In reply to the discussion: British Royal Family to Play a Big Role in Trump's Upcoming Visit to the UK [View all]smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)26. But why is the whole family going out of their way to meet with him?
Especially after the way he spoke about Princess Diana. His last meeting with the Queen was a disaster, I can't understand why she just can't meet him for tea and be done with it. They don't have to give him the royal treatment. What could they possibly have to discuss with each other?
The Trumps are a family of poorly educated, low-life, crass idiots. I really can't imagine why the Royal Family would want to expose themselves any more than they possibly have to.
