Disclaimer & comment rulesDecember 2015 she criticized the Republican's call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, saying it was “divisive, unhelpful and wrong”. At the time Mrs. May, who was then home secretary, also said Mr Trump's remark that police were afraid to enter some parts of London because of radicalization was “nonsense”, saying: “I just think it shows he does not understand the UK and what happens in the UK.”

But Mrs May, what about the comment Trump made while opening an investment in Scotland, praising Brexit, and saying 'If I become president, the UK will go to the front of the queue as regards trading agreements??????
Don't be stupid, if the guy likes us talk to him. The comments from the Brits including Camoron about Trump are the same as the Argentines saying they cannot talk to the FIG even though they could benefit financially, and ignoring the fact the Islanders are not going to go away. Ignoring Trump, even though he has stated that 'The UK have never let us down' is the biggest of clues that the UK needs to talk to him. And like it or not, there are good reasons why he and not Clinton were elected. So we like Obarmy because he was anti British. And we don't like Trump because he is pro British. Is the UK turning into Argentina? Gift horse-mouth.
This is now our chance to make amends and get on with talking and getting the best for Britain,
