Liz Truss turned up at the RNC to fawn over Donald Trump and got owned into the next administration – 19 top comments

The Republican National Convention is what you’d get if you crossed a Conservative Party Conference with a televangelist, and made them all smoke crack beforehand.

It was dramatic enough before Trump got his elevated shoes over the threshold, but the current one makes a three-ring circus look like your Great Aunt Doreen’s 95th birthday party at the care home.

On day 1, Trump turned up with a massive dressing on his ear, was overwhelmingly voted in as the Republican candidate for the election, announced J.D. Vance as his running mate – and fell asleep.

In fairness to the guy, he’s 78 and he’s had a lot going on.

That doesn’t even include anything anyne else did, like the potential VP calling the UK an Islamist state, or the Speaker getting the collywobbles because his teleprompter packed in.

Guess who’s back

To prove how unhinged the whole thing is – look who was invited.

Well, we presume she was invited, but we can’t rule out the possibility that she turned up without warning and they all hid behind the couch until she’d stopped knocking and peering through the windows.

Her presence may have been absolutely useless to the RNC, but it was a comedic gift to Twitter/X.
