TRUMP KIDS JOINING PRESIDENT, FIRST LADY FOR STATE VISIT WITH THE QUEEN

Source: KTIC Radio

Next month the Royal family will meet the Trump family.

President Donald Trump’s children and their spouses will join his state visit to the United Kingdom in June where they are expected to be greeted by the royal family, sources with knowledge of the trip told ABC News.

According to sources, one of the potential meetings on the trip will be between the Trump children — Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Tiiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and his wife Lara, and Prince William and his wife Kate. It is likely that the young royals will meet the young Trumps as part of the queen’s entertaining of the president during his official visit. However, the White House and Buckingham Palace are still discussing a final schedule.

“President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump accepted the invitation from Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to visit the United Kingdom from June 3 to 5, 2019,” the White House said in a statement. “This state visit will reaffirm the steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”

A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the news that Trump’s children will be joining him on the trip.

I suspect Will and Harry, their wives and kids may have some other obligations. They are the love of the UK right now. Who cares if Prince Charles and Camilla show up. He's not a factor.

The Queen will do her duty and be present.

They can use baby Archie as an excuse.

William and Kate can handle Trump and his idiot kids. They will be so kind and professional that the Trump clan will leave their presence thinking that the Cambridge’s just loved them.

But William will have that one-sided strained smile and Kate’s one eyebrow that goes up when she’s uncomfortable or annoyed will arch. Those who watch the BRF will know. And laugh.

I hope the Queen continues to look at him with good grace and barely contained royal disgust.

And I look forward to seeing plastic overdone Ivanka trying to outshine the sophisticated and natural Kate. While losing miserably.

Oh,.. excuse me,.. trDump drags his children along so they can execute professional and diplomatic networking connections.

The trDump clan hopes to mimic the British royal dynasty so that Ivanka, Jarred, Donnie Jr, Eric, and then their children can occupy the Oval Office after the King of Orange concludes his reign.

I thought it was funny at the time. It applies more to trump and his family now, and is not funny at all. They truly are trash with money and power.

The Clampetts were innocents. They did not wish to do harm to anyone.

the one Trump I feel sorry for. He always looks miserable. Not his fault he's the offspring of a soft porn mother and consummate asshole of a father. I would bet Trump hasn't said two fatherly words to him his entire life. Little lost soul.
