London is abuzz with last minute preparation for Donald Trumps UK state visit with US and Union Flags adorning The Mall for Trump's visit, despite the president not travelling down the ceremonial route due to security risks. Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is to accompany Donald Trump for two of three days during his state visit to the UK, in order to defuse any political blow-ups with conversations about golf. The 'golf course diplomacy' is hoped by British authorities to prevent any diplomatic disagreements from flaring during the three days, as Buckingham Palace pair up golf loving Prince Andrew with the American president,

Prince Andrew? How hamhanded of the Brits. Wasn’t he implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein child bimbo scandal, along with Bubba? Did it somehow to DJT and Mar-A-Lago?
A bad move...

Re #1, not sure what’s happening on Replies, but mine needs correction. Should have said:
Didn’t they try to somehow link it to DJT and Mar-A-Lago?

Sorry. I had to come back. Didn’t read entire DM piece until posted reply. Just saw this:
The men met 20 years ago at the president's Mar-a-Lago estate and golf course in Palm Springs, Florida, and are already well acquainted sharing a mutual friend in disgraced millionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was was jailed on child prostitution charges in 2008.
Putting our President on a leash held by third-rate royal Andrew is an insult to him and to the United States of America. Maybe it’s time for someone to have a migraine and blow the whole trip out of the water, state dinner and all. This is a travesty.

These are royals who are afraid of their own rabble-rousers and foreign barbarians. This whole thing is so ridiculous and disrespectful of our president. Just think of how anti-British Obama has always been and he received the full royal treatment.

The next time the Brits come whinging and begging for us to bail them out... they can go pound sand!

The Daily Mail is just trying to create controversy as they always do. You can bet your boots that the British Royal Family and President Trump are not going to get involved in politics. Otherwise there is nobody in the U.K. who has the go-power to deter Trump from saying what he wants to say.
President Trump’s visit to the U.K. and his welcome by Queen Elizabeth is to commentate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944 where many thousands of Allied servicemen, American, British, Canadian and others were killed and wounded in the in that epic battle to defeat the Nazis.
The Daily Mail has been telling us that Megan Markle, even though she is a minor figure in Royal Family, and is still a US citizen, and is copping out on meeting Trump because she does not like him or his politics. Markle can suit herself and stay hidden, whatever she does she will not hurt Trump’s feelings. But then again, she could respect the anniversary of D-Day and take part in the ceremonies out of respect for all the American, British, and Canadian servicemen who gave their lives for their countries on D-Day.

President Trump will conduct himself with dignity, even if they were to pair up the grounds keeper, instead of the Prince. President Trump knows how to enjoy himself with all good people!

They better hope no one tries to over-take their country (even more than now) and they need bailing out again. My dad said when they got to England during WWll, it was destroyed and the people there had nothing. They'd all be speaking German right now if not for the US. Sad how history ignores the past and what on earth is going on in London that no one seems to be trying to stop their internal destruction by 'immigrants.'

The Duchess of Sussex is amplifying her poor breeding. Good manners are always expected from members of the firm, from top to bottom. I will note, the Duchess is at the bottom of the heap.
The president won't miss her.

Can anyone imagine a British prime minister or member of the Royal Familly being treated like this during a state visit to Washington, by any president or by the American people?!? The vast majority of Americans would have a fit.
Being relelgated to playing golf with Randy Andy is atrocious, an obvious ploy by royal courtiers to show disrespect to the president.. Trump should pay his respects to the Fallen, and to Her Majesty the Queen (who is the last remaining European head of state to have served in WWII), and then promptly board AF One for the flight home.
The British can be the rudest people on earth. Forget about The Ugly American; he doesn´t exist. The haughty and whiny Brit is out there for the whole world to see.

Brits are indeed a bunch of morons- proving once again why a nation that ruled the world lost their cajones! Nigel Farage and Brexit will pull off the bandaid and they need the USA for uplifting their economy. Look at their short sightedness!!!

Referring to President Trump as "Mr. Trump" is as disrespectful as referring to Her Majesty as "Ms. Mountbatten-Windsor!!"

GB was complicit in the coup attempt and I don't trust the SS to protect the President, especially not after they didn't even secure an underground tunnel at Mara Largo. I highly suspect an assassin is roaming about looking for a good shooting spot.
