Donald Trump to make 'dummy run' visit to UK: report

[DonViejo]

There are concerns that a full state visit could be a disaster because of the US president’s unorthodox approach.

The U.K. government invited U.S. President Donald Trump for talks with Prime Minister Theresa May in a “dummy run” ahead of an official visit, the Daily Mail reported.

Trump will be offered a state visit next year, but only if his low-profile trip is a success, the newspaper said.

The dummy visit is in response to concerns that Trump’s visit could be a disaster and his unorthodox approach to protocol — or his eccentric behavior — could embarrass the Queen.

May from her side wants to avoid upsetting Trump as she is keen to broker a good post-Brexit trade deal with the U.S. His visit is likely to trigger demonstrations.

4. Can you imagine the anxiety if tRump meets the Queen?

And some people got upset that Michelle Obama touched the Queen. Turns out the Queen is not THAT averse to being touched but with tRump, you never know what he will feel entitled to grab. If you get my drift. Heh, heh, heh....
