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?

Well said.

Trump is angry over a lot of things, most of which are unture.

All infinitely more competent and less dangerous than the absolute shower of a government we are currently suffering under.

Is this one of those Quora posts that keep popping up because I once clicked on an article about the statue of liberty

Except they didn't. And neither did you, not any other countries president.

Our great and mighty UK's response was to let people stand on a street corner and wave some flags about.

Trump actually went there and stopped it, and got the hostages released.

And your point about "Americas standing" proves my point. His leadership has established the US a country that others take notice of.

In one post they are incompetent, then the next that follows they are smart enough to be 'engineering' a financial crash. Mixed views there.

"How do Mumsnetters feel when Americans import their Glady questions from Quora just to wind up the Britishers?"

We generally think Trump is a bell end, and that you lot have lost your fucking minds as a nation.

I mean, it's Trump. So nobody really expects much sense out of him, do they?

I remain astonished that the Americans would choose to put someone like that in power, but I am not remotely surprised now by anything that comes out of his mouth. Most of us are used to the nonsense by this point.

Thank God for Trump saying what needs to be said, and what a lot of us are thinking.

Nonsense!

🤢 but also 😂

Starmer is the most disliked PM we’ve ever had. He’s a tw*t. Trump can see right through him.

The only thing he is protective of is himself, his power and his wealth. Doesn't give a shit about anything or anyone else. Where did you get such a crackbrained idea?

Trump likes Andrew Tate.
And blamed Ukraine for the war with Russia, tried to bully them and treated Zelensky rather poorly, while pandering to his god Putin.
He is also bestie with Netanyahu, who handles him like a puppet (same as he did with Biden), including on issues that involves the US army getting tangled in wars.

Do we have to say anything else?

I do not agree with 100% of what Starmer does and says, and he is taking the mick with the digital ID thing. But UK can chose its own representatives, thank you. This is still a democracy and Trump does need to learn to respect the representatives of sovereign countries. He is rather short on that. US has fully given up on diplomacy and I think they will end up paying a price for that.

Yep he is disliked regardless of what Trump does.

I've missed this. How does he think Starmer has mistreated the 'British people'?

It still amazes me that so many people seem to have sleep walked through the past 14 years.

Is there a link to an article of Trump saying this ? I know he said something about immigration is destroying Britain and Keir needs to slash taxes

Would prefer trump over useless starmer any day

Huh?

We don't need a convicted felon to feel "protective" of us. We have deep sympathy for the rational citizens of the USA for having to live under such a presidency, but he was democratically elected and is entitled to rule the USA for the time being. He is not entitled to assume that any Brits care about his opinions though.

Starmer isn't perfect but he was also democratically elected in free elections and gets to lead the UK for the time being. Whilst I don't agree with all his policies and some of them are to my personal disadvantage that doesn't mean I am being mistreated or persecuted. I don't have a problem with policies that take more from those with above-average means for the benefit of those who are most needy and vulnerable. Whether Starmer does a good enough job of this will be determined at the next general election.

It's important to be conscious of subtext. When I hear someone say people like me are are being mistreated, I examine their motivations for why they are trying to make me feel hatred and fear. When I hear them direct the blame in a particular direction, I wonder what they are trying to distract my attention from.

I’m glad Trump is paying attention to what’s happening here. Certainly more than a lot of posters on here can be paying.Yes Trump is, er, being generous- unlikeable, but he has the measure of our useless PM and the dangerous stupidity of our government. Your TDS won’t save you when you post some wrongthink and the police come to the door.
It’s possible to be a “twat”, and still be 100% right.

He's called himself a twat then?

In what way? Talk me through this thought. You do remember Liz Truss was on the verge of blowing apart final salary pensions at the point the Conservative grandees stepped in? And that many people are still paying higher mortgages as a result, every month?

What a politician says, and what a politician thinks, are two very different things.

Trump feels very protective of the Brits

I think your autocorrect has misspelled "manipulative".

Anyway, the US Federal government he's allegedly leading is not even functioning (literally shut down) at the moment; shouldn't Trump be working on that rather than backseat driving other world leaders' jobs?

The police showing too much interest in our social media feeds needs fixing - definitely. But the US should get its own house in order. Not that it intends to - it’s spinning misrepresentations about the U.K. so its citizens don’t look as closely at their own stats.

So - knife crime in London is a problem but all other stats on crime in the US are far higher.

The NHS is expensive but Medicare / Medicaid is more expensive per capita and most taxpayers don’t even have access to it

The free speech thing is pure “look over there! Not over here! Vance is a lawyer so quite intelligent enough to understand our court reporting laws, which put temporary restrictions on what can be said when a trial is underway. He just chooses to spin it - while in the US you can get your personal phone checked on entry to the country in case you’ve been unpleasant about Trump on social media - something unimaginable here.

I just wish MN would do more to stop these "plop and run" threads.

The OP posts something controversial usually with faux ignorance, gets everyone riled up and never posts again.
