I have a feeling that David Dimbleby doesn’t like Donald Trump or his Government that much.

@rN4RzE82xSSg0lT @ClareTa97789912 the nuclear threat from Iran is the big picture here.
English
@ClareTa97789912 I cannot make up my mind on this. Important that someone from Uk (the King) tells congress that we are still allies, but in reality what good will that do, as long as Trump is in charge - we are all doomed? All the trade we do with USA & defence is incredibly important.

David Dimbleby, a rebuke to Donald Trump?
A rebuke
I don’t quite think so.
BBC Newsnight@BBCNewsnight
“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”. #Newsnight
English
@canisgallicus Trump's far from perfect, but he had the courage to remove a impending nuclear threat from an death-cult terrorist state.
Old-school champagne socialists that fronted and guided the BBC like Dimbleby are a big part of why Britain is fast becoming a 2nd-world nation.

#newsnight that was some excellent straight talking from David Dimbleby and completely agree with him on how inappropriate it is for King Charles to visit #Trump at this time when he is busy bombing #Iran to his hearts desire
English
David Dimbleby just gave both barrels to Donald Trump and had Brits everywhere cheering

@BerylWallxx @RoyalFamily Huw Edwards? I thought they were good friends.
English
David Dimbleby was spot on.
What also bothers me, though, is that Charles is willing to meet with a warmongering, delusional paedophile but won’t meet his own son. WTF @RoyalFamily?

"A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...?" David Dimbleby, journalist and presenter, argues against King Charles' planned state visit to the US in April. #Newsnight
English
@johnstephen114 myopic. Trump had the courage to take on a terrorist regime, that has funded and organised terror proxies around the Middle-East. They were perilously close to getting a nuclear weapon. Dimbleby can cry in his champagne in Islington!
English
Brilliant from David Dimbleby. Calling out Trump as a narcissist & a bully. Oh how we need more serious, intelligent broadcasters like him today. #newsnight

@GerryHassan Dimbleby unshackled destroyed Trump the way he should be
English
Good to hear David Dimbleby talk honestly abt the US-UK relationship & saying why should we reward Trump who has been "bullying the UK" & why should the UK Gpvt reward him with a state visit? Disappointed to hear Helena Kennedy prattle the usual establishment crap. #Newsnight
English
@GerryHassan He was 'bullying' Starmer, if we're being picky. And Starmer deserved it.
English
@artaylors Trump showed courage and did what needed to be done and remove Iran's nuclear threat. Obama sent pallet loads of cash.
English
Newsnight narrative seems by panel it's all about future relationships with America, instead of dealing with the idiot that is President, setting themselves for a fall, next to follow will expect the same well David Dimbleby for speaking out #Newsnight

David Dimbleby labels King Charles’ US visit to meet Trump ‘an embarrassment’, urging ministers to call it off trib.al/pMvlkiM
English
@RoogerWilliams @Independent I'm guessing you've rinsed your hair blue.
English
@Independent Trump is also perpetrating war crimes in Iran and supporting a genocide & war crimes in Gaza & Lebanon, so the King and the UK should be isolating from the US until after he appears before the International Criminal Court !
English
@VividRicky Myopic. There is a bully who's held the Middle East hostage with it's terror proxies for many decades. The mullahs are seeking a nuclear bomb and are perilously close to getting one.
One thing I've learned as I get older, is that there's nothing worse than an old fool.
English
“A state banquet?!”
“Whilst he’s bombing the hell out of Iran?!”
“Trump’s gone rogue…he’s a bully!”

@John_ProductDev @plan4reality @RLHeinrichs agreed. They can't be trusted with nuclear weapons. They even fired on their allies - Turkey, Oman, Kuwait etc.
English
@plan4reality @coco___bongo @RLHeinrichs The second Iran shot missiles at Diego Garcia they showed they had capabilities that they otherwise said they didn't have nor didn't have interest, its own stated goals were to middle east affairs only. Those could reach the EU, how much longer until they reached the US?
English
The U.S. shouldn’t accept it. As the world’s strongest superpower, it’s our job to be clear about this.

The international community should not accept a world where international waterways are held hostage by any one party. Closing the Strait is unacceptable as it continues threatening global trade, energy security, and stability. Freedom of navigation must be upheld.
English
@plan4reality @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs Here's an example of the duplicity of the Iranian regime. They promised to only develop ballistic missiles to a 2000 mile range.
Just recently they fired off a missile that reached Diego Garcia - 4000 miles away. Once they attain a nuclear bomb - then that's mainland Europe.
English
@coco___bongo @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs Iran had no ICBMs, no nuclear warheads, & a deal on the table.
Trump needlessly started a war — with no exit, a closed strait, & a global recession — to stop an attack that every intelligence agency said wasn't happening.
What would it take for you to admit Trump has no plan?
English
@plan4reality @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs You sound naïve as hell. Besides the plan was to remove Iran's nuclear ambitions - I think that's been achieved.
English
English
@coco___bongo @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs 3-6 months of Hormuz closed = global recession.
20% of world oil through that strait. You're cheering a war with no exit while your gas, groceries and 401k take the hit. That's not courage. That's someone else paying for your bumper sticker.
English
@plan4reality @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs Who do you believe? Are the Iranians just acting in self-defence?
English
@coco___bongo @John_ProductDev @RLHeinrichs Nuclear programme 'destroyed'? Trump said that last June too. Then they had enough for 11 bombs by February.
The strait's been 'almost open' for weeks. At some point, maybe stop believing the guy who also said Mexico would pay for the wall.
