Should May cancel Trump’s visit to repay his egregious insult?
For Pete’s sake what next with this guy?
I get he has to play to his ‘base’ and feed them red-meat on a regular basis
.
However this is getting ridiculous and totally destabilising.
He tells a British gutter press tabloid that a Brexit not to HIS liking will mean no trade deal between the US and UK and that thinks Boris Johnston would be a great PM.
That’s essentially blackmail
and interfering in the internal affairs of another country.
You just don’t do that.
He’s the US resident and needs to be an example and set diplomatic standards.
Of course his supporters don’t care and just think “he’s telling it like it is and what’s wrong with that?”
Yes, yes he’s not like other presidents and delights in upsetting various applecarts etc., etc.
But come on, this is one of the US’s dearest allies and the one it has the greatest natural affinity with.
What a slap in the face and buffoonish insult!
May’s domestic standing would leap threefold if she cancelled the rest of his visit or just refused to meet him again and refuse to issue any joint statement.
What a mess!
