Liz Truss Posts Photo with Donald Trump, Declares Him ‘Right About Everything’
Liz Truss recently posted a photograph of herself with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence. The former British Prime Minister referred to Trump as “right about everything” while expressing her continued support for him and the MAGA movement.
Truss and Trump: A Political Reunion
This encounter comes after Truss has been vocal about her admiration for Trump, particularly following her brief term as Prime Minister from September to October 2022. During this seven-week period, her government implemented significant tax cuts that contributed to the pound falling to a 37-year low.
Support for MAGA and Political Resilience
Truss has been a steadfast supporter of Trump, asserting that the “deep state” adversely affected her premiership. In a recent episode of her podcast, “The Liz Truss Show,” she mentioned her intentions to ignite a “Trump-style counter-revolution” against perceived assaults on freedom.
- Truss’s claim: The deep state attempted to derail her leadership.
- Vowed to launch a counter-revolution in December.
- Last year, she called for a UK version of the MAGA movement.
While at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, Truss criticized the state of her country, suggesting it was “failing.” She encouraged entrepreneur Elon Musk to scrutinize what she referred to as the “British deep state.”
Trump’s Controversial Past
As Truss embraces her relationship with Trump, the former president faces backlash for recent controversial actions, including a video he posted depicting Barack and Michelle Obama in a derogatory manner. This video was removed from Truth Social shortly after its publication, with a White House official stating it was posted “erroneously.” Trump did not apologize, claiming he hadn’t viewed the content fully.
Public Reaction
In response to the video, Obama has expressed that such behavior is viewed as troubling by many Americans. He emphasized that decency and kindness still resonate with the public despite the distractions created by such controversies.
This photo of Truss and Trump symbolizes not only their political alliance but also the ongoing discussions surrounding populism and political identities in both the UK and the US.
