State visit to Great Britian. From Buzzfeed.com today

Longer article at site
Snip
Donald Trump will finally visit the UK "later this year", Downing Street confirmed on Thursday afternoon.

Officials are currently "finalizing the details" of a visit, with no confirmation on where the US president will visit, or whether it will be a full state visit where he is hosted by Queen Elizabeth.

Trump made a stagey entrance to Davos, entering at the lower level of the Congress Centre and proceeding slowly through a silent crowd and up a grand set of stairs.

A desperate need for attention in his make up.

over there hear about this and the closer it gets to happening the outpouring of the appropriate hate will make him change his mind.

He is a weak crybaby who doesnt ever go where he is not adored. So he travels as little as possible.

2. Downing St. saying "working visit", not state visit

A senior UK government source said the visit was expected to take place in the second half of this year, after the pair meet again at the Nato summit in Brussels in July.

A Downing Street source said both the UK and US were planning for a working visit. This pushes the prospect of Trump’s state visit ever further into the future, and raises the possibility that it might never happen.

Either way, the detailed planning that must now get under way will include calculating the scale of the security operation that will be needed. There has been speculation that Trump’s visit will lead to the biggest protests since the anti-war demonstration against the Iraq war in 2003.
