Re: Donald Trump

Oh look, everybody agrees the UK/US trade deal was a shit deal for the UK and they should have rejected it, they might still do, I mean Trump has no power to agree to a trade deal, that's congress, and the UK could still not agree since this isn't a trade deal, really and agreement to negotiate ...
