King Charles 'Very Concerned' Trump Will Rant About Immigration During State Visit

https://www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles-very-concerned-donald-trump-will-rant-about-immigration-during-state-visit/


King Charles worried Trump will stoke migration fears

King Charles III is “very concerned” that President Donald Trump could launch into an unfiltered rant about immigration while standing alongside him during his state visit to the United Kingdom in September.

A civil servant also told the Daily Beast that there was a risk Trump could upend protocol and make politicized comments when delivering a traditional speech at his state banquet.

Trump claimed a “horrible invasion” of migrants was “killing Europe” while visiting Scotland on Friday, a friend of the monarch told the Daily Beast.

The palace was already anxious about Trump’s visit because of his trolling of Canada—a British “realm” which counts the king as head of state—as the “51st state.”

But those concerns pale in comparison to the prospect of Trump using the official visit with the king as a platform to make further inflammatory remarks about immigration in the U.K.

Simple solution: prohibit Trump from coming to the UK.

This is a big part of the problem: treating Trump like a legitimate leader and head of state – he’s not; Trump is a racist and bigot, a fascist thug, and a criminal and convicted felon, perfectly legitimate reasons to refuse meeting with Trump.

The international community needs to render Trump a pariah.

No need for any drama. Just walk off the podium and leave him standing there by himself with his cloaca hanging out. Protocol is well and good, but no one would expect you to stand there and absorb insults to you and your country. Walk away and let the British press handle the aftermath.

Or, as a second option, you could simply walk up behind him and cold-cock the bastard. I'm okay with either option.

Charles tried to talk Starmer into canceling it, partly because of Trump's idiocy regarding Canada, but he refused.

Just let him rant to a bored-looking audience for a while, answer some random questions without saying anything, and herd him to his next stop. He won't even notice the cameras aren't on.

Audiences can be daywork for those otherwise unemployed.

Don't we deny entry to individuals who slander our country. I mean, it's enough to be the wrong religion and have an opinion. It's enough to deny entry to people who show empathy with downtrodden victims of war crimes. It's enough to be denied entry if you know the truth, and speak it.
Isn't it?
So, slam the door on him once he gets out of his lane.
It's not as though there is Freedom Of Speech anymore, is it?
Whose fault IS that, anyway?

The "reporters" are all actors, and none of the mics or cameras are live. When Trump finds out it was never broadcast they can just apologize about a technical problem.
