For a supposedly strong Alpha Male he sure does whine a lot. I also thought that Alpha Males were not prone to letting their insecurities show through. Maybe he isn't an Alpha Male after all?

Oh yeah, a "light". If Donald Trump were a light bulb, he would be about a one watter.

Trump had had something laid on for him that was better than a normal state visit, indeed Blenheim Palace was magnificent last night, and the Guards Bands and Pipers were fantastic. Trump had a lovely meal before flying back to the Ambassadors Residence at Winfield House in London. The Ambassador being his close friend Woody Johnson.

Today he goes to Sandhurst (our version of West Point) and watches a military training exercise involving British and American troops, and then he is off to Chequers for talks with Theresa May, and then off to the granduer of Windsor Castle, where he will once again be met by a Guard of Honour, and the Trumps will have tea with the Queen before heading up to Scotland to Trumps Golf course at Turnberry.

Hardly a trip where he's been made to feel unwelcome.

But not the full frontal state visit DT and his handlers pressed for not long after coming to the WH either.

The whole alpha vs. beta male thing is ridiculous. The terms were originally used to refer to the pack structure of wolves, and the current translation to human behavior is a total failure. A beta male is not anything like at the bottom. He is, in fact, the second in command. The pack is led by a pair, so there is also an alpha female, but you never hear anything about that in these silly conversations about alpha-ism.

Lastly, you are correct. Alphas are usually quietly confident and above all, stable. trump is not an alpha anything.

What Trump has was in many resoects better than a state visit, which is normally just a ride to the Palace in the Presidential car, a gun salute and military guard and dinner with the Queen. Trump will geting all these things (well except for the gun salute - although he may get one at Sandhurst today) and more, and also gets to relax and play golf on the weekend.

In terms of State Visits, there have only been two official state visits in relation to George. W.Bush and Obama, and they are a fairly recent addition to Presidential visits. Indeed the last President to be pulled through London in a horse drawn carriage was probably Woodrow Wilson in 1918, and I doubt the Secret Service today would allow the President in a Horse Drawn Carriage.

However US Presidents are usually warmy received in the UK, and in the case of Roosevelt, who died before he could have receved a state visit, there is the Roosevelt Memorial in Grosvenor Square, alongside the US Eagle Squadron Memorial and statues of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, we also have statues and memorials in relation to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy.

His suits are definitely cut better.

Look at his shoulders -- (and that's the last place you would lose weight) -- the suits are now fitting his upper frame instead of being huge and hanging off of him.

Melania is looking healthy. Good.

Default English people welcome dictators but protest Trump

Maybe time to let the people of England handle their own business and ignore them.

If this is how they treat a good President and think about the voters of America who voted President Trump in, then let the Brits sink with the ship as illegal aliens and immigrants have turned England in a down spiral.

The Brits can’t even agree about Brexit and many government officials have resigned in the last month.

Americans are not even safe in England so think twice and Croatia and other former Eastern Block countries like Hungary are way nicer to visit and more safe!

Let the Brits admire dictators and see how long they will love their hate for a good person. I feel very offended by the actions of the mayor of London and will not travel there until he is gone!
