Trump Children Crashed Royal Banquet

This is so very sad but not surprising https://politicalwire.com/2019/06/04/trump-children-crashed-royal-banquet/

Queen Elizabeth II formally invited just President Trump and first lady Melania Trump to travel to London for an official State Banquet at Buckingham Palace. But the event became more of an extended family affair, with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and his wife Lara, and Tiffany Trump all joining the exclusive party.”

“The President’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, was already set to attend in her capacity as a formal adviser to the President, and a senior member of his administration.”

newspaper The Sun, Trump said he wanted Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany to hold a "next generation" meeting with the Prince William and his wife, Kate, and Prince Harry. "I think my children will be meeting them," said Trump. "It would be nice. -- CNN"

It was apparently understood that Javanka would be coming -- as part of his staff, but not the others.

Notably, in spite of his ambitions the palace did not allow anyone but him and Melania at the initial ceremonies.

Reminds me of when Trump just walked in and took a chair on the stage at a charity awards banquet. He wasn't a donor or honoree, but he wanted to look like it. The charity could have used a Royal Chamberlain to keep order.

To make it look like they are american royalties mingling with British royals. More like the hillbillies trying to fit in with polite society. And what is ivanka wearing on her head? Thats not even a fascener. Looks ridiculous girl, trying a little too hard there.

Trump and Ivana, his first wife, used to show up, uninvited, to all kinds of events as if they had been invited or were doners. They made sure they were photographed for the high society shots used in the newspapers and then they made sure to leave before they had to donate anything.

Why would that family change now?

Party crashers. Trumps have no manners at all. Their crude a**holes. I think Teresa May should have thought twice before she extended the invite right after the election. Didn't she know what she dealing with, guess not. Trump family is nothing but trash.

I do however wish that Queen Elizabeth would have taken her subjects wishes into consideration and not have them for a state visit. After all, they are ones that keep her in that position.

No matter how much money they have, they will never be accepted into polite society. They will always be inferior, desperate social climbers.
