Liz Truss Faces Backlash Over Donald Trump Social Media Post

Liz Truss has generated new outrage – and widespread mockery – on social media after posting a photo of herself with US president Donald Trump.

X users seemed to find her accompanying caption particularly offensive, as the ex-UK prime minister wrote, “right about everything,” and then tagged Trump.

Truss had the shortest tenure in British history, occupying No.10 for just 45 days before she was forced out over her disastrous mini-Budget in 2022.

She then lost her seat in the 2024 general election to Labour and has since moved further towards Trump’s MAGA.

Despite no longer being an elected politician, Truss has continued to garner media attention by making increasingly outlandish statements.

Two weeks ago, she welcomed the “financial collapse” of the United Nations – even though her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng sent interest rates soaring and sank the pound by announcing £45 billion-worth of unfunded tax cuts.

Last month she claimed the “extreme left are mounting an insurrection” in the States, without any evidence.

She also expressed bewilderment on her new youtube channel – The Liz Truss Show – that the Royal Navy will not break the law for government ministers.

Her post comes just over a year after Trump returned to office.

In that time, he has threatened to invade Greenland, kidnapped Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro, almost started a trade war by slapping tariffs on countries around the world, subjected all immigrants in the US to detention, publicly declared his desire for the Nobel Peace Prize while rolling out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin, and been accused of trying to stop the files on Jeffrey Epstein from being released.

He also posted a social media video depicting predecessor Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes just last week, though that has now been removed.

It should not be too surprising that he posed for a photo with Truss the president used quotes from her to support his $10 billion defamation case against the BBC in December.

But social media users were still utterly horrified that a former British prime minister chose to use that caption in particular…
