Trump visit to U.K. inspires yea

How should Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain respond to President Donald Trump's interview undercutting her position on Brexit, just as she hosts him for a visit?

According to many Twitter users Friday, there was only one option: to channel actor Hugh Grant, specifically his performance in the romantic comedy "Love Actually."

In the film, Grant plays a British prime minister who hosts a lecherous U.S. president played by Billy Bob Thornton, and who finally snaps. At a news conference, he is asked about the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States.

"I fear that this has become a bad relationship — a relationship based on the president taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, um, Britain, " he says in the movie.

"We may be a small country, but we're a great one too, " he adds, to a soundtrack of soaring strings. "A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I should be prepared to be much stronger. And the president should be prepared for that."

May, who hosted Trump at a dinner Thursday and was meeting with him at the country estate Chequers on Friday, showed no sign of planning a confrontation. But at least one prominent supporter of the opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said that he would have done so: "If we'd elected Jeremy Corbyn last year, we'd be getting our Love Actually moment right now, " Kerry-Anne Mendoza wrote on Twitter. "Instead, Trump baby is getting his ego fondled by Theresa the Appeaser. We may get a do-over soon. Don't make the same mistake twice Britain."
