GB News scored a genuinely impressive global exclusive last night with former President Donald Trump’s first international interview since the 2020 election. Speaking with Nigel Farage in Mar-a-Lago, Trump addressed many of the big questions that have loomed over him for the past year: his election defeat to Joe Biden, the Capitol Hill riots – he still insists “the insurrection took place on November 3rd [election day] – and of course, his plans for 2024. Yes, it looks like he’ll run again…
Trump also gave his typically unvarnished views on topics like Net Zero, climate change, and his relationship with Boris and the Queen. On Boris’s energy policy, Trump didn’t hold back:
‘I’m surprised that he would allow that to happen because you’ve got one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you’re destroying it with all these wind turbines all over the place. In Aberdeen they built this ugly wind farm in the ocean. It’s so disgusting to look at it, it’s a shame.”
He still had some kind words for the PM:
“I like him, I like him. I get along with him, I’ve always gotten along with him.”
Although he also added that Boris has “gone a little on the more liberal side.” Trump did, at the very least, know how to cut taxes…
Trump issues a statement on the US football team’s Olympics performance:
“If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze. Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has. There were, however, a few Patriots standing. Unfortunately, they need more than that respecting our Country and National Anthem. They should replace the wokesters with Patriots and start winning again. The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics and not doing her job!”
Trump’s CPAC speech last night showed the former president tease a 2024 run for the White House, as well as calling reports he may set up his own Trump-branded party “fake news”. His first speech since leaving the White House and Trump still couldn’t stop himself bragging that “We’ve been doing a lot of winning”…
James Fletcher was one of the behind the scenes quiet players of the Cameron era, he produced the videos that gave Dave a modernised feel, did some of the WebCameron stuff and went on to do campaign videos for Boris back in the day. He worked with Lynton Crosby over the years and was rumoured to be, in concert with Dominic Cummings, the ventriloquist behind @SteveHiltonGuru. Even though James opposed Brexit, he made some of the Vote Leave campaign videos. He eventually left SW1 and British politics for New York City, to settle down and marry a CNN anchor a few years ago…
James went West to make movies and his latest is a documentary about how a gameshow host bagged the presidency and became the most powerful person on earth. It has some great interviews with some of the key figures of the era. It is streaming now on Apple TV and Amazon Prime…
Donald Trump has now left DC for the final time as the 45th President of the United States. The lifelong showman couldn’t resist a final flourish, choreographing Frank Sinatra’s My Way to blast out its final lines just as Air Force One took off for the last time.
“The record shows, I took the blows
But I did it my way
Yes, it was my way”
Whatever words can be used to describe Trump’s presidency, to the end it’s certainly been theatrical…
