There's going to be furious buck passing around who invited Mango Mussolini...

I suspect that notice is just a generic one that's been sent out a day or two ago before the agreement for UK passport holders.

This is sounding like the beginning of the end for May. :dread:

I think he's trying to become less popular than Hitler.
I think he may manage it.

I suspect it is an ill thought out executive order written by an idiot for an idiot and nobody has any real idea of what it is.

Except the FO say the UK haven't got special treatment - it applies to ALL Dual Nationalities as told to them by Trump.

So the "generic one" should have been right.

Shambles of an hatefull little plan

Well lets hope not, because we'll end up with Boris.

It wasn't May or FO/Boris, it was Liz!

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.

I can just imagine Theresa and Lizzie sat having a cup of tea and Lizzie saying "do me a favour, invite that lovely Mr Trump over for a nice Gregg's steak bake".

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. :fp:

He's so dangerously divisive at a time when he should be trying to unite his country! The media is the opposition? Christ! :fp:

He's taking the backlash well

I can just imagine him sat in the Situation Room, looking at his Twitter whilst loads of generals and high-level politicians sit around exchanging nervous glances waiting for him to respond to one of their questions.

U.S. will change course on climate policy, Trump official says

The United States will switch course on climate change and will pull the country out of a global pact to cut emissions, said Myron Ebell, who headed U.S. President Donald Trump's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transition team until his inauguration.

"(Trump) could do it by executive order tomorrow or he could do it as part of a larger package," Ebell told a conference in London on Monday. "I have no idea of the timing."

Trump's administration has asked the EPA to temporarily halt all contracts, grants and interagency agreements pending a review, according to sources.

Get the feeling Trump has never watched a David Attenborough documentary in his life.
