Standing alone doesn't mean cutting all ties with your allies(including the countries of the EU).Trade has to be done and deals have to be done.
The EU is also going to have to work with Trump aswell.All countries who want to trade with the US are.We may not like him but he does look much more favourably on the UK than Obama did.If he's offering us a good deal and telling us that we're at the front of the queue we would be fools not to take advantage of the situation.
I'm sure Theresa May isn't fond of him either but she seems to be acting professionally and getting on with the job.She's been to other countries aswell as America.It's only going to put us in a stronger position during Brexit negotiations.
We don't have to be Trumps bitch to do a trade deal with the US.Theresa seems like a strong leader so far and i can't see her getting pushed around by Trump or getting dragged into anything she doesn't think is in our best interests.
