The disagreement over the use of British sites is behind the US president’s withdrawal of support for the Chagos Islands deal, The Times understands

Does Trump think attacking Iran is over people being woke? Wtf is this even supposed to mean

"Woke" is basically meaningless now.

It's code for "anything I don't like or agree with"

it isn't meaningless, if someone is complaining about woke stuff, it tells you that they are idiotic cunts.

Well that's mostly true but I believe that for Trump he's now just adding it into his salad because he rememebers it works for his base, just like 'Mexicans' a few years ago, but thay doesn't mean he's able to connect it to reality anymore

In 2022 maga lawyers working for Ron Desantis in Florida had to legally define woke:

"the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

So I guess Trump is saying "he'll always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them, and other problems put before them."

It would appear he's asking UK to ignore objective reality, and other problems.
