YOU may recall that the outgoing US President threatened to send is to the back of the trade queue if voted for Brexit.
Well, we did, and I’m glad to report that the opposite is true.
And the bearer of this good news is Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson no less, who has just returned from a brief visit to the US.
He tells us that Mr Trump’s new administration has promised a free trade deal, and fast.
Mr Johnson says this demonstrates “a huge fund of goodwill,” with senior US senator Bob Corker saying: “There’s no way the UK is going to take a back seat.”
Whether Mr Trump is to your taste or not, he is undoubtedly an Anglophile, unlike his predecessor who made his preference for Brussels clear.
This is very good news because, where America leads, others will follow.
Australia, Canada, China and South Korea are among the nations already scrambling to make deals with us, and for the first time in years, the outlook for Britain on the world stage is hugely optimistic.
We topped the list of western economies last week, our exports are up and our jobless totals down, in contrast to the rest of the EU.
Other nations like what the UK stands for.
Our stable institutions, traditions and rule of law all make it a good place to invest and prosper.
The continuing rumble of dire predictions from those still wishing to remain in the EU are a regrettable legacy from being in a centralised state reliant on hand-outs.
Patronisingly, they suggest that those who voted out had no idea what they were doing.
Well, they did and, with every day that passes, their wisdom becomes harder to refute.
