‘THE UK IS DYING’ Trump takes swipe at Burnham as Starmer exit row grows

The new guy's coming in, Andy Burnham.What do you know about him, Mr. President?And what does he need to do to improve the relationship between our two countries?

The new incoming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham.

I don't know anything.I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town.I hear he's extremely liberal.Extremely.So that means he probably won't open up the North Sea.You know, I gave Keir Starmer some pretty good advice.

I said, open up the North Sea.Go to Aberdeen, which was the hottest city in the whole continent.It was the oil city.It was the oil of Europe.And they closed everything.It was terrible.

I saw it before my eyes, and I couldn't believe it.The North Sea is loaded.I have had every oil company come to see me.Sir, could you give us access to the UK?We would do anything to drill in the North Sea.And they haven't even found what's there.

The amazing thing is they buy their oil from Norway, which gets the oil from the North Sea.Think of it.And they pay a big premium.Norway's got now $2 trillion in the bank.And UK is dying.So they should open up the North Sea.

It's an easy one.And a lot of good things are going to happen.It's, you know, it's among the greatest fields in the world.

Our new Prime Minister will be installed in a matter of weeks, could be three or four weeks.Would you want to be the first person on his list to visit globally?

No, but I think we're probably of a different persuasion.He's very liberal.But, you know, I got along well with Stormer.I disagreed with Stormer.I said, you have two problems, immigration and energy.And crime, too, by the way.

Crime.You have a terrible mayor of London, by the way.I don't want to cause any problems, but your mayor of London is grossly incompetent, a bad person, and a horrible representative for your country.You know that.That's why you're here.smiling and laughing, and it's true.

But you know that.The mayor of London is a horror show.But you have a crime problem.You have an immigration problem.The immigration helps cause the crime, by the way.And you have a tremendous energy problem.

You're building stupid windmills all over the country, and they don't do the job.You have the greatest oil field in the world, one of them.It's called the North Sea Oil.All you have to do is bid it out to Exxon, Chevron, Shell, British Petroleum.They're begging to go there and pay billions of dollars.And because the left is so crazy, they don't want the money.

And the country is losing.I mean, it's going to go.Your country is going to go bankrupt.Think of it.You have one of these.Now, most countries don't have that.

You have the North Sea oil and you have the best part of it.Think of it.You go to Norway.who doesn't have the best part of it, and you give them, and they have $2 trillion in the bank.You know, they have $2 trillion, maybe more, because the UK pays them all this money, and others.But you have one of the greatest deals.

And I told this guy 15 times, and he wouldn't do it.I said, you're going to lose your prime ministership.And he did.In fact, I called him about three days earlier.Remember, I said he was leaving?I wonder if that nudged him out.

Mr. President, on Iran, sir, would you block a final Iran deal if it included any kind of fees on shipping or maritime activities?It would be unacceptable to me.

Because we have numerous straits, and if you did that for them, you'd have to do it for other people.You have other straits.I wouldn't allow it there either.Yeah, it would be a game -changer.

And have you made progress on munitions building in Europe?

That's obviously something — Yeah, we always make progress.Some of the countries,And the progression?We have breaking news.The Senate has voted that they'd like Trump to stop the war.So Iran sees that, and they go, what's that all about?

Now, you know it's meaningless, right?But I had lunch with them.We had four Republican senators and all Democrats.You know, Democrats, they want to lose the war because they're stupid.That's why we call them Democrats, you know?I no longer use the E. I've changed the E into a U. We call them Democrats.

They're dumb.Their policy is so bad.That's why they have to, they are opposed to the Save America Act because they don't want voter ID.They don't want proof of citizenship.You know why?Because they have to cheat.

Their policy is so bad that if they don't cheat, they wouldn't win an election.They're phenomenal cheaters and they stick together.But you know, the people, the Democrat people, are 87 % in favor of the Save America Act.

Does the last night's results confirm that assessment?

of a political ideology I've ever seen.Chuck Schumer is Jewish, and he was a strong supporter of Israel.Not that strong, because he let the Obama, even though he was opposed to it, he let the JCPOA get through.He could have fought that harder with Barack Hussein Obama.Have you heard of him?So, but Chuck Schumer is a Palestinian now.

said.

Democrats have a problem on their hands now that, you know, Obama and Mamdani, they're two true leaders.Neither of them can run for president in 28.

Well, you know, Mandami was here, as you know, twice.And he's a very nice guy.He's a charming guy.Good looking guy.We talk.We talk.

But you can't raise taxes on people when you force them to leave your state or your city.And they're leaving and they're going to Florida.Most of them are going down to Palm Beach in Miami.They're just leaving.and they pay 90 % of your taxes.And I keep wondering, how are you going to do this?

Every day you read about somebody that's leaving for Florida, mostly Florida, and other places, but they're leaving.You can't put estate taxes on that are so high that when a loving father or mother dies and they leave it to their beautiful child, the child is supposed to pay 50 % tax.That's on top of federal tax, right?So, basically, you're leaving them nothing.What you're doing is you're just, I mean, you can be liberal, you can be anything.It's common sense.

You're forcing people to leave, and these are the people that pay the taxes.They pay 90 % of the taxes, and they're leaving New York, and they're leaving California, too.
