The pomp will be entertaining. He is extra orange. Almost glowing.

LaMarschallin · 16/09/2025 21:47

You're right about AF1 - it seemed to take forever for them to climb down the steps.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 16/09/2025 21:54

Last Friday I saw military helicopters flying over north london

Maybe they were prepping for this visit

He’s the incarnation of the ugly American.

That said, I hope there are no protests. Whatever you think of him, he represents our most important ally. To insult him is to insult the United States. For all its faults, we have lived under the Pax Americana for 80 years now. If the USA vanished, we’d be at the mercy of Putin and China.

AngelaRaynersHair · 16/09/2025 22:00

I think people have every right to protest and given Maga’s obsession with “free speech” Trump should fully support it too!

I think Melania was wearing a tracksuit under that trench!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 16/09/2025 22:14

We are seriously beholden to the us 😪

😭😭 I reckon melania checked out ages ago and is just counting down the days

I doubt they even speak

@LunaTheCat
Oh, I wish that he would!
Unfortunately he is powerful man,(well, he's just a guy who's been elected to be the POTUS and people are giving him that power).
So we are rolling out the red carpet for him big time because, putting it simply, we apparently need the USA on our side with regard to trade, as an ally in a troubled world, etc., etc.........
And he's a prime target for an assassination attempt.
So of course he needs to be kept secure.
I've just been reading the BBC news online, and getting more and more angry.
This, like his last state visit, is going to cost you and me millions.
Just take a look at the vehicles, (for use on land and in air), his entourage are flying over for him.
Not to mention his own security staff, medics, and other staff vital for his well-being. Who is paying for that, us or the USA?
Then there is the deployment of our own security staff, God knows how many police, military personnel, the Royal staff needed to accommodate his meetings with the King, Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales, etc.
And don't even go there regarding the lavish banquets and fine dining - which again, you and me will be paying for.
I'm angry and sickened and helpless - where does the money come from for this when we have people needing food banks?
Is it just me?

It blows my mind that the king has to host this imbecile, never mind sex offending, felon, racist excuse for a president, and Epstein's best buddy, while prince Andrew has been (rightly stripped of everything). It's disgusting, if not laughable. I secretly hope that Andrew will gatecrash and wreck the whole thing for shits and giggles.

The hypocrisy for a load of pomp, and possibly out of fear is a disgrace. They all just seem to be government puppets. I'd never fit in with the royal family, if I were Kate I'd have told them all where to shove it - would never shake hands with that man. And to have him visit the late Queen's grave, what an insult. I bet if she could see him she'd be giving him the finger. I wish Prince Philip was here to give him an earful. I'd be in the Tower of London as soon as Air Force One hit the tarmak.

Americano75 · 17/09/2025 16:26

The whole thing turns my stomach, it's a fucking disgrace.

Topseyt123 · 17/09/2025 16:34

It's the state visit that should never have been offered in the first place. He had already had one during his first term in office and that was enough. Another wasn't needed.

Why are we welcoming such an arse?

ilovesooty · 17/09/2025 16:41

I've no interest in his visit and I'm avoiding the coverage. If we have to invite him, we have to do it properly I suppose. Thankfully he isn't staying long.

Radiatorvalves · 17/09/2025 16:43

London now…

Boomer55 · 17/09/2025 16:43

I don’t like him, but if the country gets some financial advantage, then all good. 👍

I forgot it was but I see people have been arrested for reminding him of his Epstein connection.
