[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Bozza]

My patience is wearing a bit thin here.

Discuss the subject matter or move somewhere else, please.

With that in mind, the Starmer/Trump stuff could be absolute box office today. The journalists have so many grenades they can lob in, knowing both have differing outlooks, and then stand back to see what happens.

Do you know what time is kick-off is?

CNN strap line says - in the next hour.

Meanwhile back on subject I see that Tangoman tried to cancel his meeting with Zelensky whilst he was mid flight but has been persuaded to keep it by Macron. It's a shame Zelensky can't stick his fingers up to the crook

Chris Mason, on 5Live, said Starmer is due to arrive at the White House at 5:15.

They’ll then do the handshake/arm wrestle before going inside, sitting where Trump snd Macron sat a few days back, and field some informal questions for a few minutes.

They’ll then have their private meeting which may last 1.5-2 hours, before holding a more formal press conference.

I'll try and find a live feed. It has to be better than West Ham v Leicester

We'll find out in a couple of days how the meeting really went I should imagine.

If Mango Unchained comes out with a slew of tarriffs headed our way then safe to assume Starmer pissed him off. Which'll be nice.

I hope in these pressers that Starmer fact checks any of Trumps bollocks in real time in the same way that Macron did.

Hopefully any own goals are reserved for the match

"So how about them Chagos islands"

Would be a great way to start

You would think so but Trump failed to greet Macron outside the White House so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Good start... the Union Flag flying upside down on Blair House

Just hearing on the BBC 'the UK can in no way damage the United States'

Half expecting another Trump AI video

Harry Witchell on R5 now. Rewind if you miss it. Hilarious.

Harry is a Physiologist at U. Sussex and a body language expert.
I've known Harry for years. Very funny bloke.

Trump meets Starmer at the door. Macron didn’t get that “honour”.

I'm just glad we have Lammy there to bring some sanity to the proceedings.

Yes, I just hope if he sees any sign of 'Imperialism' he'll shout.

If the GOP establishment decide that DeSantis is their man things could get interesting. Either way, it's unlikely the fat orange piece of shit will win another Presidential election now that enough boomers have died off from his supporter base. And if by some miracle he does he'll be 79 when he starts his term. And he has to avoid all the law suits coming against him for what he did in his first term.

I'll eat my centenary shirt if he ever ends up as a resident in the White House again.

Not yet on Sky. They’re reporting that Starmer has handed over a letter from King Charlie inviting him for a visit.
