Trump says – President Donald Trump used a Truth Social post on June 21 to say British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will step down, after Starmer announced a ban on social media for children under 16. Trump tied the resignation to criticisms of immigration and energy, as po
On June 21, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer “will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,” adding a blunt verdict on two issues he says Starmer handled poorly: immigration and energy.
Trump’s message came at the same time as fresh political attention in the United States and abroad. He wrote, “Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!”
Starmer’s resignation claim landed after Starmer announced a separate, highly visible policy: a ban on social media sites for children under 16. Starmer said, “It will make our children happier.”
The Trump post also followed reporting that Starmer had been considering his political future on Sunday. The trigger. according to that reporting. was political pressure after Andy Burnham won an election to the British parliament. prompting more ministers within Britain’s governing Labour Party to call for Starmer’s exit.
The timing matters for reasons beyond British politics. Trump’s announcement of Starmer’s departure comes as U.S. officials and the president’s administration seek to move international attention toward ending the ongoing Iran war—an issue drawing increased focus in Washington and across global capitals.
Seen together. the sequence stacks three separate currents: Starmer’s new restriction on social media for children under 16. the internal British push for his exit after Andy Burnham’s election win. and Trump’s own public case—laid out in all caps—for why he believes Starmer should go. Each piece points in a different direction. but they converge on the same moment: June 21. when Trump chose to spell out the leadership shift in real time.

So Trump just… declared he’ll resign? Like that’s how it works? lol
Can’t believe Starmer is banning social media for kids when energy is the real problem. Also open North Sea oil?? I mean at least somebody said it.
Wait is this the same Keir Starmer that got mad about immigration or is that someone else? I swear I saw a TikTok saying he already resigned like a week ago, so idk what’s true.
Trump tying it to immigration and energy is kinda wild, but also UK politics move fast. The article says social media ban under 16 makes kids happier… but won’t that just make them sneak accounts? And Iran war attention? Seems like everything is connected somehow.
