Trump attacked by UK Labour. He won't forget!

If there is a general election in the UK and Labour wins power, relations with the United States will fall like the heaviest stone. Both Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader, and Emily Thornberry, shadow foreign secretary, have attacked Donald Trump and effectively denounced his state visit to London. Trump won't care but he will not forget or forgive I suspect. He turned down a request for a meeting with Corbyn, describing him as a negative person. Corbyn promptly rushed off to make a speech to the thousands of anti-Trump protestors gathered in London and berated the president, without actually naming him. Very unwise and very undiplomatic and very shortsighted. Emily Thornberry who is never slow in making known her opinions, attacked Trump on BBC Radio for being a racist and a sexual predator. Well, if she ever becomes the real foreign secretary in a Labour government while Trump is still in the White House, they are going to get along wonderfully, hoho. I think it's all very well to have views, and there are a lot of people who despise, dislike or even loathe Trump for what he stands for. I have been very critical of some of his policies and his stye of leadership. But the fact is he is the president of the United States and deserves a little respect when invited to this country by Her Majesty the Queen and her government. You can be critical but not abusive, especially if you are a senior member of the official Opposition. Thornberry has a right, of course, to air her views but, nevertheless, she chose to be rude about the president at a time when we need all the friends we can get or keep. Trump seems to love this country and, whether you believe him or not, he seems to want a "huge" trade deal with the UK once we leave the European Union. People like Thornberry and Corbyn should think of the good of the country before sounding off with their personal opinions about the president of the United States, whoever he or she is. For all our sakes, let us hope that neither Corbyn nor Thornberry will ever be in a future British government.
