Bit of a boring one I guess. I'm gonna get the snacks in for me and dd as the coverage starts at 3.30/4pm (UK obs)

I love to watch stuff like this, makes me feel connected to the world 😅🙈

Plus I wanna see if anyone slips up and let's their face show their real thoughts

Plus I'll be making comparisons between barron and Gary barlow's giant son

Can we send Trump to Mars

Westfacing · 20/01/2025 17:34

Now claiming Mars!

They are usually invited though is my understanding?

Starmer wasn't.

No, they aren't. British PMs haven't been to US inaugurations in centuries.

Why does he talk in this monotone, falling style?

Is it his reading style from an autocue?

SauvignonBlanche · 20/01/2025 17:34

I always enjoy watching important world events live and am a total politics nerd but I’d rather pluck my eyeballs out rather than watch this awful event live.

I’ll catch up on the first convicted felon’s inauguration later on C4 News.

Will no doubt need a large glass of wine!

gloriagloria · 20/01/2025 17:34

I really hope Bad Lip Reading do a version of it

Appalonia · 20/01/2025 17:34

He wants to plant The Stars and Stripes on MARS???!!!!😂😂😂😂

Come on, virtue signallers, surely you can do better! Pour more scorn!

HoraceCope · 20/01/2025 17:34

send Trump to Mars

MidnightBloom · 20/01/2025 17:34

Mars is definitely musks doing!!!

Butteredtoast55 · 20/01/2025 17:34

Some of this rhetoric is complete bullshit but I absolutely believe he'll destroy the environment and not give a fuck.

I'm watching - He said that they are going to use their oil and gas and remove electric car policies so they can buy the cars they want.

What is the point of the UK taking any climate change steps when America is doing things like this?

The point is to not add any more effluent into the atmosphere than we can avoid.

This is not a game. We only have one planet and at this rate it will end up like Venus.

Hopefully the trump will actually try to invade Canada and break up the US in the process.

God knows. I do wonder whether the army would actually comply with an order to invade either Panama or Greenland. I'm really concerned that he will go so far that there is a substantial danger of civil war.

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 20/01/2025 17:32

The Gulf of Mexico is becoming the Gulf of America? Did I just hear that right? What an odd thing to fixate on in your inauguration speech.

America doesn’t own it do they? He can’t just decide to call it something else surely. What if Starmer announced America was now called Lugganag 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

3floofs · 20/01/2025 17:35

At least he hasn't mentioned Greenland yet

Moirarosesgarden · 20/01/2025 17:36

He is utterly batty
No class
No morals
Actually no plan
Oh well America just lost all credibility for the next 4 years

Watch their economy absolutely trounce (trump(!) ours over that period though.

IcedPurple · 20/01/2025 17:36

The American Century is at an end, no matter who is president.

This speech will be seen by historians as another stage in the fall of the American empire.

Absolutely not, this is a dark day for the whole world, am dreading the next four years, Trump and Musk (until they have the inevitable massive fall out and go on their separate but still dangerous ways) will now set about causing chaos, further enriching themselves, seeking vengeance and destabilising other countries. I don't want to feel in any way connected with that pair of utter horrors. Did see a clip of the pre-inaguration rally on YouTube and Musk could not string a sentence together, and seeing Trump dancing to the Village People was one of the most surreal and cringe inducing spectacles I have witnessed. Who wants to feel connected to that?
