THE TELEGRAPH: US president impersonates PM, mocking him over aircraft carriers at White House lunch
Donald Trump has mocked Sir Keir Starmer as weak over his response to the war with Iran.
The US president impersonated the Prime Minister, claiming he had told him he had to “ask his team” about sending “two old broken-down aircraft carriers” to the Middle East.
Speaking at an White House Easter lunch, Mr Trump said Britain “should be our best” ally, but had not been during the US-Israeli war with Iran.
The president said: “I asked [the] UK, who should be our best. In fact the King is coming over here in two weeks, he’s a nice guy, King Charles.
“But should be our best but they weren’t our best. I said ‘you have two, old broken-down aircraft carriers, do you think you could send them over’?”
Impersonating Sir Keir with a weak voice, Mr Trump added: “‘Ohhh, I’ll have to ask my team’. » | Telegraph Reporters | Friday, April 3, 2026
There's plenty of material for us to mock Trump; in fact, the supply is limitless!
What a crass man Trump is! Totally unworthy of the office he holds. Is this man really the best man Americans could kick up to lead them? Is America so short of talent that they have to elect/re-elect a man of this low calibre for the highest office in the land? — © Mark Alexander
