I don't think there is any doubt about the relationship between the UK people and the American people.

We have both seen many leaders come and go including the dumb arse ones and we are still the same.

I think at present we have empathy for each other for both having leaders who care little for the people.

Neither will last forever.

Our relationship is still cool 8)

How is trying to throw away our best friendships while courting monsters diplomatic?


He is not courting them he is showing them respect whilst negotiating.

He can be more hostile to allies because nothing will realistically come of it.

And I thought what Trump was doing was called appeasement! Trump seems to be deferring to these strongmen because strongmen have historically befriended and supported one another.
Nothing can happen with showing hostility to his allies?!?!?! They can distance themselves from Trump, hence America, leaving us with only homicidal a$$holes.
