I think he has finally lost any marbles he had in his tiny little brain!

I don't think he ever found the plot, we are listening to the ramblings of a lunatic

Totally. On a massive stage. Will no Americans stand up to their leader.

It’s absolutely fucking insane. I was listening on the radio and thought he sounded exhausted and a lot croakier than usual so got it up on my phone and I’ve been goggling at it.

It’s admirable how he can talk barely pausing for a breath but the content is just mind boggling. Europe needs to give him Greenland back as a thank you gift for the second would war? Were the Japanese trying to take Greenland as he said?!

How long was this scheduled to last? Who’s on next and who’s meant to be hosting? Does anyone know?

crystalcarringt0n · 21/01/2026 14:33

I really really wish they would occasionally cut to the audience…

Ihatetomatoes · 21/01/2026 14:32

They are all sat there listening to him drone on and on ...... madness

Shakeoffyourchains · 21/01/2026 14:31

How can any one listen to him here and think "yup, that's the leader for me"?

I was just texting about this. It would be comical if he wasn't the leader of the Free World.

All those ungrateful little countries and Prime Ministers 😅.

Bibi, stop claiming the dome 😅.

Putin calling him to marvel at his war-ending prowess 😅.

President Xi being so impressed by him 😅.

Go on daddy! 🤣🤣🤣

He's completely batshit. Sadly, he's also the US president. What has America unleashed on the world. They taken a vile, narcissist individual who waffles on and on and on about himself the president. What were they thinking 🤔

The only member of NATO that's ever triggered article 5 was the USA after 9/11. And NATO responded, sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. And hundreds (thousands?) of lives were lost over there.
And now this be-wigged wotsit has the nerve to stand there and tell the WEF that NATO wouldn't help the USA if it was attacked.

He's beyond contempt.

LostThestral · 21/01/2026 14:31

I wonder is JD Vance is just as batshit, have noticed him pulling the odd face during some of Trump's speeches, like he didn't have a clue that batshittery was about to come out of his mouth

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 21/01/2026 14:30

Sadly our society values money above everything and equals wealth with moral virtue. Rich people are good, to be copied, listened to and admired. It follows that the richest person is the best person and the one that should rule the country and the world.

It doesn't matter what Trump does or says. He is rich and powerful and the majority of people who vote think that qualifies him to do exactly as he pleases. The rich know better, right?

What a world we live inSad

This is extraordinary to listen to.

lonelyplanetmum · 21/01/2026 14:28

Are any Americans still in support of him.

Although his approval rating has dropped hugely it still remains at around 45% apparently. So what’s that still about 70 million people?

johntorodesfatcheeks · 21/01/2026 14:25

Come on guys see sense. If it wasn’t for the US we’d all be speaking German and a little bit of Japanese now

That’s just not true.

BurnTheWholeThingDown · 21/01/2026 14:27

This medications ramble is genuinely batshit. He’s lost the plot.

LavenderBlue19 · 21/01/2026 14:26

He's got stuck in a loop on this 'no no no' prescription cost thing. It really does sound like dementia.

Alexandra2001 · 21/01/2026 14:16

He is just wittering on and on, should be in a Care Home

He started out marginally sane talking about the US economy, then took a 40 minute detour to reprimand and threaten just about everyone known and unknown 🤦🏾‍♀️.

And the little conversations he's recalling? He's neither safe nor sane.

Sesquipedahlia · 21/01/2026 14:25

Do they not have the equivalent of sectioning in the US? There must be responsible people there who could action it?

Thank you for alerting me to this insanity. What the fuck are the Republican party on, allowing this to continue?

What has JD Vance been putting in his morning porridge?

Crack, Go go juice, and a cubic F-fon of Kool-aid!

Did he just call Greenland Iceland twice?! At least know the name of the country you are threatening to invade

Yup. He doesn’t have a clue

And after the mastery of Mark Carney yesterday.

Did you see him looking at the leaders when he said “a few enemies?” 💀 He’s crazy. Proper little dictator.

He couldn't even name the enemies!

Canada needs to beef up its forces!

Are we inside a computer simulation & the aliens are bored? :)

I wonder if David Beckham can offer tips in the Q&A?
