Trump, Unloved in Britain, Still Tries to Play Kingmaker
LONDON It looked for all the world like a boardroom scene from The Apprentice, with President Trump appraising the candidates to succeed Prime Minister Theresa May, even as she stood by his side at a news conference on Tuesday.
Boris Johnson? Ive liked him for a long time.
Jeremy Hunt? I know Jeremy, I think hed do a very good job.
Michael Gove? The president, at a loss, playfully turned to Mr. Hunt in the front row: Would he do a good job, Jeremy? Tell me.
And then, as if slipping off-camera to interview the contenders, Mr. Trump sought a series of meetings with some of those same lawmakers, holding out his endorsement for whoever would remake the Conservative Party in his blustering, bare-knuckled image.

Trump is like your drunk uncle who shows up on holidays and you bite your lip just to avoid conflict.
