A sense of duty, which she has more of than most. She's head of state, so's he, and being graceful and correct in his presence is part of the task that history saddled her with.

And what is a POTUS denigrating other world leaders in public a sign of?

I'd have to first agree with your assertion that Trump is denigrating other world leaders in order to honestly answer that question. Since I don't, I can't give you an honest reply. Sorry.

He'll probably march in, and say, "hi Liz. Long time no see."
lol. Drinks before and after.

Maybe she'll smack him with her black purse.

That's how many people attended the launch at Parliament Square, not how many people were in the larger crowd, which you can see plainly in the video. Who are you going to believe, Reuters or your lyin' eyes? LOL Reuters also says that more than 64,000 had signed up to demonstrate.

Probably hoping she does not get a extremely tacky gift like a cheap MP3 player with all of his speeches on it..She already got one of those from Obummer

Maybe he'd even consider defecting...


Wasn't he talking **** the moment he got off the plane over there? No wonder they don't like him...

If you have to succumb to insults in order to make a point, you've already lost, kid.

The OP's Reuters link in the very first post of this thread says 1000 people were at the blimp flying event. The Reuters link that you just posted also says there were 1000 people at the blimp flying event. The blimp event is what this thread is about. If you wish to expand the discussion to include sub-protests and whatever else is happening there then go right ahead. But please do try to focus your zesty fight mode just long enough to stay on topic here.
