Trump labeled Spain a “loser,” stating: “We have a lot of winners, but Spain is a loser, and UK has been very disappointing.” He described Spain as “very hostile to NATO,” adding that it was “the only one that voted against the 5% payment” for defense contributions, and called it “very hostile to everyone.” He emphasized: “Not a team player, and we’re not going to be a team player with Spain either.”

Regarding Starmer, Trump addressed reports that he had privately called him a “loser,” responding: “Well, he’s not Winston Churchill, let me put it that way.”

Trump expressed frustration over Starmer’s reluctance to provide full support, particularly in allowing U.S. use of British military bases for operations against Iran. He said: “It was very disappointing — his performance, having to do with our tremendous attack on a hostile nation.” He added that Starmer “should be giving us, without question or hesitation, things like bases where we can use others,” and stressed: “We should [be able to] certainly count on them.” Trump concluded: “I was very surprised at Keir. Very disappointed.”

The remarks highlight Trump’s irritation with certain NATO allies’ perceived lack of cooperation during the ongoing conflict with Iran.

For what it’s worth, we are in full agreement with Trump: Starmer is absolutely no Winston Churchill.

That said… let’s be honest—Winston Churchill wasn’t exactly “Winston Churchill” either.
