    Quote:
    Donald Trump has intervened in the UK’s nascent election campaign, calling on Boris Johnson to team up with Nigel Farage to form an “unstoppable force” and claiming Jeremy Corbyn would be “so bad for your country”.

    Speaking to Farage on LBC Radio, the US president also said that Johnson’s Brexit deal could prevent the UK from agreeing a trade deal with the US

    So we have the US President interfering in another country's election. Still, he didn't object when the Russians did it. He is, at least, consistent.

    Good for Trump! Did he send in spies to derail Bojo's opposition... NO! he said it right out in public! Here's praying Boris will get Brexit enacted.

    A political leader, ANY political leader, publicly stating support for ANY other political leader is -not- "election interference." A political leader, ANY political leader, publicly adding "reasons" to that support that don't include demonstrative -threats of military action- is -not- "election interference." I'm not even sure that threats of military force would constitute "election interference." There may be some banana republic somewhere without free speech that has laws otherwise, but rest assured the U.S. isn't one... yet.

    As our friends on the Left tell us... every day... here and elsewhere, the rest of the world HATES Trump and he is doing immense DAMAGE to our foreign relations, so if true (it's not) -now- -suddenly- he's an influence that people would follow and listen to? Do they not realize that they can't get away with saying one thing one week and then the exact -opposite- thing the very next week any more?

    Don't they realize that this kind of ninny-nannying hyperbole is EXACTLY why they lost?
