Listening to Teresa May speak and comparing her to Trump

Watching her press conf about Syrian attacks.
She speaks in complete sentences.
Perfect grammar and structure.
She also actually answers what she is asked.

No matter what her conservative leanings might be, it sure is nice to hear a world leader speak so eloquently.

...well, compared to Crooked Donald. I'm not really impressed with her, though... If I lived in the UK, I would think she was just going in on this Syria attack to help Crooked Donald. Her real problem is Putin launched a chemical attack right there in her country.

When she blew the Conservative party's majority - she looked rattled and a bit of a gibbering wreck during her post election count speech at her constituency. I'm sorry she climbed on board last night and okayed this attack on Syria.

6. She sounds like a vacuous robot.

She’s the least erudite prime minister Britain has had in modern memory. The fact she sounded impressive says nothing about her, and simply says a lot about how low Trump has dragged the bar.

of the English language, without sound grammatical and speaking skills.

They still have an economy of language that astounds.

WE wear sunglasses.

The Brits wear "sunnies".

9. I disagree with her on nearly everything, but at least she's not a reality TV star playing leader.
