Donald Trump stumped over question about torture

DONALD Trump jokingly threatened the US-UK special relationship is over, after he was asked a difficult question by a visiting journalist.



“Mr President, you’ve said before that torture works, you’ve praised Russia, you’ve said you wanted to ban some Muslims from coming to America, you’ve suggested there should be punishment for abortion.

“For many people in Britain, those sound like alarming beliefs. What do you say to our viewers at home who are worried about your beliefs, and worried about you becoming the leader of the free world?”

“This is your choice of a question? There goes that relationship!” he quipped.

Torture does not work and will not be used.
Russia is to be sanctioned, not praised.
Muslims are not banned from entry.
There is no punishment for abortion.
Medical care is an enshrined right, not a privilege dependent on wealth.
Climate change is real.

Etc. etc.

How long will the special relationship last, me thinks not long.

Just make sure they don't blink a Morse code message while you video-record the confession.

... but found this on WIKI...

As Prime Minister, May has focused on reducing immigration and withdrawing the UK from the European Union.



And she still is smarter than the fuckwad...of course pretty much everybody is...
