45th President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Discussion
Anyone want to comment on todays press briefing?
A bit more of the norm, pretty damn long too.
The bit that gave me a chuckle was when the chap from the EU asked if Trump will be talking to the EU about trade.
The response was that he isn't interested in doing deals with trade blocks, only bilateral deals.

The EU will be besides themselves especially If May's visit goes well. He does want free trade and bilateral deals as you say the complete opposite of the EU.A bit more of the norm, pretty damn long too.

To be fair he's had his fingers burnt dealing with organisations before, if you know what I mean.A bit more of the norm, pretty damn long too.

Do the American people actually realise this is a man who bankrupted two casinos? I mean seriously, if you can't make the casino business work and its a business that's mathematically certain to work, then perhaps its better to just let the grown ups do the trade talks?

Will the UK get a really good relationship/even better deal with the US to teach the EU & Nato under-spenders a lesson I wonder....
Quite possibly. One thing that the US would love is a ready market for weaponry - presumably there's another air superiority fighter in the offing since they aren't going to make any more F-22s, and it'll come around in time to replace the Typhoon too. Presumably we'd be in the vanguard of the export push to get it in place as the main NATO fighter rather than whatever Airbus come up with. johnxjsc1985 said:

Oh yes what was it - trying to remember..... customs union something about EU being responsible for trade deal negotiations.....
A collection of 27 liberal left, mad green, overly political, inwardly looking, over spending, self centred, self believing , massively bureaucratic, selfish countries who take 7-10 to work out a fart smells bad ....yeh, Trump loves that.
Trump will quite possibility be our biggest Brexit bonus..

Trump now openly lying about voter fraud again with no evidence. Fascinating to witness so much lying in such a short amount of time since taking office.
I have been thinking about this new administration a lot lately, and finding it very entertaining and interesting to read the thoughts of those who post on here. I am neither ‘left’ nor ‘right’, I suppose I would like to think of myself as a ‘freethinker’. I often read books all the way through, so perhaps I would be considered by some here a ’snowflake’!
So, devoid of any particular political affinity, I find Trump disgraceful entirely and exclusively due to what he says. My feeling is those defending him or trying to deflect from his relentless lies are behaving rather like those who follow religious dogma. They start with a position, and then attempt to make everything else support it, contrary to actual evidence.

hmm noone mentioned Russians the last 100 pages? Was it fake news then or you've just forgiven them
They ain't gone away, I expect them to pop up at an inconvenient time. With The boss dissing the press, I expect they will find stuff to do and with this issue of a mistake over a bust and fact checking other stuff, I expect the next batch to be more water tight. Or maybe they investigate and find nothing. Who can tell. Either way, I hope they are water tight.
