    .@realDonaldTtump has just told a press conference he threatened to "drop" captive UK-born IS fighters within the UK's borders, and leave authorities here to try and "capture" them.

        Trump has also just boasted about "our very big, very monstrous, very powerful airport" in the Middle East. Yes, he said 'monstrous', it's not my predictive text going awry.

        Trump also referred to himself in the third person while acknowledging the technical proficiency of IS terrorists: "These people are very smart, very technically brilliant. They use the internet better than anyone else in the world, perhaps, except Donald Trump.”

        And apologies to the fake @realDonaldTtump (32 followers, two tweets sent) for mistakenly tagging you in the first tweet of this thread. I'm sure you wouldn't have said what @realDonaldTrump just did.

        He thinks one of our states here in the US borders Mexico, which it does not. Smart he isn’t.

        Are you serious? Just when I think he can’t get any worse he does. Way to tick off countries that used to be the US’s allies.

        These countries are still allies, and most citizens understand only half the country supports these people. That said, as a citizen of one of these countries; the longer this goes on the more difficult I find it to differentiate the US president/GOP and the US people.
