Trump creates diplomatic headache for U.K. even before state visit

LONDON — Britain and the U.S. may have a special relationship but President Donald Trump’s state visit will be a diplomatic balancing act for the U.K., where Trump is deeply unpopular.

................Trump is widely disliked in the U.K. He has a positive opinion rating of only 21 percent, according to YouGov, compared to 72 percent for former President Barack Obama.

But he told The Sun Friday that “I don’t imagine any U.S. president was ever closer to your great land.”

"Now I think I am really — I hope — I am really loved in the U.K.," he added. "I certainly love the U.K."

On Tuesday, the day after Trump’s arrival, thousands of people are expected to hit the streets of the capital to protest, like they did during his last visit in July..............................

love is earnt, not demanded.

You earn it by being intelligent and sensitive to other peoples' needs. You earn it by what you do and say, every day.

In short, you have no chance.

Trump loves nothing and no one but himself.

And possibly the body of his daughter.

I really like that they have no "room" at Buckingham for them. I believe that they have 52 guest rooms. Best thing ever would be if they invited Hilary or Obama over say one week later and the "renovations" were completed.

You are hated over there even more than we hate you over here. What is this little fantasy world that you live in? Does nothing ever get through to you? You are despised around the world. Get that through your fat orange head. And nowhere are you more despised than in the UK. Enjoy your silly little trip at our expense you idiotic grifter. I am sure you will humiliate us as you always do.
