Liz Truss turned up at the RNC to fawn over Donald Trump and got owned into the next administration – 19 top comments
The Republican National Convention is what you’d get if you crossed a Conservative Party Conference with a televangelist, and made them all smoke crack beforehand.
It was dramatic enough before Trump got his elevated shoes over the threshold, but the current one makes a three-ring circus look like your Great Aunt Doreen’s 95th birthday party at the care home.
On day 1, Trump turned up with a massive dressing on his ear, was overwhelmingly voted in as the Republican candidate for the election, announced J.D. Vance as his running mate – and fell asleep.
Trump fell asleep at the RNC.
On the first night.
He just got there.pic.twitter.com/IANdR3c6u1

In fairness to the guy, he’s 78 and he’s had a lot going on.
That doesn’t even include anything anyne else did, like the potential VP calling the UK an Islamist state, or the Speaker getting the collywobbles because his teleprompter packed in.
Guess who’s back
To prove how unhinged the whole thing is – look who was invited.
Well, we presume she was invited, but we can’t rule out the possibility that she turned up without warning and they all hid behind the couch until she’d stopped knocking and peering through the windows.
Her presence may have been absolutely useless to the RNC, but it was a comedic gift to Twitter/X.

Never expected to feel sorry for Liz Truss but this is just awful to watch. Whatever is happening to her shouldn't be happening in public. https://t.co/OpO0bNTw1H

Embarrassing herself, embarrassing the Tories and embarrassing the UK but at least she's no longer embarrassing Norfolk. https://t.co/oxC9VluBbM

The funny thing is that she thinks she can do a Farage and revitalise her dead political career in the US right wing weirdosphere but she has the charisma of a turnip and nobody at the RNC has a clue who she is https://t.co/RhRp2AcBOZ

I hope you can do for the Republican Party what you did for the Conservative Party
