As
Mike Ruppert said “Pass the popcorn”
There
is very little between these two – a horrible, criminal, globalist
government in the UK with absolutely nothing to recommend it on one
side and a gauche, bigoted Trump on the other who has less panache
and diplomacy than the traditional Mafia “offer that cannot be
refused”, on the other.
Trump
piles humiliation on to Brexit-battered Britain

US
President Donald Trump rolled into the UK on Monday, dishing out
scorching insults like it was going out of fashion. Surely Brexit
Britain has suffered enough humiliation already?
Before
he had even touched down on the tarmac, Trump had already branded
London’s mayor a “stone cold loser” who has “done a terrible
job.” But he had set the ball rolling days before, calling Prince
Harry’s wife Meghan Markle “nasty” — and wading into the
Brexit debate, advising politicians to “walk away” from the deal
with the EU and touting the negotiating skills of Brexit Party leader
Nigel Farage.
It
would be difficult to imagine a role reversal; a British PM using an
official US state visit to tweet put-downs at high-profile American
political figures or berating members of Congress over domestic
failures during their stay. Yet, despite the humiliating comments,
British submissiveness to American power has been on full display, as
Trump enjoyed meet and greets with the Queen and various other
royals, all of whom, naturally, acted like nothing untoward had been
said hours earlier.
Some
political figures did take umbrage to “meddling” by their
trans-Atlantic cousins. Former Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind
complained about the “unprecedented” intervention by the
“narcissistic and egocentric” Trump, apparently forgetting that
his predecessor Barack Obama very publicly weighed into the Brexit
debate back in 2016, on the ‘Remain’ side.
Farage
called Obama’s interference “disgraceful” at the time, but on
Monday he tweeted that Trump clearly “wants Brexit to happen” and
is a “true friend” to Britain.
Between
him and Rifkind, it appears that British politicians don’t consider
American meddling as a problem per se, but depending on who is doing
it and to what end.
Britain
is going through tough times, with ongoing Brexit drama not doing
much for its preferred international image as a mature, shot-calling
democracy — and Trump’s antics are hardly helping matters either.
But,
insults or not, no expense was spared for the Trump tornado, as the
UK’s American guests spent Monday evening enjoying a banquet feast
that took six months to plan — at tables that reportedly took three
days to set.
It's
all about maintaining that legendary “special relationship” the
two countries like to invoke so much. Indeed, a relationship in which
one partner brazenly reprimands the other in public on a regular
basis while the other shuts up and takes the verbal beating is truly
a special kind.
Perhaps
attempting to scale back the tough talk, Trump tweeted later on
Monday that the London leg of his trip is “going really well” and
the relationship with the UK is “very strong.” Trump is scheduled
to leave the UK and fly to Ireland on Wednesday. Let’s see if he
can go two more days without unleashing on his British friends once
again.

.@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly “nasty” to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me......
....Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!
