‘Weak and cringeworthy’: Trump’s second UK state visit sparks division

TDonald Trump’s arrival to England for a second state visit divided the readers. Independent.

When we asked for your views, many of them criticized the generous ceremonies in Windsor Castle, and would not touch the state feast exaggerated, ridiculous and bitch squeezing facts.

The commentators emphasized the contrast between the struggles of ordinary citizens by drawing attention to increasing food insecurity and inadequate financed public services. A few readers described a visit as Sycophantic, “growing” to the Prime Minister and Monarch Trump.

At the same time, a minority accepted the potential diplomatic and economic benefits of hosting Trump.

The technology partnership and investment agreements announced during the visit were seen as an opportunity to strengthen the UK-US “private relationship ,, create business and secure long-term trade advantages.

Nevertheless, he continued on political optics and ethical results, including Starmer’s perceived proximity to Trump and the decomposition of Britain and the United States over Israel and Ukraine.

In general, while some readers see strategic value in the visit, the majority questioned the timing, extravagance and symbolism of a state occasion that prioritizes demonstration on internal concerns.

Here is what you have to say:

Focus on England problems first

These include Steel, Tariffs, Ukraine and even Peter Mandelson, Jeffrey Epstein scandal, who pays for the US president. However, Gaza, which is the most urgent, Starmer and Trump is not compatible in any way.

First, can we concentrate on our problems and make life better for people living in the UK? I’m not telling you to get out of international problems, but don’t spend political credit on things abroad before using it for our own problems: trade, tariffs, defense.

It’s not just about us

Can all posters who say that we should not let visit visit now see why it is important? Not only about us, but about people all over the world. Starmer is the only political leader that Trump listens to. Like William, Chuckles has a strong effect. The world needs it.

Starmer’s reputation at risk

There may be benefits for trade agreements with the US.

However, in terms of the reputation of Starmer, it is likely to have a great failure, because partly Trump is not intensively loved by many British. However, much worse (even from the Mandelson scandal), the UN Commission’s view of Israel on Israel is genocide in Gaza.

The genocide accusation has been hung around Starmer’s neck for a long time because it was very reluctant to criticize Israel. So the recognition of the genocide would never show him good. And now it happened.

Just as Trump is trapped, the man who can put pressure on Israel but will not be … They all make Starmer look like he was on the wrong side of history.

Eat with the devil

One of the disadvantages of politics is that you should eat with the devil to force your agenda to force your agenda … or that’s why you try to host the magnificent state feast by the Federal convict in Windsor Castle in a very public state visit.

Authoritarian “dictator for a day” Trump and Alem Charles compatible food friends ruler, or Pinochet’s visit during thatcher’s iron fist reign, is just a disturbing but politically appropriate meeting?

With Trump’s unpredictable and released political judgments, what seems to be achieved today may not be good tomorrow, so the state visit that is more preserved from the public should be withdrawn from the beginning of the presidency as a tentterhook moment to focus Trump’s attention and behavior as a reward for playing political ball with England.

Generous cheerful while people suffer

One of the little things, please, is attractive to bring small minds and happiness.

Many of us fled when a Sheepish Starmer invited an unprecedented second state visit. The man did nothing to deserve it.

While many of them are hungry, they all enjoy a generous joy. Go figure. And all the leaders who block Ed Davey are joining.

Davey gave the reasons clearly and many will agree with the stand. It may seem in vain, but nothing can achieve anything. Trump will not just listen.

I find our politicians, except for honorable exceptions, depressing and weak.

No partnership

There is nothing common between them. Trump loves the center of attention and the center of geopolitical interest and will be happy to go to Beijing or Moscow for a state visit.

The differences between Starmer and Trump are for everyone to see:

Vision

Generous feast in the midst of squeezing

Nothing is heard for a generous feast at the expense of taxpayers of the United Kingdom of Trump for the appreciation of US President Trump.

Can I remind everyone that food, water, shelter, drugs, surgical aid, generators and hygiene kits are deliberately exaggerated by the Israeli regime (according to the UN, only according to Trump or Starmer)? Regardless of the grandeur and situation around this visit, and with the US positive iron and steel tariffs, you are an officer and gentleman/lady, a service soldier or a British worker, a really bad taste.

In this large bitch squeezing country, money could offer a bowl of nutrient broth, bread and a warm drink to finance soup kitchens in our big cities. This will show people that the government is related to them rather than a Starmer’s Laissez-Faire attitude in contrast to the support of Ukraine or Israel to the Pariah genocide state.

I’m sorry, but I won’t wish a successful evening to the participants in this bad -time state feast. I hope electricity fails and they will be forced to eat cold food!

Damage limitation task

This happens, so there is no point in discussing whether there is a good idea.

Can England earn something from him? Probably. We are quite good in diplomacy. We see a agreement on small modular reactors that can be good for both countries.

But mostly I see it as another task of restricting damage: sucking Trump to prevent further damage. And this is a big question when you deal with someone crazy as a documentary.

Also, give the appropriate name, soothing. King and Starmer will probably drown in the state feasts.

Ed Davey, who boycotted everything, Jerusalem.

Enlargement under the guise of diplomacy

Only another Asinine British, under the title of protection of the “private relationship”, which will never exist and never exist, the shameless sycophancy and the magnification exhibition.

Shameful, pathetic, weak, ridiculous, ridiculous.

Trump’s unpredictability

We are quite good in diplomacy with identifiable goals and goals and people who are a rational or broad predictable mind.

With Trump, you may agree on anything and when you walk towards a staircase flight, Trump will change his idea of ​​a new position, changed it back to the original plan, and then he will look for a new plan and started to implement it, thinking that he really had the same agreement with his hero.

Diplomacy against dignity

There is a time for diplomacy, then there is a time for dignity and reality. In this case, we landed in the field of absorbers. Simple.
