That's not the point of the question thoughpjknibbs wrote:How is the average person in the street supposed to know if any deal Trump comes up with is the "best bilateral deal ever" anyway?
I don't think there is a need to over-analyses or defensive about it, after all this is not something strange for human behavior, most countries go high and mighty about stuffs like liberty, democracy, human right ...etc... when the matter of affair don't effect their own internal well being, most if not all tend to turn the other way when we need their oil, influence, or business.
One more time, it's just a hypothetical question. If you ask me realistically whether Trump will give UK a good deal, I doubt it, but that's not what I'm asking. I'm just ... curious so to speak, more on the human nature rather than of political nature. Again, if the UK end up with a no deal exit, and - hypothetically - Trump is there to provide a good option than do you think the UK's public will change, given how anti-Trump it is right now? (If I am to believe the media that is, which I often don't, just FYI). If you find the question is hard to answer honestly, you can clear your conscience and pretend the answer doesn't reflect yourself, but of others around you, or you can just cast it on your leaders/politician.
I'm simply interested in an honest response, that's all. Of course, no one here is obligated to answer.
