There have been certain responses that continue to stray from what I believed to be a very simple post. As usual, the discussion derails elsewhere.

The consensus I get is, that if you are a Trump supporter you will come to his defense without reason. Any, and I mean ANY educated (even partially) logical human being thinks his response that I posted is a decent normal presidential (even simply an adult human being) response reflects on that person.

The response was terrible. Uninformed, childish, lacking any substance, and shows he is as politically naive as many of the voters who stand by him blindly without saying anything negative about him.

That being said, I honestly don’t care what they think. He’s not their president. The biggest threat to them is trade and NATO, but England isn’t getting the brunt of that. I never understood why they loved Obama so much when his policies helped their present troubles with migration, but oh well.
Soros hires a better grade of bum in England than here. Perhaps they work for less there.

I watched this twice, and I guess I don't understand the english language anymore:

He said it’s not for him to comment on. Your problem is you are continually brainwashed by your left wing FB feed.

Okay. Lets reverse engineer history and you
go live in England when Hitler was bombing them. Who's pathetic? A country that needed our help being
blasted by an egomanica, narcissist, racist, etc (sound like orangeaid but I'm referring to Hitler) or
those without knowledge condemning their country without a shred of fact. I vote on the latter. Then
look up the history of what used to be our ally. Nevermind. That will get distorted by you, too.

City-Data has dozens of posters whose posts demonstrate both broader and deeper understanding of Brexit than Trump has. That's kinda the problem.

He's on a working visit to the UK, and he can't even put a coherent sentence together about UK's biggest political issue. It's goddamn embarrassing. But yes, you and yours propelled him to an office that he's manifestly unfit for, so go you.

The mayor of London is the one who encouraged the protests. He doesn't even care that London's crime rate keeps going up on his watch and is now higher than New York's.

He'd rather be floating balloons of Donald Trump.

I didn't hear him say that the UK will be at the back of the line as far as trade if they continue with Brexit. That was refreshing. He said it is not his place to comment on it.

Then he mentioned his electoral vote count, which is where his brain runs when he's faced with difficult questions.

But if he can't verbalize a thought on the biggest foreign policy issue plaguing the UK, then what the ever-lovin' is he traveling there for? The views? (I was about to say "Not the food", but any man barbarous enough to eat well-done steak might like English food.)

What substance should there be to such a question? Their country their decisions. We need to stop making it our business to pontificate on the workings of other countries and their democratic elections/issues.
