I'm pretty sure I can fill the blank in here.

Nothing happened.

People might have forgotten already that Trump use to write umpteen stupid things on Twitter every day and prance around in front of a helicopter before saying some stupid things.

Lots to report and mock.

..which is why it doesn't report the successes of the new US president

He hasn't had any successes yet.

Did you expect US legislation to move at lightening speed?
Although if he achieved something in twelve months, it would be at lightening speed compared to the current UK government legislating for something not in their own interest.
The only time the UK government legislates quickly is to award multi-million pound contracts to their friends.

Won't happen. The NRA are more powerful than any US government, that's been demonstrated time after time, president over president.

Here we go. The UK luvvie's favourite president is now planning to put tariffs on UK goods. What a friend.

But there's more. The lefties bleating about the UK not taxing the big [US] tech firms enough, and minimum wage and whatnot have got what they wanted - more UK tax .... and more UK tarriffs being imposed. Lovely.

Wtf are you lot on about?
His main point was you rarely hear anything from the new President.
It’s the truth, don’t twist it (again)
He gave his first proper press conference last week after SIXTY FOUR days.
The longest a president has taken to do this for 100 years.
He’s facing racism claims from within his own party but you don’t hear anything about it over here.
There have also been several mass shootings which has highlighted the fact that he would put forward changes in gun laws on day one.
Nothing happened.

Yes the problem with Notch and JD and their ilk is that they can't debate a point but wonder off on some random rant about other unrelated things.

They know the point is valid that the UK press spouted out 4 years of negativity just because they didn't like Trump, and very little of what Trump said and did had any relevance to the UK. And by the same token, the luvvies are silent on the really evil despots and regimes around the world. How many Uighur threads has Notch started? How much has JD discussed Saudi repression?

Are you one of the people who thought a Brexit UK would be at the front of the queue?

You'll be telling me next that "we hold all the cards."

Most of the time they don't have a point. They just bat for the lefties whilst other posters bat for the righties (who don't have a point either much of the time). For most this is a forum for wasting a few spare minutes. For a few, it's a place to have a say, try to brag about the fukall they have, lie about their successes or maybe stand up for themselves, which they can't do in real life. Notch, JD, Noseall, Glanshead etc are pinning their flag to the lefty mast. Hence no mention of any crap around the world involving brown people. Others will rave over Boris, Trump, Reesmogg etc, just to wind up the lefties.
Rest assured, nothing in the real world changes. Obama, Trump, Biden-same crap, different day. Brexit, Covid etc etc, same old, same old.

By your logic we can safely assume you support the Myanmar army crackdown on civilians, because I've not seen you start any threads about it.

A trade war is no good to anyone. Most national leaders understand that.

The US has warned it could put tariffs of up to 25% on a host of UK exports in retaliation for a UK tax on tech firms.​

Pity we weren't still a member of the EU.

Correct. Woody forgets that Trump courted the publicity, fed off it and needed it like a drug. Not the press's fault that he is a fat ridiculous orange, lying, racist, horror of a human being, is it.

Brilliant, just brilliant.

Woody claims I engage in whataboutery.....then in his next paragraph.....rants on about something totally unrelated.
