If you want a one line summary of the Trump Putin summit and its effect on Ukraine, you can't do better than Tacitus: They make a desert and they call it peace

I Trump had been President in the 1940s he'd have allowed Hitler to keep Poland, France and Czechoslovakia. He'd have also stood by until half the jews had been killed. Then demanded the Nobel Prize.

Couldn't happen over here on the UK. Churches are charities and charities can't endorse a political party candidate

Happy 4th of July Americans from a Brit. Sorry you've got such a God awful President, Congress and Supreme Court. Things will get better one day, hopefully

As a Brit I've been looking at the UK USA trade. Thank God we don't have to import your chlorinated chicken.

Britain exported 102000 cars to the USA in 2024. Do you seriously think they were all Rolls Royce? You rightly complain when Trump imposes tariffs. You can't then complain when he reduces them.

Or maybe Trump's imposed tariffs on Diego Garcia because Diego sounds Mexican
athopkinson.bsky.social (@athopkinson.bsky.social)
Trump's imposed tariffs on the British Indian Ocean Territory. It's got no native population. The only people there are the American and British military on the largest island, Diego Garcia. So, he's imposed tariffs on US troops.

Seen a post on Instagram about how to protect yourself when crossing US border. Easy, don't visit America whilst Trump's president, especially if you look South American and have tattoos

I keep reading that Trump is keen to get the Noble Peace Prize for ending the war in Ukraine, and it's not yet April Fools Day. "They make a desolation and they call it peace."

I'm confused. Trump thinks it's OK for rioters to attack the Capitol but not for students to protest? Whilst I'm here, to trump is British slang for to fart. Can we start calling him Donald J Fart?

Are American teenage boys worried that if Trump carries on the way he is, their imaginary Canadian girlfriends will dump them?

Two comments. Don't presidents swear to uphold the Constitution. Trump appears to have forgotten his oath. Secondly, Hitler introduced oaths of Loyalty to himself

The US exports $4 billion worth of beef a year. Whose going to want to import it now.

King Charles of Britain is also King of Canada. So when Trump visits Britain, how will he explain his wish for America to take over Canada to the King?

I think Britain should rename the Gulf of America the Gulf of King George the Third

I bet you a whole dollar that Hegseth will prove so useless that he'll be gone in six months. I'll even go wild and bet another dollar that Trump's tarrifs will lead to high prices so the Democrats will sweep the board at the mid terms

Anyone wondering why Trump's economic policies will be a disaster should read about the effects of the Smoot Hawley Act

Being British , I was taught that we lost the American War of Independence. It feels more like a lucky escape these days. Trump is an amoral rapist whose economic policies will bring misery to America.
