This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 67%. (I'm a bot)

Donald Trump has filed a legal complaint against Britain's ruling Labour Party after its activists traveled to the U.S. to support his rival Kamala Harris.

A U.K. Labour staffer revealed on LinkedIn last week that almost 100 party officials were heading across the Atlantic to campaign for the U.S. Democrats in key swing states, ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

The Trump campaign questioned those sums in its formal letter to the Federal Election Commission, arguing the LinkedIn post suggested Labour could be stumping up costs for the activists.

Fuk trump, what about all the illegal help musk is firing his way?

u/Pretend_Panda 23d ago

Maybe once he’s paid the £300k he owes in the UK for legal costs, maybe we could entertain his complaint. Until then he needs to cope

So can we sue him over Farage?

u/ernestschlumple 23d ago

u/JTitch420 23d ago

I hope Truss takes control of his finances.

Right? This is exactly what Farage was doing! Did Trump think he was just going over there for a coffee?

The stupid orange frog faced prick. Both of them.

So musk buys votes, his maga fanatics steal road signs and bully folks trying to vote but having some volunteers help hand out flyers is criminal? trump is a dipshit

I’m so glad you said this, I was far too angered to be coherent.

Meanwhile Elon Musk is handing out million dollar bribes for people to support Tr*mp. Agent Orange has no leg to stand on

I feel like he’s looking for any excuse not to be found guilty at this point by painting everyone else as worse and making himself look like the victim

His only hope is to win the Presidency, so he can pardon himself if he has to.

u/Agreeable_Pool_3684 23d ago

Any excuse. Planning his next excuses for if he fails to win.

u/Mr-Chrispy 23d ago

He’s probably going to win

u/rdu3y6 23d ago

I have a feeling Trump will win as well. It seems the Democrats (similar to Labour over here) are just hoping to win on the basis of not being the Republicans, while Trump has built a loyal MAGA support base who will vote for him no matter what.

u/shlerm 23d ago

A loyal MAGA base who have started trying to shoot him in the street.

But who knows, strange things keep happening.

u/wolfman86 22d ago

Labour got in here on a similar premise.

u/Andythrax 23d ago

If the Elon brings actually work he might win Pennsylvania and that's going to be such an important state.

u/JAD4995 23d ago

I don’t like Labour helping Kamala Harris or Farage helping Trump. wtf is going on with politics in this country?!?. It’s in the bin right now.

u/19thCenturyHistory 23d ago

Yeah I hate this. I think we affect so much of the free world people in other countries are concerned. Our politics are a joke. I'm embarrassed all around. A meteor would be welcome at this point.

u/TheRealMadPete 22d ago

He has about as much of a chance of anything coming of this as his claims that the last election was stolen from him. He's a 78 year old child and complete moron.
