Tough and brutal advice from President Trump
Last week during his visit with UK PM May, President Trump said he gave May some advise that she chose not to take with regard to Brexit.
I don't know what the protocol is among world leaders and especially close allies. Do leaders talk off the record? Ask for advise? Do other leaders give advise when not asked? Do they boost about it later - as if to say, "You are doing the wrong thing" (whether right or wrong in the end).
Of course, getting advise from Russians Putin - say on elections ; ) - would not be something wise to do, I would think.
Anyway, at the press conference last week, Pres. Trump said that he had a "brutal' and "tough" advise for the Brexit negotiations. That advise was revealed by PM May today in a live interview on BBC. His advise was to "sue the EU" over the terms of the Brexit plans from Britain and not "go into negotiations".
May did not consider the advise seriously. In fact, she chuckled after giving the "Big Reveal".
In a 2016 report, from USA Today, an analysis of legal filings across the United States found that Trump and his businesses were involved in at least 3,500 legal actions over the past three decades.
It's on to Helsinki for Pres. Trump as he meets with Russian's Putin. On Friday it was announced that 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted for the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton presidential campaign.
Trump tweeted about the indictment:
