President Trump Participates In A ‘Fascinating’ Joint Press Conference With Prime Minister Theresa May

President Trump just participated in a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May, and it sounds like our relationship with the UK has never been better.

"From the outset, @POTUS has been clear about how he sees the challenges we face, and on many we agree."

Before taking questions, both leaders made it clear that they were on the same page, despite previous differences and despite the “controversial” remarks Trump made to the the UK Sun.

Trump addressed that straight on.

At another point, a reporter asked about Trump’s upcoming meeting with Putin, and it was the dumbest question of all time.

“Are you giving Russian President Vladimir Putin the upper hand heading into your talks…”

Are you kidding me? That’s a serious question?

That prompted Trump to compare NBC to CNN.

“See, that’s such dishonest reporter, of course it happens to be NBC which is possibly worse than CNN. Possibly, possibly,” Trump said.

“What is important is that the president goes into this as he is doing, from a position of strength and also from a position of unity in NATO. I think that is very important,” PM May says on @POTUS’ meeting with President Putin https://t.co/dGF3e8qZ1N pic.twitter.com/uQxaqkZnxg

ANYWAY. President Trump dropped a significant tidbit during the press conference. I can’t find a clip at this moment, because big news outlets don’t feel like it’s important, but it is. Trump said that he’s already hearing that NATO allies are going to step it up financially. I think that’s a BIG deal.

Am I the only one? Alrighty then.

Here are more remarks from the presser:

.@POTUS on Putin meeting: "Will we be talking about meddling? I will absolutely bring that up. I don't think you'll have any, 'Gee, I did it, I did it, you got me.' There won't be a Perry Mason here I don't think." pic.twitter.com/33DBItPH0O

.@POTUS: "[Immigration is] changing the culture, I think it's a very negative thing for Europe… I know it's politically not necessarily correct, but I'll say it, and I'll say it loud. And I think they'd better watch themselves because you are changing culture." pic.twitter.com/Rr64udmSv3
