"When even Piers Morgan has taken his head out of Donald Trump's bum far enough to see a glimmer of daylight, then it's fair to say the US president has probably overstepped the mark. Not content with threatening tariffs against the UK and seven EU countries for sending troops to Greenland having previously demanded Nato allies get stuck in to protect the country from Russia and China"
"If this is the new alignment of the rules-based order then the west is falling apart in front of our eyes. Presidents Putin and Xi must be living their best lives. This is everything they dreamed of and more. All their sins can be forgiven and they now have licence to do as they please in Ukraine and Taiwan. And all because the Orange King Baby in the White House is having a temper tantrum at not getting his own way."
Donald Trump's recent actions—threatening tariffs, criticising allies over troop deployments, and angrily contacting foreign leaders—have strained Western unity and emboldened rivals. The ensuing breakdown of customary norms risks giving Presidents Putin and Xi freer rein in Ukraine and Taiwan. Concerns about the president's temperament and medication have been raised amid talk of warlike threats. Domestically, Keir Starmer's policy relaunches on the cost-of-living crisis have been repeatedly disrupted by international events tied to Trump, forcing emergency responses and delaying domestic proposals while living costs continue to rise.
