Yes but he isn't the President of the US,.....so no I'm afraid not
As I understand US politics it's debatable whether the President actually has more or less power than the speaker in The House. It's not like the UK where 37% of the vote entitles you to do whatever you want for 5 years.
There's going to be a massive gravy train for lawyers, politicians and their ilk.
Meanwhile for unskilled Joe Bloggs and Dylan Jones, unemployment beckons as the size of the UK economy declines.
Nice one.
I do not know why you find it funny that the UK should trust people who have no democratic accountabilty to negotiate our trade deals for us. If anything this is another reason why we should leave the EU
Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

You need agreement from all three, so if the President isn't behind it, it ain't going to happen. It would need to be a cross party initiative.
In the same way if Congress said they didn't want a trade deal it would be dead in the water even if the President wanted it.

What he finds funny is that we are using unaccountable foreign negotiators to negotiate with the EU, which while we are in it is accountable to us through MEPs and the UK government (then again I know how it works having talked to insiders).

Does the U.K. Civil Service have democratic accountability?
What about the "Special Advisors" and the "Envoys"?
