Former US President Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy with his unfiltered remarks during a candid interview with Nigel Farage on GB News. The explosive conversation covered everything from UK politics to global diplomacy, leaving no topic untouched.
1. Mocking Rishi Sunak Over Brexit
Trump didn't hold back when discussing UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, suggesting he had mishandled post-Brexit opportunities. "He's not the Churchill everyone hoped for," Trump quipped, sparking immediate backlash from Conservative MPs.
2. Putin Praise Raises Eyebrows
In perhaps his most contentious statement, Trump described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "a very smart guy" while discussing geopolitical strategy. This comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
3. Scathing Assessment of UK Immigration
The former president claimed Britain had "lost control" of its borders, echoing rhetoric from his own immigration policies during his presidency. "Your beautiful countryside is disappearing," he warned Farage.
4. Election Interference Claims
Trump repeated his controversial assertion that the 2020 US election was "stolen," despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Farage pressed him on this claim, but Trump remained defiant.
5. Endorsement for Reform UK
In a boost for Farage's political ambitions, Trump suggested Reform UK could become a major force in British politics. "Nigel understands what the people want," Trump declared.
6. Warning About US Election Integrity
Looking ahead to the 2024 US election, Trump claimed without evidence that Democrats were already planning to "rig" the vote. Election experts have repeatedly debunked such claims.
The interview has sparked fierce debate across the political spectrum, with critics accusing Trump of spreading misinformation while supporters praise his "straight-talking" approach. As both the US and UK head toward crucial elections, Trump's influence on global politics shows no signs of waning.
