Trump: I got along very well with Putin. I get along great with Xi. I got along great with Kim Jong Un. I got along great with all of them.
Fact check: True. Trump gets along with autocrats and dictators—less so with leaders of democratic countries.
Well that is quite some slap in the face for all those who British Soldiers who fought alongside their close Allies when they were needed… he really is a very nasty piece of work isn’t he?
Nick Ferrari: Did Trump & Vance bully Zelensky
Farage: Very unwise to tell the US what would happen to them.. he played it badly
NF: Is it right to ask him why he's not wearing a suit
F: I'd make sure I was wearing a suit
NF: Churchill
F: He wasn't dealing with Trump

@RoyalFamily Your Majesty, I implore you to revoke your gracious invitation to the President of The United States after his disgusting treatment of the President of Ukraine. We Europeans must unite and stand firmly with Ukraine and turn against all evil. @GOVUK@10DowningStreet
With utter horror - we must not forget what this sort of behaviour sets the scene for! The world is in peril, let’s hope Americans rise up against this evil administration and quickly!
This is not an acceptable response from the UK Government. Keir Starmer and his team cannot stick their heads in the sand and pretend the spectacle we've all just witnessed didn't happen. This will become a serious political problem for them if they try to hold this line.
Staggering to listen to the exchange this afternoon in the White House which was simply disgraceful. The Ukrainian people and their brave President deserve so much more than this bullying.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.
This pair of absolute thugs berating, bullying & humiliating Zelensky because he won’t roll over for a dictator whose forces have invaded his country, raped & murdered his people, bombed hospitals, killed children & filled mass graves in the forests.
What a vile pair they are.
Putin and his murderous thugs are watching this and laughing their heads off. Trump and Vance are singing his songs at the top of their voices. “This is going to be great television” says Trump. All he cares about. Was talking to Michael Woolf earlier today. “You have to remember he is a reality TV star,” he said. “All he cares about is attention. And together get ratings you need conflict, conflict, conflict.” As for Vance … vile. Zelensky is a great man being treated to Mafia style bullying, intimidation and extortion. Europe has to stand up as one when Zelensky arrives in London on Sunday.
