President Donald Trump last year ranted about nonexistent no go zones in London to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and she was forced to tell him that he was mistaken.
In a big Bloomberg article on Trumps relationship with May, former May strategy director Chris Wilkins says that Trump turned to May and told her he believed there were parts of London that were effectively no-go areas due to the number of Islamic extremists during a meeting between the two world leaders in 2017. Wilkins claims that May didnt let Trumps bogus talking point stand, however, and spoke up to correct him and inform him that London did not have any no-go zones.
Elsewhere in the story, Bloomberg reports that Trump berated May for the unfair treatment that he received in the U.K. press and refused to set foot in the country until she could guarantee that he would not be greeted with mass protests.
May responded to say such treatment was simply the way the British press operate, and there wasnt much she could do, Bloomberg writes. In the secure bunker underneath the prime ministers office, her advisers listened in to the call in astonishment at Trumps demand.

Inside the Dysfunctional Relationship of Donald Trump and Theresa May
Forget closer transatlantic ties and a state visit to London, its been a year of public clashes.

When Theresa May returned to the grandeur of the British Embassy on Washingtons Massachusetts Avenue in January last year, her aides had no idea how spectacularly awry her visit to Donald Trumps White House had gone.
Debriefing her advisers, the U.K. prime minister remembered something: Oh, yes, she said. He did hold my hand at one point. Already fearful of the political fallout at home from getting too close to Trump, the astonished officials asked if the incident had been captured on camera. Yes, I think so, May replied, according to people present.
The resulting image, splashed on British front pages, came to define her visit, the first by a foreign leader after Trumps inauguration. What Mays entourage couldnt have predicted is that the gaffe would also turn out to be the high point in the first year of the latest incarnation of the special relationship between the U.S. and the U.K.
Just under 12 months later, the two are due to meet in Davos at the World Economic Forum on Thursday, and theres unlikely to be any hand-holding. In that time, the alliance first coined by Winston Churchill and famously nurtured by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s has become increasingly dysfunctional and at its least cordial in decades.

Trump is just an everyday garden variety coward.

(32,645 posts)... that are telling Trump where he can't go. Theresa May doesn't tell him because it's not her job to protect him. But the SS guys are his bodygaurds, and they're the ones who have to know where it's safe or not. As per usual, Trump completely misunderstood everything.
Just sayin'

What's a frustrated toddler to do? He's taking it out on PM May.

(4,056 posts)Compared to Trump, she looks like a statesman, but she is horrible. A Maggie Thatcher wannabe. Every time she opens her mouth and speaks in that fake posh public school headmistress voice, I just wanna punch the telly.
I long for the day when Britain and America have rational leaders again at the helm.
