I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Everyone’s taking the mic out of all the desperate, hard right grifters hot footing it over to Washington and pretending Trump invited them, but I for one think it’s quite lovely being here in Britain and knowing for the next few days it’s a bellend-free-zone.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.
