    The Union Jack is a triple-hybrid of the original flags of England (red perpendicular cross on a white background), Scotland (the blue corners of the flag) and Northern Ireland (the red crossbars) — do a Google Image search on the key terms and see the component flags and the combined Union Jack.

    With Boris Johnson (serial philanderer, vulgar of speech, racist, wild blond hair, born in New York … the comparisons to Trump are highly valid), who is despised in Northern Ireland and Scotland (who also wish to remain in the European Union, it is very likely that Boris will not only lead England out of the E.U., but that he will also lead England out of the United Kingdom, which may splinter into its component parts with Northern Ireland and Scotland returning to their separate status as independent states and opting to remain in the E.U. and avoiding the calamity that Boris (British Trump) is about to rain down on the island nations.

    A generational problem that is being created by an older, undereducated, anti-democratic, xenophobic, (racist rather than nationalist) segment of society. prodded by extremist disinformation, afraid of a future where knowledge, skills, and performance will be more important than the color of your skin in attaining/sustaining social status. They will be leaving a real mess for Gen-Y and Gen-Z to clean up and may never again be seen as world leaders but as isolationists like North Korea or Cuba.

    Hasn’t England been paying attention to what is going on in the U.S.?? Why would they possibly want a trump clone running their country. What am I missing??

    HERE’s the little tidbit that explains how and why Epstein and Trump fell out with one another.

    Basically, Trump rooked Epstein over on a deal, then ratted him out to the cops re: his sexual ‘proclivities’, which resulted in the case where Acosta gave him the sweetheart deal to make it go away. Trump apparently ratted on Epstein, because Epstein was threatening to expose Trump’s financial fraud and possible money laundering.

    The property in question is the one that Trump sold to a Russian for $95MM, after he paid $41MM, snatching the property out from under Epstein, who’d been the high bid $36 MM and was in the process of finalizing the sale.

    Epstein shared the fact of the sale with Trump. Trump went behind his back and arranged with Deutsche bank to get 100% financing @ 5 MM more than Epstein’s bid.

    Epstein knew Trump was probably fronting for someone and threatened to expose him for fraud and possible money-laundering — BIG MISTAKE for Epstein, good thing for the young girls he was preying on.

    Epstein knew Trump didn’t have the money to pay for anything, but for SOME reason, Deutsche Bank advanced him the money and Epstein may know why.When Epstein discovered this, he was incensed. The two men squabbled about it. And Trump did what he always does: he doubled down on the back-stabbing he was already doing to his erstwhile good friend: Jeffrey Epstein.

    Britain Trump and America Trump.

    Even they have trouble telling themselves apart because they both lack Object Permanence.
