The President of the United States has demanded that he ride in the Royal Carriage

[malaise]

in London

Need any more proof that he's a fugging lunatic?

[JHan]

1. He's just asking for Brits to mock him even more,,,

You'd think he'd learn a lesson from his experience with the scots but no,,

[malaise]

3. Well he can't expect flood rainsi

in October

[applegrove]

2. I think the Secret Service may have something to say about that.

[malaise]

4. The weather folks

[Sculpin Beauregard]

5. The Royals should make sure

To lay plastic as Agent Orange will probably try to piss on the upholstery.

They should have it checked for bed bugs and C. difficile as well. And electronic bugs.

[Chemisse]

6. They should just say no. Period.

Maybe he will cancel his trip over it. Win-win.

[world wide wally]

7. How about if he drives (pretends) an 18 wheeler?

[malaise]

8. You'd better say pretends

because word is he can't drive

[rickford66]

25. or a bulldozer

[Warpy]

9. He's also SOL

Not only is it reserved for the royal family for special things like coronations, jubilees, and weddings, it's also partially disassembled for storage, as I understand.

I can't imagine HRH will allow that bloated fraud a ride in it, not even a ride along.

He's just going to have to make do with the back seat of a Rolls Royce. Maybe they can find a gilt one, I think they made one for a movie, or spray paint one with Rustoleum Gold.

[malaise]

11. I think you're correct

This should be fun

[Warpy]

20. Like other posters, I hope he goes into a snit and cancels

and I think they're hoping the same thing in the UK, security for that fat asshole is going to be a real nightmare, worse even than Stupid's security trampling Her Majesty's roses.

I still think they should contact the French and rent a tumbril from one of the museums. That would cement relations between the sane parts of both countries forever.

It wouldn't even need the guillotine at the end of the trip.

[Flaleftist]

10. Less secure, thousands of protestors

I'm okay with that.

[Turbineguy]

12. Great idea!

Afterwards he can send out a tweet bragging how he stiffed the Coach Driver.

He's got about as much class as a sneaker full of shit.

[3catwoman3]

17. "He's got about as much class as a sneaker full of shit."

I just snorted out loud. That is perfect, and I am sure I will find occasions to make use of it, if I may?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I understood from the London Times article

that the ride is an honor offered to heads of state, most of whom decline because of the security concerns and the massive inconvenience. Trump doesn't care about those things, though; he'll insist on the ride in the gilded coach because he likes anything that has gold on it (like his toilet). Inconveniencing and causing great expense for others does not concern him.

[malaise]

14. He does love a circus

The good news - October in London is usually a washout

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Yes, he loves a circus - but he hasn't figured out that he's the clown.

[malaise]

16. A short-fingered vulgarian

clown

[lapucelle]

30. Ooh...I remember that.

You can still read Spy Magazine online. Here are some issues that focused on Trump.

35. Thanks

[Boomerproud]

32. I hear that Prince Harry is "not a fan".

45 may not even get to London if he doesn't stop the saber rattling and bombing.

[Brother Buzz]

18. Somebody's gotta go back and get a shit-load of dimes!

[malaise]

23. You folks are cracking me up

[Me.]

19. A Tone Deaf Mistake On His Part

if you ask me

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. I hope that the Queen is not amused.

Seriously, if he had any class he'd wait to be be asked and not demand.

[malaise]

22. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

and I an as anti-monarchy as they come

[NastyRiffraff]

29. Who the hell is he to demand anything

from the head of a sovereign nation? He is on a mission to embarrass our entire country.

[nini]

24. Security issues?

Well.............

[smirkymonkey]

26. They aren't going to actually let that orange turd

in the Royal Carriage are they? If so, the entire ritual has become meaningless. How dare they let that piece of scum defile their traditions!

[malaise]

27. I'm predicting more rain than the inauguration

Irma, Jose or Katia???

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

44. They'll have to fumigate it once he's gone

Unfortunately, we don't have that option with the White House -- yet!

[lpbk2713]

28. Give him a jackass to ride on.

Seems like that would be appropriate.

[malaise]

33. Wouldn't that make two

jackasses - he could cause this.

[tblue37]

43. He would believe that meant he was the messiah! nt

[vlyons]

31. Even if he did get to ride in it,

he'd still leave Melania to get out by herself, and he'd walk away without looking out for her. Ignorant self-centered fool

[Pachamama]

34. I thought this was a joke....

...did he really demand that he ride in the Queens Carriage?

[NYETNYET]

36. I thought it was a joke.

Really? When I first saw it I thought it was an Onion story. Can we start a petition to stop him from going? Just because he squeaked out a minor electoral win does not mean that anyone elected him to embarrass the entire country in front of the whole world. Remember back in the good old days when the world respected us. When the opinion of the president was something sought by leaders and governments. We were an example to the world. How many remember that time in our history. Oh, that's right... that was three months ago. Oh gawd.
Maybe come October he will no longer be president. We can dream.
I have a suggestion for the unlucky souls of Great Britain that are having this pathetic display forced on them. Any noise from the crowd will be taken as worship of his greatness. Instead go quiet. Dead quiet. As he goes by turn your backs on him. Eliminate any joy he could receive from that stunt. I haven't heard if Her majesty will be forced to ride along. She would understand and not take it as any kind of slight.

[duncang]

37. My Scottish son in law is not thrilled

That they are even letting him the country.

[malaise]

38. Paarticularly interesting since his mother

was Scottish

[duncang]

39. You should hear what the in-laws say about him

The closest to a compliment was he's a idiot. The rest I'd rather not repeat.

[malaise]

40. People hate him

He's an awful human being

[global1]

41. Reverse Cinderella - When He Gets In It....

it will turn into a really orange pumpkin.

[malaise]

42. OK You win the thread

[tavernier]

45. I'm certain there is a weight restriction

that would prohibit him from entering the carriage. Well not presently, but there will be.
