You can dress Donald Trump up, you can present him as some kind of semi-functioning human being, you can sane-wash his policies so that they look more normal than they really are. You can do all these things, but he will always perform down to the very basest expectation you can imagine of him.
All of the political dynamics melted into the air and you were just left with your root social reaction: how utterly cringe-worthy this is. How mortifying.
Trump was polite in response, offering all the usual platitudes about the “special relationship”. At the banquet, he said the US and UK were like “two notes in one chord” – a bog-standard Hallmark line, but one which is obviously far too elegant to have originated in his mind and was most likely written for him. Regardless, it must have really pained him to say these pretty, pleasant things, to be so restrained, to not be able to express his jagged, petulant thoughts for days at a time.

Trump seemingly hates Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan for the same reason all the far-right keyboard warriors do: because he is a living refutation of their world view. He demonstrates that Islam can easily coexist with western society. He celebrates gay pride. He celebrates Chanukah. He celebrates Eid. And by doing so, he shows that there is no contradiction between these activities.
Trump says London has been “so changed”, but in fact, London has been like this for a very long time. The London he is speaking about existed only in his imagination – a white place, for white people, living white lives. If London ever did look how Trump wants it to, it would be because this country had ceased to exist in any modern context at all, degrading into a Disneyland of the past, the version of itself which most suits the passing nostalgia of American reactionaries.
They should have laughed at him. This was a prime chance for mockery and one which UN delegates wasted. It’s what he deserved. It’s the level of seriousness this kind of rhetoric invites. And yet – outside of scattered bemused reactions – they failed to do it.
“Trump was met with derisory laughter when he addressed the general assembly back in 2018,” the Spectator said, whipping itself into a sense of constructed schadenfreude. “Not so yesterday. Delegates sat in stunned silence… The last laugh, indeed.” The Telegraph entertained a similar sense of delight. “No one is laughing at Trump now,” it said.
Honestly, it would have been much better if the delegates had laughed. When you strip away this type of coverage, with all its mock seriousness and sense of destiny, Trump appears as he is – just a sad little man, as incapable of expressing a coherent thought as he is of being a gracious guest. He is lost in the outer reaches of his garbled mind, occasionally stumbling into seemingly racist fantasies about a London that never existed, barely refraining from insulting the people whose house he sleeps in.
Britain should not be annoyed by his absence of common decency, any more than the UN should be offended by his tirade of Islamophobic commentaries. We would do better to mock him instead, as the joke he truly is. That is the level of response he deserves.
