Description

The Irish are protesting in the streets over the price of fuel, Qatar's GDP is plummeting, and heating bills are skyrocketing in France. And today, every world leader and every CEO of every major corporation is having to address the consequences of this war of choice on Iran—and Trump couldn't care less. Instead, he's working on a new distraction to get the media to talk about something besides his and Bibi's catastrophic error. But European leaders are finally starting to hit back against Trump, and Xi is trolling him on a genius level. Plus, Vance can't stop making a fool of himself, a debate over the merits of Europe v the United States, and a healthy serving of fresh British insults to try on for size. Alastair Campbell joins Tim Miller.

The Irish word that sums up Trump succinctly is Gobshite!

Someone needs to remind JD Vance that Ukraine gave up their nukes because the US promised to protect them!

"I'm so glad Congress isn't alive to see this." Now that's a well-deserved dig.

Will never understand the American mindset on regulation. Fraudsters, grifters and scammers paradise.

Every time Tim rails against regulation in Europe, I lose more respect for him. “American exceptionalism” is a cancer.

As a Canadian, I would be happy to join the European Union. That would be good.

If you're really poor in the UK, however bad it is, (its bad, I'm skint), in America I would be on the street's. I have my rent subsidized, I have help with living costs, and I have universal healthcare. I have a chronic autoimmune disease, ive never had to worry about massive debts. I'm not saying its perfect here, far from it, but America treats its working classes and poor, with contempt. I'm grateful for my country, but aware how fragile this is xxx ❤️🇬🇧❤️
