Trump's beloved older brother died of alcoholism. DJT is a teetotaler, himself.
Indeed. When you think about it, that's hugely worrying. Everything he's said has been whilst he's sober.

London part of trip is going really well. The Queen and the entire Royal family have been fantastic. The relationship with the United Kingdom is very strong. Tremendous crowds of well wishers and people that love our Country.
Haven’t seen any protests yet, but I’m sure the Fake News will be working hard to find them.
Great love all around. Also, big Trade Deal is possible once U.K. gets rid of the shackles. Already starting to talk!
Some protest examples from the real world, first the Tower of London.

I think there’s something wonderfully poetic about Jeremy Corbyn boycotting Trump’s visit in part because he believes Trump is a racist whilst his own party is being investigated for racism.
Nice story except it seems Trump refused to meet Corbyn. Guess Trump's ego wouldn't let him meet someone that might disagree with him.

There was some chatter yesterday that the Trump supporters were staging "Look at poor me being attacked by Lefties" scuffles and posting them on the internet but, hey, politics 2019 and all that. It's not about your views it's about being a knobhead for Twitter. Wonder who started all that..?

Fake news. Trump said there weren't any demonstrators.

OTOH I have seen claims that this "victim" was involved in an attack on a Swedish student during a far right demo a few days before and is a known agent provocateur.

The British politicians have made a mess of Brexit but it looks like the British population is not very good in stakeholder management either.

Dunno. Team Trump seems to be drowning it out with its rather cringey air of self-importance in that case...

Jesus, that's toe-curling.

Whilst those who committed assault carry on as they please. What a time to be alive.

Read the article, she did assault someone. Herself. She even managed to draw blood!

This is why children shouldn't be given scissors unattended.

You are moving the goal posts!

"draft dodger; a person who has avoided compulsory military service."

Trump is the only one?

Care to substantiate that? I've no idea what happened after the video, neither I suspect do you. I do read there have been a small number of arrests however.

Has Charles actually served in a war-zone, seen combat?



These days, the only one I can come up with is (Prince) Harry (, Duke of Sussex).


Which is really sobering, considering politicians are sending more people than ever into war-zones around the world (of which there is no shortage).

Didn't the Queen also serve?

Not on the front line, obviosuly, as women weren't allowed to do so at the time. But she did as much as they would allow her to do.
