Threat to the King, in the US

[Reallyneedsaholiday]

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

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.

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.

This

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!

Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old former volunteer fire chief from Sarver, Pennsylvania. He was shot and killed in 2024.

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?

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

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

Oh I see. Apologies. I thought you meant this time.

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.

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.

he is going but I find it quite nerve wracking
as I am sure William and Edward do

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.

Of course he should go, it’s his job

Why just those two? Do you think Anne is waving him off hoping that someone takes him out?!!

Andrew probably is 💅

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!

Oh I know, but I don't underestimate Trump's ability to wildly overstep the mark. His supporters are starting to have doubts. I want him to really dig his own grave.

😂😂😂😂

Of course 🙄

There’s no of course about it - BP absolutely should have refused. Trump is a vile bully and cosying up to him is achieving precisely nothing 🤬

The royals are a risk anywhere they go all the time. Part of their role is travelling. That’s why they have huge tax payer funded protection,

he should go

He should go.

Charles won’t give up this chance to boost his own ego and be the saviour between Trump and the UK

Do you understand how the Constitutional Monarchy works?.
