[Gaffers]

I have always disliked the man but I do respect the office which the wife does understand even if it draws a little ire from her from time to time.  She is a full-on democrat in a family of Midwestern Neo-Conservative Republicans which makes for a lot of banter around politics at the best of times and a lot of friction when politics heats up.  At Thanksgiving last year we both went out to Wisconsin and I wore a T-Shirt which read:

Make America Great Britain Again!

Which everyone loved.  Some of my wife's uncles have asked me to get them one! 

About a year after the last US Election a predicted that, against my wishes, Trump would win a second term.  'Banter Biden' or 'Socialist Sanders' will win the Democrat ticket, Uncle Joe is too old and Sanders causes an almost volcanic reaction with everyone right of centre and many of those in the middle as well.  Everyone knows you win elections in the centre and all the polling suggests neither appeal to the swing vote even those who are disallusioned with Trump. 

I dislike most of Trump's policies and those that I agree with in some way could be achieved in a much more effective way than his bull in a China shop method which alientates the USA on the world stage.  If I was to be a voter in the next US election I am not sure which way I would go.

That t-shirt slogan is great!

It reminds me of a feeling that my father had back in the day, well I think it was during the 1970's in particular, and I supported it, that Great Britain should become the 51st State of the USA.

At the time I certainly believed we could no better, and as our standing in the World was at it's lowest at the time, and we relied on America to uphold our democracy which it had really done since c.1940.

Now America is in slow decline, although I hope for all our sakes the American financial empire can be kept going by Trump - he IS the man to do it - I want Britain to be great so......................perhaps..................that slogan is spot on!!

I think we should take back the colonies.

Oh yes, India, the Jewel in the Crown and the British Empire was never the same after 1947

I'm sure both the US and India would be willing to let us rule over them again.

Like hell would we want to now as it would cost too much, as it did in the days of the Empire, especially when those damn natives started to rebel!!
