I'm rather hoping that Trump will say something so outrageously inappropriate that even his closest supporters become aware of just what an idiot he is, and just how dangerous he is.

I think that ship sailed long, long ago!

Of course he should go, it’s his job

Yes but that was more luck than judgement. If the guy who took a bullet to the vest had taken one to the head instead fi.

I served as an Officer in the Army,so have plenty of knowledge about the Royal Family.Should he not want to go,he is capable of refusing,this is NOT about running the country,which he can not interfere with.

How wonderful for you to be so knowledgeable! Which you clearly are not! An I suggest you do a little more research before showing your ignorance.

Maybe he could refuse. But as it’s his job, maybe he feels he can’t. Maybe he feels he can talk sense into the orange one’s head. Personally I’d have used it as an excuse not to go, but he’s probably been told he has to, so off he trots.

NeelyOHara · 27/04/2026 06:10

He might as well go, Charles won’t have long in the job and this could be a chance to actually maybe do something useful.

I think it is good that he is going, regardless of the shitstorms around politics. Charles III has more chance to talk sense to DJT than most.

Exactly, the royals aren't meant to get involved in politics. I hope he'll survive the experience though!

The king should stay at home because this country shouldn't be cosying up to a mad authoritarian who dreams of being a king.

Also, we shouldn't have a king - the thing he dreams of being

It’s a state visit to celebrate the 250 years since American independence.
It’s got sweet FA to do with the current president.

So he should stay home because people dont want the monarch to actually do the job that they are meant to do?

What on earth should they be doing then?

I cannot understand why he is going in the first place,he has gone down in my estimation for not declining the invitation.

I'm no fan of the monarchy but you can't blame the king for doing the bidding of the British government - that's his job!

If I was the King I’d use this as the perfect excuse not to go!

IncompleteSenten · 26/04/2026 21:57

Charles will be perfectly safe. I don't think even trump's staff full of yes men would arrange someone to take a potshot at him.

There's no benefit to trump in doing that.

Spaghettea · 26/04/2026 21:56

It seems like Trump has better security in other countries than his own. I realise lots of people hate Trump (as do I) but his security look pretty shite if he can have two attempted assassinations in two years. Those blokes shouldn't have got anywhere near him.

As much of a lefty as I am I do feel for KC3 and the Queen having to grin and bear it this week and having security issues dumped on top.

luckylavender · 26/04/2026 21:53

Reallyneedsaholiday · 26/04/2026 17:56

Given that there was another “assassination attempt” on Trump, do you think that there is a threat to the safety of King Charles, during his State Visit to the US?
Either, the attempts are absolutely genuine, and therefore, there is a distinct lack of decent security surrounding these events, OR they are “staged” and the King could be an actual target, to garner support for Trump 🤔
(personal opinion, to be clear, is that the attempts have been staged and that poor man who died was “collateral damage”, hit at random, to gain support for “poor, targeted” Trump, which actually worked)
YABU - attempts have been genuine and the King would not be at risk
YANBU - the King should stay at home

Nobody died?

No one is going to talk sense to Trump at this stage in his life. Some of the most respected people in the United States (gen. Kelly, gen. Mattis, etc) and all it’s done is make them targets for retaliation

I cannot understand, how people, have such little knowledge, on how a constitutional monarchy works. The king is HoS, but he does what the U.K. government instructs him to do. It’s his job.

Actually body doubles are being used in place of the king and queen.

I’d love that to be true
Do you think Trump would notice if we sent the waxworks from Madame Tussaud’s? 😂 They won’t be able to get a word in edgeways anyway, so the silence wouldn’t be a problem 🤔😂

i don’t think he should go for many reasons, don’t think he’s at risk as such

but with the bat shittery coming from trump I wouldn’t put it past him to stage something similar and the US ‘rescues’ the king …….
