Donald Trump has been branded a “dangerous and corrupt gangster” by a politician in the UK.
Speaking at the House of Commons, the leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats party accused the US President of being “immoral.” He also urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to advise King Charles to cancel his upcoming visit to the United States. The monarch is due to travel to America later this year to mark the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey made the comments on the record
Referencing Trump’s recent Truth Social post about Iran, in which he threatened that “a whole civilisation will die,” Ed Davy said these were words he “never thought” would come from an American president.
“These words are a stark reminder of how reckless, immoral, and completely outside the bounds of international law this president is,” he went on. To that end, the politician argued that Trump is “no friend” of the UK. He also suggested that he is “no leader of the free world” either.
Next, the Liberal Democrat accused Trump of being a “dangerous and corrupt gangster.”
“And that is how we must treat him,” he went on, before calling on the British PM to take action.
“So, will the Prime Minister advise the King to call off his state visit to Washington before it’s too late?” Ed asked. “Because I really fear for what Trump might say or do while our King is forced to stand by his side. We cannot put His Majesty in that position.”
The politician’s comments come at a difficult time for Trump. The president is currently facing a sharp decline in his popularity. This stemmed from the war in Iran, but has been further fueled by an image he recently posted on social media and an ongoing feud with the Pope.
