Trump is a counter puncher. He knows corrupt people will ultimately show their true colors so he was all nice and friendly with Theresa May (as he’s been with Macron and others) but he doesn’t trust them.. If Trump had been critical of May from the outset he would have gotten a lot of flack. Instead, he gives people like May, Macron, etc. enough rope to hang themselves. The thing is, Trump is still in office and Theresa May is on her way out. Funny how that works.
You nailed it. After two and a half years, I'm surprised more people don't understand how President Trump operates. His entrenched and camouflaged enemies are driven mad and can't resist exposing themselves. I love this guy.
