Donald Trump has been greeted like a messiah at the Republican National Convention. But what if that bullet had been an inch to the right?
Subscribe here: / @newstatesman
Just over 48 hours after narrowly escaping death from a gunman’s bullet, Trump has been confirmed as the Republican Party’s candidate for president in the upcoming election. He has named critic-turned-loyalist JD Vance as his running mate.
Andrew Marr joins Hannah Barnes on the New Statesman podcast to discuss how the attempt on Trump's life has impacted his standing among Republicans - and why political assassinations "never work".

@h.e.hazelhorst9838 Месяц назад

I highly value Andrew Marr’s views, but I think he is wrong in his valuation of the role of a ‘leader’. He underestimates the importance of charisma. Have you ever watched how a ‘bully’ acts? Back at primary school, where some boys (yes, they are male almost all the time!) have a natural ability to set up people against others, to make them do things they would otherwise never have done. This is not confined to the playing ground in primary schools, I ‘ve seen it happening everywhere, even among elderly people who should know better. Yes, removing Trump from the political scene would vacate a position for some other would-be authoritarian, but almost certainly not someone with the same appeal. If Adolf Hitler had been killed in he early ‘30’s, the nazi movement had desintegrated very quickly, as there were many ‘successors’ but no one with the same combination of manipulating powers.

"He has been seen, right across the board, by, you know, writers and politicians of the left as well as the right as an exceptional talent when it comes to that". Not by anybody who has actually read the book, surely? It is just full of smug superiority and lazy, stigmatising stereotypes about people in poverty. It shows that he is an assiduous non-reader of policy research. It shows that he still clings to the disproven idea that poverty is a behavioural problem. It shows that he lacks the sociological imagination. Who are these people on the left that respect or admire him for his book? I need to know to make sure I stop taking them seriously in future.

Re. The rhetoric. Maybe Trump Jnr has a very small point, but very few on the left say that he is *literally the same as Hitler*, so you fall into his trap. Also, the more substantive thing is that even if Dems rhetoric plays a part in things, he is being deceitful if he doesn't also accept that Repubs' rhetoric does the same. And in truth, more aggressively and pervasively. You let him off the hook, Andrew.

I love that at 2 min mark Marr says we have to be careful on both sides about the language we use, before accidentally saying Tramp instead of Trump 😆 The reality is a lot of the language used by politicians is for a native audience.

He’s always willing to accept new “chumps”. The word frequently appears in his older books and basically means people he’s got over a barrel, or can manipulate freely. He’s primarily a businessman (or more accurately, confidence man) and doesn’t deal in concepts like “Trust”.- Trust is for chumps. He prefers to have people in his pocket than on his side, and people who will sell out all their principles and beliefs for power are exactly the people that Trump understands best. I find Trump to be insipid, uneducated, vulgar and spiteful, but he’s a very, very good con-man.

@@dulls8475 There are legitimate comparisons to be made between Hitler and Trump. It's a lazy argument to respond with 'Trump hasn't murdered millions of people therefore there can be no comparison'. Hitler's path to power, his (almost messianic) hold over his followers, the drivers behind that rise to power (Inflation, unemployment, perceived threat to livelihood from immigrants and others, hatred of liberalism, socialism and diversity), disrespect for political and even legal norms, are some of the areas where a comparison can be made. I'm sure there are others if I thought about it further. I could add that both have survived an assassination attempt.

Again, with respect, I think you are taking advantage of people who watch this podcast being under informed. You must know perfectly well that ALL presidents change heads of government departments and government agencies to find those they can work with - these are not permanent positions. Trump did this less than his predecessors when he was POTUS. So feigning outrage that Trump might change heads of government services (broadly styled) is almost as silly as some of Lammy’s tweets. I apologise is I misinterpreted your tone and assumed you were feigning outrage and you merely did not know how the US system works.

Does anyone know if the name Holroyd is related to the name Holyrood?

@billder2655 Месяц назад

I googled it and it seems there’s a couple of origins for the name Holroyd. There’s a Holerode in Sussex recorded in the 13th century, but it also seems that Holroyd is the anglicised spelling of the Irish Ó hAilcheartaidh, or ‘descendant of Ailcheartach’. The English Holroyd is anglo-saxon and is a habitational name meaning ‘hollow and clearing’. Holyrood, however, seems to mean ‘holy cross’, or ‘holy rod’, in reference to a relic known as the True Cross, a supposed fragment of the cross which Christ was crucified on. The surname Holyrood would therefore be a habitational name referring to someone who lives near either the abbey of Holyrood in Ireland or the palace of Holyrood in Scotland. Either way, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious connection between Holroyd and Holyrood.

@saltech3444 Месяц назад

It would be an even more ridiculous claim in that case, because Labour have if anything erred on the side of being apologists for Israel's actions in Gaza. Of course extremists on both sides won't like their attempt at a balanced position, but they actually lost several seats to independents at the general election due to the perception that they were too pro-Israel. The claim that a major UK political party is being controlled by pro-Israel extremists would rightly be condemned as anti-Semitic - the conspiracy theory you appear to support is even more absurd and more vile.
