    While I wouldn’t believe a word of anyone from the Trump administration if their tongues were notarized, I certainly hope that the UK isn’t seriously considering capitulating to Trump’s demands. How many of these people have to capitulate to Trump only for him to shit all over his own deal when he suddenly changes his mind and decides he wants more before they realize that capitulation in the first place was a bad idea?

    But again, we’re 10 years into the political game of playing Trump’s games by Trump’s rules and wondering why it always ends up like this.

      The UK doesn’t want any of our shit. They won’t eat are food because it’s literally toxic compared to the food they get from everywhere else. Our appliances are shit. Our airplanes are dropping out of the sky. Out side of oil, what do we even have to sale that’s better than what they already have?

        People like Wes Streeting want to import your health care system. It’s long been the dream of people like him to do so. It’s the most valuable thing we have on the table.

        Weapons, which was fine when you could trust the US, but now that’d be like the UK buying weapons from, well, Nazi Germany.

      Unlikely, the EU would likely respond to it for weakening their position while also kinda snubbing the UK.
