Trump Disputes 'False Rumor' About Rocky Relationship with UK PM May: 'We Like Each Other a Lot'

Source: Mediate




President Trump met with British Prime Minister Theresa May at the Davos Economic Forum on Thursday, and he took the opportunity to dispute recent reports that the two leaders have a frosty relationship with each other.

“We have a really great relationship,” Trump said. “Some people don’t necessarily believe that, but I can tell you…I think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint that we like each other a lot.”

(May did not return the compliment.)

Trump then said he wanted to correct a “false rumor” about the two, and he proceeded wax on about the military and economic progress the United States and Great Britain have seen recently.

That's one of the reasons why the Conservative's election campaign, which focused to a worrying degree on Theresa May backfired.

This contradicts trump's bogus claims https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/trump-shocked-brits-ordering-theresa-may-make-people-stop-protesting/

President Donald Trump last year ranted about nonexistent “no go” zones in London to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May — and she was forced to tell him that he was mistaken.

In a big Bloomberg article on Trump’s relationship with May, former May strategy director Chris Wilkins says that “Trump turned to May and told her he believed there were parts of London that were effectively ‘no-go areas’ due to the number of Islamic extremists” during a meeting between the two world leaders in 2017.

Wilkins claims that May didn’t let Trump’s bogus talking point stand, however, and spoke up to “correct him” and inform him that London did not have any “no-go zones.”

Elsewhere in the story, Bloomberg reports that Trump berated May for the unfair treatment that he received in the U.K. press and refused to set foot in the country until she could guarantee that he would not be greeted with mass protests.

“May responded to say such treatment was simply the way the British press operate, and there wasn’t much she could do,” Bloomberg writes. “In the secure bunker underneath the prime minister’s office, her advisers listened in to the call in astonishment at Trump’s demand.”

Yeah, she loves you so much she's asked you 1 - not to speak to Parliament, 2 - promised massive demonstrations against him 3 - told him no carriage ride due to security concerns with huge demonstrations. They hate him, as thy should.
