Each pairing of the U.S. president and UK prime minister results in a different chemistry. From the ultimate sympatico march to stamp out labor and social benefits with Reagan and Thatcher, to the odd couple goes to war with Bush and Blair, the relationship has always been one on which both leaders could lean for support and justification.
Well in advance of any potential opportunity to have that Downing Street meets Pennsylvania Avenue connection, Donald Trump has already made a big impression on our Transatlantic allies.
David Cameron has renewed his attack on Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the United States.
The billionaire Presidential hopeful sparked fresh criticism in the UK when he declared he would make ‘exceptions’ for people like new London Mayor Sadiq Khan. ...
Cameron has described Trump’s plan as “stupid” and “divisive and wrong” in the past, and refused to retract his remarks on a visit by President Obama to the UK last month.
But Trump has a very convincing argument on his side.
"Well, number one I'm not stupid, Okay. I can tell you that, right now - just the opposite. Number two, in terms of divisive: I don't think I'm a divisive person. I'm a unifier, unlike our president now (referring to President Barack Obama), I'm a unifier," he added.
Just how unifying is Trump? So unifying that he also said this about the potential relationship between a Trump White House and the UK.
"It looks like we're not going to have a very good relationship.”
Trump might need to re-evaluate that first adjective that Cameron threw his way.
