This is every bit as insulting as JD Vance's comments earlier this week.

Trump looks increasingly like an unreliable ally, and the Government urgently needs a plan B.

He’s in a bad mood because Melania didn’t burp him that morning. What a disgusting man-baby.

miciobertoldo.bsky.social•57 days ago

How can I destroy the US in less than 8 weeks and make ruZZia grateful again? Ask your presedent & king!

rupertairbear.bsky.social•57 days ago

Obviously, he forgot the only time Article 5 was used, after 9/11 when NATO allies went to assist the USA.

dndnerd69.bsky.social•57 days ago

And we never sent a bill!

arconiat.bsky.social•57 days ago

dndnerd69.bsky.social•57 days ago

How many Tesla’s would they need to throw into Boston Harbour? 😂

arconiat.bsky.social•57 days ago

Lithium batteries and water...

Would be a fun experiment

dndnerd69.bsky.social•57 days ago

It would go up like a spaceX rocket 30seconds after launch

sam-27.bsky.social•57 days ago

Perhaps we should send one now. Did they ever say ‘Thank you’? I don’t remember them saying it

dndnerd69.bsky.social•57 days ago

THAT IS A DAMN FINE IDEA! And come to think of it, i dont think they did!

rex73.bsky.social•57 days ago

We actually pay a price via terrorism & migration. You can't decimate a region causing mass displacements & unstability without consequence (and radicalisation). If you poke a hornet's nest then you can expect to get stung.

malreed.bsky.social•57 days ago

The orange fool doesn't know and absolutely doesn't care and of course nobody would have called him out on it and put him right. Ignorance and stupidity is his modus operandi and his simpering minions daren't squeak.

lucyarnold.bsky.social•57 days ago

And Ukraone sent support to, even though they were not in NATO

mattoslo.bsky.social•57 days ago

Forgot?
Or didn't care enough at the time to pay attention.
Probably wasn't covered on whatever news channel he was watching back then.
He's just riffing on ignorance.

prior-industry.bsky.social•57 days ago

Can't even remember one country more than France. Jesus.

douglasq.bsky.social•57 days ago

Well yes. However, I think we need to help them because that guy is certifiably insane. Seriously unstable.

dorothyspigot.bsky.social•57 days ago

Rejoin the EU and contributing to the defence of Europe would be a good place to start, if they will have us back.

atnb.bsky.social•56 days ago

Our campaign might be of some interest to you.

Also need to be aware that in malevolent hands the extra-territorial reach of the Office of Foreign Assets Control can have a chilling effect in other jurisdictions on the lawful activities of subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies.

lbno11ffc.bsky.social•57 days ago

so NATO didn't aid the USA after 9/11? trump has selective memory, or prefers to spread deliberate misinformation to fuel prejudice amongst his neanderthal supporters (apologies to the Neanderthals!)...

adamgoldman.bsky.social•57 days ago

He literally doesn’t know what he’s talking about, does he?

adamgoldman.bsky.social•57 days ago

Like a drunkard rambling away in the corner of a bar.

lauramccracken.bsky.social•56 days ago

Has Trump forgotten that over 50 countries around the world (including 137K British troops) fought alongside the Americans In solidarity after 9/11 in Iraq and Afghanistan.

squid65.bsky.social•45 days ago

Trump lies like a Great Pyrenees sheds.

squid65.bsky.social•45 days ago

He didn't forget, he lied.

djwils.bsky.social•57 days ago

9/11 article 5 triggered. You miserable cowardly tit Trump.
The ONLY TIME IT'S BEEN TRIGGERED.
And France and "others" ALL stepped up.
And lost sons and daughters resulting.

arconiat.bsky.social•57 days ago

Well, apart from the dodgy Iraq invasion and "freedom fries" bullshit

patblair.bsky.social•57 days ago

Trump: "They're friends of mine." Don't believe it. How many people would truly call Trump a friend, rather than businesss associate, acquaintance, or just someone they've met?

bonhillboy.bsky.social•57 days ago

Jeffrey Epstein maybe?

ally70.bsky.social•57 days ago

9/11

theanthonymark.bsky.social•57 days ago

Trump looks increasingly like a dangerous adversary, and the government needs to plan for potential American aggression.

lyncglasbskysocial.bsky.social•57 days ago

Deflection - he's talking about himself. As we did all support the US the only time Article 5 has ever been invoked, after 09/11 by the US. Short memory. Dragging us all down to his level.

cheshiredoglady.bsky.social•57 days ago

Cheeky fucker. Can we send the US a bill from the allies for when they supported the US when Bush invoked Article 5 post 9/11m?

eastendkids.bsky.social•50 days ago

Think we should ask for some minerals

lordsteveyp.bsky.social•57 days ago

The US is the ONLY nation to ever invoke it. Bloke is a muppet and nobody dares to tell him. Land of the Brave. Right.

miladylilburn.bsky.social•57 days ago

That's because they don't know it. Never forget that on 9/11 he was bragging that he now had the tallest building in NYC. Talk about pissing on the dead bodies of all those in the buildings and the brave rescue workers who died.

lordsteveyp.bsky.social•57 days ago

It appears to me that Trump voters wouldn't know the difference between a statesman and a conman. Oh, wait..

malreed.bsky.social•57 days ago

Putin absolutely knows the difference between a statesman and a conman and he needed a conman. He knows exactly what he paid for and via his advisors has made no secret of what he expects from his investment.

lordsteveyp.bsky.social•57 days ago

That's utterly inhuman

miladylilburn.bsky.social•57 days ago

We are talking about Trump.

lordsteveyp.bsky.social•57 days ago

Us Brits love Irony a tad too much sometimes

Lets not forget, the man said he would like to date his own daughter

norrette.bsky.social•57 days ago

Someone tell him Japan was very helpful into dragging the US into WWII. they bombed Pearl Harbour.

