It didn't take long for the establishment's favorite green-energy experiment in the UK to completely implode, and Donald Trump was ready with the autopsy. Sitting in the Oval Office, surrounded by the press, Trump was asked by the BBC's Bernd Debusmann what he thought about UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer throwing in the towel. Trump, always the master of the backhanded diplomatic blessing, dropped a classic: "I wish him well."

But the pleasantries stopped there. Trump immediately went to work exposing the absolute train wreck of Starmer’s policy decisions. According to Trump, Starmer’s political career suffered from two self-inflicted wounds: "energy and immigration." Specifically, Starmer's crusade against North Sea oil and his obsession with unreliable renewables completely wrecked his political standing, proving once again that going woke eventually leads to going broke.

The British political class thought they could save the planet by shutting down their own North Sea oil rigs and importing energy from elsewhere while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for expensive wind and solar schemes. Trump pointed out the obvious: destroying your own energy sector is political suicide. The public doesn't care about elite virtue-signaling when they can't afford to heat their homes.

Then there’s the border issue. Starmer’s administration completely fumbled the bag on immigration, letting the country’s borders become a free-for-all. Trump’s blunt assessment that immigration was one of Starmer’s "two problems" is a polite way of saying the British public got tired of a government that cared more about foreign nationals than its own citizens.

This entire episode is a hilarious validation of what populists have been saying for years. You cannot run a country on vibes, climate guilt, and open borders. The moment reality hits, the whole house of cards collapses, leaving elite leaders scrambling to resign before things get even worse.

Trump didn't even bother saying who he wants to see replace Starmer. Why would he? Whoever takes over is going to have to clean up a massive, state-sponsored mess. If the next British leader doesn't immediately reverse course on the green energy scam and get serious about locking down the border, they’ll be facing the exact same fate.

The mainstream media is left trying to figure out how their golden boy's administration collapsed so quickly. But for anyone paying attention, the writing was on the wall. You can't tax your citizens into prosperity or replace your workforce overnight without facing some major blowback.

As Trump wraps up another presser having stated the obvious, the UK is left picking up the pieces of a failed progressive experiment. Let’s see if the next occupant of 10 Downing Street has the brains to turn on the oil pumps and shut the front door, or if they’ll keep speedrunning their way to political oblivion.
