Barack Obama just got invited to the Royal Wedding, Donald Trump is losing It!

According to a source Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have invited President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama to their spring wedding and the British government and the Royal family is scared that President Trump might take it as an insult and it will affect the relationship between two nations.

Donald Trump has a long history of insulting the Royal family members including Princess Diana (Harry’s mother). Prince Harry and his elder brother have reportedly upset with Donald Trump over his derogatory remarks against their mother. According to various reports, Queen Elizabeth has no interest in inviting Donald Trump to her family.

British Newspaper the Sun has reported that the British government fears Prince Harry will incur Trump’s wrath with Obama wedding inviteBritish government fears Prince Harry will incur Trump’s wrath with Obama wedding invite.
Meghan made disparaging comments about him on social media during his election campaign last year.

There are deep fears among senior Foreign Office and No10 officials that another perceived national snub will make it impossible for Theresa May to meaningfully engage with Trump.

A senior government source said: “Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it’s causing a lot of nervousness.

“Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a Royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the Queen.

The Brits LOATHE tRump, inviting him could cause demonstrations. They LOVE the Obamas, they will be warmly welcomed. I do not think Donnie Dump will EVER visit, since he wants a friendlier welcome and he will NEVER get one. He has to be the main attraction everywhere too, and he would not be at the royal wedding. I hope princess Iwanka is not invited, either.

It’s THEIR wedding. And THEIR big day. And THEIR life event. They should have it THEIR way, dammit!

And frankly at this point, perhaps Theresa May shouldn’t bother worrying about whether she can work with trump or not. I don’t see how ANY world leader can consider “working with” him. He’s a congenital pathological LIAR. He is WILLFULLY ignorant, proud of it, and impulsive as all hell. Who in their right mind, with ANY even minimal grip on reality, COULD work with him? Who, other than Vladimir Putin, could work with him? Who could feel comfort trusting him, knowing what a liar he is and how impulsive and flighty he is, would feel comfortable making “deals” with him? There’s no way to trust him. No way!

Ms. May would be better off not bothering with him and doing whatever could be done without his involvement.

Just imagine it. There already have been petitions signed by, I think, a couple of million Brits, saying “don’t invite him over here” ANYWAY, even before there was another royal wedding in the works.

Can you imagine how Harry and Meghan’s big day would be ruined by that? People protesting, even marching in the streets against it, on what is supposed to be a very happy and personally significant, and THOROUGHLY non-political day for the still-beloved Diana’s baby boy? The very presence of trump would just ruin it all, and turn it into a spectacle of disruption and international disharmony. It would turn THEIR special day into yet another chaotic all-about-trump mess. And that is NOT how an event like this one is supposed to be!

No one knows who is being invited at this point. To put a fake headline up saying “Trump is losing it,” is just so much bs. If Trump were “losing it” over such a thing,, we would all know in a skinny minute because he would be tweeting. That site posted by the op is fake news, as others on this thread have pointed out.

I'm sure the British public is largely in agreement, as they've indicated many times. They have no desire to welcome him to their country. What's he going to do? (Oh, bad question when it comes to Trump. Who knows what he's capable of). The rest of the world needs to keep him a pariah, nonetheless. How far can the Republican Congress continue to go on supporting him? When he raved on about the rest of the world not respecting us, we should have known he thought bullying them would be the answer. The Congress who dealt with Nixon must be appalled or spinning in their graves over the Repug Congress today. Trump's presence would certainly ruin MY wedding. He'd probably turn an invitation down with some gross insult, anyway. Why give him the chance? I was never a "Diana Worshiper," but she was admirable. Her sons should never be expected to give the time of day to Trump. Inviting U.S. presidents to royal weddings was never the norm, anyway. Former President Obama is obviously a casual, but respected friend. He and Michelle should be invited on that basis alone.

When I checked the site out on these sites:

and put the URL into the search box, the result was that the owner's name is hidden.

Also, check out the header and footer. There is nothing saying who is in charge of the place, reporters' histories, or any info except the copyright character and The Washington Polity. Looking that website up gives you a website that looks the same (and has a story about Senator All [sic] Franken).

A legitimate website gives the viewer information about itself and who is responsible for content. The only time their stories are referenced is by other unreliable sites.

Let him. All that will do is underscore why he was not invited, and a man (and woman) of honor, integrity, and graciousness, were.

Trump - you will never be half the man Obama is, no matter how you try to tear him and his Presidency down. You are not fit to clean Obama's toilets. You will always be the thing you fear the most - a loser. And it drives you crazy that your money can't buy "class".

We know:

* Prince Harry and President Obama are friends
* Meghan Markle is either a very nice person or the best actor who ever lived, and I’m betting on the former.
* It is more than likely the prince and Ms. Markle want the Obamas at their wedding.
* Trump is lowlife scum who has viciously attacked Prince Harry’s mother on repeated occasions.
* Prince Harry could beat the living shit out of Donald Trump with one hand behind his back, and Trump would probably try starting a fight with him.
* There is absolutely no reason why Prince Harry or Meghan Markle would want that piece of shit at their wedding, and they won’t invite him.
* When the Happy Couple refuses to invite the scum of the earth to their wedding, he will probably retaliate against the UK government for not making them invite Trump, his illegal immigrant wife, and his disastrous children.

Would it be possible to convince McDonald’s to adulterate Trump’s orders by changing the Big Mac to “two all-beef patties, special sauce, cheese, pickles, onions and a whole stick of butter on a sesame seed bun”?
