  1. Even if Trump got back in power, what on earth makes some of the Brexiteers think that he would give the UK a good trade deal?, he'll give the UK a deal, but I can't imagine it being a good deal for the UK with how Trump always puts America and himself first. The UK probably has a better chance of getting a better deal out of Biden than Trump, but honestly, it's in the interest of the UK to rebuild relations with the EU and work on getting better trade terms with them, maybe someday rejoining the single market and custom union, which would solve a lot of the problems the UK faces when it comes to trade. Another factor, the UK creating disunity in Europe at a time when unity is needed among the west because of China and Russia, doesn't exactly look good for the UK and the US views on the EU might have their ups and downs at times, but they likely know that a strong EU is needed to help the US counter what China is doing, which honestly, I don't think the EU or US on its own are going to be powerful enough to keep China in check long term, after all, where is China economy and power going to be in 30 years from now? A strong united front from the west is needed, and the UK creating waves isn't doing the west any favours, Biden likely sees that whereas Trump see an opportunity to take advantage of the UK, after all, a divided Europe is easier to take advantage off and we saw with Trump when he thought he could do individual trade deals with each EU country, he wanted that because he knows he can screw them over, whereas he can't with the EU because of it's size. Brexiteers pinning their hopes on Trump are in for a rude awakening, and they should know better, I mean seriously, how many times have they got it wrong on Brexit? I've lost count. A big part of Brexit was about wanting to create their own laws, rules and regulations, a fine notion but not as realistic in a globalist world where the EU and US make the rules, the real problem for the UK is this, the more the UK tries to diverge from EU rules, the harder it's going to be to trade with them, the more barriers that go up, especially if the UK lowers standards, which we are already seeing early signs of that happen and is likely a core part on why the Tories wanted Brexit. At the end of the day, because of geographic, it's in the UK's interest to have good trade terms with the EU, as the EU is more or less going to dominant most of our trade, it's all well and good the UK saying it can trade with the rest of the world, but economics always goes for the cheaper option, most countries trade the most with nearby countries because it makes economic sense to do so, the only time that isn't the case is either because of cheap labour or goods you can't buy nearby and another major factor is investment, the EU and US are massive markets, where the laws, rules and regulations cover a lot of consumers, that's enticing for investment, if the UK were to change rules too much, the UK would become a less enticing option for investment, especially big investment where companies invest with the intention of selling Europe wide, the EU makes far more sense in that case because it covers a lot more people whiles at the same time, many countries not in the EU follow the same rules more or less, that's the reality for the UK in why it's easy to say we want to create our own rules, it's another story to do that.

  2. There is a chance but there's little to no chance of getting a good trade deal from Trump. It wouldn't surprise me if the Tories are dumb enough to sign any deal with the US just to say we did it like they did with that bad deal with Australia which to this day, the EU won't sign because it's not that good of a deal for the EU. Brexiteers needs to understand, signing a trade deal is easy, getting a good one is the hard part, and why on earth would any Brexiteers want to sign a bad deal? To screw themselves over? But then again, they did just that with voting for Brexit. The funny thing is, it's going to be those clowns that scream the most as their quality of life goes down because of Brexit, in the end, sometimes you can't help these people and should let them get on with it and suffer through it, but it's unfortunate for the rest that are also people the price, but they didn't fight hard enough to prevent this and even now, a lot of us in the UK know Brexit is a mess, yet, what are we doing to change things? I'm fine with people that make mistakes but learn from them, but that means nothing unless it's backed by action to correct thoes mistakes.
