(CNN)At a grand banquet table in a red-carpeted Buckingham Palace ballroom, the Queen, a couple of princes, dukes and duchesses, and lords and ladies were intermixed with the Trump family: a President, a first lady, four of his five children, and two of their spouses.
Queen Elizabeth II formally invited just President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump to travel to London for an official State Banquet at Buckingham Palace. But the event became more of an extended family affair, with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and his wife Lara, and Tiffany Trump all joining the exclusive party.
snip
For the President, bringing his adult children, in his view, is akin to showcasing his version of royalty. In an interview ahead of the trip with the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, Trump said he wanted Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany to hold a "next generation" meeting with the Prince William and his wife, Kate, and Prince Harry.
snip
(Trump) elevated his daughter and son-in-law to two of the highest-ranking appointments inside the West Wing. He even suggested that she could hold public office herself after he leaves office.
"If she ever wanted to run for president," the President said this year, "I think she'd be very, very hard to beat."

(snip)
This administration has made a strategic decision to reverse the loosening of sanctions and other restrictions on the Cuban regime. These actions will help to keep U.S. dollars out of the hands of Cuban military, intelligence, and security services," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.

(90,762 posts)The very notion of a "next generation" should be held in contempt and treated with scorn.
To extend even a reluctant hand to such thinking only serves to further it.
The Trump family isn't a discomfort to be endured until it isn't - it's a cancer that needs to be surgically removed and then treated with radiation.
The Trump family isn't something to be placated and wooed until they're gone - because they won't go away if people continually treat them as even remotely acceptable.
If someone's sense of duty demands them to normalize the Trump family in any way - regardless of how small - then you have a warped sense of duty.
The Trump family is something you protect people from - not subject them to.

Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)It's not just the Royals who should never advance the Trumps - it's America and everyone else.
The normalization has already caused too much damage. Continued treatment of the Trumps as normal will only make it worse.

(63,221 posts)They really have no concept of how they are viewed by their superiors. They really think they are something special and they are clueless as to what losers they are. They are all so arrogant and believe themselves to be far more intelligent, cultured, talented, attractive and respected than they actually are.
It's true, people have allowed them to get away with believing these lies about themselves because of their ill-gotten wealth, but it has gone to their heads and its at the point where they only look more and more ridiculous and they are embarrassing us as a nation.
Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)The things people tolerate and allow simply boggles my mind. Then they wonder how this (whatever the "this" is) could happen.
Which angers me. Greatly.
I see people asking the exact same questions they asked when Bush, the war criminal, was in office. Never once seeming to recall that fact.
Unreal. Truly.

Kids can change the world, believe it or not. Does he even have friends? At least we saw the Obama girls doing normal things. Something tells me ma has him cloistered. Hope he's not next generation Sparrow.

(5,801 posts)Melamine is making provisions for her and Barron's post-red don existence. Which they would have been living already but for the stolen presidency.
That's giving Melamine the credit of believing that she knows red don is toxic and wants herself and her son as far away as possible. Probably one of the reasons she was so upset when the wanker "won" is that it delayed her getaway for years.

(5,812 posts)...Melania has plans to get away from the a-hole con man. I am thinking that there is some kind of Pre-Nup that gives her a larger settlement after so many years.

(32,968 posts)sourcehttps://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-charles-tricia-nixon.html/ (trashy I lnow, but intheir story theu cite a 1970s source)did Prince Charles and Tricia Nixon date? Not exactly (though, President Nixon desperately to play matchmaker).
Snip...According to reports, the former United States president made an embarrassingly obvious attempt to set his daughter up with the future king during his trip across the pond. Seating plans constantly had Charles and Tricia side by side while the program had them spending all of each day together, even to be left alone with each other in various parts of the White House, Anthony Holden, a royal biographer told Express. However, the young bachelor didnt take interest in the presidents daughter. The British heir felt distinctly annoyed and thought of Tricia Nixon as plastic and artificial.

(115,674 posts)but you don't RSVP and you bring your four bratty kids without asking anybody, and they talk and cry and run around during the service and you don't stop them or take them out, and then you all go to the reception but the hosts haven't figured on four extra kids so there aren't enough seats at the tables, so you take over the table where the bride's elderly aunt is seated and your kids throw food and cry and run around and you still don't do anything about them, and the bride is in tears because one of the kids puked on the wedding cake.
Like that.
