Trump: You need to get rid of non-monetary trade barriers that discriminate against American goods.
UK: Like what?
Trump: Like um, why is shipping to the UK from America so much more expensive than shipping from Europe. You need to fix that.
UK: Europe is geographically much closer to us, Mr. President.
Trump: And that’s not fair. Change it.
UK: Okay… if you say so.
Further proof that the aristocracy are so accustomed to bribing their way out of accountability to any law that they think it will work with the fucking Laws of Physics.

I can’t believe the country with the biggest economy and the most money buys more stuff than it sells. This is an injustice!
