and was very much on board for the second presidency, but in recent months has fallen out big time with Trump, largely down to the Iran war situation.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

He has always argued to Trump, apparently, or according to himself.

The Other Hand

And I actually believe it, that it would be a mistake to go into Iran.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

It would be bad for the United States.
