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?

Thatcher won 3 general elections, so a lot of people clearly didn't dislike her.

Thatcher was head and shoulders above any politician that is around nowadays.

It was a completely different era, she wouldn't manage it these days.

Her housing policy's chickens are now coming home to roost so please don't tell she was wonderful because she bloody well was not.

This. Generational unemployment was a direct result of her industrial policies across swaths of the nation, too.

Yes, appalling he intervened and stopped the war. Enough is enough.

He got a ceasefire. Which is fragile. Saying the war is over is incredibly premature. The ceasefire deal is identical to one proposed by his predecessor. Israel refused it back then because they weren't done destroying Gaza.

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.

Quite.
Biden looked like he was asleep most of the time.
You didn’t know who was pulling the strings.

SerendipityJane · 16/10/2025 13:30

Donald Trump can fuck off.

Maddy70 · 16/10/2025 13:30

Brits don't think anything about trump. Other than he's a paedophile and deranged. I don't know a single person that doesn't think he's thick as shit

You don’t know much about all of this bar what Jeremy Corbyn has been posting, do you?

This is a radical regional peace plan which somehow Trump has managed to pull off and get past every meaningful Middle Eastern leader. This is massive, and it isn’t just about Gaza either - of course we have to pray it holds but saying it’s fragile isn’t a reflection on Trump it’s a reflection on the parties involved. He’s a sexist pig and utterly tactless but what he’s done here is incredible to the extent Pakistan has nominated him for the Nobel.

I suppose you, and all the other Mumsnetters, know better though, much better as you’re cleverer people.

Yep.

I know it hurts the left but they have to take this one in a dignified manner and stop the tantrums.

I don't know why you keep dragging Corbyn into everything...

If Trump gets a lasting peace that doesn't mean fully selling out the Palestinian people then great. Let him have his trinket.

But any talk about the war being over is premature, precisely because of the parties involved. Hamas are terrorist zealots. Netanyahu is so shit scared of jail he would sell out his granny to stay in power. This peace deal is as stable as vintage Semtex. If it holds as long as a year I will be delighted and astonished.

This one really needs a multiple choice vote:

A: Couldn't give a shit
B: Couldn't give a fuck
C: Couldn't give a toss.

So annoying when people ask a Q about a potentially inflammatory subject (big giveaway is they never pose it in the context of their own opinion) then just bigger off as the replies start coming in!

Cleikumstovies · 16/10/2025 13:45

I wonder how much of the gammon outrage is because it's Trump?
If it were Obama or Hilary Clinton would the reaction be different?
Perhaps it's because " wot roight has a fackin forrinah to tell us wots right! Roight?"

Then again a number of British citizens are doing that regularly at their anti Israel marches.

And you are? I’ve had Thatcher Johnson Truss & Cameron in my lifetime & right now Starmer is nowhere near the absolute pits they were. All in their own sweet way.

I take it you are a now a privileged boomer to be thinking like that then.

Everything you post is written in this tone of 'I know better than you how this will turn out'. What are your qualifications to proclaim with such assumed assurance?

Edited

I can’t speak for the other poster even though I agree totally with their words.
However I believe the country, financial and every other way you can think of is at such a perilous state that when a black swan event hits the country will be severely affected.

Well, it's been spun like that, but his people simply delivered Netanyahus's list of demands and concessions to the Hamas negotiators.

It's looking like Israel may break the third cease fire in a row.

Fully educated here. I don't get my news from X or Facebook either
Trump is a controlled puppet for project 2025 and they are now putting their mucky feelers our way, aided by Nigel.

No country does well under right wing fundamental Christian control.

We have the NHS, women have access to healthcare, we have workers rights, we have rights for disabled people. Are any of those perfect? Far from it, but if you think any of that will be better under Trumps influence you are either uneducated or deliberately ignorant

Fuck Donald Trump

And you think any country does well under Islamic fundamentalism.

In our own lifetimes we have seen how that has played out in other countries.
So much for women’s right etc there.

Neither the UK or USA are under Islamic fundamentalism.

Mind you Project 2025 is not far off

SapphireSeptember · 16/10/2025 14:21

MoFadaCromulent · 15/10/2025 23:28

Erosion of freedom of speech
Unilateral criminalisation of constitutionally protected expression he disagrees with

Erosion of states rights
Erosion of due process

Also an erosion of workers' rights, not that they were great to begin with.
Defunding or completely shutting down various government agencies.

TotesAmazeballss · 16/10/2025 14:21

Oh yeah Trump wuvvss us soo much!

So do Eyeliner Vance and Nazi Elon. They're the bestest masters ...sorry... daddies ...sorry... men in the whole wide world!

It's probably easier to google for yourself (and I don't say that often) but it's a Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a renewed conservative America that Trump said was unknown to him

‘Let him have his trinket’ - you sound utterly begrudging at the thought of this actually happening. Truly.
