Cowardly Trump, too scared to man-up and visit UK because the British hate his guts.

Donald Trump has told Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to go ahead with a state visit to Britain until the British public supports him coming.

The US president said he did not want to come if there were large-scale protests and his remarks in effect put the visit on hold for some time.

The call was made in recent weeks, according to a Downing Street adviser who was in the room. The statement surprised May, according to those present.

Uh, yeah.... that is surely likely.

Looks like they may have had enough of fools for now.

Besides, how can you trust anyone who would not have a pint of your Best Bitter?

They were protesting him in Italy and it wasn't reported here. Only Brussels protests were hinted at. I heard he was also protested in Israel.

And even though I couldn't read the newspapers, everyone I saw had stories about chump in the front page and what little I knew it was not positive. And the pictures were awful of him.

He tried to sue over a windfarm built far out to sea that he said was ruining his golf course.

He tried to claim he was right about Brexit and take credit for it.

He falsely claimed there are no-go Muslim areas in London, where even the police won't go to.

He used the terrorist attacks for his own political agenda, before giving any condolences.

He misrepresented the words of the Muslim mayor of London and then doubled down.

Everything that he represents is seen as repulsive in the UK even to the vast majority of those who support right-wing parties.
