Excited to spend the next 4 years watching the British right pull their most serious face as they talk about the perilous state of government finances while never suggesting what they would actually change (or suggesting that their fiscal discipline could somehow totally fix it).

“Abase yourself in statements and with gifts” is visibly the right approach as a Trump hedge, but it needs to be paired with “wean yourself off US dependency so you aren’t going to have to still be doing this in 2048”.
