US President Donald Trump's planned visit to Britain in January has reportedly been postponed as the leaders on both sides of the pond find themselves in an escalation of words.

Trump was set to go to the UK for a "working visit" in the New Year to formally open the new US Embassy in London. It was set to be a scaled down version of a state visit with no meeting with the Queen to allow Trump to come to the UK without the potential for mass protests.

Oh! What a shame for us Brits....not

[get the red out]

1. He betrayed them

He literally pushed unrest in the country that is our closest ally and supported a fringe hate group responsible for the murder of a British lawmaker. That is part of the Putin playbook for destabilizing democracies.

[democrank]

2. Donald Trump's recklessness is astounding

as are the anti-American enablers assisting him.

[watoos]

12. Was it recklessness?

..or was it an order from Putin?

[FarPoint]

14. WELL, we recognize Putin is most satisfied...

If we working class can figure it out....tRump definitely knew he would cause damage for US will England.

[Iggo]

15. If he was ordered to be reckless, then yes.

[T_i_B]

18. He could just be a genuinely bigoted fuckwit

Much like everyone else who retweets and shares owt from "Britain" First.

[yurbud]

23. I don't think he has the capacity to follow orders

not because he is independent, but because he is an idiot.

[BigmanPigman]

3. I watched the British officials in Parliament

let him have it. It was magnificent. It made me wish that our Congress would do the same. Our country can barely say the word "liar" when they report on his blatant lies and on camera none the less.!

[Scarsdale]

10. US politicians are ruled by money.

That is the reason they run for office. Forget doing the will of the people. It is "Screw you, I will get mine" That is how they all retire as millionaires. They stay in office too long, even after their coffers are overflowing. Look at McCain and the other old pharts.

[yurbud]

24. and they don't call each other liars because they hope to tap their donors

who may have been the one who ordered them to lie.

[T_i_B]

17. The best thing our MP's could do...

...would be to vote to withdraw the offer of a state visit. However, that might be difficult with the British government being so weak and diplomatically isolated at present.

[BlueIdaho]

20. Banning Trump could improve Britains Status World Wide...

The world is looking for a leader since Trump punted the job, so why not the U.K.? You’ve done it before...

[T_i_B]

21. Because we are committing economic suicide....

....by choosing to leave the EU based on a horrifically dishonest referendum campaign.

4. Putin is loving all this.

Like the 9/11 plotters, he can't believe how successful his US attack was. Look at all the benefits Putin is reaping from his cyber attack on the US to help Trump. The US is fighting with its closest allies; the US has abdicated its leadership to promote democracy and human rights around the world; and US citizens are more divided than we have been in over 60 years. To Putin, Trump is the gift that keeps on giving.

5. no, Trump is NOT the US. the Brits HELP the US when they speak out against Trump

ALL the world leaders, officials and anyone else who loves the US should speak out against Trump.

[SunSeeker]

7. When anyone speaks out against Trump, they help the whole world.

Yes, Trump is not the US, everyone understands that. But Trump holds the reigns of power right now, and represents the US on the world stage. Putin is ecstatic about that because Trump has strained ties with our allies and legitimized human rights abuses.

6. Our biggest ally is now turning on this WH. His year has been the

worst start to an administration ever. Well, there is always Russia for this WH.

[rusty quoin]

8. Always, when Dump said something it was the opposite.

When he said, “make America great again,” he did the opposite. We have fewer allies in just a year.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Trump was counting on that visit to secure a wedding invitation

not himself, but for Ivanka.

[Scarsdale]

11. Princess Ivanka

only goes to countries where she can recruit slave labor for her rip-off clothing and shoe lines. Bird legs Ivanka will dump her kids on the nannies at the drop of a hat.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Hey Britain!!!!

BUILD A WALL - and make Trump pay for it!!!!!

(you'll be better off for it - trust me!)

[Iggo]

16. One fucking year.

One fucking year.

He fucked it all up in one fucking year.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Not even a year. I never imagined he could do so much damage in such a

short period of time. He's a fucking disaster!

[Sunlei]

22. trump should be on the no-fly list for promoting a terrorist group
