This is probably the very first time he has bullied people, then asked for help and was told "No." For so many years everyone has caved to his demands. Hell, Congress is still doing it. I'm glad the other world leaders have backbones and are using them. This is Karma at her finest. SMITE!!!

BBC 3/3 “US President Donald Trump has threatened to halt all trade with Spain, after the country barred the US from using its military bases as part of its operation in Iran.” Turnabout is fair play.

Why would Donald need help? He obliterated the Iranian military. (Although I think he screwed up the word somehow when he tried to say it, but that’s nothing new.) Obliterate means they are no more. Trump has no idea how to negotiate anything. All he can do is make threats and demand compliance.

Thing is, Trump is a total narcissist. He is the centre of his world.

Other people are props, stage dressing, barely human, and should just stick to his script and do what they are told. They often do, but some don't so he screams and takes them to Court.

(I'd like to see a comparison of what he's spent from the government (tax payer) coffers on law suits over the past year and that spent by previous more rational presidents.)

He doesn't listen to anyone now, ever — not advisers, not Congress, not polls, not the People.

He rules on gut feeling and his "bones", and they are putrid. Not to mention changing their minds countless times every day for random reasons.

Blowing around in the wind from his diapers.

What's next? Is he going to attack and seize New Zealand? Antarctica?

Better he decides to commandeer Uranus — have Elon Musk fly him there and dump him.

what is this “plan” you speak of?

There are a few things with this; firstly NATO was set up as a purely defensive alliance. It is not the case that allies should automatically assist another ally in a war of aggression that they have started, particularly one with no basis in law.

Secondly the United Kingdom does not have two operational aircraft carriers that it can deploy simultaneously so that's clearly a lie because they just don't exist. And finally which won't be a surprise public opinion in the UK is virulently opposed to Trump and everything he stands for, although bizarrely around a quarter of the population support Reform which is a Trump mini me

“This” sadly is not funny, not a casual joke. not what mature governments would conjure up to give a world stage to a very very sick egotistical liar. Are we so bored as to pretend this should go on any longer in our name? Are we shameless? Are we stupid.

Let’s realize before we treat this absurd performance by an infant low class dud like it is worth our time.

We could actually be demanding that we join the rest of the world in saving our planet. Maybe open some childcare for needy narcissists who will never never be interesting. Has the cell phone become our pacifier? Shall we replace our boredom with AI 🤖 extinction?

Do not forget…. Mother Nature may just lose her temper.
