Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.

Yes. It's surprising how fast Musk can switch from loving democracy to wanting to overthrow a democratically-elected government when he doesn't like it. His hypocrisy stinks worse than a week old haddock on a Grimsby dockside. He's also wrong about pretty much everything he says about the UK.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"!
Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective.
