British paper reporting there will be NO golden carriage ride for Trump in London next month

[highplainsdem]

This is from the tabloid The Sun, some details buried well down in the article:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9151413/meghan-markle-dodge-donald-trump-us-state-visit/

Also, it emerged that the Queen’s official welcome for Mr Trump will be held behind closed doors.

The president had wanted a carriage procession along the Mall after a ceremonial welcome on Horse Guards Parade in Central London.

But the US Secret Service vetoed the idea because of security concerns.

Instead, Mr Trump and wife Melania will be officially welcomed in The Queen’s back garden at Buckingham Palace.

Afterwards, there will be a private lunch for Mr Trump, who is also bringing four of his five children.

1. Hopefully there will be golden

showers

[cwydro]

4. Yeah, maybe she'll let the Corgis join them lol.

A lifted leg or two would be a fitting salute to dear leader.

[malaise]

7. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Howling with laughter ;hi:

[StarfishSaver]

8. He might actually like that ...

[malaise]

10. He'd kick the dogs - he hates pets

one of the surest signs that he's a vile piece of shit

[cwydro]

17. Corgis can bite.

I bet the Queen will let them too.

[malaise]

20. One of my nephews has one

And yes he can bite

[cwydro]

22. Ah, we can dream!

At any rate, I’d love to be a fly in that back garden that day.

[kimbutgar]

28. Th back yard is gorgeous too bad fat Donnie's presence will desecrate it

Took a tour of the palace in 2015. And there is a hall where they are probably going to have the dinner. On the tour they have pictures of President Obama and Michelle from a dinner . Fat Donnie will be seeing that picture going in that banquet hall !

[Hortensis]

56. :) Hope so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Unfortunately the Queen's corgis are no longer with us.

Her final corgi, Whisper, died in April of 2018. But she still has two dorgis, Vulcan and Candy, who are corgi x dachshunds. Corgis can be bitey; I don't know about dorgis.

[StarfishSaver]

44. The Duchess of Sussex has a rescue beagle, Guy

Here he is living his best life, hitching a ride with the Queen to Windsor Palace a few days before his mom's wedding ...


Maybe Guy can be pressed in the service, if necessary. I think he'd be glad to help.

[Backseat Driver]

51. Dashunds are trained to be ratters

so, yes, they are fast and they bite. There are actual rat trials for this breed, like agility, LOL

[winetourdriver01]

26. Oh man

I wish to God he would kick one of her dogs, I can just see Prince Phillip holding her back as She tries to get at him!!

[NastyRiffraff]

41. Why would he hold her back?

Let her rip!

[Doreen]

54. I was thinking about letting the little corgis show him

how much they like him also.

[meow2u3]

23. Caught on tape...

originating from Moscow?

[malaise]

25. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

DU is a riot

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. I'm sure there are many who will volunteer to give him one

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Too bad about the carriage ride.

But London taxis are large and comfortable, and I'm sure the Queen's back garden is very nice.

[hatrack]

12. President Veruca Salt will NOT be pleased!

[forgotmylogin]

30. They'd have to ban produce sales all along the route.

[Achilleaze]

3. He* will whine about this day and night

* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[StarfishSaver]

5. Oh, please, please, please let the Duchess of Sussex be there so Ivanka has to curtsy to her!

Not only would she have to show deference to a REAL princess, but a BLACK one, at that.

I know Meghan probably doesn't want to be anywhere near those people, but maybe she could just pop in at the beginning of the meeting, take her curtsy from the pleather princess, and then go on about her business.

[muriel_volestrangler]

42. She's staying away - lucky/wise woman

[smirkymonkey]

6. I can't believe that vulgar, trash family has the nerve to think they are

deserving of a meeting with the Queen. Who do they think they are? They must know they are hated in England by most of the population and certainly looked down upon by the royal family. Do they think that we will all be impressed?

[malaise]

9. This is about his mommy issues

He is showing his dead mother that he can mingle with royalty -fuck him and the royals.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Ha-ha! A backdoor reception.

Trump should be comfortable with that greeting.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. Lizzie should invite her son, Andrew so he and Trump can reminisce about the Lolita Express!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. The back garden reception will be lovely.

[EarnestPutz]

33. Laughed out loud at that one.

There are eight chairs that do match, so it will be a formal affair.

[highplainsdem]

48. LOL!

[Shrek]

15. I wonder which Trump kid is getting left out

Guessing it's either Barron or Tiffany.

[catrose]

34. I wouldn't object to Barron

But why are we paying for four grownup kids to go anywhere? I know, we have to send security with them no matter what.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Trump would probably sit there with a pen knife and shave off the gold leaf to take home.

.

Or he would carve "Trump Wuz Here!" in it.

.

[lpbk2713]

21. If Trump wants gold he can stay home in his bath room.

.....

[Irishxs]

24. Sounds like QE says, "How can we do this without really doing it?"

[YOHABLO]

27. I'll bet the Queen and the Royal Family are dreading his visit. Be glad when he leaves.

[BarbaRosa]

29. Private lunch,

6 orders from the local fish and chips shop would be appropriate.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. The British equivalent of soggy hamberders from McDonalds.

[mcar]

32. No Tiffany?

[hlthe2b]

36. I'd bet he's too fat for it. They probably cajoled him by telling him how uncomfortable it is and

apparently that is true (seem to remember Princess Diana saying as much).

[CentralMass]

37. I hope that the tRump baby blimp is visible.during the drive to the palace.

[TeamPooka]

39. Daddy doesn't love you Tiffany. nt

[hunter]

40. They're sneaking them in the back door like Mar-a-Lago massage girls.

But there will be no happy endings.

[Cousin Dupree]

43. But they've arranged for him to have a golden shower, which is what he really likes

[moondust]

45. Likely to piss him off.

By now everyone on Earth knows he wants to be treated like a king. That golden carriage ride was probably what he wanted most of all.

Maybe he'll have a lame excuse. "It had a flat tire."

[The River]

46. Doesn't Matter Which Vehicle

he rides in, it automatically becomes a Clown Car.

[Mc Mike]

47. No carriage ride. Everybody hates me.

He's getting an incredible feeling of deja vu.

[Cha]

49. Why are they even having that

asshole over there again?

[keithbvadu2]

50. The Queen served more military time than the entire Trump family combined.

The Queen served more military time than the entire Trump family combined.

[rockfordfile]

52. I could care less about the Queen of England.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. If you *could* care less about the Queen, that suggests that you actually might care more

about her than some others (Trump, maybe?). But if you don’t care even slightly about the Queen, why did you bother to post in this thread?

[Doreen]

55. I have an idea that would piss him off to no end.

Let the royal family dogs ride in the carriage. Just parade them doggies in the gold carriage right past him.

[Hortensis]

57. "Security" his orange ass. They won't dishonor their traditions.

Behind closed doors and private -- the plain brown wrapper version of a state visit, and so fitting.

[SoCalDem]

58. No doubt, Tiffany was spared the horror of traveling with them
