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?

Really?
Worse than Cameron who allowed Brexit to happen and has damaged our economy for decades.
Worse than Johnson? Who lowered our reputation across the world and allowed wide spread corruption deepening mistrust in out political system paving the way for Farage.
Worse than Truss who caused a worsening of our financial situation.
Unless you are a bit dim you will falm for the right wing presses rhetoric.

A lot worse. You will see how this plays out over time. I can assure you it won’t be pretty.

I feel that Trump can fuck off to the far side of fuck, keep fucking off until he gets back here, then fuck off again.

A classic Mumsnet response which isn’t used nearly as much as it should. Wholly appropriate use of it.

Can’t believe some people are defending a rapist - I don’t care about whatever a rapist thinks.

Athreedoorwardrobe · 16/10/2025 00:02

I feel like you are massively buying into some propaganda there.
I don't think Trump gives a single fuck about anyone aside from who can generate money or power for him.
I dislike Starmer but I dislike Trump even more than that.
I think Starmer gives a bit of a fuck about the UK but I also think he's inept.
Trump is worse than inept.. I think he's genuinely a narcissistic psychopath.

Are you sure what gets played out over time isn't that Brexit has damaged our economy by reducing our income from our largest trading company and increasing the cost of imports?
I mean even Farage admits that.

How about:
a) he's a sex offender,
who
b) is helping out his sex offender buddy by moving her to a nicer jail and sending his officials to go have chats with her about what she can do for him.

If you want things which actually look vaguely like government policies, rather than like a personal protection racket, then you could start with his sending troops onto the streets of the US to act against US citizens – but only in Democrat areas. He's been doing it with the National Guards so far, which has been (IIRC successfully) challenged in court because calling out the National Guard is the state governors' prerogative except in very limited circumstances. But he gave a speech to the US armed forces a week a or two ago saying he's planning to send the US army against US citizens too.

Although "the man's an idiot" is also true...

Proving my point nicely thank you

A twat who ended the war in Palestine.

No other word leader achieved that.

Levels below that in part due to the length of time they’ve got ahead of them which will only serve to make it almost impossible to recover from what they’ve caused for a very long time indeed.

The social and economic collapse they are engineering will be irreversible in many of our lifetimes.

I so agree with this and it’s scary others can’t see it or many then can and it’s too scary to even contemplate.

shhblackbag · 16/10/2025 00:50

Trump feeling protective of anyone is hilarious. He gives zero fucks about anyone but himself. And possibly Barron. Possibly.

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.

I would say that the masked thugs tear gassing elementary schools is just one thing to object to.

Then there's the corruption, Trump increased his net worth by $3bn in the last year. I'm not a fan of that either.

I don't particularly support the idea of annexing Canada or Greenland. I don't know about you though.

It's a long list and I haven't got all night.

Literally any leader of America could have achieved that. It's about Americas standing not Trump. And it's not really over is it let's be honest now.. it's just paused.

Doesn't look very "ended" at the moment.

And ultimately the Israelis only agreed because they had already blown everything to smithereens so what was the point of continuing? And Hamas only agreed because they had already been blown to smithereens so what was the point of continuing?

Three Hamas fighters stand guard in Gaza. They are wearing balaclavas and armed with assault rifles.

Trump demands Hamas disarm, as group moves against 'collaborators' in Gaza

BBC Verify analyses footage of Hamas fighters in Gaza, including one of an execution in the centre of Gaza City.

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.

Trump made Starmer look like even more of a pathetic fool than we already knew he was. For that we should be grateful.

The UK has the worst leader and government it has ever had. It is so bad it is almost not believable.

You have an astonishingly short memory!

Liz Truss, Boris the lying bastard Johnson???
