Tom Skinner slammed by fans as The Apprentice star reveals he loves Donald Trump

After criticizing David Lammy while praising Donald Trump as president-elect this week, a former Apprentice contestant caused a stir on social media.

Trump, 78, was declared the winner of the US presidential election in 2024 on Wednesday morning. Kamala Harris was the Democratic Party’s nominee, while the politician was the Republican Party’s.

Foreign Secretary Lammy, 52, previously criticized Trump in the wake of the news during Prime Minister’s Questions in the UK. He’s criticised Trump in the past, including reportedly calling him a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath” when he was a backbencher in 2018.

Following the news of Trump’s victory this week, Lammy tweeted: “Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on your victory. The UK and the US have a closer relationship, which has been cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. In the years to come, we look forward to working with you and @JDVance.

Thomas Skinner, 33 – who appeared on BBC’s the Apprentice in 2019 – criticised Lammy in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday afternoon. A photo of a Fanta glass on a table next to a pool was included in the article. He wrote: “David Lammy has made a proper t*t of himself hasn’t he. The UK Geeza is this. Why aren’t there real people in politics, business owners, and people who are passionate about standing up for what is right? those who had to adapt from real-world situations. Not be a weathercock”.

Thomas added: “Anyway I love Trump I think he is brilliant, that’s my opinion. I think it’s good he is back in charge, it will be good for the UK economy. The UK always swindles the United States. Our opinions are all mine, of course. I’m having a paella and a lemon fanta on Wednesday.

The tweet, which has received thousands of likes, has sparked a response on the platform. Several people objected to Thomas’ comments and questioned his support for Trump. One wrote: “Oh Tom, and I liked you so much, until just now ………” Another said as their response: “Thought better of you Tom he’s a dangerous menace”.

A third person questioned: “You have a wife and daughters. What do you think of Trump’s attitude towards women”? “Damn turns out you’re a great TV personality for the apprentice but have really dubious views on the world,” one commentator said. Shame”. Another said: “Probably not the best take Tom”.

However, a number of his followers were in agreement with him. One person wrote: “Good on you Tom you echo our sentiment perfectly.”. Someone else said: “Well said Skinner”. A third fan reacted: “Totally with you there Tom”. Whilst one person replied: “Just so you know I’m with you”!
