U.S. President Donald Trump said "this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with" regarding the UK's approach to the Iran war.

    I’m so happy he is not happy. America is very good at starting wars and then letting everyone else deal with the consequences.

    Churchill would have also told Trump to do one. He was not known for his lack of candour. The UK was at war with Germany before the Americans got involved so I don’t know what trump’s talking about. The US joined the UK on that one.

    Why would Churchill get the UK involved in a war that didn’t already affect the UK?

    Of course knowing any of this would require Trump to have actually read a history book which is probably where the issue starts.

    Trump: **adopts fascist policies, sets up a militia to target minorities, and illegally invades other countries**

    Also Trump: Please, Kier, be more like Churchill

    I’m not sure what he’s expecting here

    So a couple months ago when he needed to make noises like “USA! USA!” he moaned about NATO and claimed the UK never really helped in Afghanistan, and now that he actually wants help in his illegal war he is moaning about us not letting him use our resources?

    Piss off, you old fat paedophilic cunt.

    Maybe Starmer has realised that the best thing for his approval rating is to be disliked by Trump.

      I was saying this the other day. The best way Zack can get elected is to stand on a platform of pissing off Trump. Even reformer voters aren’t hugely in favour of Trump.
