It's not a matter of compatibility it's his rejection of political correctness.

After Obama, I should have thought that all true Americans would be pleased to have Trump.

Out of interest, what specifically do you think Trump does wrongly?

A true American, what is that?

An American citizen who is proud of his country and puts it first especially by protecting it from invasion by low life scrounging and / or criminal scum and stamping down with great force on the home grown equivalents.

The present POTUS is a prime example. The previous, Barack Hussein, was the precise opposite.

Britain has rewritten the Laws of Physics by managing to combine total inaction with absolute chaos in three years of Brexit which is something no American President has managed to do on any issue

I can't argue with that.

Yes, the treacherous Mrs May has achieved a great deal during her 3 years as PM, and even more during her tenure of HS.

For some reason, she seems to think that she should be congratulated for that.

It's quite simple really.

With the EU mandarins doing all they can to oppose us, we need all the friends we can get.

Trump has said that he'll support us and we certainly need to encourage such offers.

In addition, I foresee the EU countries leaving NATO when their EU Army is formed and brought to fruition. We should maintain our NATO alliance with America and, of course, Canada.
