LOL! Trump told Theresa May he won't visit UK unless she can "fix it" so he has positive coverage

This was a story from the Sun, but I found it tweeted by WaPo's WH Bureau chief, Philip Rucker:




Trump told Theresa May he won't visit U.K. unless she will "fix it for me" so that he gets positive media coverage


___


From the Sun:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4027315/donald-trump-begs-theresa-may-to-fix-a-warm-welcome-for-his-state-visit-and-says-he-wont-fix-a-date-for-it-until-he-knows-hes-going-to-get-a-better-reception/

Headline: "TRUMP COWER Donald Trump begs Theresa May to fix a ‘warm welcome’ for his state visit – and says he won’t fix a date for it until he knows he’s going to get ‘a better reception’"

-snip-


A transcript of the chat, seen by senior diplomats, reveals his touchiness. Mr Trump says: “I haven’t had great coverage out there lately, Theresa.”

She replies awkwardly: “Well, you know what the British press are like.”

He replies: “I still want to come, but I’m in no rush.

“So, if you can fix it for me, it would make things a lot easier.

“When I know I’m going to get a better reception, I’ll come and not before.”

They actually have the common sense to hate Trump. When will the other 46% of this country catch up to Britain?

That is not going too well for the UK right now. Trump is being a hardass with her because she needs the US to buttress her at home.
