Why so upset about UK (lack of) involvement?

If the US armed forces are the greatest military force ever assembled, as we’re led to believe, why is Trump getting so angsty about the UK and Europe not getting involved? Surely he doesn’t need us.

Also, if our aircraft carriers are toys and we’re generally a bit rubbish, as he suggests, why would he want our help anyway?

It’s really got under his skin.

AIBU to think he’s just talking a load of old bollocks?

You should have 100% in agreement as Trump talks 100% bollocks on a daily basis.
There is no one on this planet that equals his mind numbing stupidity and ability to have the world hate you for just waking each day.

If we're annoying Trump then we're doing something right. May we never join his brainless campaign of destruction.

I think there’s some kind of elections coming up in America, and President Fart wanted to be out of Iran before then, as it’s unpopular with voters. Unfortunately for him there is no way out currently, so he’s stamping his foot like a toddler having a tantrum.

He’s soon going to have to release the full Epstein Files to distract us from his war.

Trump doesn’t cope with rejection so he’s goading Starmer. His comments about our military equipment are embarrassing but it seems to be par for the course with him. Much of his behaviour reinforces my opinion that there are too many leaders in this world who have been given far too much power.

I’m surprised that people are still coming to the conclusion that Trump is talking bollocks. Obviously he’s talking bollocks.

He thinks he’s the dogs bollocks and that everyone will happily agree with him. His ego genuinely thinks he’s done this great thing and other countries would see this amazing act and follow suit. If we don’t follow suit it’s because we don’t have the strength.

What is actually happening is other countries are watching as the US over-exerts its military presence (Venezuela, Iran) plus the additional threats of Cuba and Greenland. US citizens are seeing prices of everyday items continue to go up. The war is also costing an estimated $2bn a day so the US needs other countries to come in and provide land support before it bankrupts the US. For every other country (and many US citizens) it’s like watching a slow motion car crash knowing there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

He is as mad as a box of frogs.

He genuinely believes that what he is doing is right and can’t get his head round the fact that pretty much the rest of the world thinks he is absolutely stark raving mad.

His ego has taken a knock and he's realised that he's standing alone while everyone peers at him with a weird look on their faces and he looks like a cock.

He really believes that he's the best thing ever and just can't fathom not having back up.
