They don't seem to understand that an insult to President Trump is a profound insult to the American People.
If the Brits are not very, very, very careful, they are going to witness anti-British anger such as they have not seen since 1812.
Americans love Great Britain. They have deep affection and respect for the British Royal Family. President Trump, whose mother was from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, has expressed these same sentiments and has said that his mother held deep affection for the Royal Family. However, all that could change in an instant! if the Brits show contempt for the American People and President Trump, and alienate the very Americans who love and respect them the most!
A word to the wise is sufficient.
I completely agree. Yes, Americans hold the British as something very special, unfortunately most Americans have never been to Britain and those that have are usually there to do the tourist things. Most Americans have never felt the contempt that most Brits have for us.
Most Americans believe that we still have the relationship and friendship that existed after WWII. Our view of the British is romanticized, but in actuality the warm relationship hasn’t existed for many decades.
Speaking for myself, they lost me many years ago and now I do not give a rat’s behind what happens to them. My advice to others is go back through recent history and look at any controversial issues, Britain always stands with the opposition against us.
