A plea to British people to take Donald Trumps outrageous utterances with a grain of salt was made today by the head of the US Republican partys supporters in the UK.
Sarah Elliott said she herself had been embarrassed by some of President Trumps 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 ambassadors residence in Regents Park ahead of his visit, Ms Elliott admitted: There are a lot of things I wish he hadnt 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 dont like it. But I dont apply the same criteria to the man I married to the man I vote for president.

(13,903 posts)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.
