Our foriegn secretary Lammy labelled Trump a "neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath'.

Maybe Trump will feel complimented by that description.
Lammy has a massive hole to dig himself out of there.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Trump relationships develops with the UK. My guess is that he will not have the time of day for Starmer.
I am pretty certain now Starmer will overturn Brexit and rejoin the EU before the next election

I think the British guy who is sweating the most now is Prince Harry, only last week Trump's son Eric commented negatively about his visa application and Trump quote in the Express a few months ago about Harry 'Mr Trump had previous told the Express: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”'

Harry might be coming home. :D

That divorce would be a great spectacle. If it happens I only hope Megan gets Netflix involved so we can follow everything blow by blow.

I admire her determination though, I think she really is as hard as nails and she will wipe the floor with poor Harry.

Concerning past tweets from Labour politicians on Trump, this says it is overblown

There is probably a big difference, Vance is white American, Lammy is neither.

Even the Australian Ambassador has removed all his tweets and Facebook comments about Trump.

Everyone says Trump is racist and he also hates centre left, left or radical left.

Personally I don’t think Trump will care what people said about him. But as Piers Morgan and Farage said, he does hold grudges.

However, I am convinced he will go after China with 60% tariffs and everyone else with 10% tariffs. Will be interesting to see what the EU do. Problem is the UK will be stuck in the middle with no free trade agreement with any of them. That combined with the Bank of England statement that Reeves budget could increase inflation doesn’t bowed well for the UK economy next year or after.

Don't forget the 25% Mexico tariff if they don't send more troops to shore up the US border.

Trumps legal team says the federal charges will be dropped. The state legal issues cannot be enforced on an incumbent president. The Supreme Court would block them. Because Trump overwhelmingly won the presidency, senate and more than likely the House of Representatives means he and the Republicans can remove Supreme Court judges, prosecutors and have all charges and court cases drooped.

Not saying that will happen but it could.

Given that amount of power he probably can change the constitution and have the 2 term max presidency revoked.

There maybe trouble ahead, for everyone.

So when you say go after other countries with tariffs what exactly do you mean?

He said he wants to put 60% tariffs on China and 10% on other countries. But he didn’t specify which other countries. But the thinking is he meant EU, Canada and Mexico.
