It's obviously true that Trump doesn't do subtle and he's chasing poll ratings but he goes big time on loyalty and sticking by close Allies that play him well, see recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Mmmmm, closer ties with a political/economic block that Trump dislikes and made no...
Good emotional response but in the real world do you think our relationship with the worlds No1 superpower (who we rely on in so many ways) is best served by insulting, protesting against , deriding their leader or trying a more subtle approach?
