Are you excited for President Donald Trump’s forthcoming state visit to the UK?

[Juliette96]

How will you mark the occasion? Cheering him on as he parades through London? Trying to catch a glance? Not caring? Etc

My DDs boyfriend is in the police and has been able to book overtime to help police this.

He will now have enough to buy the engagement ring he wants to propose to DD with.

At least there is a positive to his trip!

As I live far away from where the orange buffoon will be, I shall do nothing. If I was nearby I would turn up with a "Trump is still a cunt" placard. I feel sorry for the Royal Family and the Cabinet having to entertain/be polite to this vile POS.

We were excited when Bush visited and did attend the route but not this idiot

Totally unmoved. The man is unfit to hold office.

What is there to be excited about precisely?

You want the people of Britain to get excited about the red carpet being rolled out for a rapist and felon? Can I ask why?

Why would I be excited? He’s an awful, divisive, dangerous man.

Excited? Are you on glue?

It’s an unnecessary, wasteful and sycophantic pandering to a deranged dictator.

I wouldn’t say excited, but I’m looking forward to seeing how he interacts with the royals, particularly Wills and Kate. I’m also looking forward to seeing how Starmer navigates the press conference.

OP are you serious? Excited? I’m disgusted!! 🤢 I will be out there protesting, he does not deserve the lavish treatment he will be receiving.
Red Arrows are totally over the top.

I quite like seeing different planes and helicopters about. Saw a Canadian airforce one yesterday. Assume this is for the visit as it originated in Troon

I do find Trump quite entertaining in a strange way. He makes me laugh. So there's that.

“Excited for”? It’s the Americans on here again. I wonder if there’s a US equivalent of the Daily Mail where they are scraping our replies for news fodder?

Excited is quite a different word in US English I think, OP. It’s more like mildly diverted, whereas for us Brits it’s something which potentially could involve jumping up and down with a balloon. Which I won’t be doing. I’ll just be glad to get it over with. As will, I suspect, the King.

Hopefully no one will turn up to see the orange rapist. Who wants to cheer that corrupt bastard?!

I work near the American Embassy, but I don’t expect it will impact me much. During his first term as President, Trump said how much he hated the location. Vauxhall is….mostly high rise flats and public transport, and the river. Not pretty like it’s previous location.

Couldn't care less.

I’m usually very supportive of people’s right to their own political beliefs but this goes beyond politics.
As an individual he’s a disgrace and I struggle to understand why anyone would be excited about his visit.

Surely @Juliette96 is writing tongue in cheek, no Brits would be excited aboutt this would they? I'm guessing most people, if they know about it, dont particularly care

I will be keeping my children well away

Times like this I remember the late Scottish comedian Janet Godley...

Yip and we have enough of those types already we don't need another one visiting.

At times like these I remember the late Scottish comedian Janet Godley

excited? nah. excited to see the back of him once he leaves? yep. odious excuse for a human.

Oh God it’s arrived. I’ll be avoiding the news. I don’t blame those who had to invite him but imagine having to talk to them. When is it over?

Appalled that this country has invited a paedophile warmonger.

If I'm "looking forward" to anything about it, it's the trolling that we are so good at as a nation.
