an image of Trump’s and Barack Obama’s dueling popularity ratings on the side of the Tower of London—a reminder that just 1 in 5 voters has a positive view of Trump, compared with nearly three-quarters for Obama. Although timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, the visit inevitably emphasizes the distance between that era of cooperation and the present, more strained status of the “special relationship.
There is little true purpose to his state visit, save to the extent that an invitation to Buckingham Palace indulges the American president. Tellingly, no one-on-one meeting has been arranged with the lame-duck May, who announced her upcoming resignation after failing to get her Brexit plan through Parliament. Like his hosts, Trump seems more interested in her successor than in poor May herself.
Although Trump will be the focus of the pomp and the protests this week, his presence in the UK is one of the few things capable of uniting Britain’s fractious politics. In a recent opinion poll, the public was asked to decide whether May or Corbyn would be the best possible prime minister. Fully 55 percent of respondents said they could not rank either politician better than the other.
What a coincidence - American politics is paralyzed, polarized and seemingly hopeless, too
And Con Don is butting in where he shouldn't.
POLITICOMag Hopeless? After 3 years they finally have a chance to get out from under the thumb of unelected leaders. Sounds hopeful in a western democratic way to me
Unless the UK is imprisoning and killing children they certainly have a right to scoff at ToxicLeadership.
How appropriate. Trump has done the same for the US.
Ummm.... pardon me? Britain should never have invited the giant orange man cheetoh to begin with. The world should be scoffing at Trump the Chump on his mere stupidity and failures.
So, the US...he did that here
Really? Britain is being divided by Trumps best mates Farage & Boris through fraudulent campaigns which are financially linked to Russia/Putin. We have a right to criticise both Trump & our own traitors thanks & we dont need your permission.
Never fear BrexitParty is here! British lion will roar again.
Shut up Politico. Everyone should scoff at Donald Trump.
It's only the left wing idiots who scoff at him, the rest of us are hoping for a Trump of our own.
Brexit is a great victory for the Brits.
Those who hoped for MAGA - Effective justness and MAGA - Ecosocial reforming, you can take a breath, everything turned out to be Easier and Deeper; to ruin the EU with Brekzit, and with control 'aspen stake', to drive bloody Israel into the center of Eurasia(in place of Ukraine)
Scary weeks.
Trump is Symbol of The Past Texas Cowboys
Some would argue the entire world is paralyzed, polarized and seemingly hopeless.
