You’ve probably heard that Theresa May is the first foreign leader to meet with President Donald Trump – and they’ve just held their first joint press conference together.
But it wasn’t reaaaally that interesting…
Not much news so far in the Trump-May conference. He sticks with position on Mexico, Brexit.

May's comment on Trump's commitment to NATO was its most interesting moment but, featuring just four questions, it was rather underwhelming.

It was full of awkwardness that people watching along at home picked up on straight away.
Here’s our pick of the best/worst, depending on your viewpoint:
When Donald Trump said that Theresa May’s comments were “very nicely stated”.
Trump says May's comments were "very nicely stated". Bit patronising.

UK PM Theresa May finishes speaking. Trump condescends: "Nicely stated."

Trump just patronised May "very nicely stated". What a jerk. He can barely string a coherent sentence togeher #maytrump

When Trump joked that the *special relationship* was no more after May picked BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg to ask a tricky question.

Trump gets a very hard question from BBC and 'jokingly' blames May and says 'there goes the relationship'
oh boy. "ha ha ha"

Trump May conference: holy hilarity!!!
"That's your question? That's the end of that relationship" I don't think he's joking kids ??????— Lucy Coniglio (@lucy_coniglio) January 27, 2017
When they stood really far apart.

When they looked like they were on a bad date.
Trump/May press conference is like when 'First Dates' interview the couple after the date
— Emily Au (@EmilyAu1) January 27, 2017
This footage of the Trump and May press conference is brilliant! Haha! It's like a super uncomfortable blind date #AWKWARD #itvnews #cringe
— Bea Keys (@downfrom_london) January 27, 2017
Awkwardness between Trump and May, like they have been forced together on a blind date. #maytrump

When everyone wished the whole thing had played out like everyone’s favourite Christmas film.
Every time May or Trump said "special relationship", all I could think of was @HackedOffHugh Hugh Grant in Love Actually pic.twitter.com/AQPHQK45RU
— Kristen DelPriore (@kmdelpriore) January 27, 2017
The Love Actually press conference was much better than the Trump/May commercial.
— Laurie Crosswell ?? (@lauriecrosswell) January 27, 2017
@pdmcleod Hugh Grant did a better job in Love Actually with fictional Trump than May w the real one

We can only dream.
