@MatthewStadlen @mehdirhasan @AzeemRafiq30 I’m more shocked and appalled that so many in America share his views

@mehdirhasan @AzeemRafiq30 It’s deeply sick. There’s no room to be surprised by Trump anymore. But we should never stop being shocked and appalled that he has defiled the Presidency in these ways.

This is the proud language of a white supremacist. There’s no other way to describe it and no defense of it.
Pure racism.

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)
English
Farage thought he was onto a winner with his relationship with Trump
But he got close to a President who shows contempt for law, decency and the truth. And a contempt for the UK.
It’s now a big problem for Farage. And Reform

I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.
Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.
Senator Marco Rubio: Archived@SenMarcoRubio
No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.

This is the key point: Trump doesn't have the power to withdraw the US from NATO, but that's irrelevant - what matters is whether Putin thinks he'd honour the US's treaty obligations
We need to increase defence spending to 3% or more now, not wait until the next Parliament
ian bremmer@ianbremmer
trump can't legally withdraw from nato without senate consent. but if nato members can't trust that the united states will honor article 5, the alliance is already broken in the way that matters most.

Rejoin. Don't mess about. America have put an entirely different slant on what we need to do.

BREAKING: “It is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path our long term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union.. Brexit did deep damage to our economy” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏
English
@jaketapper Proof if you ever needed it that @POTUS and Putin are working together. What the hell has happened to America that you can't kick this incredibly dangerous man to the kerb? The corruption alone should have been a reason, let alone the dismantling of global security
English
Telegraph: Trump was asked if he would reconsider the US’s membership of Nato after the conflict: “Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by Nato. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.” telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

The US pulling out of NATO was part of the plan all along ... Putin’s plan that is. He just got lucky with who he helped to make US president. It really is time for Europe to get serious about the withdrawal of the US from credible global leadership or reliable alliance
English
They're starting to turn on him in a way we've never seen before.

🔥 Farage roasted again by 🇺🇸 Rep Jamie Raskin
“This is the guy that delivered Brexit to the UK. How he shows his face in public after that debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in the history of England?
I cannot imagine a society that produced some of the greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.”
Absolutely 💯

@spikedonline Another twerp to add to the long line of largely male twerps - who obviously don’t mind giving away women’s rights as it makes no difference to them
English
Andrew Garfield’s swipe at the JK Rowling ‘controversy’ was cruel and cowardly in equal measure. He refused to name the author directly or say what she’d actually done wrong. He has embraced trans magical thinking over women’s rights, says Jo Bartosch

“We’re dealing with a President who is a narcissist and a bully… a rebuke of some kind is necessary”
Broadcaster and journalist David Dimbleby says a US State Visit by King Charles “is a misuse of the King” and the UK is “giving Trump more than he deserves”.

@RepPatFallon You need to understand better what NATO if for. When you were attacked on 9/11, you invoked Article 5. You were attacked and we came - in numbers. DJT started a war, didn’t think through his strategy and is now in a mess. It’s not NATO’s job to clear it up.
English
NATO's long-term success depends on its members' cooperation against shared threats.
European allies have known that Iran can cause chaos in the Strait of Hormuz.
What they need to do is act and show they are committed to the alliance as much as they pay it lip service.

👇Difficult to imagine any previous US President speaking about the UK in this way.

President Donald J. Trump announces Their Majesties, the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, will visit the United States for a Historic State Visit from April 27-30th.

@ChrisO_wiki @Martin_Runs Trump leaves, the Strait opens for Europe.
English
It certainly seems like Trump is preparing to TACO and abandon the Strait of Hormuz, leaving others to sort out the mess...
"All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT"
English
@WhiteHouse In other words, come and clean up the mess that I created and don't know how to get out of.

@mehdirhasan Poor Charles and Camilla. The Gov are calling this one wrong. Why bother trying to appease this monster in the White House anymore? It's sending Charles into an unwinnable situation.
English
@campbellclaret Perfect time for the State visit to be cancelled, citing cost of fuel for the plane.
English
So on the day it is announced the King and Queen are to make a State visit to the US the Orange Man Baby goes into full insult mode. Never too late for a change of travel plan Charles. Maybe join the Pope with the poor?
