Until you notice the deal is vastly in favor of the US because the UK doesn't have enough money to balance it.

Using basic logic and a fairly cynical view of the world, I can do it easely.

I can also see Trump thanking you for doing your part in making the US great again while he fuck your country to bankrupcy.

Trade deals are about access to markets. They aren't about who has the most money.

And the UK market is fairly small, at US' scale, so you'll have to have some incentives for them to even bother.

That's about why the EU was formed originally : to create a market big enough to negociate from a position of strength.
