New elitist attack on Jeremy Corbyn acts as the best possible endorsement

Corbyn soon responded to Trump’s comments, saying:

A perfect endorsement

Many people on Twitter pointed out that this could hardly be a better endorsement for Corbyn, considering how terrible Trump is:

Corbyn tells the world we simply will not allow a Trump Brexit. Our NHS is #NotForSale

Trump has just called up his mate Farage to tell him how terrible Jeremy Corbyn is.

Rattled are we, Mr President? #WinWithLabour

Congenital liar Donald Trump endorsing serial liar Boris Johnson is great news for Jeremy Corbyn, fuelling fears the Tories would sell the NHS to the US and lower food standards. Trump's unpopular in the UK – @YouGov found a 67%-19% negative rating https://t.co/eqhCZOmoXJ

Great ad for Jeremy Corbyn!
Donald Trump is desperate for a Brexit trade deal that opens our NHS up to greedy American pharmaceutical companies. Only @UKLabour can save us from a Trump-Johnson-Farage 😱 alliance #VoteLabour2019 https://t.co/gCcAxYQcOD

If you weren't sure about voting for a Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour govt, this extraordinary attack on Jeremy should convince you.

Don't let Boris Johnson's Tories turn Britain into Donald Trump's poodle.https://t.co/MO2DYrXg0t

Trump attacks Corbyn on Nigel Farage’s propaganda slot?

Kicking off Labour’s campaign on the same day, meanwhile, Corbyn said the election would be a clear battle between the people and the “elites” allied with Johnson. And he hit out at “tax dodgers, bad bosses, big polluters, and billionaire-owned media holding our country back”, calling out specific elitist figures by name. There were also chants of “not for sale” as he pledged to protect the NHS from a post-Brexit trade deal between the Conservatives and Trump. Corbyn clarified:

We stand for the many. Boris Johnson’s born-to-rule Conservatives protect the privileged few. They’ve slashed taxes for the richest and vital services and support for everyone else.

With this in mind, no one should be at all surprised that Trump fears Corbyn. And the fact that the Labour leader will not bow down to elitists like Trump and Johnson is the perfect endorsement – and the perfect reason to make him prime minister.
