Good grief. What a pathetic baby.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

Not sure how long Farage is going to get away with this sort of thing….
Long enough to get into No.10 where he can fully screw the country over? Or could he (for love of god) be investigated before then?
Racism aside (which should end his career), he’s just so bloody corrupt…

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.
