Donald Trump has state visit to UK downgraded 'and will not be guest of the Queen'

[bathroommonkey76]

Source: Independent

Donald Trump’s planned state visit to the UK in 2018 has been downgraded to a “working visit”, likely forming part of a multi-country tour, it has been reported.

It means the billionaire will not be a guest of the Queen, as was previously envisaged.

Theresa May’s offer of a state visit to the first-term President was greeted with the threat of mass protests by opponents.

Mr Trump’s visit will now take place without the glitz and pomp of a full state visit, the Evening Standard reported.

[DURHAM D]

1. tu tu

[left-of-center2012]

2. Can't use the Queen's horse drawn carriage as he wanted

Now will he Tweet out insults to the Queen?

[DetlefK]

6. No. He will suck up to her, trying to prove that he's not the short-fingered vulgarian he is.

[Sanity Claws]

36. No he won't

He has no idea of how a person is supposed to act. He has no understanding of the model that he would have to use.

[mpcamb]

67. And he won't be around in 2018.

He's about to unravel.

[forgotmylogin]

44. NO MAGICAL HORSEY CARRIAGE RIDE FOR 45

[joeybee12]

3. Britain needs to schedule elections right after the visit

Right when the image of the worthless May and the worthless trumpenfuhrer are grinning like idiots together.

Not sure how that works but I'd love to see them do this. I think the worthless May has to be the one calling for elections

[leftofcool]

4. Prepare for tweets about how bad the QofE is

[CTyankee]

10. and her crown jewels are fake...

[George II]

14. Terrible, the worst. Not even close to Queen Elizabeth I. A fake queen. This has got to burn:

Or this:

[smirkymonkey]

54. Oh, that second photo must be eating him alive!

They both look happy and fantastic. I hope Trump sees this photo in his nightmares over and over again.

[tblue37]

78. AND the queen *hugged* Michelle! nt

[niyad]

57. I keep forgetting how petite HRM is

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Will he say that she isn't a 10 and that he didn't grab her by the ....?

[maddiemom]

32. C'mon, she's "not his style."

Actually, she looks way better than Trump, despite being older.

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. She looks great!

But you're correct, she's not under 25 so not worthy of his interest.

[George II]

56. I hope I look that good when I'm 91. Shit I just hope I can reach 91!

[maddiemom]

88. Agree.

Not to mention she could be Trump's mom.

[jmowreader]

74. Maddiemom, Keith Richards looks way better than Trump

[sarge43]

86. Snap!!

[maddiemom]

89. Compare Jerry Brown (California)

Nearly a decade older than Trump, and secure enough to let his hair go.

[Rollo]

66. And how Buckingham Palace is such a dump... nt

[obamanut2012]

5. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Her Majesty has dedicated her life to public duty AND is a war veteran, unlike Dolt .45.

[DetlefK]

11. Oh, that would be so rad: The Queen telling him about her time in the RAF.

IIRC she was a mechanic there. And how did Trump serve his country during war-time?

[barbtries]

16. by evading STDs

according to him.

[sarge43]

27. Army (ATS), not RAF

Driver. Military drivers are trained to do routine mechanical tasks.

She'd also have strategically placed photos in the room of her father, husband and son, all who actively served in a war zone.

She was trained to deal with buffoons and idiot PMs by mom, grandmother and Winston Churchill.

I can well imagine she told May (in a lady like way) that there was no way she'd be in the same room with that vulgarian. "You invited him; he's all yours. I'm too old for ..."

[not fooled]

72. Oh, to be a fly on the wall

when the Queen and Prince Phillip were discussing dolt's proposed visit. Neither suffers fools gladly.

[Myrddin]

77. Father, husband, son and...

...grandson (Harry).

[obamanut2012]

83. Amd, Harry was in Iraq

[maddiemom]

35. And were HIS kids expected to put their time in to national service?

I know, no POTUS' kids have been expected to do so, but most did, up through Vietnam.

[ATL Ebony]

55. Nursing the largest bone spur ever imagined.

[jmowreader]

75. You've seen those "Let me tell you about my grandchildren" bumper stickers

The Queen would LOVE to tell Two Scoops about her grandson Harry.

You know, THIS grandson Harry:

[sarge43]

85. My apologies to Prince Harry

Say what you will about the royals, they step up.

