In a bombshell interview that's set to rock Westminster, former US President Donald Trump has declared war on Britain's electoral system, making explosive claims that July's general election is already "rigged" against the Conservative Party.
'Big Trouble' Warning for Britain
The Republican presidential candidate didn't hold back in his criticism during an exclusive sit-down with Nigel Farage on GB News, stating bluntly: "I think they have a rigged election too." Trump went even further, suggesting Britain was heading for "big trouble" and drawing direct parallels with his own controversial claims about the 2020 US presidential election.
Direct Attack on Postal Voting System
Trump specifically targeted Britain's postal voting system, which he claimed was vulnerable to mass manipulation. "When you have millions of ballots being sent to people, they're sending them to everybody," he asserted. "You're going to have a hard time with that election."
The timing of these comments couldn't be more sensitive, coming just weeks before British voters head to the polls in what's expected to be one of the most consequential elections in recent history.
Diplomatic Fallout Feared
Political analysts are warning of potential diplomatic repercussions, with Trump's intervention likely to be seen as unacceptable foreign interference in Britain's democratic process. The comments represent an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the UK's electoral system from a major international political figure.
Trump's alliance with Farage appears stronger than ever, with the former president praising the Reform UK leader as "a very smart guy" who understands what's happening. This endorsement comes despite Farage's own controversial history with the Conservative Party establishment.
Echoes of 2020 US Election Claims
The rhetoric will sound familiar to anyone who followed Trump's response to his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden. The former president has consistently maintained that election was stolen from him, despite numerous court rulings and investigations finding no evidence of widespread fraud.
Now, he's applying the same playbook to British politics, raising serious questions about how this might affect international perceptions of the UK's democratic integrity.
With Trump positioning himself as the likely Republican nominee for November's US presidential election, these comments suggest he's ready to bring his controversial election theories to the global stage, potentially creating diplomatic headaches for whichever party wins the British election.
