Mups, it's a story with absolutely no consequence...it's a claim made by a Spaniard that happens to be an unofficial ambassador to the west..whatever that may mean.

I still won't read it Tpin, I know I'm an uneducated ostrich, but at least I'm a happy one.

"A source close to the White House was quoted as saying that there had been a "realisation" in the Trump administration that a trade deal with the EU - allowing the tariff-free exchange of goods and services - was more important to U.S. interests than a post-Brexit deal with Britain."

Trump is a wheeler dealer. I wouldn't trust anything he says until he signs on the dotted line. In this day and age you have to smile and shake hands with your enemies to keep the peace. The old saying: 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer', is more relevant now than ever. Some call it being spineless (I could name names ) but I call it being clever - perhaps 'wise' is a better word to use .

Hi

Well done Mups for not reading it.

It is total rubbish.

You are at more risk from being hit on the head by a pink elephant falling from a passing alien spaceship.

Thank you treasure, and now I won't worry about the pink elephant either then.

Re: Donald Trump

To read it or not to read it that is the question ...

Point I was making - and here it is again for those who can't seem to see any point I try to make was:

If Trump is easily influenced by news - and he is apparently - then I hope he doesn't read the Daily Express. My bad taste in humour kicking in once more .

Or perhaps you did get my point after all and I'm mistaken - yet again.

Such is life ...

No I don't recall any such outrage. What I do remember is the pathetic meddling of Obama in UK politics over the referendum, something which was none of his business.

What stuck out was that the "special relationship" Obama had always said existed between the US and UK was clearly a load of b*ll*cks if the UK was suddenly going to be thrust to the "back of the queue" as he put it.

They were childish comments, pathetic attempts to manipulate the minds of the UK populous during the referendum and quite obviously caused by a tangible fear that the "people" had had enough of a ruling elite and might vote for BrExit . . . which of course they did!

Hopefully Trump will dismantle a lot of the elite machinery and corrupt deals before he is . . . removed.
