How do Brits feel about the fact that President Donald Trump is angry at Kier Starmer for how he is mistreating the British people because Trump feels very protective of the Brits?

It’s not rape or anywhere near as bad but Corbyn’s ex wives complain about their treatment when married to him and nobody gives a fuck and still sees him as Santa!

Liz Truss? Seriously? Liz "Don't do That, You'll Crash the Economy " Truss?

Yep, I agree.

What makes me laugh is virtually every Islamic Middle Eastern leader approves of him and the way in which he brokered the end of the war, yet middle class white Mumsnet users will confidently proclaim from their keyboards that he’s a white supermacist hellbent on global destruction.

Show quote history

Both things can be true. Let’s give him credit for his intervention in the Middle East (while not pretending his motivation was anything other than a bid for the Nobel Peace Prize) by all means. He’s still a white supremacist who tries to interfere in countries that are fuck all to do with him.

Which is hardly surprising, given Donald's Trump's first wife Ivana states that he raped her.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Trump's longterm close advisor and one-time chief of staff Steve Bannon was charged with domestic abuse and dissuading a witness, for allegedly attacking his wife, leaving red marks on her neck, and for intimidating her into not pursuing the case.

You think comparing standard business deals to domestic abuse is remotely appropriate?

I mean, this actually is Trump is an nutshell. Perpetually setting fire to things and then playing the hero if he even partially puts them out.

So many totally uneducated people on mouthing off on here as usual. I'm glad we have Trump paying attention to what's going here in the UK. We need all the help we can get.

Yep, I agree.

We got off very lightly with this and our trade deal is much better than the EU’s. You may not like it but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

I feel that Trump is a would-be fascist who wants us to be fascist too, and we must not let him influence our internal politics.

I'm not a particular fan of Starmer, but he's infinitely better than Trump.

Increased tariffs, making exporting goods from Britain to the USA isn't something to be grateful for, in my opinion.

This. It’s interesting when I ask people which particular trump policies they object to the answer I usually get is ‘the man’s an idiot’, ‘the man’s a racist’. They don’t have a clue - just repeating msm rhetoric.
We should all be grateful trump is fond of the UK. It’s what got us the trade deal with the US.

Yeah, the "Similar threads" list for this thread is fascinating!

I assume they're not chosen by a human but an algorithm is picking up similarities.Grin

Btw, this must be the first time I’ve seen a vanishing poster not being arsed to add ANYTHING to the body of their OP beyond an ‘x’. Confused

Feels like a new low for MN. Even bots are way more hard-working than this.

@Butchyrestingface There's a few. They're mostly about Trump and the Queen. One of them is showing on the similar threads bit at the bottom of this

Trump is half British. His mums first language was Scottish, and she didn't speak English until she was 14 apparently.

Trump is also very good at amplifying the feeling that some people have that the life living is not fair, and using that to find scape goats. I would say he is one of the best in the world at it which is an important skill in a politician.

He is also the only person who could get fascist leaders around the table if incentivised enough. If that skill can be used to bring about a cease fire, then I suggest that someone is doing some great string pulling at the White House.

Edited

Scottish is not a language! She was a native Gaelic speaker but would have been educated in English from 5 years old. My DM had aunts who went to school on one of the Scottish islands and there was no Gaelic allow at school at all or they would have been caned/belted, not even to ask to go to the bathroom. Teaching in Gaelic is a very recent phenomena.

And in a further commitment to free speech and freedom of the press in the US, Trump calls the press “disruptive to world peace", and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demands journalists sign a promise "not to seek or publish any information the Pentagon hadn’t pre-approved."

Almost every major media outlet, including Fox News, has just walked out of the Department of Defense.

“To agree to not solicit information is to agree to not be a journalist,” said The Atlantic’s Nancy Youssef, who’s covered the Pentagon since 2007. “Our whole goal is soliciting information.”

Number 1 rule of Donald Trump. Every accusation is a confession.

We’re just fine here thanks. It might not be amazing but it’s the most competent government we’ve had in at least a decade and it isn’t like there is anyone else competent waiting in the wings from any party. Not charismatic but reasonably safe is as good as it’s going to get for now.
