Not seen anything that confirms your opinions that he's mellowed. Your examples with Canada, Mexico and Columbia, well he was never going to war with them, of course there will be a deal.....lol. He literally just threatened Columbia with 25% tariffs and today they backed down over the flight of immigrants. The art of the deal he's always had. 

 

 

Does it really matter? You don't like the idea of Trump mellowing, right? You like the America First, MAGA ,drum pounding, breast beating, alpha male, cave man Trump? I guess that's what got him elected. He's 78 I believe. Give him a break, if he dials it down a notch or two.

Well you are the one that said he was mellowing and then went straight with some examples that showed he's doing anything but....lol

I think it hilarious the way the guys that hate Trump all worship their dear leader Starmer. 

I've never encountered a Starmer worshipper. I don't believe he's that popular at all. He was all the Labour party had at the time. It's just one of those oddities that Trump should come out with his hymn of praise after his team, simply poured scorn on him. I think it's wrong footed everybody. Now, everybody's scrambling to get back onside. That is hilarious!

He backed off the threats against Canada, Mexico and Colombia. What do you call that?

Colombia caves on deportations after Trump threats

Colombia on Sunday backed down and agreed to accept deported citizens sent on US military aircraft, hours after President Donald Trump threatened painful tariffs to punish the defiance to his mass deportation plans.

No, I used irony in the phrase "Oh yeah, I forgot" to which you sarcastically replied "Yes, of course you forgot...".

 

Here's a link to his speech at Davos. Naturally he doesn't push the 51st state angle. He actually says they have nothing we need. So why would he want to annex it?

I couldn't care less about your attempt at irony or how I replied to it.

Trump's Canada, Mexico tariff threat aimed at gaining leverage in trade talks: experts

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250126-trump-s-canada-mexico-tariff-threat-aimed-at-gaining-leverage-in-trade-talks-experts

 

Trump says Canada is a bad trade partner. Are his tariff threats justified?

https://globalnews.ca/news/10976612/trump-tariff-threats-justified/

 

He has not backed off those threats as you claim. He also made no threats to Canada about taking it over, he did say:

 

President-elect Donald Trump joked that it would be a "great idea" for Canada to become the 51st state of the US, as Canadian leader Justin Trudeau faces a domestic political crisis linked to fears over a potential tariff war with Trump.

True British patriots will know how to respond to this foreign interference in British politics.

 

’Will of the people’, ‘voters have spoken’, ‘a fan of democracy’ and all that.

True that voters have spoken in both the US and the UK. Just not sure what you mean by 'foreign interference'.

You couldn't care less? That's a good enough exit point for me. But, let's see how he gets on with his global tariffs. His repatriation of 20 million. His exit from NATO and all the other threats he's made. He "joked" about making Canada the 51st state. I don't think the Canadians were that impressed, ditto the world leaders at Davos. Same with Denmark and Greenland. But, to return to the topic. He likes Starmer. Everything else I said ran on from that. He's only been POTUS for a week. I sensed a mellowing. You seem to really resent that.

So as expected, no link because it was not true

Don't be ridiculous.  Trump thinks Starmer is a clown, it's just not appropriate for him to say so out loud.   It's weird how people always accuse Trump of lying until he says something they want to hear and then it is the absolute gospel truth.  Fascinating.  He could also just be trolling so this particular tweet from Starmer gets resurrected so Starmer looks like the hypocritical moron that he is.

Such a stupid move by Labour. Even by their standards.

 

Let's hope Trump keeps the pressure on 2 Tier Keir and his band of Liberal idiots. 

The anti Trump "activists" were not sent. they attended off their own bat.

But when Obama goes over to the UK to interfere in an election on behalf of the left it’s all good though, yes?

Hypocrites 

False equivalence.

 

Members of Trump’s administration are interfering to remove a sitting leader of an elected Government.

 

They are not supporting  candidate for election.

Do you think that criticism of the dear leader should not be allowed?  From what I have seen is that they are simply being critical which could be alleviated by Starmer not being an incompetent hypocritical moron.  How are they "interfering" exactly to "remove" the dear leader?  Do you have a link to support this claim?

Of course criticism is allowed.

 

Calling for the PM to be jailed and an elected Government overthrown is a different matter.
