brought it up, book saysFormer President Donald Trump was obsessed with making a state visit to the UK early on in his presidency and repeatedly brought it up to British officials. But every time he did, they would change the subject or pretend they didn't understand him.
That's according to a new book by Fiona Hill, who served as senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council under Trump.
In "There Is Nothing For You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century," Hill wrote that Trump became fixated on making a state visit after then-British Prime Minister Theresa May visited the White House in January 2017 and "immediately invited" him to the UK.
But British officials kept putting the visit off for the next year or so by "never formally extending the invitation" and "coming up with various excuses about timing," Hill's memoir said.

At the very root of it, Trumpy thinks he DESERVES to be President.
He d e s e r v e s. it. He thinks the presidency is his because it SHOULD be, for fucks sake.
Ive said this before, and Ill say it again;
It will be decades before our country will recover from what this man has wrought.
