Six months ago, King Charles III received Donald Trump at Windsor Castle. Horse-drawn carriages. A 41-gun salute. A state banquet in St George’s Hall with 160 guests. Trump stood next to the King, visibly moved, and called it “one of the highest honours of my life.” Britain smiled, nodded, and filed that away.

Today Trump posted a hostile video about the United Kingdom. Downing Street issued a three-sentence response and got on with its day. Because here is the thing about Britain that Americans never quite grasp: this country has been burying empires since before the United States existed. It has outlasted Napoleon, Hitler, and the Soviet Union. It will outlast this.

Trump wanted a reaction. He wanted the phone calls, the grovelling, the desperate reassurances. He got a shrug from a country that invented the stiff upper lip and has been practising it for a thousand years.

While Washington careens between threats and tantrums, Britain is quietly doing what Britain does. Building alliances. Signing defence agreements. Hosting the leaders that actually matter at Chequers and Downing Street. The adults are in the room. They just stopped expecting Trump to be one of them.

The special relationship was always a polite fiction. Britain knew that. It kept the fiction alive because it was useful. Now that it isn’t, Britain is doing what any self-respecting island nation does.
It moves on.

I wonder if FIFA President Gianni Infantino is getting quite enough public ridicule yet.

@KarluskaP Mate, the whole world burst out laughing.

This is some kind of sick joke, right..?

“It is presented annually on behalf of the billions of football loving people from around the world to distinguish an individual who exemplifies an unwavering commitment to balancing peace and unity throughout the world through their notable leadership and action. And therefore, FIFA awards the 2025 FIFA world peace prize football unites the world to Donald J. Trump, president of the United States of America in recognition of his exceptional actions to promote peace and unity around the world”

@itvnews No.

I don’t understand why institutional bias against Trump by intelligent, educated and experienced journalists at the BBC is wrong. Trump is one of the most loathsome individuals the world has ever seen in a position of power. Isn’t objecting to everything about him simply logical?

@trussliz You are a disgrace.

@south_railway more signalling problems, more delays, more cancellations. What percentage of your mainline services actually run, let alone to time? Also, recorded apologies ring exceptionally hollow.

@RajSKohliexcop Fortunately there’s very little chance of them having the opportunity to bring this into existence.

The UK looks across the Atlantic, observing the painful demise of the world’s most powerful and successful liberal democracy, and says, “yes - that’s what we want too”.

Tragic times.

Agree with him, passionately disagree with him - however powerfully held opposing views can be, this is an object lesson in calm, rational debate of major issues. Violence is never the answer. Nor is jumping to incendiary conclusions around responsibility or motivation. Sad day.

@RupertLowe10 Cool story bro.

The comments under this very funny post are absolutely brilliant.

Can someone explain why Putin and Trump met all the way in Alaska when Washington DC is literally right on the way?
