Tiberius Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 HA HA HA!! The Queen gave President Trump a book as a present! That's a really a subtle insult. I get some people, cough cough, actually think Trump wrote the "Art of the Deal" [read it? ] but the guy probably never read a book in his life. And it shows! Good one your majesty!

B-Man Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 WHAT DO YOU MEAN, “DESPITE?”: Trump Talks Up U.K. Trade Deal Despite Brexit Impasse. President Trump promised Britain a broad free-trade accord once it leaves the European Union, an offer that would require the U.K. to secure the decisive break with the bloc advocated by prominent Brexit backers in the race to succeed Prime Minister Theresa May. Such an agreement, though, could take years to materialize even after an abrupt split and would face multiple political hurdles in the U.K. and the U.S. At a press conference with Mrs. May on the second day of a three-day state visit, Mr. Trump talked up close economic links between the U.S. and its ally and said a free-trade pact had “tremendous potential” to boost trade between the two countries. “As the U.K. makes preparations to exit the European Union, the United States is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K.,” he said. As I’ve said before, Brexit wasn’t about reducing trade, but about regaining British sovereignty from Brussels. Since Brussels isn’t willing to give up the UK as it satrap, Hard Brexit is the only way out, followed by that “phenomenal trade deal.” . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I had to google that to see if he really gave that to her and it appears he did. The also gave this; Quote While visiting the United States, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave the president a pen fashioned out of the same wood as the Resolute Desk. What did Obama give him in return? “Barack Obama, the leader of the world’s richest country, gave the Prime Minister a box set of 25 classic American films – a gift about as exciting as a pair of socks,” reported the Telegraph. What’s worse, the set of DVD’s was coded for the United States and unreadable by UK DVD players. Edited June 5, 2019 by Chef Jim 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones to England were just about the "best", and Michelle topped that off by hugging the Queen. Good times.

Don't forget that the British slighted Trump at every turn, by wearing tiaras, not letting him stay at Buckingham Palace as it was being renovated, and blah blah blah.

The British press, which is usually very harsh, was pretty decent about the visit. I am sure it helped that they fell totally in love with Melania and her style. Our press? ppffffttttt It was like two different events were happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other site I frequent has a bunch of Brits saying how horrible the Trump visit was. But, they are the biggest aholes on the internet. I would just like to show them stories that don't quite match their view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
