Donald Trump's state visit to Britain put on hold

Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump has told Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to go ahead with a state visit to Britain until the British public supports him coming.

The US president said he did not want to come if there were large-scale protests and his remarks in effect put the visit on hold for some time.

The call was made in recent weeks, according to a Downing Street adviser who was in the room. The statement surprised May, according to those present.

The conversation in part explains why there has been little public discussion about a visit.

But that's okay. The less he travels to other countries, the less damage he can do to our already faltering alliances.

.... to venture down to KFC for a couple of buckets of deep fried chicken with an extra helping of mashed potatoes and a double order of gravy.

He could then trot up and down Pennsylvania Avenue tossing the chicken bones to the curb for the next meal for the unwashed peasants dying of starvation as they lay in the street gutters of our nation's capitol.

It is good to be king.

Britain hates you more than we do because they dont' have the rw media lying to them the way we do and they have a more educated, less stupid population. Unfortunately, there are many anti-science, anti-knowledge, hate filled racist here and they are just like you,
