Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean those of us who do are sheep. Get over yourself. Please.
Sure, I'm a history buff as well.

English tyrants helped to found this country, just to clarify your point.

Fawning adoration over remnants of passe' monarchical rulers is quite a leap, IMHO.

Of course everyone's opinion may vary.

You are free to return to your regularly scheduled coverage of the "Markle sparkle" the dialog of which seems to be something along the lines of...."baaaaa, baaaaaa, baaaaahhhhh, bleet"

So Trump's absence could be an embarrassment.
His response will be that he was invited, but declined. He wouldn't like it anyway since he hates horses, soldiers and foreign accents.

Trump will be invited.

The irrelevant royals know that if Trump isn't invited, the most powerful man on earth will schedule some mischief to steal their thunder on the wedding day.

And I'm not necessarily saying that would be a bad thing.

Oh please, because he’s a thin skinned, narcissistic, infant in an adult body. Does America care, no. But it will chap Dear Leaders hide to no end to be snubbed. That makes me laugh.

Well, I seem to recall a few years ago all these people invited him to events and treated him like a human being at least. They were happy to take his money when he was supporting democrats.

As for this wedding, it may make Trump a little upset to not be invited, but who effing cares about a royal wedding anyway? It’s the most pompous and ridiculous thing. What makes that family so special that their countrymen are happy to give up taxpayer money to make them billionaires just for being descendants of a conqueror? They don’t appear to do anything anymore except PR. I just don’t get it. But hey, more power to them if they want to keep this tradition.

I was not aware that Trump gave money to any political parties in the UK. How interesting.

ANOTHER possible consequence of a Trump presidency. I wouldn't blame the British royal family one bit if they refused to invite him.

A little off topic, but does anyone else consider Harry and Meghan an odd match? They seem to have little in common, at least on the surface. Nevertheless, I wish them a long and happy marriage.
