You need to stop with this. You do it all the time and it's condescending and insulting. President Trump, by promoting Boris Johnson, and hard Brexit, is threatening to ruin our most important relationship. This isn't a joke, its dead serious.

Tim, I don’t  know much about Boris Johnson.  Most of the people I follow on twitter are Liverpool fans and they are a very left-leaning group so they hate him.  But he’s the leading conservative candidate.  Is it really a surprise Trump supports him?  According to what I read, he’s the book-keepers favorite to win.  

This seems like a pretty natural person for Trump to support. Not understanding how him supporting a fellow conservative is tantamount to the US and UK relations falling apart?  That seems a bit extreme.

Has he been repugnant to any foreign leaders that come here for visits? He is there for a state visit. I don't care how you feel about him you respect the office of the Presidency. But some of you can't based on the amount of hate you have towards him.

Come on, you reap what you sow and this clown has done his fair share to destroy political decorum in this country as well as respect for the office of the Presidency.  Respect is earned.

Prince Harry. President Trump.  One gets called a Nazi daily by the crew and one actually wore a Nazi uniform.  Which is which?

You need a link to his lack of class?  Are you really asking for that?

Try his twitter feed and every name he has called people.  We can go on to paying off porn stars, his insane amount of lies.  Need links to those things that are pretty well known and covered?

When the President attacks someone, he usually says "They started it".

When my kids were 5, I did not tolerate this behavior. But yet people on tge right seems to think it is OK to call Meghan Markle "nasty".

Mr. President stop acting like a 5 year old

No...it’s not just my opinion.  I asked you if you really need links to that stuff.

The class of Prince Harry has nothing to do with anything.  It’s a whataboutism deflection.  He has no power as it is and isn’t an elected leader of this country.

Just partisan snark. The Trump brand has been synonymous with class, power and panache for decades. His family has been the American version of royalty.  Now that he is on the other team, he’s Jethro Bodine. 

Nice try.

No. It isn’t partisan snark.  It’s his behavior of lies and name calling and classless behavior on twitter and elsewhere. 

His brand of steaks?  How about university?  His brand seems to be one of cons, bankruptcies, and fraud. 

His family was never the American version of Royalty....no more than the Kardashians.

Let’s try the Brits have no class.  Would any city in our country do anything that repugnant to any foreign leader?

Not only did we have major protests against the leader of Turkey, but President Trump actually allowed the Turkish secret service to attack U.S. citizens on our own soil.

That's right. Your president put his tail between his legs, rolled over, and allowed another country to supersede our sovereignty.

“The president's typical order at the Golden Arches is two Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches, and a large chocolate shake - malted, according to the book. That's a lot of calories for one meal - 2,430 in all.”

Such irony. 

The Queen’s graceful and eloquent speech about 75 years of a special relationship, her gift to Trump of  copy of the Atlantic Charter, Theresa May’s gift of an original edition of The Second World War by Churchill: all of this was a deliberate, very subtle rebuke of the most isolationist President we have had since Calvin Coolidge, a man who has adopted Nazi lover Charles Lindbergh’s “America First” slogan as his own. Had Trump been our President in 1941 there never would have been Lend-Lease, or the Atlantic Charter; it’s likely England would have lost the war prior to Pearl Harbor. For him to be our representative at any commemoration of D-Day is a tasteless, offensive joke. 

Queen Elizabeth and May are institutionalists trying desperately to save the Special Relationship, but their efforts may very well be in vain. Let’s hope not.

WOW!!!

10,000 in a city populated by 9,000,000!!!

That's a little over one tenth of 1% of everyone there!!

Talk about a fart in a whirlwind.

The morning anchor on Baltimore's main news radio station, a Hearst-owned outfit, claimed that Donald Trump had a lot of support in the UK outside of London, places like Newcastle and Manchester. The Don has a 21% approval rating over there. He also made the startling comparison that Theresa May's indecisiveness over Brexit is the reason she has lost her position while Donald Trump, "despite his faults," remains in power partly because of his ability to make firm decisions. "Sure, there are differences in our electoral systems."

 
I'm sure that Brits will love Trump's suggestion that a revised UK/US trade deal should put NHS on the table for American companies to takeover.
