The future American ambassador to the UK was just on BBC saying that there will be a sweetheart trade deal with the UK and he hopes that it will encourage other EU members to consider their membership.

It sounded a lot like they want to break up the EU.

The POTUS has repeatedly used his bully pulpit to undermine the EU. He has consistently attempted to undermine global security and stability. He desires the collapse of the EU. Just, as he desires the end of the UN http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-united-nations-funding-cuts-abortion-israel-settlements-president-executive-order-a7546486.html.

The EU is America's greatest ally. It is the greatest bulwark for stability in the EU and counter balance to Putin's power and documented aggression. And the POTUS is deliberately, consciously and repeatedly trying to destroy it.

All of us need to wake up, and will do so, to what America First means.

Leroy42 · 26-01-2017 09:36PM

If ever the EU needed a reminder of why the EU us important Trump proves it.

He is much happier dealing with the individual countries, in a position of strenght. Look at how is dealing with Mexico.

If the UK think they will be treated any different they are deluded. Sure, they may well get a a nice deal in order that Trump can have an ally, but as soon as he doesn't 'need' May he will be off.

This is exactly how he has conducted his business life, whi do people think it wil be any different in politics since he knows nothing of politics.

Don't forget NATO, he has said that the US will not necessarily live up to its NATO commitments unless member countries pay him.

If only he'd get tough at home and sort out that basket case of a country. They're a bloody disgrace.

Beautiful nation with so much potential. It pains to see crime and corruption continue to walk hand in hand with the Mexican establishment.

Latest from Spicer is that Trump will impose a 20% tax on Mexican imports. You can't make this stuff up. So who exactly is paying this 20% tax? Yep.

A Little Pony · 26-01-2017 10:03PM

He is going to be a truly great President. Can already see it. The second coming of Alexander himself. Long may he reign.

Look at the UK, so alienated, that Mrs May is meeting Trump.

The first order of business in their meeting will be to discuss how harmful wind farms off the coast of Scotland are for international trade.

Brilliant. American consumers will end up paying 20% more for products originating in Mexico. So much for Mexico paying for his stupid #fvckingwall

No, but a good leader will not resort to posturing in the face of a challenge. Some authoritarian leaders try to look atrong, but true leaders try to open the doors of communication and dialogue in order to solve problems and avert crisis

He's a dangerous moron. The national debt and budget deficit will balloon under him.....the compete antithesis of what the Republicans stand for.

jobbridge4life · 26-01-2017 10:15PM

Theresa May prostrating herself is one of the saddest moments of Trump's Presidency to date. From Great Britain to grovelling bastards. It is too sad to watch little England confirm to the rest of the world what China said a while ago... a small island of diminishing importance.

Any man who must say "I am the king" is no true king comes to mind.

A strong leader is just strong, a little dog barks a lot to make itself look dangerous.

Actually thats what they say but in reality in power the republicans always run up the biggest deficits.

Trump is not right in the head. Having a man of his intellect in charge of the most powerful country in the world is a recipe for disaster.

The people who run that clock had it 4 minutes away from midnight in 1983, when we were within 7 minutes of nuclear war breaking out due to war games that made it look like the west had launched nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union.

Lets hope they are more accurate this time and it is not closer.
While it has moved half a minute closer to midnight, it had moved 2 minutes closer in 2015 as worries of nuclear war between the Russians and the US grew, along with climate change.

Republicans love to moan that Obama doubled the debt, but fail to realise George Bush did the exact same thing.

namloc1980 · 26-01-2017 10:23PM

Theresa May is an embarrassment, grovelling for crumbs from Trump's table.

A Little Pony · 26-01-2017 10:23PM

The UK needs to get on with the US. Theresa May is serving in the best interests of her country.

Agree... but with an important difference.

Obama doubled national debt after inheriting a collapsed economy.

GWB doubled it after inheriting a booming economy and a surplus.
