretched out over an entire series, especially with the reference to urinating prostitutes that Trump and his supporters like Sean Hannity somehow just can’t avoid repeating as if they keep regurgitating that “food for thought”.

Stranger

Agreed, but there’s this:

If Trump never uttered (or tweeted) a single word, I’d have a much higher opinion of him too.

Literally what political correctness is, that some try to paint is as a negative is mind boggling.

Dale Winton was “famous” in the UK back in the '90s for hosting the Supermarket Sweep game show on weekday afternoons when everybody was at work. He was also noteworthy for being both the orangest and the campest man on British television, and someone who spoke mainly in double-entendres.

He seemed like a nice man, but he was clearly a very poor judge of character.

He was also in the movie of Trainspotting.

I had to google that. He has a cameo as a game show host on the TV when Ewan McGregor’s character’s going cold turkey. See it here, although it’s not very exciting [and contains scenes some viewers might find disturbing].

It’s just like calling to like.

“Unverified” is rather more kindness from you than is merited, don’t you think?
Verified to be counterfactual seems more accurate.

I’m looking forward to his meeting with Kim Jong Un. Both are masters of the “Give me what I want now and I’ll give you what you want later” school of negotiation and can brook no criticism of themselves. Who’s gonna blink first?

Really?
Do you have a list of his more intellectual accomplishments to contrast that low-rent, lowbrow silliness? If not, we can assume that that was his best.
