Trump apparently tried to convince France to leave the EU.
He has no understanding of the French president nor the people that elected him.
How would the US feel if European ppilitixians would try to convince California to leave the US?
If you think these are analogous then you have no understanding of the EU.

Fool
Yes.
Well, at least you know yourself. Kudos
Youre ssorren, flyyyyying, there’s not a fallacy in America that you can’t preach.

If you’re trying, it’s not clear to see.

You know the world can see you; in a way that’s more true of who you are.

Creating space between us; really breaks my heart.

Your beliefs make me sick, sick to my belly.

This trade should be free!

You're ssorren

You’re lying,

There’s not a Fox News broadcast you can’t preach.

They are not analogous, but close

God I’d love to see California leave the US. You do know that the EU is a horrid drain of France and Germany’s economic might. Well mostly Germany. Still, the EU is failing and doesn’t have that much time.

More than asking you to look? Britain has always seen a united Europe as a threat, and for the last several centuries has pursued policies aimed at preventing that happening. Allied with the Portuguese against the Spanish, allied with the Spanish against the French, allied with the French against the Germans etc etc. The prospect of a European Union was the biggest recent threat of this, and after proposals of merging Britain and France were rejected as too extreme a measure, we adopted a policy of creating disunity from within. By pushing for ever greater EU expansion we managed to create an EU with fundamental divisions north and south, east and west, and with completely incompatible cultures and economies. If we'd only managed to get Turkey to join that would have been a complete success, but sadly the Federalists managed to thwart us.

That is why many in the EU are happy to see Britain leave (not me)

Some of the funniest parts of the comedy Yes Minister involved Sir Humphrey Appleby explaining to his Minister England's foreign policy goals and the EU. Classic stuff. Like his explanation that Britain only joined the EU to make sure it was a failure, you can muck it up much easier as a member. Or the defense of the British sausage episode.

I wonder if American producers & writers could​, like they have copied so many British comedies, come up with a hilarious satire that is influenced by Yes Minister & based on Trump & the disfunctional nature of US Federal government and politics at present.

Unfortunately most US copies of British comedies are nowhere near as good as the originals

Agreed, Yes minister is a fabulous series. And still current.

Trump's mouth couldn't open as wide as he would want to grin. If he thought it would happen he would be tweeting encouragement.