[Turbineguy]

7. Royals are raised based on service to the country.

But clearly, there's a limit on just how much shit you have to eat and Trump is well over that line.

[Loyd]

8. Not a Big Fan of Liz

But she certainly doesn't deserve exposure to Pumpkinhead.

[gordianot]

9. Darn Trump will have to hobnob with the peasants.

I seem to remember an American President not that long ago who got along and still has a good relationship with younger members of the British Royal family. I hope they stay away from Trump when he is in the UK.

[hlthe2b]

13. Yes. They should book the younger royals out of country during that time and let

the beleaguered Charles and Camilla deal with him, if anyone... Charles is accustomed to such buffoons (and perhaps it would be his final penance for Diana).

[gordianot]

17. Americans should do all they can to point out Obama got a State visit.

Trump easily gets his buttons punched and out of caution many opponents appear to me to use satire and comedy to poke him.

[bathroommonkey76]

24. I'm about to fire off some Obama state visit tweets.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[sarge43]

39. Be sure to mention that President Obama

is the only US president to speak to the British Parliament at Westminster Hall - an honor shared only by a pope, monarchs and heroes.

There is no time/space continuum where Moron could receive this honor and give that thoughtful speech.

[niyad]

58. and didn't POTUS refuse the carriage ride, etc., because it would put too much strain on

the security teams?

[sarge43]

63. Haven't heard that, but doesn't surprise me.

There's been a couple of news articles about how the agents respected the Obamas. They were kind, considerate and appreciative. In other words the Obamas.

[niyad]

90. exactly!!!!!

[tblue37]

79. And Michelle got a big from QE! nt

[brer cat]

60. I suspect Pete Souza

will be trolling him big time.

[Pachamama]

12. I predict that neither Theresa May nor Trump will be at that meeting....

Their replacements will either meet or no meeting at all and completely canceled....

Bookmark this one....

[Hekate]

61. If the gods smile on us...

[barbtries]

15. and now he'll probably pout and refuse to go at all.

and make nasty tweets at the queen and people of the UK

[maddiemom]

37. Maybe even threaten NUKES, as only choice of reponse?

[onetexan]

18. he'll get the royal treatment of protests

from the good people of England. I hope they come out in droves

[tblue37]

80. They actually plan to moon him when/if he comes. nt

[onetexan]

84. LOL they did that in Chicago earlier this year

http://abc7chicago.com/news/mass-mooning-planned-at-chicagos-trump-tower/1736784/

another mass mooning, this time in the UK

The British are notorious for their witty sarcasm. I can't wait to see pix of the crowd with their clever signs. I'm sure there will be some butt signs in full display like the event in Chicago

[Major Nikon]

19. We will not suffer that fucking moron!

[edbermac]

20. Awww too bad!

He was SO looking forward to try and pussy-grab Kate.

[Gothmog]

21. No carriage ride for trump

[keithbvadu2]

23. It won't need disinfecting afterwards.

[Gothmog]

50. You are not kidding

[3catwoman3]

22. Harry already took one for the team when...

...he had to stand next to Melania. That should be enough.

[Princess Turandot]

26. I have this vision of him saying something to William +/or Harry about their late mother...

...like, how her untimely death was a shame because he didn't get a chance to 'date' her, which he would had done, even though she was, in his discerning opinion, 'crazy' (as he told Howard Stern a month or so after Diana died). Or suggesting that his spawn can tell them where to murder the best defenseless animals in Africa, (which they probably know about, given that they both are involved in wildlife conservation efforts).

Or 'schooling' Prince Charles on climate change: 'Believe me. It's fake news, Chuck. You ever hear of that: fake news? I discovered it.'

What could possibly go wrong?

[maddiemom]

38. Oh, please....

this would be FUNNY, if it were anyone else. With Trump...?

[sarge43]

64. "What could possibly go wrong?"

Harry going Game of Thrones on Dolt's ass? William holding his coat?

[Demtexan]

71. You know he would say something to William and Harry about their Mother.

I would hope Harry would pop the old fool in the mouth.

Maybe William has to hold back but Harry does not.

[a kennedy]

28. Love this news.....

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. More like a visit from the neighbour you can 't stand.

He's an asshole, but there are other people around...and he brought beer. Guess you have to let him in.

