So the latest from Trump is that the UK and other European countries should go to the Straits of Hormuz and fight for their own oil because he isn’t going to help them anymore if they don’t help him.
So a quick translation of Trump speak for yourself -

I started an illegal war and don’t know how to get out of it so am blaming everyone else and expecting them to clean up the mess I made.’

Well Trump is not alone. Most of the UK mocks Starmer, he is disastrously mockable.

In your humble opinion!

Starmer’s ratings have increased somewhat thanks to his calm and measure approach with Trump.

Trump also mocks women and the disabled, is that also to be admired?

Well now, inevitably, a US plane (cost: 75 million pounds - see BBC newsfeed) has been shot down, and another claimed to be targeted: one of the two crew has been rescued, one is missing, and Iran are after him of course.

How much more will the US public take?

Hes now attacking democrat run states, claiming fraud. This was not unexpected but is a forerunner of the results of the mid terms which are forecast to favour Democrats massively. Trump tells you what he's going to do before he does it. He will not accept the results of the midterms and will shout fraud, then make an executive order banning Democrats. And his dictatorship will continue
