1. Trumps visit

This supposed visit has been downgraded from a 'State visit' already. The meaning of this is essentially that the Queen and royal household have already protested his visit.

In the Houses of Parliament, to much applause, John Bercow - the Speaker of the House - has made it very clear that Trump will not receive the honour of being invited to speak in the Commons, nor will he be invited to speak at Westminster Hall.

The Speaker has also made it plain, that wherever he has jurisdiction, he will ensure that no invitations for audiences will be issued. Obama was invited to do these things, which shows there is a precedent and also shows that Parliament have essentially protested Trumps visit too.

When Trumps visit was originally proposed, he sent a list of places to the Royal Household and details of photo opportunities that he expected to be made available to him. Including playing golf on the Royal golf course and on horseback with the Royal family in attendance.

I'm no fan of the Monarchy, but don't blame them for regarding Trump as utter trash and ensuring he is kept away from them. Parliament isn't without its problems either, but it's notable that they risked Trumps displeasure and made the necessary moves to distance themselves and not be regarded as condoning his style of governance.

It's a shame that those who believe that Trump is somehow 'making America great' do not recognize that the country has never been more ridiculed or despised than it currently is

Bwahahahaha!

Can you see that tub of lard on a horse? It would probably collapse underneath him! Not only that, but it's very clear he has no rapport with animals whatsoever. The poor horse would probably get spooked and go wild. There would be nothing funnier than to see Trump thrown from a horse and end up in a puddle of mud! It would be worth getting him on a horse just to see how ridiculous he looked.

It would take a fork lift.

Telling the royal family what he wants.

What did he expect.

It would be torturously hilarious! You need enough strength just to pull your self up and over. Riding is not for the obese and out of shape.

What did he want.

The royal family to stand there and clap.

After what he said about William and Harry mother yet.
