As an American, I ask for all of us please someone stand up to this clearly self-serving insanity… don’t visit, don’t placate, don’t dignify, don’t normalize…

Trump is not the real America

Zelensky was unpopular for saying that Trump lives in a disinformation bubble. Starmer should just say we think Trump is a Russian agent, get it out in the open.

Just flatter Trump a lot.

#Starmers moment of truth. Does he fall for #Trump's lies and deception and run back waving a piece of toilet paper like #Chamberlain. Or is he going to morph into a real #European leader?

He better stand up to trump or he’s a goner

The sooner we in the UK realize the the US under Trump can’t be relied upon re defence or trade the better. We have loonies on the right in the UK who lie as well. That’s why the gullible voted for Brexit. How did that work out

Not a difficult tightrope at all. He should go there and tell Trump that he is acting like an idiot. Then come back and tell the UK exactly what he said. Respect for Starmer would go up.

He should reschedule. Bullies back down when they face pushback.

I wonder what the point of the visit is as you can't negotiate with Trump, you merely feed his ego. Starmer should not try and pacify him he needs to stand firm like many other global leaders are now doing.

He should postpone or cancel his trip, given what Trump said about Ukraine. Don't legitimize Trump

kaybell27.bsky.social•3 days ago

100% agree, many leaders are now refusing to go, Starmer should be one of them.

Trump will find a way to humiliate Starmer, it's really difficult to see a possible upside for the UK.
