Ahead of Prime Minister Theresa May's presser with President Donald Trump on Friday -- the first for Trump with a foreign head of government -- that capacity for near-miss communication was fully on display. For May, the most critical audience was always going to be the British public, with whom Trump is wildly unpopular . But that is not the only pressure point for the British Prime Minister in Washington. She made some headway, at least judging from some careful parsing of President Trump's noncommittal language. Obama may not have been Britain's favorite president, but his approval ratings far outstrip those of Trump.
