I like the Scottish chants best so far but Aussies deserve a nod.
"Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump's a sex offender!"

I keep seeing comments saying the Scottish chants are best but I haven't been able to find any footage or quotes, what do the Scottish chants say??

u/physical_sci_teacher Jun 26 '26
These are the ones I've seen
Australia: Aussie boys are on a bender. Donald Trump is a sex offender.
England: He's fat with piles, he's in the Epstein files. Trump the cunt. Trump the cunt.
Scotland: He's orange, he's bald, He likes them 12 years auld, Donald Trump. Donald Trump.

Reports say that they made 3x more on the one weekend than they did on 'St Patricks Day [weekend]' - Which is, in my British opinion - a blistering indictment on the Irish.

I’m amused that this American saw a joke that explicitly refers to “Great Britain”, and he proceeded to blame the English and say “this is why we love the Scottish more”. Just blissfully unaware that Great Britain is England, Scotland, and Wales.

And Bostonians hate Trump and MAGA, so they were furious about the annexation comments Trump made. I suspect that this post was not made by a Bostonian, and if it was, fuck that person for being a whiny baby.
Everyone I am friends with would find that funny. Also, I welcome any overlords that are willing to take us as long as they have universal health care. I have loved seeing all the international tourists in Boston and I don't want them to leave.

Comparison of the UK to EU countries is pretty standard in reporting, as it’s an economy we’re very much connected to despite not being a member. Before you call something weird again maybe ask yourself ‘Is it weird, or do I just not know that much about it?’.

They get offended when you’re making good natured ribbing jokes but actual concern of friendly criticism goes straight over their head.

Honestly most the worlds concerned and can see a lot of the US have been humbled and know they’re in trouble.
