Not of the people, and not even of nations. But of the EU bureaucratic establishment.

too much to bother with so I narrowed it down to where you got on topic.


From your point of view it might be a bad place to pressure Trump.

From May's point of view, she needed I high profile public setting where she can be seen by detractors and supporters alike.

She had a very narrow path .

She needed to show she was NOT a Trump supporter, she had to declare the UK's position on a number of issues. Trump is being widely condemned and ridiculed abroad, May is in a tough spot, she badly needs a trade agreement to prove to the EU that Britain is able to make deals with or without them.

Theresa May is not old order, by putting her in that group you display your complete lack of knowledge on this whole topic, what is worse is you think you are schooling yet you missed the plot.

Theresa never expected Trump to fail so hard so soon, she would never have arranged the meeting. Trump is toxic to the reputations of all but Putin. Nobody wants to be seen shaking his hand, nor supplicating to his grossly inflated ego. Trump's sound byte play great to his fans, but no where else. Just a week in and we have Warnings from china, disputing with Mexico, threatening the UN, berating NATO.

You might think shouting and stamping your feet will work, but we are not living in the 1980s. We simply do not have the power the influence like we once did.

What we need is Partners, not enemies. You might not yet understand that , but you will as we reap the results of stick waving in a world that has flattened. China and Russia are thrilled with trump. Absolutely thrilled to see us stumble so badly. If trump makes it 8 years (I doubt 4) we will come out the other side as the 2nd nation on earth.

What I get tired of, in case anyone is interested, is when someone tries to shut down dialogue by proclaiming it is stupid nonsense, or that people they should stop posting, or the media should keep its mouth shut.
Especially knowing those who do not have the skills to dialogue intelligently; tweet instead.

May had to explain to him should he try to lift sanctions he would receive zero support from the EU and that they would keep all sanctions in place.


May had to remind him the UK will not support Torture of any kind.

May had to put words in Trumps mouth ref NATO, and she even stroked Trump's insecurities by allowing him an "out" on NATO. ie pretend they would make changes etc.

NATO is vital and Trump is messing it up. trump has May in his corner only until she can turn one. after that she will distance , nobody wants his stink on their party....

It is a full flow SHat SHOW.

What did I just read? You mention school, but your spelling, grammar, and punctuation is the only turd I see here.

BTW, the May/Trump meeting looked like it went...well...so.....

The conference did not get off to a good start.
Trump's press team mis-spelled Prime Minister's first name, Theresa. Someone dropped off the "h", making the name Teresa, the first name of Teresa May, a famous British porn star.

Prime Minister Theresa May was not amused.

No apologies from Trump's staff didn't help matters.

By the law of the internet you lose, and become a toad for failing to address the arguments presented anywhere or by anyone in the thread.

and by the powers granted to me by OP, I sentence you to 2 days of dishes. Get working.


(see anyone can talk crap, instead tell us why you think trump did well, or May or anything OT)

How in the name of anything with even one brain cell can anyone imagine that it could. Just listen to this illiterate nut...

TRUMP: It's— look, you know, I have my own ideas. He's not going into Ukraine, okay, just so you understand. He's not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want—

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, he's already there, isn't he?

TRUMP: Okay— well, he's there in a certain way. But I'm not there. You have Obama there. And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you're talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he's going away. He take— takes Crimea. He's sort of, I mean—

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you said you might recognize that.

TRUMP: I'm gonna take a look at it. But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were. And you have to look at that, also. Now, that was under— just so you understand, that was done under Obama's administration.

And as far as the Ukraine is concerned, it's a mess. And that's under the Obama's administration with his strong ties to NATO. So with all of these strong ties to NATO, Ukraine is a mess. Crimea has been taken. Don't blame Donald Trump for that.

If my bullet point style and weak grammar concerns you , feel free to re-write my post, clean it up and I will copy paste it.

If you can't be bothered, if it is too much work, why did you reply?


Otherwise I am guessing you are afraid too, in case someone rips it apart... scared to try?

I honestly did not understand anything in your first post...so it's difficult for me to argue with you on anything. It was just...


Trrump is bad .. omg i

May has to talk to hem liek a child...


May have to sckool him in...politicz.


Me no likey Trump. Bad mad man and I cant believe why he do this .



Seriously, learn how to type before you come at me with an argument.

And yes, Trump did as well as a guy who's one week into office in the presser. The questions were left-bait questions (one question was asking May about Mexico and the USA ) But they both handled themselves well. And looks like they'll work well together.

Because he's Trump and says stupid things sometimes, I don't need to put him down for everything just because I did not vote for him. If he does well on something, then he does well. What's the issue?
