"Depends on how he is reacting to his meds on any given day. The world is one step closer to chaos. Still. Try to look on the plus side. At least Keir didn't have his personal messages to the president made public. Emmanuel Macron's refusal to join Trump's board of peace not everyone reckons Vladimir Putin is an ideal working partner had France threatened with 200% tariffs on wine and champagne. It's hard to keep up with this level of insanity."
"Maybe Trump is banking on Nato countries giving him Greenland just to make him shut up and go away. Who knows? It could even work. All of which gave more of an edge to Mike Johnson's speech to both houses of parliament, which had previously been billed as soporific filler to mark the 250th year of American independence. Though still not enough to guarantee a full room. There were plenty of spare seats."
A day after Keir Starmer warned against US attempts to seize Greenland and called for calm diplomacy, Donald Trump attacked the UK prime minister and the Chagos Islands deal despite previously endorsing it. Trump's contradictory posts and erratic comments raised doubts about his consistency and awareness, with suggestions his medication affects behaviour. Emmanuel Macron declined to join Trump's peace board and faced tariff threats from the US. The episode intensified focus on Mike Johnson's speech to both houses of parliament, which attracted a sparse audience and recalled Johnson's close, controversial association with Trump.
