Theresa May to urge Trump to avoid London protests during UK visit: The Sun

(Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will urge U.S. President Donald Trump to avoid protesters in central London during his UK visit in July and instead meet her at her country residence, the Sun newspaper reported on Sunday.

There are two proposals that will be made to the White House by Darroch upon May’s approval - one for a Downing Street visit or one based at Chequers, a 16th-century manor house 40 miles (60 km) northwest of London - the report said, citing a source, who added it would be made clear that May prefers the meeting take place at Chequers.

Trump will also be asked to have tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, a royal residence west of London and not at Buckingham Palace, according to the report.

(Kim) Darroch (British ambassador to the United States) will suggest to the White House that Trump does not visit Britain’s houses of parliament, the Sun reported.

The idea of trump visiting the home of the Magna Carta is beyond the pale.

and he will NEVER GET IT from those he really wants it from -- the learned, the wealthy, the trend-setters.

The people that indulge and tolerate him (huckster preachers, Putin, billionaires, Israeli politicians, Saudi royals) don't respect or admire him. They hold him in contempt -- they are clear-eyed that they are manipulating him because he is weak, stupid, and pathetic.

When Trump goes to the UK, at any public appearance he's gonna get a lot of #showyourrumptotrump

The Rump can come but he can't speak in parliament? Is that it?

They are really good at expressing themselves and we know he deserves much worse than to be "mooned".
