But as the official leader of our biggest friend and ally you'll be pleased to know a great many people here are delighted to see you.
We're all so bored by Brexit we need some fun in our lives.
Why is he there, he's not like here or there?

I wonder how the trump fans overlook his crap. I mean I actually don't mind some of trump policies but how can you look at the guy and not see what an ape he is. I mean just an ogre, rude, crude, no style, no class. LOL. I can go on and on.

I said that to some of my righty trump loving friends and they simply said they hired him to do a job, not a popularity contest.

Ok, I guess.



Too late.


He didn't even make it to touchdown.

Why did the Brits vote Brexit? I've never lived in the UK, but I "know" the economy was good and the UK wasn't at war with anyone. It was a prime destination for immigrants. It was doing fine. You just needed to take more pride in your country -- and the EU! -- old sport.
I have homes in the US and the UK and spend a fair bit of time each year in both.
I like to think I have a small understanding of both places.
What they both have in common at the moment is large numbers of citizens who feel their governments don't understand them and don't represent them.
Trump and Brexit are these people pushing back and it's magnificent to watch
Democracy in its purest form.

The most powerful man in the world is visiting England and everyone watching knows they'd better mind their P's and Q's. He has their number and he doesn't mince words or play their games.
THEY should mind their P's and Q's? LOL. He's in the UK now, where people tell it like it is. He's in THEIR country.

Besides, where do you think Trump gets his tendency to not mince words? If he's at all worth his 50% Scottish blood, he'd better be prepared to deal with some criticism from the Brits. Because they're going to give it to him.

Oh, good! I'm so glad. I've been very, very worried.

Is Trump too much of a snowflake to take it?

Trump and his minions are too soft, apparently, underneath their tough exteriors.

So far the visit seems to be going amicably.

Does anyone know what the brooch is the Queen is wearing or where it came from? Have been told that she sometimes sends clues as to her actual opinion with her brooches and jewels.

There does seem to be parallels between Trump and Brexit, at least as I understand Brexit. Trump is just a symptom of America's annoyance with the politicians and he was a reset button of sorts, whether right or wrong.

He was seen as an outsider and I think people thought he'd change things up.

Isn't there some kind of protocol when dealing with the queen? I forget but you are supposed to act a certain way around her and other protocols when addressing her.

I wonder how Trump is managing to not step on those.
