Trump to make “dummy visit” to the UK amid concerns an official visit could embarrass Queen Elizabeth: report http://hill.cm/HNxhybQ

President Trump will make a “dummy visit” to the United Kingdom this year, amid concerns that an official visit from the U.S. president could embarrass Queen Elizabeth, according to a report from The Daily Mail.

The trial visit, which will not include the traditional pomp and circumstance of an official visit, will include talks with Prime Minister Theresa May.

Trump will be invited by to the U.K. for an official visit only if the “dummy” run is a success, according to the British publication.

(good choice of words) he won't get to ride in a gilded carriage or visit the Queen. His ugly orange self will still set foot on the Scepter'd Isle, and, one hopes, there will be all manner of well-attended demonstrations by our British friends, perhaps complete with the proposed mass mooning a la Braveheart. I hope they do everything they can to ensure the "dummy" run is a disaster for Dolt 45 and a yuuge success for the rest of the world.
