And what exactly is he expecting the british to do to prevent people from protesting?

The Queen can’t order beheadings?

“Lock her up!” becomes “Off with her head!”

His Secretary of Commerce [praised Saudi Arabia](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/05/22/the-commerce-secretary-praises-the-lack-of-protest-in-a-country-where-its-punishable-by-death/?utm_term=.944c0f2b8a9d) for not having any anti-Trump protests during his visit. Maybe they expect the UK to be able to do the same.

I can’t imagine for a minute that your dear leader is afraid of facing a few rain-sodden Brits. It’s more likely that the visit is being delayed in order to spend more time working out the complex security arrangements. Can you imagine how hard it’s going to be to negotiate the maze of Muslim no-go areas in our inner cities and the warren of ISIS guerrilla enclaves which so besmirch our countryside. Honestly, looking out of my window here it’s nothing but drizzle, sheep, and hot and cold running insurgents.

Sure, go ahead and think we’re stupid. You’re just trying to distract from the epidemic of killer extraterrestrial Blancmanges.

It is more like you are a clumsy incompetent in your Trump defenses.

Although it still makes me smile to think of your ignorance of the meaning of limited liability in your ‘defense’ of his bankruptcies.

I wasn’t aware the he was previously anti-Trump. You seem to think that that detracts from my point somehow. Whatever.

That’s how the pro-Trumpers are; if it didn’t come from within their bubble of approval it is insignificant or a flat-out lie; and if a criticism comes from WITHIN their pro-Trump bubble then they know that source has abandoned Dear Leader and should no longer be considered trustworthy, ever. I’ll wager Okrahoma will say he has NEVER heard a sound and critical judgment of Cheetolini. Nor has he ever heard praise for HRC that he believed, b/c she and her family are merely balls of negative energy in human form. Any compromise would cause the world to explode.

He only cares about Trump insofar as how Trump is burning the country to the ground. That’s it, really… He wants to see the whole country fucked up.

Nancy Pelosi says that in the first meeting between Trump and Congressional leaders, he told them, “You know I won the popular vote, right?”

If your life is shitty, you have two options. Fix your life, or fuck up everyone else’s.

He has no interest in fixing his own life.
