Trump Throws Shade at Starmer with Hilarious ‘Scared PM’ Sketch
Donald Trump has slammed Sir Keir Starmer again by sharing a comedy sketch on Truth Social that paints the UK Prime Minister as too scared to call the US President. The jab comes amid simmering tensions over Britain’s stance in the escalating Iran crisis.
Starmer ‘Frozen with Fear’ in Comedy Skit
The clip, from the UK’s version of Saturday Night Live on Sky, shows a jittery Starmer too nervous to phone Trump from Downing Street. “What if Donald shouts at me?” the Starmer actor frets to deputy David Lammy. When a fake Trump picks up, Starmer slams the phone down, petrified.
“I just hate conflict so much,” the parody Starmer admits, confessing he’s “out of my depth.”
The sketch doesn’t hold back, mocking the PM as all talk and no action. Fake Starmer vows to “say anything, do anything, except take a stand” — a line Trump happily amplified to his followers.
Trump Doubles Down on UK Bash
This public roast follows Trump’s previous digs, labelling Starmer “disappointing” and “no Churchill” for Britain’s hesitation over a tougher military role in the US-Israeli Iran showdown. Trump has also called NATO allies “cowards” for refusing to send warships to the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
On the same night he shared the sketch, Trump dropped a chilling 48-hour ultimatum on Truth Social. He threatened to “obliterate” Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t fully reopened, sparking fresh friction with London.
UK Draws Line on Military Action
Government insiders stress Britain hasn’t greenlit strikes on civilian targets, despite letting US forces operate defensively from British bases like Diego Garcia. Trump’s fiery rhetoric is pushing the limits of that delicate agreement.
Starmer’s Polls Climb Despite Public Caution
New polls reveal Brits are uneasy about deeper involvement in the conflict. Yet an Opinium survey this weekend showed Starmer’s personal ratings jumping 11 points since the strikes began — though he remains far from popular by historical standards.
Interestingly, Trump shared a censored version of the sketch, snipping out a scene where fake Starmer rejects joining Trump to start “World War 3,” comparing the UK-US alliance to the rocky romances in Friends.
