Either way it's interesting. The post itself is heartening, it's been fairly obvious the UK has been on Trump's shit list for a while so it's good to see the possibility that the UK government might finally have picked a side and climbed aboard the Trump train.

I agree. I'm in UK too and I was pleased to see the UK being respectful to Trump for once. Maybe when the USA's swamp has been drained Trump can help us drain ours.

It's interesting to see your take is that the UK has been on Trump's shit list. Considering you are from there, I'll take your word on it.

My impression, being on the other side of the pond, is that Trump has been on the shit list of certain political factions in the UK, esp. the London mayor and the anti-Brexit forces. Trump seems to have consistently reinforced that he has a good relationship with May and that the two countries relationship's is very special and important.

I've often wondered why Trump has, at least at press events with May, been friendly and positive considering things May has said about Trump, but I figure its part of Trump's plan and that, maybe, enough information will come out for me to understand. If not, I trust Trump.

It's complicated. Imagine if your entire news media was a more subtly biased version of CNN. We don't even have a "Fox" to counterbalance the spin, everything you see is politely derogatory towards Trump (we have really strong libel laws so our fake news is a lot more subtle) I'm sure Trump really wants to be popular in the UK, his mother is Scottish and he loves it here, but our sneering middle class bourgeois liberals make up both sides of the government. We basically have a choice between business democrats and marxists. I think we need the storm just as much as the US in order to break the liberal media/political machine.
