Liz Truss says Donald Trump has been proven right about everything.

Liz Truss claimed Donald Trump has been “proven right about pretty much everything” – but that’s not exactly accurate.

The former prime minister, who famously spent just 49 days in Downing Street, has become one of the US president’s biggest cheerleaders.

Since being re-elected, Trump has upended the global economy by imposing tariffs on foreign imports, appeared to side with Russia over the Ukraine war and had critics fearing for American democracy with his sweeping use of executive orders.

This is not normal.
