.....unless you've been under a rock, you might've heard that US President Donald Trump is visiting the UK this week; unfortunately, the Orange-Haired Dumpster Fire decided, in his infinite "wisdom", to do an interview w/Voldemort's Paper whereupon he basically slagged on PM May (among other things/places)....here's a blurb below from The Guardian as to the reactions of some British MPs' over the whole thing...
(The Guardian) If you’re just waking up, Donald has done it again. In frank remarks made to The --- (there’s audio, too), he criticised Theresa May’s Brexit strategy - which he said would “kill the prospects of a trade deal” – and backed Boris for No 10.
He also accused Sadiq Khan of being weak on terrorism and said mass immigration is causing the whole of Europe to “[lose] its culture”.
The backlash to his comments, which were made public during a banquet in his honour last night, has been intensifying throughout the morning. Following comments from Emily Thornberry, who came to the defence of the prime minister, the Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston said Trump was “determined to insult” May. “The divisive, dog-whistle rhetoric in his The--- interview is repulsive,” the MP for Totnes said. “If signing up to the Trump world view is the price of a deal, it’s not worth paying.”
Darren Jones, Labour MP for Bristol North West tweeted: “Well this has gone well then. What a humiliating week for Britain (excluding the valiant efforts of our football team!).
Rupa Huq, MP for Central Ealing and Acton said the president’s comments were Islamophobic. “A dash of Islamophobia lobbed at Sadiq Khan who he blames for terrorism. Awful stuff.”
