Just give it up. Everyone with the slightest knowledge of history know that the British and the Americans have had a special relationship.

For centuries, American high schools have a year of American English literature and a year of British literature.

My elementary teachers always pointed out that England was our mother country.

We as a nation use British common law.

“You posted some generic pablum in response to my response...”

You don’t know what the word means.

“So you’re going with the birther argument?”

Again, you don’t know how to use logic. No Kenyan, and no black African, has emotional attachments to England.

“We’re not talking about the parents’ attachments, we’re talking about the Presidents’ attachments.”

Wow. I never said one word about parents’ attachment. Youo must be stupid. Don’t waste your time posting me back, I don’t knowingly read posts from stupid people.

I know that. I also know that's not going to change. I focused on the "emotional" aspect of Farage's comment, which you are dismissing out of hand.

I obviously don't believe that Trump will be the last president to honor the bond with England, I just want to know why Farage believes Trump will be the last president with an "emotional" bond with England.

Yes, you did.

Obama’s father, and that is debatable, I can assure you, had no attachment to England.

Not only did you say it, you "assured" me about it. Who's being stupid now?

I hope you'll forgive me for not accepting your assurances, but hate is just as much an emotion as love, and if native Kenyans hate England because of their colonial occupation, that's still an emotional connection. Obama Sr. could have passed that hate for England down to Obama, Jr., just as Trump's mother could have passed her love for Scotland down to her son.

Farage's comment implied a personal connection -- an emotional connection, not an obligation towards a historic one, and you're the one who's refusing to consider the possibility.
