Howay 12495 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) He has a neck on him given that it was fake news that helped him win. Was going to say the cheeky fucker! He himself posted that thing about violent crimes white on white, black on white etc that was known to be utter bullshit less than a year ago, then he asked "am I supposed to check to see if these things are true?"

ewerk 26691 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Donald Trump: I’ll do a deal with Britain Donald Trump will offer Britain a quick and fair trade deal with America within weeks of taking office to help make Brexit a “great thing”. Speaking to The Times in his first UK interview as president-elect, he revealed that he was inviting Theresa May to visit him “right after” he gets into the White House and wants a trade agreement between the two countries secured very quickly. Mr Trump also predicted that other countries would follow Britain’s lead in leaving the European Union, claiming it had been deeply damaged by the migration crisis. “I think it’s very tough,” he said. “People, countries want their own identity and the UK wanted its own identity.” He revealed that Mrs May had written to him just after Christmas with a gift of a copy of Winston Churchill’s address to the American people shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In the letter the prime minister told Mr Trump that she hoped the sentiment of “unity and fraternal association” between the two countries was “just as true today as it has ever been”. In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump revealed: ● He will agree a nuclear weapons reduction deal with President Putin of Russia in return for lifting US sanctions. He was highly critical of Russia’s intervention in Syria, however, describing it as “a very bad thing” that had led to a “terrible humanitarian situation”. ● Orders will be signed next Monday to strengthen America’s borders, which could include travel restrictions on Europeans coming to the US as well as “extreme vetting” for those entering America from parts of the world known for Islamist terrorism. ● He believes that Angela Merkel made a “catastrophic mistake” when she let more than a million migrants into Germany, adding that the EU had become “a vehicle for Germany”. ● He will start off by trusting Mrs Merkel and Mr Putin, but that might not last long. Mr Trump was deeply critical of America’s foreign policy. He described the decision to invade Iraq as “possibly the worst decision ever made in the history of our country”, saying it was like “throwing rocks into a beehive”. He added that Afghanistan was going badly and that attempts to recapture Mosul had turned out to be a disaster. On Russia, Mr Trump indicated that he hoped that a deal could be done to reduce nuclear capability in return for dropping some sanctions against Moscow. “They have sanctions on Russia — let’s see if we can make some good deals with Russia. For one thing, I think nuclear weapons should be way down and reduced very substantially, that’s part of it.” But it was Mr Trump’s offer of a rapid trade deal with Britain that was one of the most eye-catching aspects of the hour-long interview at Trump Tower in New York, in which he said: “I love the UK.” “We’re gonna work very hard to get it done quickly and done properly. Good for both sides,” Mr Trump said. “I will be meeting with [Mrs May]. She’s requesting a meeting and we’ll have a meeting right after I get into the White House and . . . we’re gonna get something done very quickly.” The interview comes as the UK adopts an increasingly hard line on Brexit before a speech Mrs May is due to give tomorrow. Philip Hammond, the chancellor, issued the government’s starkest warning yet of what would happen if the EU attempted to impose tariffs and trade restrictions on the UK once Britain had left the EU. Mr Hammond told a German newspaper that a “wounded” Britain would not lie down and accept economic damage incurred by a harsh Brussels deal. Instead, he said, the government would change its economic model to regain competitiveness, pledging that “we will do whatever we have to do”. His remarks were interpreted as a threat to lower corporation tax aggressively to undercut France, Germany and Italy further. Any potential trade deal with the US would be a powerful weapon in the UK negotiating armoury as it would open further a huge market for British goods and services. Mr Trump said he thought that “Brexit is going to end up being a great thing” and welcomed the fall in the value of the pound for having helped to boost the attractiveness of British products abroad. The president-elect, who will be inaugurated on Friday, said he was also looking forward to visiting Britain, saying his Scottish mother had been “so proud of the Queen”. “Any time the Queen was on television, an event, my mother would be watching,” he said. He also quipped that his Scottish ancestry meant he liked to “watch my pennies”, adding: “I mean I deal in big pennies, that’s the problem.” However, he was far less warm towards the EU and said he understood completely the sentiment behind the Leave campaign which, he believed, was largely driven by immigration. “I do believe this, if they [EU countries] hadn’t been forced to take in all of the refugees, so many, with all the problems that it . . . entails, I think that you wouldn’t have a Brexit. It probably could have worked out but this was the final straw, this was the final straw that broke the camel’s back. “I think people want . . . their own identity, so if you ask me . . . I believe others will leave.” He was also less warm about Mrs Merkel despite saying he had “great respect” for the German leader. “I think she made one very catastrophic mistake and that was taking all of these illegals, you know, taking all of the people from wherever they come from,” he said. “And nobody even knows where they come from. So I think she made a catastrophic mistake, very bad mistake.” Mr Trump also confirmed that he would appoint Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, to broker a Middle East peace deal, urged Britain to veto any new UN Security Council resolution critical of Israel and repeated his criticism of President Obama’s handling of the Iran nuclear deal.

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) On the other side of this Brexit stuff mind, it's starting to sound as though we have a negotiating position/plan. It's very negative, but that stuff about corp. tax, the US deal and so on are the most coherent things that have been said.

Dr Gloom 19950 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Of all the UK reporters to get first dibs on an interview with the president- elect he invites this sycophant, who failed to ask one challenging question. Following on from silencing media outlets he doesn't like. Looking like the next Putin already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35166 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The will of the British people must be respected, which I'm sure is why Philip Hammond is threatening to turnthe UK into a corporate tax haven. I'm almost certain that's what the out voters wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
