Discussion: Trump State Visit Plans Put Queen Elizabeth II In A 'Difficult Position'

Sounds like May got ahead of herself throwing out a ā€˜state’ visit without any real thought or consultation.

I’m curious to see how long May hold on as PM. What is the modern day record for shortest PM?

Now now, we joke, but let’s rise above the bitter partisanship and look to Scotland for a measured response to Donald Trump.

Trumpp’s going to need an interpreter for the visit. They speak genuine English over there, and the average 4-yr old there will top his vocabulary.

Visiting Mexico, and touring Middle East refugee camps with the Pope.

OT: Financial Times, London, Feb 1, 2017:

German born, naturalized US Citizen, Peter Thiel, entrepeneur, PayPal cofounder and a big supporter of the current POTUS, obtained, in secrecy and under a ā€œunusual circumstancesā€-clause, a New Zealand citizenship in 2011, so he currently hold a dual US-NZ citizenship. (ā€œYou can’t be too slim or have too many passportsā€).

In a letter accompanying his application to Nathan Guy, then minister for internal affairs, Mr Thiel wrote that it would give him ā€œgreat prideā€ to let it be known that he is a New Zealand citizen and an enthusiastic supporter of the country and its emerging high-tech industry. He has been awfully quiet about this, though, modesty perhaps ?

This came to light last month, when he bought property in a sensitive area in NZ, which normally requires a special permission for foreigners to buy. It has raised a stink in NZ now.

I wonder if dumpster will cancel this like he cancelled the Harley Davidson visit b/c they knew ahead of time that there were going to be met with protestors? And we know he just cant handle that kind of opposition…

I know it is not royal demeanor but Theresa May needs to be bitch slapped by the queen for putting her in that position. Then she needs to be put on the no fly list to keep her out of Turkey where she contracted with that war monger Erdogan to deliver a huge amount of airplanes (While her country is still an EU member)…

:joy:

O those are choice.

Boycott Britian! No travel, no trade, until visit is canceled.
