Trump and BoJo Could Emulate Reagan, Thatcher

As Britain’s relations with the European Union finally come to a climax, the United States can be grateful, once again, that contrary to the preferred outcome of most makers of American foreign policy, the U.S. national interest will be well served, by a lucky bounce.

The United Kingdom is the fifth-largest economy in the world, and probably the fourth or fifth military power, and because of its immense contribution to Western civilization, it is one of the world’s most respected nationalities. Instead of being subsumed into the polyglot, bureaucratically mismanaged and socialistic Babel of the European Union, Britain is about to opt once again for its relationships across the broad oceans as a continuing sovereign country.

Come on.
British Conservative Party has already turned liberal, BoJo is a pro-homo politician.
Forget nostalgia of Reagan Thatcher.

Prefer Theresa May? Reagan worked with liberals like Tip O'Neil. And even Thatcher wasn't an across the board conservative. We're getting an upgrade over May -- don't be an ass.

This is a well constructed biopic of Europe and especially Great Britain since WW2. The Trump doctrine is a uniquely effective and highly principled effort to engage European nations in NATO and diminish the EU. His ability as the top negotiator in the world will bring about ever closer ties with GB and in the bargain embolden civil rights advocates in GB to bend the government to the primacy of personal freedom under the law.

Rather wishful and naive.

Oh, wishful thinking is realistic.
May used to be portrayed as Trump’s Margret.

We’re comparing BoJo to May. You’re saying they’re the same? That’s realistic to you?

Grandstanding “Conservatives” cannot differentiate between someone like Biden and AOC or Ilhan. And in the above case, BoJo vs May.

If you want to say they’re all bad, it’s correct but useless to say.

Biden is a lying imbecile, but he is not the same as AOC and Ilhan.

BoJo vs May

What has it got to do with Reagan & Thatcher?

And so far we know nothing about BoJo’s leadership.

Bojo is weak on brexit IMHO, if he’s not careful Garage is going to end up destroying the Tory party and they’ll have fully deserved it.

BoJo vs May What has it got to do with Reagan & Thatcher? And so far we know nothing about BoJo’s leadership. Obviously they're not the same people. Have you never compared two different things that may share SOME similar characteristics to make an illustration? Are you purposefully feigning an inability to comprehend, or are you actually this dense? Boris has been mayor and has a long public record. He is liberal in many social aspects, but he was for Brexit. Britain is currently never going to elect a strong conservative, so my position is that BoJo is better than the inept May. It is a very reasonable, factually supported position. You don't have to do mental gymnastics to understand. I'm not saying BoJo is Thatcher (he is certainly worse), and I'm not saying Trump is Reagan (I love Reagan, but Trump is a better President for this time).
