In a plot twist that sounds like it was written during a Red Bull bender in a military bunker, Donald J. Trump — former president, full-time chaos goblin — has endorsed Keir Starmer’s Chagos Islands deal. Yes, that’s right: the man who once tried to buy Greenland has now weighed in on one of Britain’s most diplomatically fraught legacies… and decided Starmer’s plan is fine unless it causes drama. In which case, he’ll apparently parachute in the 101st Airborne.
🧨 When Imperial Luggage Meets American Baggage
According to Trump (speaking via golf cart, probably), the return of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is “smart,” “historic,” and “probably great for everyone” — but also “not a green light for chaos.” In Trumpspeak, that’s code for: I love what you’re doing, until I hate it, and then I send tanks.
He warned that if trouble brews — trouble being loosely defined as “any headlines I don’t like” — the U.S. military will be deployed faster than his next indictment. Because when you think of sensitive British diplomatic issues, you definitely think of unsolicited American firepower.
Meanwhile, Starmer, who likely wanted to be congratulated by literally anyone else, now has the foreign policy equivalent of a glitter bomb stuck to his trousers. Congratulations! You’ve got bipartisan support from across the Atlantic — and it comes with marines and a MAGA cap.
Honestly, if this alliance gets any more unhinged, we’ll be renaming Diego Garcia to “Camp Trumpington Freedom Base 1.”
What’s more terrifying: Starmer dragging Labour into geopolitical minefields with colonial guilt attached — or Trump suddenly playing world police again like he’s the sheriff of the Indian Ocean? Either way, we’re all going to need popcorn and protective goggles. Drop your thoughts in the blog comments — not just your cousin’s Facebook thread. 🍿🧠
