Asshat in England

Trump's pomp-filled visit to the United Kingdom has been overshadowed by massive protests and an explosive interview in The Sun in which he blasted May, blamed London's mayor for terror attacks against the city and argued that Europe was "losing its culture" because of immigration.

The president who prides himself on not saying he's sorry did his own version of backtracking at a news conference with May by finding a way to blame his favorite foil for any perceived friction with May, whom he lavished with praise on the heels of questioning her leadership.

[...]

The interview was the latest breach of diplomatic protocol by Trump, whose predecessors tended to avoid criticizing their foreign hosts. And it comes at a perilous time for May, whose government is teetering amid contentious negotiations on how the U.K. will leave the European Union.

"Well, I think the deal that she is striking is not what the people voted on," Trump said in the interview. He also praised one of May's political rivals, former foreign secretary Boris Johnson.

[...]

Trump added that May's "soft" blueprint for the U.K.'s future dealings with the EU would probably "kill" any future trade deals with the United States.

[...]

He also told the tabloid that he'd shared advice with May during Britain's negotiations with the EU and she ignored it.

[...]

Trump was greeted by massive protests across Britain, including tens of thousands of demonstrators who filled the streets of London alongside a giant balloon that flew over Parliament on Friday depicting him as a cell-phone-toting angry baby in a diaper.

In a frenetic news conference at Chequers, [...] featuring the moos of cows in the distance at the end [...] Trump at times drew laughs from some British reporters, who jeered his criticism of the media and openly laughed at his numerous boasts.

I'm sure he thought they were laughing with him.

Somebody pointed out that he was referring to England, not Britain or the UK, when talking about Brexit.

‘We would make a great deal with the United Kingdom because they have product that we like,” Trump said [in an interview with Piers Morgan]. “I mean they have a lot of great product. They make phenomenal things, you know, and you have different names – you can say ‘England’, you can say ‘UK’, you can say ‘United Kingdom’ … the fact is you make great product, you make great things. Even your farm product is so fantastic.”

Asked about mass protests against him in London on Friday, the day of the interview, Trump insisted: “‘Some of them are protesting in my favour, you know that? There are many, many protests in my favour.”

LOL, pal.



Quite possibly.  Here's the whole thing:

On the other hand, it could simply be that, as he always tells us how smart he is (some people say the smartest person in the world in history - ever), he is simply saying that whatever he says is right, and here's why.

Morgan’s interview was not so incendiary as the one Trump gave to the Sun on Thursday, ahead of meetings with May. Then, Trump criticised her handling of Brexit talks and said Boris Johnson would make a good prime minister.

Then he denied he said anything bad about May, calling The Sun's report "fake news" and claiming he has audio to prove it. Then The Sun released audio. Ooopsie.

On to the royal visit (that did not include the demanded golden chariot ride)...

Trump enthused about his reception at Windsor Castle on Friday, where he and Melania spent 45 minutes with the Queen.

Forty-five whole minutes! Brilliant.

“It was a very easy talk,” he said. “You know, it’s hard to talk to somebody if you’re, sort of, if there’s not that something special. You know that better than anybody. Sometimes you’ll have a guest on where no matter what you do it’s not working, right? And then sometimes it’s magic. We had a great, a great feeling.”

Morgan asked: “Did you get the feeling she liked you?”

“Well I don’t want to speak for her,” Trump said, “but I can tell you I liked her. So usually that helps. But I liked her a lot.”

Apparently, she disliked him so much that even he - the world's biggest liar/exaggerater/narcissist didn't even pretend she liked him.

Asked if he had discussed Brexit, Trump said: “I did. She said it’s a very – and she’s right – it’s a very complex problem. I think nobody had any idea how complex that was going to be … Everyone thought it was going to be, ‘Oh it’s simple, we join or don’t join, or let’s see what happens’.”

What he means is HE thought that. No one else did.

Trump would not say if the 92-year-old monarch told him what she really thinks of Britain’s attempt to leave the European Union.

Because she didn't tell him. Why would she?

“Well,” he said, “I can’t talk, you know I’ve heard very strongly from a lot of people, you just don’t talk about that conversation with the Queen, right? You don’t wanna do that."

They didn't talk about it. She told him nothing. They had 45 minutes over tea.  And there's a report that the 92-year-old queen was left waiting on the dais in 80 degree temp for 10 minutes for the asshat and the cunt to show up.  There's picture evidence.

This business of being late - like he was for both the G7 and NATO meetings - is a disgusting, arrogant move akin to yanking arms when shaking hands.  He's a pig.  (Apologies to pigs.)

"Let me tell you what I can talk about … she is an incredible woman, she is so sharp, she is so beautiful, when I say beautiful – inside and out. That is a beautiful woman.”
