Britain is likely to get a good trade deal with the US and the reason is simple.
Trump hates the EU and would love to see it broken up. For this reason, the UK will get a good deal because a thriving UK next door to a moribund EU would be in America's interests. It will show other countries that they could probably do better out of the sclerotic protectionism of the EU; Italy next?
An economically badly-performing UK would not be in the US's interests.

It will be in the remoaners interests though as a good-performing UK post brexit will leave their cause in tatters.

I know what you're saying, what with Trump in bed with Putin. The demented orange **** has even took to discrediting his own intel and believing Putin.

Luckily, the rest of the sane world only has to put up with it for 4 more years, tops.

I'm not saying that Trump doesn't have a relationship with Putin, he clearly does. The USA however does not rely on Russia for 30% of it's oil and gas requirements, the EU does.
If as you say Trump is in bed with Putin, Angela Merkel is in between them with Vladimir slipping her one up the back passage.

Have a look at the graph.

U.S. tariffs, already higher than those of most advanced economies, would surge to levels higher than those of many emerging-market countries if the new tariffs are put in place, according to Deutsche Bank.

Who needs enemies when you have an ally like Trump.

European leaders have every right to be nervous around Trump. The UK is still smarting over the Skripal poisoning thing, so being suspicious and wary of Russian threats is nothing new. All that IS new is Trump and his cosy relationship with Putin. If the UK leaders are dumb enough to side with a lying dishonest megalomaniac orange ****, over Europe, then yes, we should be nervous about a threat from the Bear.

Thankfully Europe and their EU buddies are already aware of the cosy relationship between Russia and America, so I guess they will just have to wait it out with fingers crossed, till someone sane comes back into power in the US.

Brexit costs up from £1-4m to £30m so x10 increase.

Where are all you genius Brexiters now? Answers please.

The UK aerospace industry, which has a highly-regulated global supply chain, relies on membership of EASA to maintain common safety and certification standards that are also acceptable to the US safety agency, the Federal Aviation Administration.

The industry has estimated that it would take a decade and cost between £30m and £40m a year to create a UK safety authority with all the expertise of EASA, against a current contribution to the European agency of £1m to £4m annually.

While aircraft components are exempt from tariffs under World Trade Organisation rules, the aerospace industry has long argued that divergence from European regulations would add cost and complexity to UK manufacturing and jeopardise export success. In 2018, UK exported some £34bn in aerospace products.

A free trade deal between the UK and America could be a good thing.
If the UK puts tarrifs on American imports then America has the right to tarrif British exports to America.
The problem is Trump is using the threat of tarrifs to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
His threat to impose tarrifs on UK exports to America if the UK doesn't join him in his campaign against Iran is a sign of how he see's the future of UK/America relations.

And that is where that whole notion of getting those 'oh so easy' favourable deals idiocy falls flat on it's face...

The UK outside of the EU is no longer a power to be reckoned with...

So what?
Inside the eu we are no longer a power to be reckoned with and never will be.
Outside we have a chance. Despite what your daft crystal ball says.
Even with doomsters like you dragged kicking and screaming on board.
