There has been no change to plans for U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to Britain, Prime Minister Theresa May's office said on Sunday, after the Guardian reported the trip had been postponed.

The newspaper, citing an unnamed adviser at May's office, said Trump had told May by telephone in recent weeks that he did not want to come until the British public supported his visit.

"We aren't going to comment on speculation about the contents of private phone conversations. The Queen extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the UK and there is no change to those plans," a spokeswoman for May's office said.

1. No adoring throngs

would greet him in the UK. The Brits LOATHE him. I know my relatives there despise him, and can not believe the US actually VOTED for the clown.

9. Hamfisted Bun Vendor AKA @MetalOllie on Twitter...

...he's the gentleman who coined the term "shitgibbon" for Trump.

He's also an excellent source to follow on Twitter for anyone who wants to keep a pulse on U.K. sentiment regarding Trump. He has 3866 followers and they're all pretty vocal about their disdain for what has been happening.

2. Keep digging the grave deeper for your conservative party, May--

Any world leader who entertains trump is going to receive voter backlash.

3. British plan Mass Mooning of republican Draft Dodger in Chief

10. That's awesome

I love the Brits!

[Maeve]

4. Has a date been set?

Otherwise, he just 'hopes' to visit....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. No date set previously, none set now; so "no change to plans". . . . nt

6. I also read about the mooning

They are calling it show your rump for Trump.

This would be one of the most watched spectacles, I will watch, thousands of Brits mooning Trump along his travel route.

7. Another moon shot...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Britons have no love for tRump.....

Show your rumps!!! Give the Donald a welcome he will hate for the rest of his short-lived Presidency. I will surely watch this. Have plenty of signs to wave as well.

11. My only worry...

Is that he won't see it as an insult, but be uncontrollably excited by all the exposed flesh. The last thing we need is the Predator-in-Chief groping Londoners and screaming "Diplomatic Immunity!" as he's dragged back to his plane. And then his popularity among the "Science is Fake News!" crowd would go up even more.

12. Well shoot.

The Guardian story & good coffee made so cheery this am. But I'll enjoy the mass moonings too.

[George II]

13. Assuming, of course, if May and trump or either are still in office.

14. Trump is an embarrassment

I doubt he makes this trip as he is seen as an enemy of the British people right now.

Like I've been saying all along, this is just starting, Trump will do more harm than you can imagine in the coming years. The World will start to organize against the US very soon, with Trump at the helm we are a threat.

15. He doesn't want to go until the Brits support his visit?

That would be never. If he means it, he ain't going. Besides, May is becoming irrelevant anyway.
