From Winston Churchill to Donald Trump’s state visit in June, the history of transatlantic ties has hinged on personalities as much as politics

Donald Trump’s three-day state visit in early June, confirmed last week, will place unique strains on the so-called “special relationship” between the US and Britain – or so it is claimed. The 45th US president is undoubtedly a divisive figure. Polls suggest three quarters of Britons object to his policies and personal behaviour. Like a boorish house guest, Trump seems to delight in upsetting his hosts.

Pompeo: ' We lied, we cheated, we stole' !😆

Special? Third place (at best) behind Israel and Ireland. It really is past time we stopped being so subservient to our former colony... Allies, yes. Lapdogs, no.

Grovelling UK sycophancy driven by Empire-retentive Tories bereft of global standing and desperate for economic breadcrumbs amidst increasing economic chaos. Why else associate with an imbecilic President and a warmongering kakocracy: the greatest threat to humanity's survival?

'A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants, and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to Britain. We may be a small country, but we’re a great one too.' Hugh Grant - Love Actually
