The end of Elon Musk’s White House bromance has been well documented but now Trump has thrown another far right figure, Nigel Farage under the bus.
Trump is due to make a State visit to Britain in September but will not get to address MPs as Parliament will be in recess.
Farage has been whining on about Parliament being recalled to allow Trump to address it.
However in an interview with the BBC Trump has said he is not bothered about this
Guardian Report 15th July 2025
Yesterday Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, said (to GB News, of course) that parliament should be recalled so that Trump could get the chance to speak in the Royal Gallery or Westminster Hall (the venues normally used for these events).
But, when O’Donoghue asked Trump about this, he discovered that the US president doesn’t agree with Farage, and isn’t bothered about the prospect of not getting the President Macron treatment.
Asked if he would like parliament to be recalled so he could make a speech there, Trump replied:
I think let them go and have a good time [ie, let MPs have their recess].
Whoever does Farage’s social media hasn’t noticed Trump’s rebuff. Farage’s demand that Trump address Parliament was still up on Tuesday evening although the owner of Reform had of course moved on to other whinges
