I think the queen was quite happy to have the Trumps visit, in this Brexit mess. It is either that the UK stays in the EU and face the EU mess, or it exits with crumbling off parts of her kingdom. I do not think she was too concerned about the Trumps and lack of protocol, she might actually agree with Trump laying into May. | Quote: | |  | | | "We are all a part of the problem, whether you like it or not." -TobiasM
When you say 'we are all part of the problem', are you saying that everyone born in the West is guilty of living a lavish, luxurious lifestyle and are therefore 'part of the problem'?
Or is it that as human beings on this planet, we are all 'part of the problem'? | | | | | This collective "we" is a typical marxist schtick, no accountability. "We" doesn't exist. There are people in the West that have hard time pulling it off as it is, just like there are people in the EE who are not well, either. To have some arrogant political leadership impose a guilt trip - isn't a good starting point for humanitarian spirit. Human trafficking should not be used for virtue signalling.

He's the leader of the US.
Had she been "happy" with his visit, he wouldn't have been sidelined to Windsor Castle.
I guess you just have to be British to "get" royal protocol...

Apparently Ms. May was advised by Mr. Trump that she should not negotiate but she should sue the EU.
Obviously rocket science. | This user would like to thank bowlie for this useful post: | |

Obviously rocket science.  | | | | | I'm surprised he didn't advise Ms. May to declare the UK bankrupt, so they didn't have to pay their EU creditors.

No Donald, you can't. Fork me sideways - and we're meant to be taking advice from him?

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | In fairness to Trump, not the first time I have seen him not manage to walk correctly and quickly lose direction. That's why he takes people's hands like May, or puts his arm across people's back/shoulder when walking.
Reckon he has dyspraxia and spatial awareness issues, struggles with coordination, left and right etc. he has large handwriting too. | | | | | Apparently, he has problems with walking down steps, which is why he took May's hand. I have Benign positional vertigo (BPV) and have the same 'issue', so recognise a possible cause of his hesitance.

My dyslexic brain sees vulture swinging. About the same, i guess.

Any Spanky fans want to try and justify Spankys meeting with his handler being private? with no official record, not even a top secret record.
Anything? no matter how bizarre, cos it sure looks like he has something to hide.

For those who question why we comment on Spanky here! | Quote: |  | | | President Donald Trump named the European Union, Russia and China as foes to the United States during an interview at his golf club in Scotland.
"I think we have a lot of foes," Trump told CBS News in an interview segment that aired Sunday on "Face the Nation." "I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe." | | | | | Source
With Spanky's attacks on NATO, EU, Canada and Mexico so Putin must be opening champagne continually, Trump is relentlessly pursuing Putin's goals.

Being able to vote against the EU (and the UN) were major motivations for me to become Swiss.
