Donald Trump’s vice president running mate JD Vance said the UK was the first ‘Islamist country’ with nuclear weapons – only 13 responses you need
Donald’s Trump has chosen JD Vance as his running mate who will be vice president if the former president returns to the White House.
That Trump chose a bigoted white male extremist to be his right (way right) hand man is not a surprise. That Vance once called Trump ‘America’s Hitler’, perhaps a little more so.

We’ve rounded up all our favourite reactions here, and we mention Vance again because of what he just had to say about the UK under its new Labour government.
And it’s quite the watch.
And here he is (the man currently most likely to be US VP from next year and who could have to take power if Trump unable to continue) attacking the UK under Labour as “Islamist”. https://t.co/l9Hf6XJeMY

This is alarming. For a clever man, this is a very stupid remark. British diplomacy has its work cut out with a Trump/Vance ticket….. https://t.co/iPW99cZWsM

… and to think the UK spent the last ten years putting up as many barriers as it can against all its “foes” in Europe, eh ? https://t.co/6GJZhb7AJe
