Donald Trump is going to be POTUS for the next four years and if his policies are still popular in America at the end of that time it may very well be that a Republican (Vance ?) will replace him. And that person will probably continue in a similar vein.
So what should the UK do now ?
At the moment the UK is stuck in the middle trying to balance keeping the US onside while doing the same thing with the EU. That applies with trade as well as the Ukraine problem.
In my opinion we should, while carrying on being diplomatically onside with the US, accept that in the long run our future is better served by accepting we are part of Europe (not the EU) and work toward better relations with the EU.
If we engage with the US on trade we know that they will ALWAYS, especially if it's a Trump/Vance Republican administration, ensure that the US wins the (Trade) war. They will use their size and might to ensure that happens because they hold all the cards, to use a currently popular phrase. |  | | |  |

Based on what we’ve seen so far, I’d agree with a lot of your comments.
We’ll have to wait and see how things pan out in the US, but the Republicans and their allies have played a blinder while the Democrats have had a mare.
Musk bought Twitter and calls the tunes on Social Media, that’s a huge weapon in the disinformation arsenal. Biden has been much criticised in the media, by Trump etc and his backers and deemed by many to be unfit for office, the Democrats then turned to Harris who has also been heavily criticsed and but more importantly didn’t command enough support.
The Democrats need to find a new candidate if they want to have a serious run at JDVance next time out, they need someone who is clean cut, has integrity, straight (I’m not being homophonic just pointing out that to command the level of support to win the election in the US they need to attract support from across large parts of the US which as a country can be very bigoted) and be able to appeal to the masses from the white, black and Hispanic communities. That’s a big ask - and with so many of the wealthy pumping cash in to GOP getting the message across is a tough ask. [Post edited 4 Mar 17:40]

We are stuck between to evils, Bully boy Trump and the EU.
Trump will do what he sees is best for the USA and doesn't give a stuff about the UK, whilst the EU will try to stuff us at every opportunity. |  |

I accept that the EU will do what's best for the EU same as America will. And the same as the UK will.
The difference is that what's good for the EU, in the case of Ukraine for one, is the same as what's best for the UK. | | | |

Of course we should be inside of the EU and inside a properly funded Euro defence force.
Trump cant be trusted. The end. |  |

My first impression of JD Vance in that circus of the live TV broadcast last week will never make me feel easy for the outcome of Ukraine , Its victims and Independence .
The Don holds all the cards now in this awful situation , play now or hold .
Poker faced reactions and up the chips on the who gives first , a frightening scenario . | | | |

Bearing in mind where we are at the moment with Europe starting a scramble to work together to re-arm and build up their individual armies imagine how great it would have been if 10/15/20 years ago a European army had been created.
Europe would have been in a much stronger position in dealing with Trump and Putin.. | | | |

Yes John - and Farage/Johnson picked the polar opposite route for the UK by telling a bunch of lies.
Should be jailed like any CEO who told lies would be. | |
