This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

[Taipan]

So given Trump is pretty pro British, anyone excited or intrigued by the possible trade deals that could now come?

To add to the plethora that were agreed last term?

Like the trade deal on...you know...erm...and then the was the agreement on....give me a minute...then there was...wassitcalled?

SHame we've had our elections as we could have got Farage in. Then all would have been well. 51st state anyone?

[ZRX61]

I haven’t heard the Fat Lady yet.
At times this thread has been amusing if nothing else.

Orca Windbag was stumping for Harris on Monday.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I've already booked my holiday to Kyiv in late January, it'll all be sorted by then

[DefTrap]

Yeah so when is Trump stopping this war exactly and Puttin' ( ) that there Putin in his place?

We've got enough problems as it is,we should take it as a wake up call & get closer to our neighbours across the channel

Why those low down cheese eating surrender monkeys have scuppered Brexit. We'll have nothing to do with them anymore!

FFS you idiots, you were supposed to rig it the other way!

First POTUS to win the popular vote since Bush...

Looking forward to the depatriation flights of celebs leaving the country. I guess Deniro already left earlier today?

Round here Philip Day has been buying masses of land* and just growing pheasants for his shoots and maize (corn if yer a yank) for his biogas plant.
Then Edward Haughey** was buying off loads as well, or at least was til his helicopter flew into some igneous cumulus and between them they turned a shitload of productive land into pretty much dead farms.


*after his Edinburgh Woolen Mill went pop and he sold it then bought it back via his daughter for pennies on the pound, still had a lot of money for land mind.

**The Irish PMs brother.

You get some idea of the logic (that's been given a bit of a shoeing) with the returned tax exile 'Farmer' James Dyson (77) who owns 35,000 acres - currently worth about £0.5 billion. Before the budget he could bequeath it all, tax free to his offspring. Nice work if you can get it. Now only the first million escapes the Treasury and the rest brings in a handy 20%.

I'm sure he'll find a loophole or two and/or exile himself at his vacuum factory in Singapore where they assemble the bits made in Malaysia - in awful conditions, by workers on $10/day* - again.

He might even lose his passionate interest in growing turnips and start to sell land.

*according to Channel 4. He tried to sue them but dropped the case.

Bookmarked.

He could share the charter with Gates and Swift!

Just set the *farm* up as a family owned corporation.

Dear democrat party.
America isn't ready for a non male president for at least 20 years, especially a laydeeee 'of color'

I think it is more the case that being "of colour" and female is not sufficient qualification by itself to be a President.

What else does Kamala have? Oh yeah, she is not Trump. Surely that's enough?

Gonna have to say no to that, thank fuck.

Hating Trump didn't make Harris more qualified. She lost because she's a blithering idiot. At least now she has a reason to avoid the media.

FFS stop whining you're as bad as the Brexiteers.

Haven't you got that arse upwards, as it was the Brexiteers that won, so it was the remain lot that were bleating?

[ZRX61]

Looking forward to hearing Trump appoint Candace Owens as WH Press Secretary. The MSM would have another meltdown, CNN is a dumpster fire this morning

Eh? Biggest whingers I know voted Brexit,the naive fools thought that once Brexit happened all the asylum seekers would stop paddling across the channel,the East Europeans would go back home & the NHS would fix itself.It appears not to have panned out the way they thought & they start bleating,if you want a bit of sport ask them about the EU visa plans ...

[MyLittleStudPony]

The remoaners shouldn't be allowed to enjoy all the lovely Brexit Benefits. All that Brexity fish and the crowns on the pint glasses.

True enough in some ways. Most people I know want the boats stopped! But I cant think of anyone that wanted eastern euros shipped out though, we'd never get our cars washed!

Very much so. I would expect zero tariff and a free trade deal.

I mean I would but for our new Labour government, especially some of the key cabinet figures, Reeves and Lamy give me shudders. No idea who Douglas Alexander even is.

Trump has a dream team behind him, Musk, Vance, Kennedy, Gabbard. Labour is more of a nightmare.

Glad to see Farage so politically active again. That's also good for the UK.
