Presidency and the next guy or woman well be able to get along with just fine, or are there fundamental issues here that will have lasting damage? >> i dont know about lasting damage. definitely short-term damage and interfering with brexit the way president trump does is just really ludicrous in my mind. but the good news here is that this is the anniversary coming up of d-day on june 6th. it might be the greatest generation comes to our rescue on trumps visit here. back in 1995 when bill clint...

I think many of his aides in moments like this really look forward to this. its a bit of a reprieve for him as well. he doesnt have time right now to get into anymore feuds, at least for the next few hours. >> well, theres that. abby phillip, thanks very much. the personal petty public jabs not the only way president trump is breaking diplomatic norms. hes injected himself into the brexit debate going on in britain, telling prime minister theresa mays office -- theyre trying to tell trump not ...

Its interesting that donald trump has involved his family so keenly in this visit as well. >> yes, you see prince charles and camilla there as well. were learning a little more about the gift exchanges in addition to the book by winston churchill. the president was given this three-piece pen set made exclusively for the queen. first lady melania trump was given, were told, a specially commissioned silver box. this is typical, right, max, customary for the queen to present these gifts to heads of...

Going to be steppingth aside in just a couple of days. the president made it pretty clear, i believe on friday or so that he believes the next prime minister of the u.k. should be boris johnson. he believes nigel farage should be doing the negotiating on behalf of the u.k. when it comes to brexit. it is not necessarily a welcome or normal thing for the president of the united states to weigh in on domestic politics in the u.k. >> yes, thats definitely true, but i think of course trump is anythin...

Real sense of urgency in trying to repair any damage thats been done to the special relationship over the course of president trumps presidency and to try to at least agree upon the contours of some kind of a bilateral trade agreement because that trade agreement will really be essential to the uk as it finds itself increasingly potentially adrift in a post brexit world. so lots of political machinations here, jim, and it will be very interesting to see who indeed the president does meet with an...

Its a crash out, forget it, there will be friction-full trade. queue, lines. ports, you know, we dont know aircraft, will your passport work. you know, for many businesses, they may collapse. >> so people in the uk who support brexit, not necessarily people who are angry about trade agreements, but they sort of think that in the end, the uk will do better off without europe and the european experiment hasnt worked all that well. so the stuff you describe seems to make life easier, frictionless t...

Want? shell go to europe and said, can you give us any compromises. it is a complete mess. it almost makes whats happening in washington look pleasant. >> it is a complete mess. one of the problems is bill speaks of two tribes. its not even quite that simple. there are members of labor who support brexit, conservatives who support brexit. the cross currents are pretty difficult to pin down, arent they? >> absolutely right. this is the problem. there are splipts across shot through politics and f...

Provide that sense of awareness to the american people? >> i think the -- in retrospect and it is always easier to say this in retrospect, the obama administration should have done more to alert people, but, you know, it was kind of unimaginable in the beginning, that the russians, even though they had done this in the ukraine, which i visit frequently, and in germany, and even though they might have been involved in the effort in england to get the british people to support brexit, that is gett...
