Can we really tolerate a state visit from a US President who TROLLED us after a terror attack?
Yes, we know Donald Trump is a bosom buddy of Theresa May, but he mocked the Mayor of London after a terror attack; why should his forthcoming state visit be allowed to go ahead if he can’t show requisite respect?
Mrs May’s refusal to condemn Mr Trump’s childish behaviour is another nail in her political coffin. She has tacitly endorsed an insult to the United Kingdom.
And it all started on Twitter:
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017
He followed this with a second ill-considered remark, one day later:
Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2017
Mrs May absolutely refused to criticise Mr Trump in any way for his outbursts, in a press conference:
Here’s video of some of those questions and her responses:

Our prime minister won't defend the mayor of our capital from a vicious campaign by Donald Trump. She is weak and an absolute coward.

Trump launches vile attacks on Sadiq Khan
May says nothing to defend Sadiq Khan
She is weak, weak, weak and contemptible— Tom London (@TomLondon6) June 5, 2017
Sadiq Khan is the Elected Mayor of London, May is an insult to her office, we have no space in the UK for Trump who insults or elected Mayor https://t.co/xVs8HmYrcG

This is the will of the country.
We don’t want our government to welcome a US President who insults us after we have been attacked.
And we certainly don’t need a prime minister who won’t condemn the man who utters such an insult.
That is why you should do this:
Vote Labour on Thursday – for our national pride.

Delusional MegaloMayniac: desperate to have Power, not a clue how to exercise Power or use it, just wants to have Power. Wants to be the new Thatcher. Thatcher had extra-special relationship with Ronnie Raygun, so Megalomaniac decides to flirt with Trump and the two of them to lead and inspire the whole world into their great Political dreams based on their own extra-special relationship. Delusional MegaloMayniac fails to realise that Trump is NOT a reliable ally. Delusional MegaloMayniac fails to realise that she and her two closest Special Advisors are incapable of writing a Manifesto, and fail to realise that the Public would see through their rhetoric and irritating catch phrases. Power slips through MegalMayniac’s fingers, her only hope is to tell more lies about Corbyn/Labour.
