I firmly believe Trump treats his presidency as entertainment for the masses as he back hands the rich with more and more dollars.......

Foreign, foreign ministers from other nations don't always get to see our prime minister. Usually they go to speak with their opposite number, probably without it reaching the press as a newsworthy story. The difference this time was that Boris had reason to see trump this time, the Iranian deal. Trump obviously knew what Boris would have discussed with him and didn't want any of it. Can you really blame him? A lower rank politician from a lower rank nation wanting to berate you over your policies towards Iran. I bet the PM would probably not meet the Italian or French foreign minister if she knew he was only going to waste her time like that.
The real issue is the way Boris let himself humiliate himself. Macron called trump. Britain sent Boris to go on a TV show trump likes. Oh how pathetic Britain had become! Macron is now leading France into the level of influence British prime ministers haven't seen for possibly a generation now.

He's no stranger to that territory,which doesn't say much for the person who elected him to his present office.But when you don't have any decent cards in your hand you have to play what you do have The UK,during May's and Cameron's premiership,been made to look like an idiot nation of little or no consequence to the whole world especially Europe and the US,not to mention Russia.

Donald Trump has spoken today of his extreme dissatisfaction at travelling all the way to Korea to meet American hostages – who were not even white.
“The CIA told me that there was an opportunity for Americans to be freed,” said the POTUS. “Americans they said. Americans I wanted. Korean looking folk I got. I didn’t fly all the way to this shithole country for them to just free some of their own people and pretend they are some of ours.”
“Heck, I could have accepted Orientals if they’d have been women. But men? I mean, I don’t want a rub n tug off some Gaysian, that’s more the Vice President’s bag.”
More the vice president's bag? He's religious right. Trump is church of trump. More likely trump would be into a rub and tug but probably with himself. I doubt Pence would touch a Gaysian with a bargepole. He'd go straight to hellfire and damnation it he did.
BTW I can't believe he said that somehow, is it a joke?

The English-speaking USA is more different than we can understand
Entertainer, juvenile, curmudgeon, PoB, 30120 Cycling-of course, but it is far better on a Gillott We love safety cameras, we hate bullies
The new us ambassador to germany is gay Goes quite well together with right-wing views cos he might have allies on both sides and people might be wary of criticising him

Looking back isn't banned you know, especially since the poster that triggered my reply referred to May and Cameron. I naturally assumed that meant we were looking at historical idiots too. Hence my reference to lapdog Bliar.
