You have to see the Twitter responses to the Royal Family tweet that the Queen will meet Trump

Last edited Fri Jul 13, 2018, 03:49 PM - Edit history (1)

The Royal Family's tweet was posted just a few minutes ago.




Some of the responses so far:


Alexa play god save the queen


On behalf of the sane American people I apologize


HRM, I'm so sorry.


She should meet them outside of the gates and give them tea to takeaway.


Longest afternoon of her life.


Please encourage the Queen to be as honest & frosty as possible with the giant man baby who has been inflicted on us all by Vladimir Putin. And America apologizes in advance for whatever repulsive thing he says or does. Really, we're very sorry.


So sorry your Majesty. This is so beneath you and your government should have never subjected you to this. Signed, The Majority of America


Apologies in advance for anything the #SoCalledPresident may say or do to cause yet more embarrassment, perhaps you should break out the special tea set

No one is forcing her to meet with him.

Why is she meeting with him ???

Maybe she wants to meet with him.

She is 92 years old.

I imagine she does what she wants to do.

Why did Teresa May agree with almost everything he said at the press conference ???

Is the whole fucking world going to kowtow to him ???

Theresa May made the invitation when she visited Washington shortly after the inauguration last year. She, like many others, probably expected Trump to moderate his behaviour once in office, and of course Mueller had not yet been asked to start an investigation.

The Queen could not possibly rescind the invitation without undermining her own PM. And as many have pointed out, QE II has met all sorts of depraved dictators in the past. Its a formailty, and in no way an endorsement.
They might have to gag Phillip though.

She was titled HRH The Princess Elizabeth prior to her father’s death.

Upon his death, she was then titled HM Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Although it might have been the perfect opportunity for Her Maj to get in an ever-so-tactful comment about ICE keeping children in cages. But then, she’s way too refined to shame someone, no matter how deserving iq45 may be.

In the meantime, please pass the royal hand-sanitizer!

I wonder if Trump will try to yank her hand the way he did Brigitte Macron's. (No one is supposed to touch the queen without permission. When Michelle hugged HRM, HRM hugged her back, so that was "permission. )
