Thankfully Trump knows we need neither from the likes of Europe. But that wont stop them from getting on their knees begging for assistance..I hope he throws them a roll of paper towels

I hope Trump will take some action to improve business relations but both USA and UK are so divided now that not sure any great undertaking will be discussed or agreed.
And a sad example of how far the USA has fallen since then. Eisenhower, Churchill and all the other great heroes of that tragic war. How about all the brave men who gave their lives for our freedom. But 75 years later we send them Trump. Trump, who never served, doesn't know or care, corrupt, only cares about money.
That war shaped our destinies for many years. It thrust the USA into the forefront, it resulted in great social progress in the UK because people had suffered so much. Europe recovered and was largely rebuilt. So much progress occurred, and now we hand them Trump. We can still memorialize the 75th anniversary of the brave men storming the beaches of Normandy, a momentous battle that probably saved western civilization, and we can hope that Trump stays in the shadows. It's an unfortunate fluke of history that he is our representative at such an important, somber event.

Well, he was supposed to speak at a WWI event, but never showed because of rain. Maybe Churchill, Eisenhower, et all will intervene with another rainy day. We can hope. My dad was in the US Army Aircorps that was assigned to assist the Royal Army in north Africa, but he always said that one of his cousins died on D Day.
Don't get me wrong.I love the footy and my entire day today is being planned around being in my favourite stool in my local supping a cool pint and watching the game.
But,you know,it's not the only thing occupying people's minds.
Thousands of Sandalistas are brushing off their Birkenstocks and packing their sun-dried tomato and haloumi cheese wraps for a busy week of stamping their feet and virtue-signalling against Trump's visit.
Trump is the President of our most important ally and a long-time trading partner and whatever you think about him the office he stands for and the country he represents should be respected.

"Our margins in the US are extremely thin - very low. So having a 25% tariff on top of that completely kills the market for us in America. Out of the 50 countries we deal with, America is our greatest concern.
"If it's a long-term tariff we may have to completely pull out of the US, after over 60 years. That would mean redundancies and closing our plant."
And there is nothing in Trump's actions that could lead anyone with eyes to believe he knows what the word respect even means. He is also a fickle person and I think that May is very brave to meet with him. I've seen what he does to people; I wouldn't meet with him if I were her.
