Yesterday’s
interview in which the Prime Minister revealed to the world the ‘sage’ advice which Trump had given
her about dealing with the EU – sue them, although on what grounds remains unclear
– was one of those very rare occasions on which she actually seemed to be
enjoying herself. And who can blame
her? After the way on which Trump
rubbished her approach to Brexit and suggested that the ex-Foreign Secretary
would be a good PM, exposing Trump to ridicule must have felt good.
It gets even
better, though. If suing the EU is a
spectacularly stupid approach to negotiating a withdrawal, what does that say
about the idea of putting the person suggesting it in charge of the
negotiations? It was of course the
former Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, who suggested
that putting Trump in charge of negotiating with the EU would be a “very, very good thought”. Exposing Trump’s simplistic stupidity must
have felt good to the PM in the circumstances – being able to give Boris a sly kick
at the same time must surely have felt even better.
