Trump looks forward to visiting a country in "turmoil".

Poor Theresa May. She has ministers and others resigning around her and all she needs is the president of the United States to add his pennyworth to her troubles. But Donald Trump knows how to select his words. Due in London on Thursday for a four-day trip he was asked by reporters to comment on Mrs May's current problems. He referred to Great Britain as a country in turmoil, and then, just to add a little spice to his comment, went on to say how much he likes Boris Johnson, the bete noire of the Conservative Party who resigned for....Boris reasons, and is no longer a member of Her Majesty's government. "Boris has always been nice to me," he said. Oops, Boris, so that's what you have been doing behind Theresa's back, keeping cosy with the Donald. Theresa M has to shake Trump's hand on Thursday, knowing that the president of the United States seems to be enjoying the fact that she is currently in a lot of bother. Had he been a little more diplomatic, he might have replied something along these lines, "I'm looking forward to seeing the prime minister of America's very special ally and will also have the honour of meeting Her Majesty, and, no, I'm not going to comment on what is currently going on in the UK." But that would be too much to ask. So he went for the "turmoil" option and the "my buddy Boris" line. He even suggested he might be able to see Boris while in London. When Theresa heard that I bet she said, "That bl.....man, if he so much as mentions bl..... Boris to me I shall....I shall....." But she's too British and too polite to actually say out loud what she might do. Trump also, for the millionth time, blasted off about Nato, complaining how no one was spending any money on defence. From my readng of his comments and his general demeanour I reckon he is really really looking forward to coming to Brussels for the Nato summit and to the UK to rub shoulders - per-lease don't - with the Queen. He is relishing the opportunity to shout at Nato leaders and to make Theresa May squirm by knocking on Boris's door. Trump is on a Big Guy roll.
