Fix your country, Trump tells Starmer

Donald Trump told Sir Keir Starmer to straighten out the UK as the rift between the two leaders over Greenland and the Chagos Islands deal deepened.

The US president suggested on Tuesday night that Sir Keir and France’s Emmanuel Macron were two-faced. Mr Trump said: “[They] treat me well. They get a little bit rough when … I’m not around, but when I’m around, they treat me very nicely.”

Mr Trump said he would snub an emergency meeting of the G7 that Mr Macron had proposed could take place in Paris. The US president suggested his French counterpart would not be around “much longer”.

“Emmanuel is not going to be there very long. And you know, there’s no longevity there. He’s a friend of mine. He’s a nice guy. I like Macron, but, but he’s not, he’s not going to be there very much longer,” he said.

Mr Trump was due to depart for the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday night, hours after renewing his threat to take Greenland and criticising Sir Keir’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius as “an act of stupidity”.

The US president said “London is having a lot of problems”, when asked how he would characterise his relationship with the Prime Minister.

“They’ve [Starmer and Macron] got to straighten out their countries. London is having a lot of problems,” the president told reporters.

Earlier on Tuesday, European leaders hit back at Mr Trump, warning against bullying on the world stage and calling for appeasement of the US president to end.

GOOD JOB, Mr President!

Macron looks hungover in those BLUE sunglasses…..covering his two black eyes.

It may be beyond Keir Starmer’s ability to do much of anything to “fix” Great Britain, as he has neither the will nor gumption to undertake that task. And he sure does not have the skills.

England persevered for centuries as an empire, because the men who controlled the government were hard-boiled and at times ruthless. That, alas, is no longer the national ideal for Englishmen.

Starmer to Trump: Sorry Mister Trump but Britain is now shattered beyond all repair. By the way could you see your way to lending an old friend a couple of billion? People want to eat.
