The MiL came up with a Trump win and us leaving the EU so that got me thinking about after leaving negotiations.

Free trade agreements tend to be long-term projects conducted by a government's civil service. The minister who happens to be in charge may have some input but the colour of the government of the day doesn't normally make a whole lot of difference, except where that government is from one extreme or the other. And no, for all his nasty rhetoric, I don't think Trump is quite bad enough to be called an extremist.
The government of the United States makes precisely no difference at all to my views on Brexit.
