The ‘special relationship’ is not with one person, it’s with the country, that is, if you believe we have a special relationship with America. I’m not sure we do, I think it’s always been overhyped.
Interestingly, we have just returned from America, we visited the ‘Deep South.’ It’s a very interesting area. Anyway, lots of people over there still think Trump’s the best thing since sliced bread, but we did meet some dissenters too. And they really did dislike him. So the next year should be interesting re American politics.
Putting this as politely as I can, I will say I think Trump is often not well mannered, and is certainty full of his own self importance. I do not really like the man, although of course I only know what I see through the media, as we all do, and none of us know him personally. I would absolutely hate to have to meet him, of course that will never happen, thank goodness. I thought the queen and royal family did wonderfully well to entertain him so graciously. But I do not agree with flying disgusting ballooons to demean him, let him demean himself, he does it well enough without any help.