Maybe he's thinking of giving Hawaii to Japan

d-moore.bsky.social•57 days ago

"unreliable ally" is generous.

He's actively supporting Russia's war on Europe.

Should Ukraine fall, where Putin & Trump go next is anyone's guess.

Wouldn't even rule out 🇬🇧

BTW the ONLY country that has called on NATO Partners to assist them & received that assistance during 911 was the US.

erinlisagayle.bsky.social•57 days ago

Trump's US is no ally, and Starmer needs to wake up to that.

noraondariv.bsky.social•57 days ago

You have no friends. Nobody likes you. Nobody believes you. You are nothing but a spineless little man & the world is laughing at you & your madness while trying to clean up the huge messes you are making worldwide. #BoycottEverythingAmerican

bbolger.bsky.social•57 days ago

With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

He’s simply saying he wouldn’t come to protect France.

NATO is dead.

bbolger.bsky.social•57 days ago

And to be clear, no, Europe will not come to defend America when Canada invades to put an end to the Trump bullshit.

nicksco77.bsky.social•57 days ago

“Unreliable ally”? He’s basically a mafia mob boss with bony spurs! A modern day Nero. We shouldn’t pander to his infantile temperament and vanity. Let’s call him out for what he is, a self-aggrandising narcissist.

dndnerd69.bsky.social•57 days ago

Agreed. I think it time to fuck the “special relationship”

obbgf.bsky.social•57 days ago

Nero was removed by his own bodyguards 🤞🏼

kaneclements11.bsky.social•57 days ago

Trump is not an ally.

End of.

evab.bsky.social•57 days ago

He looks increasingly like he's got dementia. :(

dogtorapproximate.bsky.social•57 days ago

Not only insulting - but factually wrong and it's THAT which needs to be highlighted. Nato responded supporting USA sept 11. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar

drkimshepherd.bsky.social•57 days ago

Unfortunately the USA is now the ally of Last Resort

wabsnazsm.bsky.social•57 days ago

A ghastly and dangerous creature. He doesn't understand the power that he has taken and doesn't know what to do with it. He tinkers with it like a curious gorilla with a machine gun. His tentative fingers on the trigger. People will die but he doesn't know them so he doesn't care. Disgraceful man.

clareosel.bsky.social•57 days ago

He’s not a reliable ally. Everyone can see that

malcolmdw.bsky.social•57 days ago

Trump is no longer an ally - if he ever was! He's increasingly an egocentric attention seeker who will stop at nothing to show how important he is! Insecure and weak, he'll continue to say and act in ways that he thinks demonstrate his strength.

monkeydoctor.bsky.social•57 days ago

Doesn't he look tired.

planetmatt.bsky.social•57 days ago

Hopefully a diet of nothing but BigMacs and Adderall will catch up with him.

He has no friends, apart from that dead nonce.

It's happened once before. The USA triggered article 5 after September 11 (the only country to do so since Nato was formed) every member assisted.

andyturner.bsky.social•57 days ago

He’s just an ignorant, uneducated, incurious moron. And other ignorant, uneducated, incurious morons hang on his every word

iamchristine27.bsky.social•57 days ago

So he can only name France in all the countries part of NATO? And why does he say "couple of others, I won't mention", is NATO membership secretive!? I can't believe anyone in the US voted for this loose canon.

stroudos.bsky.social•57 days ago

Ran out of countries that he can name from memory. 🤷‍♂️

helenmagi.bsky.social•57 days ago

I think he means UK but he noticed the push-back on the Vance comments here, I suspect. He has a soft spot for the Royal family...

We live in crazy times.

iamchristine27.bsky.social•57 days ago

True, which is even worse, he's insinuating. Crazy times indeed.

abifranklyn.bsky.social•57 days ago

America didn’t join either World War until their own interests were threatened.

9/11 happened and we jumped to America’s side and didn’t leave it.

badatstuff.bsky.social•57 days ago

September 12, 2001, USA called NATO and said we've got a problem, and guess what happened?

callidusdominus.bsky.social•55 days ago

All this talk about how the US is our key ally and we want good relations with them is looking utterly ridiculous. Trump has proven that he can't be relied on for anything other than to enrich himself. We need to align ourselves with Europe over Putin's ally.

celtuk.bsky.social•57 days ago

They did protect you, you Orange wrinkled Satsuma. After 9/11 NATO responded but will be put Mandy on TV to correct these lies. No. The pussy in No.10 won't do that and i don't mean @number10cat.bsky.social

troutpopupdate.bsky.social•57 days ago

He sounds really tired

helenmagi.bsky.social•57 days ago

Remember when Blair stood 'shoulder to shoulder' with Bush after 9/11. He went to Congress and listened to the Bush address in the aftermath, and sent British troops to Afghanistan as a sign of solidarity.

Trump doesn't do solidarity.
