Donald Trump is not a warmonger and most people in the world are glad he is back in power, David Lammy said ahead of his inauguration on Monday.
Going out of his way to praise the new president, the Foreign Secretary called him “gracious and generous”.
Mr Lammy, who has been fiercely critical of Mr Trump in the past, said Britain had to come to terms with dealing with him.
“You meet the world as it is - not as you would like it to be,” he told the BBC.
Global support for Trump was rooted in the view that he would curb “malign authoritarian” leaders by “keeping them guessing,” said Mr Lammy.
It’s true there are many parts of the world where they’re glad that Donald Trump is back. The parts that hate America, mostly.
Did Lammy whack his head on something on July 4?
No, this is the “special relationship” in action.
Usually someone gets nominated to go down on one’s knees. Which is funny because the WW2 lend-lease debt was paid off a few years ago. These days, due to a falling out with the neighbouring continent, it’s done with a bit more enthusiasm as US company interests are the dominating factor now.
This is why Reform are trying to convince just enough of the country that they’d love the taste of daddy orange’s taint.
I think Reform genuinely love the taste of Tango fascism.
For a second I read this as:
Most of the world is glad Donald Trump is back, says Lemmy
And thought what the fuck that’s not what they’re saying around here!
Well David Lammy is apparently spokesperson for the world, so Lemmy is still included
I feel he has massively overcorrected here.
Britain does not simply come to terms…