[lark]

30. Britain slaps back at orange assface.

They couldn't stop him from coming, but could make it where he gets no personal glory and glitz, doesn't ride in the royal carriage for even a minute, makes no speeches at Parliament, is shoved into dark rooms and ignored. Wish I could talk them into what he truly deserves, a public spanking and shaming.

[madokie]

31. tared and feathered

would be my wish

[lark]

46. I would be OK with that as well.

As long as he, and his children, could not step back into the WH afterwards.

[madokie]

53. the tRump brand is history

they'll not be able to recover from this mistake

too many people know what kind of people they are, whether they admit it to themselves or not they know. That 'knowing' is a stopper for the tRump brand

[Solly Mack]

34. Good, but I'd still love to be a fly on the wall while Prince Philip addressed Trump.

He's 96 now but I'd wager his tongue is still sharp.

Prince Philip and the bloated, bloviating upstart. LMAO just thinking about it.

Trump would want Ivanka with him because he thinks she gives him a measure of class.

I'm certain the Prince would disabuse that notion in short order. The hilarious part would be in knowing that neither the father nor the daughter possess the self-awareness to know they would be the Prince's entertainment.

The Trumps would brag about the warm reception all the while feeling just a tad bit uncertain. Each word out of Prince Philip's mouth met with a moment of hesitation, promptly followed by a nod and a smile (because the Prince is delightful and clever and how smart they are to be in on the fun).

All the while merriment and mirth dances across the face of the Prince. His eyes twinkle. He enjoys his prey to the fullest.

The Queen would be polite, but the kind of polite that isn't polite at all. Mere formality, not even civil, really - habit. Where your visitor is nothing more than duty - an unpleasant one at that - but demands of office must be carried out. You speak as little as possible, but always mindful to say the right things. Bored perfunctory.


Yes, I know Prince Philip is known for being an ass - but I'd still enjoy his being an ass to the Trumps.

[sarge43]

41. Yup. There isn't enough popcorn in the world to cover that show. n/t

[Hortensis]

91. Can't be sure they wouldn't find common ground bashing immigrants and POC.

If the prince's wife weren't there to keep him in line, of course.

The whole thing is a disgrace to our nation, but I'm glad she is setting a very needed standard even if it currently above our reach. And it also means she won't be subjected to trump, so good for that.

[Glorfindel]

40. I'm very glad to hear it. Her Majesty doesn't deserve to have this monster inflicted on her.

Rule Britannia!

[Doreen]

42. Good, they won't scare the horses now.

I was worried about the horses because animals sense evil and tend to get freaked out when near it.

[Grins]

43. Another win!!!!

So much "winning"....

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. Remember what W's people did to the Queen's gardens?

King Dolt's kids would do far worse and she knows it. Plus, she doesn't have a Moron-to-English translator on staff.

This is fantastic news. Get out the popcorn, 'cause he's gonna hit the roof over this one.

[lark]

48. Hopefully he cancels when he learns no golden carriage ride.

He'd be doing the British and American taxpayers a big solid, which means he probably won't.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

51. I hope they limit him to the airport property.

We don't need any more international embarrassments by this tower trash.

[Raster]

49. ...she doesn't have a Moron-to-English translator on staff.

[Enoki33]

47. Wouldnt be surprised if the Brit press have a heyday with dotard.

[Vinca]

52. Maybe if he hadn't blabbed about wanting to nail Princess Diana . . .

[Hekate]

59. The Brits have centuries of protocol to work w/. No way was he getting a golden carriage ride w/ HRH

No way in hell.

[LiberalLovinLug]

62. ...

[Rollo]

65. Queen Elizabeth is no doubt relieved she won't have to wear a chastity belt...

LOL...

[Hugin]

68. Well, that's going to leave a mark. n/t

[LeftishBrit]

69. Good!

We would have been lining the streets to tell him to go home.

Though in the UK 'being a guest of Her Majesty' is a common euphemism for being in prison: that might be more suitable for him!

[Kaleva]

70. Minister of Silly Walks to officially greet Trump upon arrival

[Rhiannon12866]

76. LOL! Sounds about right...

[dflprincess]

73. A Royal Snub?

How long before he starts threatening war with the U.K.?

[Mike Nelson]

81. Ha Ha...

...I'd like to downgrade our odd fixation with British Royalty, but love this because it's going to bother Trump; he loves that kind of stuff.

[raven mad]

82. We should have a LOL thingy to like a post...............

because

[samnsara]

87. there goes his carriage ride.....
