I think he has finally lost any marbles he had in his tiny little brain!

Christ on a bike just listened to 20 seconds of that drivel, was all I could stomach, surely some serious alarm bells are going off in the GOP by now?!?

The fuck did he just say about Somalians?

I know, awful!!!

suggestionsplease1 · 21/01/2026 14:48

I'm not listening but by the sounds of things I'm glad no one is stopping him and hoping it is a deliberate ploy to allow him full scope to reveal the extent of his lunacy for all to see.

I assume he's not speaking from notes, he's just opening his mouth and letting the contents of his brain fall out?

Goldfsh · 21/01/2026 14:49

I think there are some notes and he reads off those somewhat, but then get bored and starts talking randomly

Yes - I wonder at what point someone would intervene? I feel like there is no point where this would happen.

I feel like one of those giant comedy hooks to pull him off the stage would be a good shout right now.

NATO have no oart in the discussion. The ‘negotiation’ is between the countries involved, and then if Trump attacks they call for assistance under Article 5.

That's the point I'm making, I don't think other NATO countries will respond if article 5 is invoked. NATO members are in a position to make it clear that if Trump invades Greenland they will respond and they haven't.

They have a low IQ ...but don't forget...they were intelligent enough to steal!!! 😲😲😲🤣🤣🤣

Americans on MN what is this leader of yours? Is he on something? It's mental. It's embarrassing. Cringeworthy.

Someone tell him to shut the fuck up.

Goldfsh · 21/01/2026 14:50

I feel sorry for the journalists at the Guardian trying to live blog this. What to say?!

Chorusforpoormortals · 21/01/2026 14:50

Well that was some
segue & then back to the autocue

😃

Ihatetomatoes · 21/01/2026 14:51

A few people actually clapped. WTF must be his entourage and hangers on.

Bloodylovecheese · 21/01/2026 14:51

I hope in the future this speech will be used to show everyone in the world in a 'how not to do it' exercise
I am agog

ShanghaiDiva · 21/01/2026 14:51

It’s a rehash of yesterday’s speech where he stated that Somalia isn’t a country…
so so embarrassing and insulting

123dontcomeatme · 21/01/2026 14:52

Its honestly like being in a parallel universe

SanDimasHighSchoolFootballRules · 21/01/2026 14:52

I can't believe there are people standing up. They're giving a standing O to that, frankly mental, drivel?

Honestly What the fuck?!

Americano75 · 21/01/2026 14:52

Muted applause and people walking out. Hilarious.

Sesquipedahlia · 21/01/2026 14:25

Do they not have the equivalent of sectioning in the US? There must be responsible people there who could action it?

Well he said himself they’re bringing ‘insane asylums’ back - not sure he sees himself as a potential patient though.

Ihatetomatoes · 21/01/2026 14:54

Oh dear he's off again about how wonderful a job hes doing........ verbal diarrhea and then some

PacificState · 21/01/2026 14:54

I know it was a muted response from the audience, but anyone who applauded that who isn’t directly in Trump’s pay should be publicly shamed until they resign

hahagogomomo · 21/01/2026 14:55

@FaceEatingLeopard

it is genius, spot on, that’s my afternoon taken up!

Goldfsh · 21/01/2026 14:55

OMG world war 1 literally ended just because all the boys got poorly

I think they will if they have to. It would be silly to provoke him by saying ‘we’ll fight you’ before it becomes necessary.

hattie43 · 21/01/2026 14:56

The overriding thing I came away with once you’ve stripped aside all the rhetoric and waffle is that he feels the USA is hugely under appreciated . The contribution the USA makes keeps nations safe from Russia , Iran , China . He wants NATO to step up.

Thetreeisdownnow · 21/01/2026 14:56

Could you imagine if any politicians in this country said just one of the offensive things he has just said? The press would be all over it and they’d inevitably be forced to resign. Does that not happen in America??
