Addressing President Trump’s upcoming state visit to Britain this June, Britain’s main opposition leader has pledged to boycott the state dinner at Buckingham Palace.
Instead, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn says, “It is disappointing that the prime minister has again opted to kowtow to this U.S. administration.” But, Corbyn adds, “I would welcome a meeting with President Trump to discuss all matters of interest.”
President Trump should take that meeting — but not for the sake of discourse. There’s no point in discussion when it comes to Corbyn, because the Labour leader would only defend his former employer Iran, call for compromise with his possible-former employer Russia, and insult the nation he most despises, America.
That said, Trump could at least use the meeting to find a good nickname for Corbyn. While I normally oppose Trump’s personal insults, seeing as Corbyn is such a devout anti-American, Putin appeaser, and overt terrorist sympathizer, I’m willing to make an exception here.
In turn, finding an apt moniker and then repeatedly referring to Corbyn with it, Trump would serve two purposes.
First, he would annoy Corbyn’s fanatical base in a manner that would amuse independent and conservative Britons. Second, Trump would make clear to the British people that a Corbyn government would require a major shift in how the U.S. deals with its most important ally. The latter concern is crucial. While Prime Minister Theresa May is a resolute ally in the finest tradition of the special relationship, Corbyn is the exact opposite. Were he ever to enter No. 10 Downing Street, Corbyn’s premiership would require America’s dramatic suspension of intelligence sharing, military cooperation, and diplomatic support. Truly, then, Corbyn would be a disaster both for Britain and America. The special relationship would recover, but not until Corbyn left office.
What of Corbyn’s moniker? Well, via FakeTrumpTweet.com, here are couple of my suggestions!
