Trump v May

On the day when Trump restates that "waterboarding works" and May reaffirms that the British Government denounces all forms of torture it's becoming increasingly obvious that these two are poles apart ideologically so I'm wondering how the trade deal negotiations are likely to pan out.
On the one hand, May is talking about making Britain "a truly global" trading nation  whilst Trump is all about protectionism, America first and "buy American, hire American".
Is there any likelihood at all that May will come away from the negotiations without us having to pay increased import tariffs when Trump has made it clear that everyone will have to pay? Do we still have a "special relationship" that will somehow give Britain immunity from tariffs or are May and her cronies living in cloud cuckoo land when it comes to trade deals?

This negotiation will only go one way. Trump will always put America first and May is desparate. There is no "special relationship". Trump won't even put lube on before he fucks May up the arse.

She's started off with some serious ass licking. Brave line "opposites attract" but the media liking it so far. See how it goes...but I doubt they'll tell us owt. Apart from this sort of fluff.

BTW Mexico's negotiations could be going better

I reckon Trump is just what we need right now, i dont dissagree with anything he say's.

Loving the way the Mexicans are now saying that American consumers will pay for the wall.

Proper little spat this one now.

Good opportunity to use the NHS as a tool to get on the right side of Fart. Offer him a few contracts and two birds killed with one stone! Some trade and the end of the Tory nemesis!!

Trump closes USA borders to nationals of 7 countries - including green card holders!
Google withdraws international staff in response

Why not nationals from Tunisia or Saudi?
There's been more shit from home grown idiots since 9/!11 than from outsiders!?

But already a circuit judge has suspended the order temporarily regarding those with visas. I think he'll order a bit of waterboarding for her. The first of thousands of lawsuits. One week in and already its beginning to unravel.
Like the landowners on the border who say that they will not allow him to build a wall on their property.
Yesterday he says that 'he will accept no lectures from the Prince' referring to  Prince Charles views on climate change. Very diplomatic as he's visiting the Prince's Ma  later this year.

I'm lovin'it!!

Politics is becoming interesting again for all the wrong reasons.
As for Teresa May ( or is it Theresa?) I think she did rather well- said all the right things, held the tosser's hand and came away with a pile of empty promises about everything.

Sadly, I can see the judge's ban working in his favour.

He knows damn well that there will be widespread condemnation and it won't ever get fully implemented but he can throw his hands up now and say "I tried but my enemies on the liberal left defied the will of the people and stopped it from happening."

And his followers will lap it up and get even angrier and it will further confirm their belief that this is all part of some conspiracy against their beloved orange leader.

So Trump plays the big man banning Muslims etc, his supporters will love every word.

Then you actually look at the detail out of all the countries he as banned not one was involved in 9/11
of those that were involved but not banned Trump does business with those countries. What a selfless bastard this guy is, surely at some point his bubble will burst

Earlier this year made a knight of the realm in the UK
Made into a potential terrorist by Trump.

Shouldn't you be watching Songs of Praise?

Just to Devils advocate.

What else could Trump do other than to give these orders - after all they were his election pledges and expected from him.

Do we really think Muslims will really end up not being allowed into the USA or that wall will be fully built?

There's too much red tape to stop things happening immediately and all Trump needs to do is dodge and weave until something else pops up for him to become busy with.

All seems to be a storm in a teacup to me.

He might at least have the decency to have his barber shot.

Shot - back and sides perhaps?
