Great intelligence is not a requirement of World leaders but at least we can hope that they at least surround themselves with men and women who at least know what's going in.
Though as Mikhail Gorbachev. once said
As the Washington Post reports
But lets face it Trumps claim that the NHS was financially strapped and dysfunctional, is true.
It is his argument that it is because it is universal health-care system that is fundamentally wrong.
Those who from the Tories like May and Hunt who claim to be supporting the NHS from Trump's criticism . should consider their deliberate privatisation of the NHS and reverse it immediately.
We don't need a government that defends the principle universal health-car, when it is attacked by a right wing US politician.
We need governments in every UK legislature to work for the principle of the NHS and not sell it of to the likes of Richard Branson, who will run it much worse than it is now and if they find it is not making them a profit abandon it.
Though as Mikhail Gorbachev. once said
Gorbachev has 100 economic advisers. One is smart, but he doesn’t know which one.Still you can imagine a US President at least asking someone one is going on before he makes his ridiculous tweets
As the Washington Post reports
President Trump took a swing at Britain’s beloved National Health Service on Monday, tweeting that Britons were marching in the streets because their universal health-care system was financially strapped and dysfunctional, and got a swift rebuke from the British prime minister.“The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!” he wroteBut the thousands of Britons who took to the streets over the weekend were marching in support of the NHS and calling for greater government funding.Trump's tweet about Britain’s universal health-care system — once said to be the closest thing that the British have to a national religion — provoked ire from across the political spectrum, including from British Prime Minister Theresa May.
A spokesman for May said that
“the prime minister is proud of our NHS, that is free at the point of delivery.” The spokesman said that funding “is at a record high and was prioritized in the budget with an extra 2.8 billion pounds. In the recent Commonwealth Fund international survey, the NHS was rated the best in the world for a second time.”
Health
secretary Jeremy Hunt responded:
"I may disagree with claims made on that march but not ONE of them wants to live in a system where 28m people have no cover.
In some ways it resembles a family who may disagree amongst themselves but who unite when someone says "something about our Gladys"."NHS may have challenges but I’m proud to be from the country that invented universal coverage - where all get care no matter the size of their bank balance."Theresa May backed her health minister's comments, and a spokesperson said she is proud of the NHS.
