Mikey Smith, the Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) at Mirror, returned to his show on a heartfelt note after a brief absence. Addressing the audience after a warm reception, he humorously remarked, “As I was saying before I was interrupted…” before launching into a quip about Donald Trump’s recent events.
During his show, Smith expressed gratitude to those who stood by him during his suspension, including Charlie Kirk and his wife Erika. He clarified the controversial comments that led to his temporary removal and criticized the decision as being anti-American, directing his disapproval towards FCC Chair Brendan Carr and President Trump.
Concurrently, Donald Trump delivered an intense speech, widely regarded as one of his most erratic. The former President’s remarks and actions overnight stirred significant attention in the political sphere. Smith’s emotional return to the show included a sincere explanation and apology for inadvertently causing offense with his previous statements.
Moreover, Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly raised eyebrows for various reasons. From boasting about his approval ratings to criticizing the UN’s operations, Trump’s rhetoric was met with mixed reactions. Notably, his remarks on climate change, North Sea oil drilling, and wind energy sparked controversy and drew diverse responses.
