Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trumpโ€™s rant about โ€˜NATO not being there for usโ€™: โ€œMate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And youโ€™ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.โ€

Trump loves suing people.... so the PM should take a leaf out of his book. Starmer should sue the President for illegal damage to the British economy. Donโ€™t worry Donald - we will settle for ยฃ100bn, thatโ€™s how it works right?

Despite Greenland's Arctic climate, there are unfortunately no penguins in Greenland. I couldn't resist no matter how much it hurts joking around, TYFYATTM.

@HouseofCommons Why are we not suing Trump for $10billion for defamation of character for what he said about our brave Armed Forces in Afghanistan!!! He is suing everyone else for incorrect information about him, why shouldnโ€™t we do the same!!! Something that I missed at Davos that was not reported is that he said it was the USA that won WW2 and not the brave soldiers of all other countries!!! To win wars you need a team effort from all and it is never a one sided effort!!! Just look at the taking of the oil tanker in the North Atlantic the Americans would not have taken it if it wasnโ€™t for our Armed Forces help!!! Each country who took part in Afghanistan and lost brave soldiers should sue Trump for everything he has and the American government for backing him up!!!

Going from Mark Carneyโ€™s speech to Donald Trumpโ€™s press briefing was like going from an iPhone to two styrofoam cups and some string.
