The UK Just Cancelled Donald Trump’s State Visit

Current Events | Published on June 21, 2017


The planned visit to the United Kingdom by President Donald Trump has been cancelled for the foreseeable future. The news came via the Queen’s Speech, an event held when a new government enters Parliament.

The Queen’s address, which marks the opening of the new parliament, is usually dictated by the incoming administration and often includes details such as planned state visits. However, this year’s speech only made reference to an upcoming visit by members of the Spanish royal family.

This news comes after reports emerged that Trump was re-thinking his decision to visit the UK, supposedly because he didn’t want to face the huge protests against him that would have erupted in major towns and cities.

A spokesman for the British Government said that the invitation was still on the table, but no timeframe had been agreed.

The British Government has received calls from many public figures and petitions to cancel Trump’s visit. The President’s casual racist, sexist and Islamophobic comments went down very badly across the pond.

The UK has been in turmoil for the last few weeks. A shock election result ruined the Conservative Party’s majority and created a political crisis. Then two terrorist attacks and a deadly fire in a tower block that has claimed the lives of more than 79 people have rocked the nation.

They have more important things to be worrying about than making sure Trump has a good vacation.

[Lotusflower70]

5. Don't blame them

They don't want to babysit the asshat when they have more important things to deal with.

[whathehell]

8. No one is..

as far as I can see.

[Iplayoneontv]

44. I'm baffled they extended it

I understand England wants to suck up to the US since they managed to fuck up with Europe but they just had an election where they were repuked. Bringing over someone they all hate isn't helping.

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Small quibble

It takes more than that to "rock" the UK.

[democrank]

7. Good decision.

Why should the U.K., with all they have been through of late, go out of their way to welcome our country's lying, racist, boorish, dangerous, incompetent POS President?

[n2doc]

9. Not Exactly

From the source quoted in the link:

A Number 10 spokesman said: “An invitation has been extended and accepted [by President Trump]. The visit was not mentioned in the Queen’s Speech because a date has not been fixed.”

[MrModerate]

11. Perhaps it can be rescheduled to when Hell freezes over . . .

[Alice11111]

33. Yep. That's how it was. The Mayor wanted to officially

cancel. Since DT didn't want to come without a guilded chariot and the guarantee of big crowds of applause, they gladly let it slide to the background.

[deminks]

10. I take it the Queen is not amused by the Orange One. nt

[Chasstev365]

12. Fake Country; Fake Queen! Sad!

[iloveObama12]

13. Good!

[onecent]

14. Gpd who is he saying good bye too...I hate it when he takes the mic and

says "thank you" thank you thank you....like someone just gave him 1,000,000 dollars..

I can't wait til I can look at the picture tube and see someone else..WHO WORKS...
who fills in the jobs that need filling in and shuts his dam trap!!!

[justhanginon]

15. Someone needs to photoshop cell bars on that car window.

It would be a dream fantasy that would let the sane portion of the nation sleep better.

[L. Coyote]

16. It seems preparations for #ShowYourRumpToTrump day reached Downing Street

[DK504]

18. That's the best. I am hoping that would have greeted the POS

that stole the WH.

[NastyRiffraff]

28. I'm glad he's not going, but

I'm sorry to miss the ShowYourRumpToTrump er...display!

Dump is not going until the Brits assure him that they will forbid all protests. Which will be never.

[Alice11111]

34. A group actually was organizing for that, for reals.

[L. Coyote]

35. Oh yeah, the entire nation is organized, ready, and waiting.

[Alice11111]

36. Very good!

[malaise]

17. Great news

Fuck the COn

[onecaliberal]

19. Bwahahhahhahaha

[gordianot]

20. A polite way of saying we do not want you and your problems here.

Even during World War II American soldiers presence was resented in that there are problems when a large influx of foreign troops arrives on your doorstep. Avoiding chaos is understood imagine if that situation were reversed. Great Britain may be our last ally to even consider having that boorish narcisstic egomaniac in their midst. I would hope far less than 36% of Brits approve of this loutish pompous ass and his pretentious quasi-royal family. When it comes to Trump manners not required.

[mikeyDE]

21. but but but...

... but what about my ride in a golden coach!

[Scarsdale]

23. The Brits

do not want his orange arse, nor his wife's skank ass in their royal coach. They RESPECT the Mayor of London much, much more than tRump.

[H2O Man]

22. Recommended.

We need to cancel his presidency.

[ailsagirl]

24. Bravo!!

Maybe it'll be a precedent

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. I think he should go. He needs to see exactly how despised he is

everywhere.

[lunasun]

26. They do not need his shitnannigans right now good on them

[maddiemom]

27. makeamericagreatagain?

Looks like the rest of the world is regaining its respect for us, as promised...and in only five months.

[Runningdawg]

29. I'm still unclear on who exactly canceled the trip

President Donald Trump’s State Visit to the United Kingdom has been cancelled indefinitely at the request of The White House.

31. Good move if true.

The last thing they need is for one of the world's most high-profile bigots to go there and stir the cauldron of hate.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. Wish we could cancel his whole presidency

But we don't have that luxury

[Angry Dragon]

37. but, Putin has open arms

[ancianita]

39. That rube is more trouble than he's worth.

[Cattledog]

40. God save the Queen!

[FakeNoose]

42. Liz has a message for Cheeto

[Cattledog]

47. Ha! +++

[Tommy_Carcetti]

43. On the other hand, his visit to Wee Britain is still on.

[SergeStorms]

48. Good!

The Brits don't need our albatross hanging around their necks as well. As for Trump, unless he's going to be lionized and bowed to for his entire trip, he won't do it. He only performs (and it IS a "performance"!) before hand picked, pro-ignorance dimwits incapable of seeing through the thin veneer of Trump's "Presidential" appearance. He - like George W. Bush when he was "President" - is terrified of facing the majority of Americans who think he's an insulting, incapable, ego-maniacal toad. The Queen told him the golden carriage was going to be in the shop that week as well. If Trump can't sit on gold, he won't sit at all.
