In this episode of Trump100, host Mark Stone recounts a five-minute phone call with President Donald Trump, marking the latest in a series of direct conversations with the U.S. leader. The discussion, conducted on Trump’s personal cell phone—a rare access for a journalist—covers the upcoming royal visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the U.S., Trump’s scathing criticism of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and a veiled threat about potentially revoking a favorable UK trade deal. Trump expresses deep admiration for the British monarchy while simultaneously denouncing Starmer’s policies on energy and immigration, claiming the UK is being 'invaded' and that its energy prices are the highest in the world—claims fact-checked as misleading. Trump also asserts that the U.S. special relationship with the UK is strained, citing lack of support during critical moments, and implies it is his role to advise on British governance. Despite Trump’s calm demeanor on the call, the episode raises concerns about his mental state, referencing past erratic behavior and calls for the 25th Amendment. The episode ends with a tense, abrupt cutoff, leaving major global issues like Iran and Lebanon unaddressed.
Trump has direct, unmediated access to journalists via his personal cell phone, a rare and unprecedented practice among world leaders.

Trump’s calm, coherent tone on the phone contrasts sharply with his public performances, raising questions about authenticity and mental fitness.
