He also claimed that accusing Mr Trump of misogyny was ‘overstating it’.
Sir Edward has aired his support of Mr Trump’s s proposed visit to the UK in an interview with the Rasen Mail.
Speaking at his visit to East Barkwith Post Office last Friday, Sir Edward said: “If we’ve had the President of China, head of a dictatorship, speaking to Parliament, why shouldn’t we have the leader of the free world?”
