Sycophancy.
True diplomacy is getting what you want, while letting the fat orange tw@t think he's got what he wants.
Or telling him to get fooked, without him realising

Exactly.

Not sure that I agree with that. He promised a trade deal with China- he told Xi that he would turn a blind eye to what was happening in Hong Kong in return for a trade deal. There was no trade deal.
The only "hostile" state that he regularly maligned throughout his presidency on Twitter was Iran. He warned them that if they retaliated following the drone strike on general Soleiman, he, Trump, would target 52 Iranian sites of cultural importance. They called his bluff and openly fired missiles at the Al Asad US airbase in Iraq. Over 100 US personnel had to be flown to Germany to be treated. What was Trump's response? He downplayed the injuries as headaches and immediately ceased to goad Iran on Twitter.
His lovefest with "little rocketman" in North Korea also failed. He was advised to not engage with them, but believed that he was the Great Negotiator and that Kim would bend to his will. Kim broke off the bromance and went back to firing missiles. Trump went quiet overnight.
The guy is unhinged. The likes of Putin/Xi/Kim soon realised that they they could massage his ego to their ends.
He did however manage to damage relations with countries such as Denmark because they were not willing to sell Greenland. He went as far as cancelling a state visit.
World leaders respect the position of the POTUS. Very few respect Trump. Merkel had the right approach and treated Trump like a small child.

If he wins you will see them all bending over backwards to secure a meeting to tell him what a lovely shade of orange he is. If he loses it wont matter.
I worry he will win.
Bad news for Britain and bad news for Ukraine.

Don't we get a preferential Brexit trade deal?
In truth most US presidents just suffer this damp, has-been little island. Bush Jnr was almost mocking in his "yo Blair!" moments. Obama made no secret of his antipathy towards UK and Biden is an Irish Republican sympathiser.
Trump is the least of our worries. At least he has connections to UK, seems to like some aspects of it enough to invest big money in Scotland.
What has he done that's so wrong?
You seem OK with Two Tier sending a whole delegation to
Seem to remember the Con/Lib Dem coalition bunch of amateurs mocking and slagging off Trump when he was running for Pres. Then he won.
Thought at the time it didn't seem wise to belittle someone who might just become President. Just goes to show the calibre of people now running UK. Must have made for some very awkward meetings with The Don.

Yep - if your job is politician, you should be good at politics.
And even stronger ties to The Fatherland.
Trump seemed have listened. Couple of days ago he said his fixes will be tough initially but better later.
Yes there's a large dose of rose-tinted glasses about my following statement, however what I find quite disappointing/sad is the way in which their election contest has been run. All the anger, all the vitriol, all the name calling. How the heck any country is supposed to 'come together' when their leaders or would be leaders act in such a manner is beyond me.
