Paraphrasing from recorded call:

"UK Policies are insane"

"Your country is being invaded"

"Tragic not to take advantage of the North Sea" (for oil and gas).

"You have the highest energy bills in the world"

"I'd like to see Britain succeed but bad energy policy and bad immigration policy means the worst of both worlds"

I dont think I disagree with anything he said there. Trump in good form.

"The president and I spoke an hour after Buckingham Palace announced details of King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the United States."

Any "No Kings" rallies scheduled toward the end of April?

When Trump fully realizes that Charles is here as a tool of his government and not because he loves and admires The Donald, Trump’s welcoming smile will vanish. He’ll probably cut the visit short, cancel the pomp and circumstance, and remind Charles that 250 years ago we got rid of his lot.

Trump respects the British monarchy but has no time now for The NWO Socialist Boy’s Club of Europe.The axis of Western Power has now shifted, from Western Europe to the Persian Gulf.

This fact has Starmer stuttering.The left? Again having tantrums.

Starmer is only concerned about the latest Bourgeoisie fashions and women’s undergarment. In the same way that Trent Lott attended the senate (wearing fishnet stockings and high heel shoes at night).

History will show that Starmer was the most useless and at the same time, most destructive Prime Minister ever. He is a modern day Nero, exhibiting decadent libertine traits, while the UK burns.

I’ll take a pass on gushing praise of Charles and Camilla. Until about 10 years ago, Charles had a reputation that was about as bad as Andrew’s. He was spoiled, immature and, before the Epstein revelations came out, had done more damage to the Royal Family’s reputation than anyone alive. He married a woman who he didn’t love, had a very public affair and didn’t care that that it humiliated her, and then had bloody-minded publicity war with her. It all did incredible damage to his reputation and the reputation of everyone around him. The others involved weren’t saints either - in retrospect, Diana had dirty hands and her reputation has come down over the years and Camilla did her share of damage notwithstanding the royal PR machines massive efforts to rehabilitate her reputation over the past decade. But the main culprit is Charles. Trump can gush all he wants but Charles is a self-centered fool and an idiot who should not be king. I’d be happy if the British monarchy went away. I’ll settle for the day when William becomes king.

Trump has a blind spot for “royal” charlatans.

As far as I can determine, it goes back from Trump’s early memory of his mother gushing over Queen Lizzie.

This is interesting...

Donald Trump stalls release of Prince Harry's visa records until after King Charles III's state tour, as tensions between the US and UK escalate Prince Harry's long-awaited US visa documents have been quietly delayed- with the timing raising eyebrows ahead of King Charles III's high-profile American visit.

What did Starmer not know, and when did he not know it??

Sky News Video

The government has responded to reports that the Foreign Office overruled the decision on Lord Mandelson’s failed security vetting clearance prior to his appointment as UK ambassador to the US.

A government spokesperson has confirmed this is correct - but said neither Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer or any minister was aware until this week.

Mandelson was sacked in September 2025 after further details emerged about his links to Jeffrey Epstein. He has previously denied any wrongdoing in regard to his relationship with Epstein.
