Liz Truss said Britain needs a Donald Trump, and Britain begged to differ – 14 top takes
It’s unlikely to come as much of a shock to anyone to learn that those working around former PM Liz Truss consider her to be psychologically unsuited to the Downing Street job.
Turns out that it didn't just seem as if Liz Truss was mental … Liz Truss is ACTUALLY mental.

We’d humbly suggest that she’s also economically, diplomatically and cerebrally unsuited, and a recent comment from Lettuce Liz makes our point beautifully.
Liz Truss, speaking in New Delhi has said “Frankly, I think we need a British Trump. The question is who that individual might be.”

The UK hasn’t recovered from the man Trump called ‘Britain Trump’ – Boris Johnson – and certainly isn’t in good enough shape to cope with another one.
Here’s the internet’s verdict.
1.
Britain needs a Donald Trump about as much as America needs a Liz Truss.

Doesn't need Bletchley Park to decode that the individual is her.

Yes, Liz. If only Britain would elect a far-right, racist, sexually abusive bigot with a total disregard for the law. Such a shame we never tried that.

Why limit it to a human? Could be a salad vegetable…

The woman is mad!
What aspect of Trump does she think we need?
The dodgy business man? The liar? The inconsistent vacillator? The fraud? The charlatan? The religious fraud? The narcissist? The misogynist? The sexual predator?
Or a politician using oral violence to incite his followers?

We tried that experiment with the biggest clown we could find, Boris. It failed miserably.

Just as well she's always wrong.

Honestly feel like Liz Truss is just saying stuff for the sake of saying stuff

Joey Essex giving his views on the Large Hadron Collider would be more relevant than Liz Truss commenting on British politics. Stop giving that useless lettuce airtime

Definitive proof that we don't need a British Trump.

He’s called Judd. He’s pretty good at snooker. And we definitely don’t need an orange one, thank you…

Hatstand crazy Liz Truss flies to New Delhi to tell them that Britain needs its own version of adjudicated rapist/racist Donald Trump
Galloping clown show…

There's a certain craven madness to British politicians expressing admiration for a foreign leader who plans to put a 10% tariff on exports to the UK's biggest trade partner other than the EU.

There was only one credible name in the hat.
So, someone from a wealthy family who became a reality TV personality? Susannah from Trinny & Susannah.

It’s probably time.
Good Grief….
