Trump Accuses Starmer Of Giving Away Chagos Islands In An Act Of Great Stupidity by OLAADEGBU(op): 8:58am On Jan 20
The US President said that 'there is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness' from the UK.

Donald Trump condemns Starmer's 'great stupidity' for giving away Chagos Islands in 'act of total weakness'

Donald Trump today accused Sir Keir Starmer of 'giving away' Diego Garcia to Mauritius 'for no reason whatsoever' in an 'act of great stupidity' that he believes justifies his demand to seize Greenland.

The US President said that 'there is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness' in the Chagos Islands.

Mr Trump used his anger over Diego Garcia to justify yet again why the United States should be handed Greenland, urging Denmark and his European allies to 'do the right thing'.

The US president is travelling to Davos for the World Economic Forum where he insists he will hold talks with European leaders about acquiring Greenland. Danish officials have decided skip the event in Switzerland this year.

Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post today: 'Shockingly, our "brilliant" NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

'The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING'.


It came after Sir Keir Starmer held a Downing Street press conference where he branded Donald Trump's trade war threats over Greenland 'completely wrong'.

The British Government signed a treaty back in May to return sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, which will also see Britain lease back the strategically important military base on Diego Garcia for £101million a year.

Trump said of the deal: 'There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.

'Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.'

Hate him or like him. Trump is not some regular sweet talking politician. He will insult you for being stupid if you're stupid.

A land forcefully taken from the original inhabitants and was returned in accordance with ICJ ruling. Just because you want to take Greenland doesn't mean those who want to obey international order and directives should not.

Trump totally supported the deal last year. He is just bitter that Starmer is siding with Denmark against him because of Greenland.

The world leaders deserve this insult because they all failed to advise him.

he has already created problems and enemies that will take others to come after him 100s of years to clean out.

God help us.

Guys, please, i need a job really. It's been terribly frustrating and depressing and this has been exacerbated by my health condition. I'm a graduate of Chemical Engineering and I'm well grounded. Please, any decent job role would be good for me as my health is frail. I hv applied for several roles but my age seems to be an obstacle. My family is really suffering rn.
Age is never an obstacle, have you worked before.

go into farming even if it's Moscovy Duck farming just get a Pair and you will never dream about working after a year because each female Moscovy Duck will pay you a rent of a room and parlor yearly so do the math.

The moment you have 50 females bro you are made as you will be getting not less than 5 million annually

Sometimes last week I thought to myself that if you envisage problems, you would act cautious. I see this man is trying to handle what others may likely renege on because they don't see problems coming!

Trump is a capital war man who now believes America has to regain full respect ! Others think peace and world decency will take better judgement but Russia china Iran and those other guys are planning each day to destabilize the power bloc! Why would UK still be living in utopia!

Sir Keir Starmer returned back an island belonging to the African Nation of Mauritius , President Trump was fuming about it and you an African man is supporting Trump.
I felt i need to break it down to your level so you can understand.
Did you think you are okay?

tctrills:
Who told you the island belongs to Mauritius? I can bet that before today, you knew nothing about Chagos
The Chagos Islands were uninhibited before European arrival, no indigenous population existed
I agree with you just like Mungo Park discovered River Niger and Europeans discovered the Americas
Re: Trump Accuses Starmer Of Giving Away Chagos Islands In An Act Of Great Stupidity by HallahGeisher:
The US is right to do everything in its capacity to deter Putin. Also to put Russia and China in checks . Not the way the UK and Europe are going around without balls. They only specialize in recolonizing Africa and annexing the whole of Africa without remorse and stealing her resources and creating crisis everywhere on the planet.6

Under Trump, the US is the fastest growing G7 economy.
Inflation is far lower than where Biden left it. Income is growing and GDP is mind blowing.
Do you even know the meaning of the word Mistake?

If Trump es a mistake, what would you call Tinubu?
In Nigeria, inflation is growing faster than wages. Violent crime is exploding. Businesses are disappearing but Trump is the mistake

Bold and assertive, unlike Biden & obama....who were always trying to be politically correct.

But the President should reduce interference in other nations' matters.

In this modern day and age Trump is ensuring he makes slave out of would be weak European nations and we have some Nigerians who agree with him and this same people are shouting against godfatherism in Nigeria......
Such manner of thinking is very skewed.
