That's you though. Past Presidents and Prime Ministers have spoken of our 'special relationship'... I believe even Trump echoed similar sentiments.
I believe you are correct re: Trump.

Trump's mother is British which is why he has such a soft spot for my country. When Obama said we'd be at the back of the queue re Brexit, Trump said we'd be at the front.

He was very nice to begin with and did gratiate us with compliments, however he has become rather cross with many of our politicans over the last couple of years.
Winston Churchill's mother was also an American, IIRC.
Obama was very soft on the EU. They could ask or do what they wanted to
and he'd go along with it. "Take on a bigger burden re: pollution so that other countries like China can skate a while longer? Sure thing!" It will be interesting to see how our relationship with Britain goes with Biden
(or Harris) at the helm. I fear that you all might be back at the back of the queue again.
here's how trump works.
he makes friends from enemies.
he invites them over and they have a great weekend together. this is what everyone says about him. he makes friends with them. when they are friends they are less likely to make shitty comments and do shitty things.
it's a great tactic regardless of his motives.
I would agree however our Conservative politicans were glad Biden won the election. Brexit is a total farce, I am not even convinced it'll happen anymor
as there's next to no political will to get it over the line. The politicians we have appear to be pro-EU and the only reason they're carrying out any discussion is due to the will of the people as per the '16 referendum. I think
Johnson has more in common with Biden than Trump. All of a sudden he's talking
about his Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution which is identical to The Green New Deal proposed by Biden and his cohorts. He used to talk like Trump in regards to rebuilding a manufacturing base but it is now all about climate change and sustainable development.
