If he were wise, Trump would avoid all state visits where he would undoubtedly be seen as bordering the illiterate by all who would observe him. The man has a problem that's only going to be more apparent with age.

Nobody has ever won from a majority of the people in this country.

You might want to learn just a little history.

Donald Trump Is Not Welcome To Address Parliament, U.K. Speaker Declares | The Huffington Post

His remarks were met with applause from other members of Parliament.

It says a lot when our closest ally wants our president to stay away. I don't think that's ever happened before. And to rub salt in the wound, President Obama did address the full Parliament, at their invitation. As did President Clinton. Ouch.
Yep, they're another group that doesn't want to hear the truth.

Look at the graph near the bottom of the first link you posted.

https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/sta...ion-statistics

It shows net migration as about the same over the years. This is information from the Office of National Statistics,

I have no idea what the third graph means in terms of numbers. The first two graphs show massive immigration. The figures of net immigration grow each year. Are you saying the figures balance out immigration and emigration? That's ludicrous. The population is growing rapidly. What are you saying? This is caused by the people breeding like rabbits?

Is their Speaker anything like our Speaker?
