Trump went to Britain hoping for tea with the royals. Instead, he got a full English breakfast of public humiliation, extra beans on toast.

The crowds weren’t waving flags, they were waving receipts — every climate denial, every grift, every “perfect call” replayed like a bad karaoke night. And Channel 4 turning his lies into a binge-watch event? That’s just savage.

And so richly deserved. Thank you, Britain, for doing what’s become downright dangerous for us to attempt at home.

If only we had a “fourth estate” that didn’t just totally cave to our charlatan in Chief. Now they all just serve as the Emperor with no clothes’ royal jesters.

The fourth estate is fully captured by the communists. How many of them were gloating that an innocent man was assassinated just last week?

Another three schoolchildren died of gun violence on September 10, 2025, in the Colorado town where I lived when I turned 21. Two of them were innocent and I believe the third was corrupted at least in part by folks like the guy shot in Utah after repeatedly saying that some shooting deaths were an expected and acceptable price to pay for his warped interpretation of the Second Amendment. I do not expect you to agree, but we must both accept each other’s right to the opinions we have expressed here.

From T’s first time running for Potus:

“Why do most British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

Very well done. A True description of the Ass Clown of America. I definitely have to Wonder when he was Standing at the Royal Buffet Table and reading his Speech, when he thanked The Prince and Princess of Wales, if he was in his mind thinking"How Much for the Little Girl"! Such a Creepy tiny little Man(Debatable).

The Brits know Donald Trump is unfit to hold any public office. They know Trump pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—attacked a Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Some of these criminals are now Trump’s Gestapo—ICE deployed bounty-hunters directed by Donald Trump to ignore due process, kidnap People of Color, and make them disappear before the Courts can learn of their existence.

Trump has appointed leaders of his failed 1/6/2021 Insurrection to major posts in his criminal administration. His MAGA base includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court. It includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet. It includes hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his Sycophants, and the crimes they have committed—and continue to commit.

Sometimes a body gets what it deserves. It would be great if Americans welcome the Orange Nazi with equal or harsher disdain.

Don't be afrais! We own the Military. If he starts his usual shit just demand he be forbidden entry to Our Whitehouse! After all, we own the government! Remember?

Of the People, by the People, for the People? That's us!

Criminals are not welcome in Our Government.

Thank you for reading.
