There's been some unpleasant Presidents before but none have ever acted like a spoiled brat.

Re: Trump - President non grata?

I know it is a shock to see a U.S. president stand up for America. Especially after that limp noodle Obama.

He was elected primarily to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. So far, Trump has kept the majority of his promises to the American people.

We were being raped on foreign trade. That has stopped.

Trump promised to deport the 11,000,000 illegal aliens. It is happening.

Under that weakling Obama, ISIS grew to become an international terror. Since Trump became president, ISIS is all but destroyed.

In any event, what do foreigner's care who is in the White House?

Seriously, it's none of their business anyway.

Re: Trump - President non grata?

Reminds me of when Diana died and the Royals were out of step with public opinion and initially refused to fly the flag at half mast on Buck House...they did eventually because they realised they had to.

It's just the same as is happening now in the USA with the death of the senator John McCain

But what's the saying today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip wrapping and for sure it will all blow over and be forgotten.

No you have got that so wrong.

At Buck house the ROYAL STANDARD is flown when the monarch is in residence no other flags flew ever flew before the uproar caused by Dianas death

After Diana's death and the uproar over the Buck house RS flag they started to fly the Union Jack when the queen is not in residence...which is lowered to half mast if any commonwealth head of state dies.

Before that the only flag to fly over Buck house was the Royal Standard.

The royal standard is only flown at half mast when a Monarch dies.

Re: Trump - President non grata?

OK back to subject.

Trump had no time for Macain because of the broadcasts he made as a POW in Vietnam which have just surfaced again after being lost for forty years.

Reminds me of P G Wodehouse.

In 1934 Wodehouse moved to France for tax reasons; in 1940 he was taken prisoner at Le Touquet by the invading Germans and interned for nearly a year. After his release he made six broadcasts from German radio in Berlin to the US, which had not yet entered the war. The talks were comic and apolitical, but his broadcasting over enemy radio prompted anger and strident controversy in Britain, and a threat of prosecution. Wodehouse never returned to England. From 1947 until his death he lived in the US, taking dual British-American citizenship in 1955. He was a prolific writer throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. He died in 1975, at the age of 93, in Southampton, New York.

Re: Trump - President non grata?

As a bloke I find Donald painful and embarrassing to watch and listen to, but as a president who has the best interests of the American people at his heart I can't fault him. If only we had such a strong principled politician like him working for the British people, we wouldn't be in the mess we now find ourselves.

And by not attending he has proved himself not to be a hypocrite as others have done.
