Trump loves Kim Jong-un and Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage has been so ego-boosted by the success of his Brexit Party in the European parliamentary elections and by Donald Trump's personal support for him to participate in future Brexit negotiations with the EU that he has actually boasted he can win the general election whenever it happens. The world is so crazy he just might be right!! Oh my God did I really say that? Trump has always liked Farage and he loves the idea that someone iike him could be a populist leader in Britain. Demagogues rule! Well Emmanuel Macron, not a demagogue, created a political party out of nothing and won the French presidency. So Farage believes he can do the same. Can you imagine Nigel Farage's first audience with the Queen as the new prime minister? Well I can safely predict that this will never happen. It's bad enough to contemplate the prospect of having Jeremy Corbyn in Number 10. But Nigel Farage lauding it over all of us? Please!!! Meanwhile Trump is doing his best to stir things up as he always does. Interviewed this time by the Sunday Times, he said basically the same things he told the Sun - that Boris Johnson is a good chap and Nigel Farage is a terrfic bloke This is not interference in another country's election process of course! This is just Trump being honest when asked a question. Ha! He probably thinks that as he is sitting in the White House when he is interviewed he can say what he likes. But I expect he will say exactly the same stuff when he eventually arrives in London tomorrow (Monday). Tens of thousands of people are reportedly preparing to demonstrate against him but I'm sure his police escorts will take him on routes that bypass the protestors. It is a sad commentary on politics today that a visit which should be focusing on the need to maintain the so-called special relationship between the US and UK will instead be disrupted by division, angry protestors, and by empty chairs at the planned banquets. Jeremy Corbyn has made it clear he will not attend any meal with Trump. Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, will do his best to avoid him at all costs because he despises him and is the UK's strongest critic, and, of course, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, won't be turning up for any meet-and-greet occasion. Her excuse, sort of justified, is that she has a very young baby to look after. But she could have relied on the royal nanny to take charge for a few hours. But Trump has made it more difficult for her to change her mind after he appeared to call her "nasty". He has denied ever accusing Meghan of being nasty. Seriously, Mr President? What you said in an answer to a question from the Sun was: "I didn't know that she was nasty." So, Mr President, you DID say she was nasty. Or at least you didn't say that she wasn't nasty. He chose the word, it wasn't fed to him. The question about her came after the cunning reporter reminded Trump of some critical remarks she had made about him in the past. The state visit is going to be such fun. Nigel Farage is doing that ridiculous grin already!
