The British tabloids, it appears, are a lot more willing to heavily criticize Donald Trump than most newspapers in the U.S.
One example came this week, when Trump ranted at the United Nations General Assembly on a variety of subjects, including his erroneous belief that London is under sharia law.
The U.K.’s Mirror newspaper, in an extremely busy front page, put the headline “DERANGED” over a picture of Trump on the UN podium, along with “the world’s most powerful manbaby,” and the sub-subhead “Trump rants to UN about climate, migrants, Gaza, Sadiq’s ‘sharia London,’ escalators, marble floors and teleprompters.”
This is today’s front page of the Daily Mirror after his UN fiasco.

The Mirror story itself ran down the things Trump talked about in that speech.
“In a speech to the United Nations, he said immigration was ruining European countries and urged Keir Starmer to open more oil fields in the North Sea, as he declared global warming a ‘hoax.’ He doubled down on his feud with Sadiq Khan, making a baseless allegation that the London Mayor was trying to impose Sharia law in the capital,” The Mirror wrote.
“He said the UN was ‘not living up to its potential’ and suggested it operates in a corrupt manner. Mr. Trump arrived on stage complaining that the teleprompter was broken and that an escalator had broken down on his way into the building. Delegates and observers chuckled as he recounted having bid on the contract to refurbish the United Nations HQ in New York.”
Liar-in-Chief Donald Trump’s speech to the UN was like a petulant child airing a litany of grievances unfounded in truth or logic while having a childish tantrum because nobody takes him seriously!

He also complained that years ago, in his time as a New York real estate developer, he had bid on the contract to redevelop the U.N. building, but his bid hadn’t been chosen.
“They spent between $2 and $4 billion and didn’t even get the marble floors I was promising. Looking at the building and getting stuck on the escalator…they still haven’t finished the job.”
On his show this week, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell praised the front page:
