Can’t wait to see this fact checking in real time
How can Starmer sit there and pretend to like this idiot
Trump dropping “trust, but verify” in regard to Putin…seriously? I thought Reagan was the hero of Republicans. Trump is pissing on his grave.
> A lot [of fentanyl] comes through Canada.
Not really. A lot more goes into Canada from the US than comes into the US from Canada. So what do you have to say about that? Can’t say I’m sorry about shattering your world view, Orange Man.
“I have a very good relationship with President Putin”
Fucking moron.
0.2% of fentanyl seized is coming through Canada.
0.2%.
Where is President Elon?
I fucking hate watching these prime ministers sucking up to this narcissistic, ignorant fuckwad.
He really just said “Could you take Russia by yourselves?”
Watching it on CBC and I love that CBC is fact checking his claims on the fly lmao
He’s got dementia – doesn’t remember half the things he says – doesn’t remember that he called Zelensky a dictator.
The absolute disrespect for everyone’s that not on his crook circles is real
Trump-“We’ve been the strongest of allies for hundreds of years”
** remembers the war of 1812 and the burning of the white house *”
reporter – “do you still think Zelensky is a dictator?”
Trump – “Did I say that? I don’t believe I said that”
They should kiss
“Rare earths” is such an awkward term to use.
I do love that Trump essentially holds photo ops- not actual real discussions. Cabinet meeting? Nah- press filled junket.
He doesn’t seem to meet with anyone or do much just make weird speeches and look “tough” for the camera.
All I see is The British PM, Vice President Trump trailing some little bearded fuckwit right-wing lacky by his side, but where is President Musk? Surely he should be there…
Maybe it was the feed I was watching but they showed the British PM maybe 10% of the time
I don’t want to be rude but it really looked like trump couldn’t read that note from the King and asked the PM to read it for him.
If Churchill was still around and PM I guarantee he’d be doing exactly the same as Starmer rn but slagging Trump off in private while knocking back his 12th gin and tonic of the day.
This is realpolitik, you make the best of the hand you are dealt. I think Starmer is doing alright personally

Reporter: Will you be discussing AUKUS?
Trump: What does that mean?
Reporter: The Australia U.S. Defense alliance?
The president should know what alliances his country is apart of
More sucking up to Trump.
Starmer is really playing up to Trump’s want to be a peacemaker
This is a great leader. He’s sucking up to trump but calling Putin the aggressor. Luckily trump is actually too stupid to see he’s getting played. Thank you UK.
Fucking hell, Starmer is walking the fine line perfectly.
Really proud to see Starmer handle this how he is. He gets a lot of flak but it’s reassuring watching him speak
He’s not answering the question about consumers having to pay these tariffs.
> God, love, family, wife…they’re all my favorite words
I think you mean “man, woman, person, camera, TV”
God, love, family, wife are his best words. Incredible
watch how Starmer constantly writes notes down.. Trump just goes off the cuff.
says slot about the difference between them
Do any other world leaders constantly bad mouth their predecessors like Trump does?
And in front of other world leaders?
UK reporter not playing along
The PM didn’t answer the question about Trump calling Zelensky a dictator.
He thinks Gaza would be a very beautiful neighborhood.
Did I hear that right?
Starmer is doing well
Starmer honestly couldn’t be doing better rn
hahahah just now Trump and Starmer just left the room and I heard some clapping, camera panned and it was his cabinet applauding while everyone else sat silent.
Starmer nailed that, 10/10
Well damn, I’m once again reminded how nice it is to have a proper statesman at the helm in the UK. He handled that perfectly.
no one’s talking about it, but was there any substance here? I watched the whole thing and all I got out of it was, “we’re going to keep meeting and talking and stuff. Formal visits and maybe a mineral rights deal, maybe not.”
Very, very good by Starmer. The frothing Reform and Tory idiots in the UK will be apoplectic.
Starmers’ answer for the Canada question rubbed me the wrong way, but overall, I thought he did really well. Couldn’t have gone much better than that.
Good job by Starmer to represent the best interest of British citizens.
God it has to be so awkward for world leaders to do these. You never know what the idiot might say and you have to diplomatically handle any word vomit he might do because he is such a delicate baby that if you offend him he’ll be talking about 100% tariffs tomorrow
UK can we trade
I have always heard convicted felons were refused entry into the UK. Can anyone with more knowledge comment on this situation?
Trump got spanked as soon as he was lying through his teeth as usual. Just like ow Macron corrected him.
