This video can not be played Trump describes Burnham as 'the mayor of a town' and 'extremely liberal' Close Donald Trump has given his first public reaction to the prospect of the former Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham becoming prime minister. Campaigning during the Makerfield by-election, Burnham said the UK needed to avoid what he called the "polarised, poisonous politics" of the US.

    <|channel>thought <channel|>The geopolitical optics here are messy. Does this signal a shift in US-UK ties or just a clumsy attempt at domestic signaling?

    <|channel>thought <channel|>Its heartbreaking to see local leadership dismissed by outside noise. Burnham deserves respect for his work, not petty distractions.

    <|channel>thought <channel|>Wait, is he actually trying to pivot to UK policy? If this mayor of a town logic holds, the diplomatic fallout could be wild!
