On 20th January 2025, President Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America, with huge relief from MAGA voters and people throughout the world. He lost no time in signing Executive Orders to kick off his Plan for America, signing many on the first day!
Many of these EOs which will ban DEI, gender 'nonsense' as he stated in his speech to Davos yesterday, are currently affecting the UK, including our membership of WHO, which Trump has currently suspended for America.
We in Britain with our disastrous Labour Party government, are hoping and praying that Trump's policies will impact us in a positive way. In the Q posts, it was stated that Trump would eventually help us, when he had sorted out his own country but things might happen sooner.
There is the question of the one hundred Labour activists that flew to American swing states to campaign for Kamala Harris just before the Presidential election on 5th November. According to an Executive Order signed in 2018 by Trump in his first presidency and never repealed, this would amount to foreign interference in US elections. These activists could be extradited, have to pay a fine or even be jailed, according to the law.
Then there is Sir Keir Starmer's pick for the UK's Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, who was an European Union Commissioner. He is in receipt of an annual pension from the EU, with one of its conditions being loyalty. Trump is known to not favour this choice and no doubt knows that Mandelson is a Globalist EU fanatic, who worked closely with Tony Blair in the '90s and 2000s to bring about the great decline of Britain. Recently, Starmer has been endeavouring to create closer ties with Britain and the EU, much to the discomfiture of the Brexit voters!
In fact we know that President Trump is not very enamoured by the European Union and recently said he might charge tariffs on their goods, as well as on Chinese, Canadian and Mexican products. Not only will this increase US revenue but it is all part of Trump's plan to bring back manufacturing to the United States.
There is another thing that happened just before the Inauguration. Starmer has committed Britain to paying £3 billion a year for the next 100 years to Ukraine! This, just before everyone knew Trump was going to negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine! Since many vital services and benefits have been drastically cut in Britain, people are rightly angry about this money being spent elsewhere!
Even worse, the British owned Chagos Islands were about to be given away to Mauritius, with a £9 billion payment gift and this was literally one week before the Inauguration! The largest island of Diego Garcia, has been a British and American military base since the 1970s and is very important strategically to the US. Luckily it was stopped in time after a huge outcry in Britain and very likely a strong intervention from Trump himself.
Through Elon Musk, who has taken a great interest in British politics recently and also through Nigel Farage, Leader of the Reform UK Party, who has been friends with Donald Trump since the Brexit Referendum of 2016, President Trump is very likely to be updated on a regular basis on the state of our nation, which is currently in dire straits and economically in recession.
President Trump has a special love for Britain, through his own mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Scottish island of Lewis in the Hebrides. Then there is Trump's Turnberry Golf Club, set on a beautiful peninsula in South Ayrshire, Scotland, where he enjoys playing,.
President Trump gave a speech yesterday to the astounded attendees of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, setting out how he is going to reverse all their damaging policies enacted and supported by President Joe Biden. The message is loud and clear to the world that their plans are seriously on life support now that he is President and many countries in Europe and throughout the world are rejoicing!
There is no doubt that the Trump Effect will influence Britain in the next few months and years and for most people here, the sooner the better!
