Most Brits don’t go to trooping the Colour, the ceremonial military parade for the Kings birthday. It’s considered for tourists. This is what the crowd sizes look like.

What Donald Trump seems to not know is Kings are figureheads. They have no real power anymore

@meidastouch.com Here is the UK today (14th June) was the Trooping the Colour for the King’s official birthday. It’s a small military parade and it’s ceremonial. Happens every year. Largely our King is a figurehead.

Do you think Donald Trump was jealous? Especially after this picture

US immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy marshal in Arizona Deputy marshal β€˜fit general description of a subject being sought’ and was briefly detained, Marshals Service says

So Ice are taking US Federal marshals now? I bet that was a humbling experience for them… pity it wasn’t humbling enough for them to stop taking people.

I’ve just seen American House Speaker Maga Mike Johnson speaking and all I could see was Penfold from Dangermouse. Now I can’t unsee it. (Picture for reference)

America are you alright?

When you start arresting federal judges and and democratically elected mayors just trying to check on the welfare of people being held in their area it’s not a good look. I mean, globally, those optics look bad.

Are your ICE agents goose-stepping yet?

How embarrassed must Catholic Melania Trump be after Donald Trump’s behaviour at the Pope’s funeral? Apparently her faith has a great support to her since the death of her mother.

Yet she had to sit next to a man wearing a blue suit, on his phone, chewing gum…at a funeral

It was said in the US congress today by their top trade guy that they were trying to β€˜reorder the world trade’

Who TF said they had the right to reorder world trade? As a Brit, I certainly don’t vote for that β€˜reordering’ nor would I have. I think it works fine just the way it is.

How dare they!

There are two things you need to know about Trump:
The first thing is he’s delusional and he thinks he’s gods gift

The second is he creates an echo chamber around him including personal emotional support β€˜fluffer’ who follows him printing off positive articles about him to maintain the first

Trump’s tariff formular made easy:
They already standardised E as 4 and the squiggle as 1/4.
1x(1/4)=1
Anything multiplied by 1 is itself

Top line equates to trade deficit (exports-imports) and then divide that by bottom line: imports

They just wanted to make it look complicated

Hey @meidastouch.com have you seen this? Trump is now demanding that his rescinding of DEI policies are mirrored in European companies if his government deal with them…on their OWN SOIL.

Europe has laws on discrimination but Trump thinks he can demand to override them

By attacking PIP, both the Tories who started this process and Labour who are finishing it have forgotten one thing: Disabled people are voters too

They have just put a huge demographic in the hands of the Lib Dems and the Greens.

Tell us what you really think about us without telling us what you really think about us- Europe

Remember the US is the only recent person to call out and use NATO after 9/11 and Europe responded.

I tell people I’m fine because they don’t know what to say to the truth. Societal conventions aren’t set up that way. There’s an uncomfortable feet shuffle and awkward looks and silence.

Unless they’re a spoonie. Then we swap stories

US turns to Denmark as it hunts for eggs despite Trump’s threat over Greenland Danish Egg Association says US asked if it could export eggs as prices surge despite president’s promise to lower them

The sheer and utter level of entitlement of Trump is astounding:

β€œTariffs for everyone! Greenland were going to take you over despite you blatantly not wanting us! Trade war upon you all! ….Can we have your eggs?”

Apparently our veterans don’t deserve your respect JD Vance.

Our 636 soldiers who died alongside US soldiers in recent conflicts don’t bleed the same and shouldn’t be honoured the same according to you.

I always knew you were low, but I’m not sure you can get lower

Ukraine Russia war: Zelenskyy joins EU leaders at emergency summit
YouTube video by Channel 4 News Ukraine Russia war: Zelenskyy joins EU leaders at emergency summit

@meidastouch.com Trump’s government is sneaking round behind Zelensky’s back while he is with the EU and deliberately courting the opposition leaders.

When does the US government instigate coups in other war-torn sovereign nations because they don’t like its leader?

Well, he could always come home to dear old Blighty. Scotland Yard would like a word. They were meant to be extradited back to the UK and face further charges over here after Romania were finished with them, but they fled to the US instead. We’ll meet them at the airport with open handcuffs.

No, no, the UK had dibs after Romania. It was all agreed. We have a warrant out for him and his brother’s arrest. They were meant to come here and get arrested again but they fled to America. Send them home to Blighty. The police would like a word.

Yes, we have a warrant out for his arrest-and his brother’s. We’ll meet them at the airport with open handcuffs. He was meant to be deported straight to the UK once Romania were done with him and his brother to be arrested again, but they fled to America.

Deport him back to the UK. Scotland Yard were meant to have a word or two with him after Romania were done with him. There was an agreement. Our police had dibs on his and his brother’s arrest on entry into the country. We’ll welcome them both home with open handcuffs.

Dear US- welcome to your Lettuce era. Except you can get rid of Trump like we got rid of Truss when she tanked our economy with her disastrous mini-budget.

Literally watched the DOW plummet while Trump was talking about instigating tariffs. Have fun with that.

Trump the uncouth had Musk buy him the election. Trump the crass called himself King the other day.

But thousands of us on Ancestry have discovered something about ourselves that all the money in the world can’t buy and Trump will never have.

We have Royal blood. Just a drop. But he won’t.

Zelensky was super diplomatic while Trump and Vance were uncouth, ungentlemanly, obnoxious, undiplomatic, uncivilised, uneducated, bullies. They were utterly vile and brought shame to their country.

I have just spent the last 10 minutes calling Trump and Vance uncultured, impolite, ungentlemanly, uncouth, obnoxious, narcissistic, vile, bullying, and more… and that you do not insult your allies 😑

How Zelensky managed to sit there and take such insulting behaviour for so long was inspiring!

My doctor repeatedly used to call my β€˜highly strung’ as a child. She knew I was bullied and struggling with being different but apparently I was just β€˜highly strung’ because that was a valid diagnosis instead of AuDHD, dyslexic and hEDS.

Medical gaslighting at its best
