Interesting that The Stock markets took a dip during Trump’s threat of tariffs against European countries, suddenly announced he’s made a ‘deal’ with NATO over Greenland (really?), Stock Markets rally.
How many shares did he and his cronies purchase over the last few days?.

This fed up with this Orange Numpty saying this 💩
When is someone with a backbone going to call him out on this instead of accepting this drivel.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Not a good idea to address the World Economic Forum with the same 💩 you tell your own people about how good your country is doing, when the people you’re addressing are more in tune with economics than the people who elected you.

Dear USA, your President is behaving like a spoilt brat, he is an embarrassment to your country and making the USA a laughing stock, just saying.

Whilst watching Call the Midwife this evening I innocently mentioned to my wife I never had an epidural for my Prostate Cancer biopsy, the look I received was possibly more painful than the biopsy itself.

As President, Trump could have done so much for the World, but as he is a narcissist all he has done is created unrest, made the World feel more unsafe and created more Wealth for himself and cronies.
I am fed up seeing his bloated Orange face on my TV every day and I don’t even live in the USA.

I am pretty well peeved that it’s not just the USA that has to worry about about Trump but the whole World, I mean we have that idiot Farage to worry about and all those has been politicians that have joined him.
Hopefully we have a higher percentage of voters that can seen through this 💩 than 🇺🇸

If you let Trump get Greenland The Antarctic is next, he is only interested in one thing and one thing only, money, and that is through minerals and oil, he has no interest in anyone but himself.

I now think we are getting to the Stage where we break off the ‘Special relationship’ since Trump is Blackmailing us with tariffs over his obsession with Greenland.
Focus on Europe and Canada
Might also be worth giving US tourists coming into the UK an intelligence test to keep the Riffraff out.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Donald Trump. Giving Trump a royal visit sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. Do you agree? Sign the petition now! 38d.gs/vnb3
Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence
With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...
