Donald Trump is tired. He’s defeated. He’s embarrassed. His interactions with the press today and his NASA speech were sad, low energy and quite pathetic. When a sociopathic narcissist loses is when they’re at their most dangerous. His greatest fear in life is to be laughed at. And he hears the laughter. He feels his power slipping away. He’s scared and afraid of being exposed now that his cronies and enablers can no longer protect him from any oversight whatsoever. In fact, Hakeem Jeffries’ first bill he puts on the floor should force him to return his Qatari airplane bribe, forcing every Republican to go on record about whether or not they support the corruption and self-dealing that MAGA swears they hate. Lame duck or not, POTUS still has enormous levers of power at their disposal. Don’t be surprised when he attempts to wield those levers to go after his political enemies, start a war, or pardon his buddies in the Epstein files. BUT, for the first time I’m hopeful and encouraged that the Trump cult coalition is over and that our country will not stand for or allow the thug that has disgraced the Oval Office for the better part of a decade to run roughshod over the constitution anymore.

Stoppage time winner for #Guiseley. Wouldn't have minded going today but I have pre-arranged plans in Peterlee. Hopefully a home draw next round for Guiseley (that doesn't clash with a Sunderland game) and I can get to that one.

So true.
Trump's British fan club has gone very quiet over the last few days. Truss, Farage, Tice, Braverman, Patel & Lowe, all usually quick to praise their orange Jesus. Nothing stopped them kissing his butt; fraud & sexual abuse convictions, violent attacks on Congress & pointless attacks on Iran that have wrecked the world economy, sucking up to Putin, abusing women journalists & accusing migrants of pet eating; all perfectly fine! What they can't cope with is their hero suffering a humiliating series of election defeats. What a spineless bunch they are.

This is a lot of words for "I'm an opportunistict asshole who once called the President Hitler and threw out my spine for a seat on the couch in the Oval."

I would like to confirm that I have NOT voluntarily given up my regular column in The Telegraph on a matter of principle. This is clearly nonsense because a) I have no principles b) I would never knowingly turn down cash

Interesting and perfectly rational, if uncomfortable, take. Not going to deny but I am slightly concerned by both Hume and O'Nien in a Premier League back four. Not convinced either are genuine Premier League level players.
Unpopular opinion: Hume is shite and should be nowhere near the time when everyone is fit. He was average in the Championship but everyone loves and overrates him just because he throws himself into slide tackles. Starting him, O’Nien and Rigg would get anyone relegated #SAFC

Pressure has turned on RLB after yesterday but I would look to keep him until the end of season. Scoreline was disastrous but that was more down to bad defensive errors rather than what otherwise happened on the field. Game stats were in #safc's favour. #keepthefaith #rlb

In the latest episode of ‘Great Vetting By Reform’, my former bodyguard Ryan Dinnage has been jailed for eight years for raping a woman while she slept in a caravan. He was charged in 2025, but still worked for me in April and May this year.

Darren Ambrose has said Habib Diarra was excellent at start of last season. He was injured after about two games and didn't come back into side until AFCON time.

Embarrassing Arsenal appealing that Dowman red card. He can't get liberties just because he's 16.

Tommy Robinson was seen smiling and laughing as he left court, having just heard the good news that he has been found guilty, which means he can start asking gullible morons to give him money for his appeal, then for his release campaign.

To be absolutely clear, I am happy for people to like Tommy Robinson posts, provided they delete their entire social media history if they want to become a Reform candidate. Being a far right scumbag is fine, provided you hide it until we get into power.

Kane has been one of the world's very best players for the last decade. Still baffles me that Michael Owen once won it in 2001 and both Beckham and Lampard got as high as second. Far better world players than those three when they were placed. However, Kane is equal of very best.

Very happy for Harry Kane winning Ballon D'Or. I had assumed a few weeks back that a Spanish player would have won it after their excellent World Cup win but suppose they didn't have a definitive standout player. I think Kane is a deserved winner.

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

Relaxing with a beer by the Baltic in the port city of Sopot and reflecting on an epic few days following Sunderland in Poznan. A brilliant experience in great company, and memories for a lifetime. No regrets whatsoever in choosing Poznan over Portugal. Roll on AC Milan away.

He expected the BBC to fold and pay up just like the US networks did. This is a clear example of how standing up to bullies works

At Leeds Bradford Airport for an early flight to Poland for Lech Poznan away. Lots of red and white on this flight to Gdansk.

If only they hated pedophiles as much as they hate women.
If there’s one photo to sum up the Trump era, this is it.
