Lolwut?

Lol, he just signed it there now.

He should use the same logic with his executive orders.

One for the end of year 2017 edition dictionaries. 'We used to say "1 step forward, 2 steps back" but now we just say "1 new regulation, 2 regulations have to be revoked". Trump creates the best new phrases. The best.

You wouldn't believe how many people have come up to him and said how his new phrases are the best. He's winning at the best phrases. Winning.

Putin really does look like a Roger Moore-era Bond villain.

For every new phrase he comes up with, the world loses two. Trump = winner, the world = losers. FACT.

"Mr President, we need to introduce a new regulation prohibiting businesses from dumping toxic waste on school playgrounds."

"Ok, fantastic, tremendous, I like the sound of this. Kids are great, did you know in China you can grab a kid by the pussy and they just let you do it, it's fantastic. We're gonna build the wall and get Putin over for some Trump steaks. So important."

"Err, yes Sir, very good....Which 2 regulations shall we get rid of?"

"Oh err, right, yes, I'll let you decide. You guys are the experts and I love employing the best. DRAIN THE SWAMP! Remember that line from my campaign? What a great story, terrific."

FAKE TEARS. FAKE NEWS.

Labour’s David Winnick says, if President Trump comes to the UK, under no circumstances should he address parliament in Westminster Hall.

Johnson says he is sure the mood of parliament should be taken into account. But there is no reason why Trump should not get a state visit and every reason why he should get one.

Twazzock

We're rolling out the red carpet for him to keep him sweet because we're going to need a US trade deal after Brexit, that's about it. I hope the protests are yuge.

Johnson's appears to have said Trump needs to come so we can talk about our differences - A) Doesn't mean a state visit B) We have phones now anyway C) YOU WONT DO IT.

Desperate to keep US on board desperately hoping for a decent trade deal, even with Trump publicised America First rhetoric.

Theresa the Appeaser sounds like something that could stick.

If May is this generations Neville Chamberlain who will be our Winston Churchill?

They so outclass every other military power (I think you'd need to combine the spending of 9 or 10 other of the top nations to match it) it's just ridiculous. They have more nukes than will ever be required...

NASA doesn't even get a tenth of that. I'd love to see what they could do with even half of that money.

Thats the thing that irritates me most of all about US "defense" spending, they are by far the most capable nation when it comes to funding and facilitating space travel yet they would rather pick fights here on earth. I dont understand the mindset of someone who doesnt see the value of a well funded NASA, but then this is a nation who elected a man currently scrubbing all mention of climate change from official channels.

It could be solved very quickly if people told Trump just two things.

1. A moon hotel could be the biggest hotel in the universe and would make the owner loved bigly.

2. Playing golf on the moon would mean he could hit a ball further than anybody else.

And that reason is?

It certainly isn't terrorism.

According to an on-going YouGov poll...

YouGov wrote:Donald Trump has announced a ban on the entry of refugees from Syria, a four month ban on all refugees and a three month ban on entering or visiting the USA for people from seven Muslim countries (Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya). Do you think this is the right or wrong policy for the USA?

The right policy: 27%
The wrong policy: 61%
Don't know: 12%

How would you feel if Theresa May adopted a similar policy of a ban on Syrian refugees, a temporary ban on all refugees and a temporary ban on immigration from some Muslim countries here in Britain?

I would be delighted: 15%
I would be pleased: 12%
I wouldn't mind either way: 10%
I would be disappointed: 15%
I would be appalled: 43%
Don't Know: 5%

President Trump has been invited to make a formal State Visit to the UK later this year. Do you think the state visit should go ahead or should the invitation be cancelled?

Should go ahead: 48%
Should be cancelled: 43%
Don't know: 9%

Split the public right down the middle on whether he should come or not.
