<snip>
President Trump has requested a ride with Queen Elizabeth II in a gold-plated carriage during his visit to the United Kingdom this October, according to a report by The Times of London.

The tradition of world leaders taking a carriage ride along the mall from the Royal Mews to Buckingham Palace with the Queen is not entirely unusual.

The decision has not yet been confirmed, and aspects of Trump's visit are still in flux.

Word is that the queen said fuck no!!!

Harry probably did not like Trump's attacks on his friend Obama either.

They do not want him in a carriage
They do not want him at the marriage
They do not want to let him speak
and let the ugly pie-hole leak.
They do not want him, not at all,
Too much racism, lies and all that gall.
