StefanAVFC Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/01/26/british-lawmakers-tell-their-prime-minister-your-groveling-in-front-of-trump-is-embarrassing/?utm_term=.cd4a9bb3ec98&tid=sm_tw Quote LONDON — Since Donald Trump was elected president, perhaps no U.S. ally has gone to greater lengths to make friends than British Prime Minister Theresa May. As other European leaders have kept their distance, wary of the new president’s seeming willingness to veer away from core Western values, May has repeatedly stressed her support. Her government boycotted European gatherings to wring hands over Trump’s erratic behavior, and she echoed the reality star's talking points by pointedly criticizing the Obama administration’s stance on Israel during the 44th president’s final days in office. She even sent Trump a highly symbolic Christmas gift: a copy of a wartime speech Winston Churchill delivered to the American people, along with a letter expressing belief that the “unity and fraternal association” between the United States and Britain is “as true today as it has ever been.” May’s loyalty is being rewarded this week with a plum designation: On Friday, she will be the first foreign leader to meet Trump in the Oval Office. The meeting will give her a prime chance to pitch Trump on a U.S.-Britain free-trade deal, an agreement that May has signaled will be a top priority of her premiership as Britain prepares to leave the European Union. But as she was winging across the Atlantic on Thursday, she also faced a wicked backlash in London from lawmakers who say her courting of the new U.S. president has gone too far. The criticism came after Downing Street released excerpts from a speech May intends to deliver Thursday at a retreat for Republican congressmen in Philadelphia. Trump is also due to address the gathering. In her speech, May seems to endorse Trump's view of himself as a turnaround artist who can restore America to lost greatness. Both the United States and Britain, she is due to tell the Republicans, are “rediscover[ing] our confidence.” “As you renew your nation just as we renew ours — we have the opportunity — indeed the responsibility — to renew the Special Relationship for this new age,” May will say, according to the excerpts. “We have the opportunity to lead, together, again.” Urgh.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 In all seriousness I thought her speech was genius. It's like Mary *****ing Poppins has turned up and give it a bit of "OK, let's all calm down and stop shouting, we are going to do this and this becasue of that and he said that, Churchill so listen. Wipe your nose you word removed" Brilliant in my opinion and is a perfectly timed contrast with the Mexican leader who now looks ( Compared to May) a bit of a loser in the eyes of the Americans I suggest ?

Chindie Posted January 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2017 I don't think Mexico's premier cares how he looks to American people. I'd have snubbed him in his shoes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
