Why? if there is somebody who can talk down trump it’s the king.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tries to buy the palace in return for lifting tariffs and us bending over for the US as usual.

Even if the threats to greenland isn’t considered justification enough, the direct tariff threats should be.

I’m normally inclined to let the royals and the politicians suck it up to the US: it’s their job…but this time around we need to push back vigorously. A royal snub would be the perfect first step.

I was on board with this visit initially, as I considered it an unfortunate but necessary diplomatic exercise to keep the psychotic paedophile on our side. But I would fully support rescinding the offer and telling him to fuck off until he stops bullying supposed ‘allies’.
He has shown time and time again that buttering him up gets you nowhere. He will just rip up and renege on whatever agreement was made when he thinks of something else he wants to extort from us.
Appeasement does not work. You just end up contorting yourself further and further in knots trying to satisfy them while getting absolutely nothing in return.

We’re beyond the “Lets talk him down” and “Let’s try to reason with him” point. There’s only one way to deal with this lunatic now and we all know what that way is
At this point, Charles’s visit to the US looks more like appeasement than anything else.
tiny-robot on
A US visit just seems stomach churning awful now.
I don’t care if Trump backs down later – there needs to be some tangible consequences for making the threat in the first place – and cancelling all Royal visits seems a good first step.
Cynical_Classicist on
He should, but I suspect that he’s too much of a coward, who still listens to that Glasman crap about how Trump is key to winning the working class. We can’t work with Trump. The fascist takes our attempts to butter him up and screws us over.

Why are we sending our head of state to a hostile country that just kidnapped another head of state?

The petty side of me think that since we wasted loads of money on a pointless visit from them, they should do the same back.

Didn’t Charles have to pause his cancer treatment for a trip to Australia? If he has to do that again he should cancel. Not worth it.

Odds on trump asking Charles for his crown “as a gift”

Why are we rolling out the red carpet for a complete nincompoop… he’s a donkey ape that deserves no pomp and pageantry.
It’s like rewarding your kid for doing something naughty rather than gentle but stern behaviour realignment.

Starmer must feel like a right chump after rolling out the red carpet for the cunt, then having his promised trade deal cancelled and now realising the US is not even a proper ally any more. Rejoin the EU FFS.

As Trump wants to be a king, being around kings gives him a boner. Maybe King Charles can tell him stuff only kings can. Like ‘touch Greenland and Epstein will be the least of your worries’.
Prisoner3000 on
Charles really isn’t very bright. In fact, the royals are pretty much unanimously thick and rely on their “people” to tell them what to say. Charlie is a pro fox hunting adulterer who once lobbied for homeopathy to be available on the NHS
On second thoughts maybe he and Donnie do get on…
Nuthetes on
Nah, Trump loves royalty. King Chuck is one of the few people on the planet who can potentially make him see sense.
Swimmy on
I’ll await the BBC article ‘Trump apprehends King Charles on state visit’ along with some bonkers both-sidesing as to whether it would be fine normal legal behaviour.

We keep the trip but put the crown on a guy who really looks like Putin just to see how Trump reacts
LyingFacts on
Is this something a PM can actually do? I thought PM was ‘below’ the King in this type of situation?

King: “We know what you did, Trump. My brother was there.”
FoxtrotThem on
I’d just flip the script; its what Trump will respect – okay so Tariffs on us tomorrow and increasing in June until we move on Greenland, so we do the same with a visit from the King, which is that it won’t happen while there are tariffs in place and continued noise about Greenland.
CastleofWamdue on
the UK is so weak, it is utterly pathetic. We should be standing beyond united with Europe and any other part of the world who wishes to jon us in objection to Trump.
Yet now all we do is make token objection to his disguisting behaviour, and hope its enough to save face. It will never be.
Russia has done a real number on both the UK and USA , and I think I will be forever totally divorced from UK polotics for the rest of my life, simply because I live in objective reality and call Nazi shit, Nazi shit when I see it.
Peter Mandleson deserved everything he got from his assocation with Esptein, but it looks hollow as Keir cosys up to Trump, who treats him and us with no regard what so ever.
litivy on
At this point a discussion on regime change in the US is more appropriate. There is recent precendent for this set by the demented turd himself.

Talking is over for Orange. Time to start embargoing or sanctioning us.
You’re not going to get rid of leaders like Orange until his **voters** face heavy, direct consequences, because the only language they speak is money. Make sure the consequences are fierce and can’t be fuffed off to Biden or Hillary or whatever the hell else have you.

Oh absolutely. Don’t give him the attention he so desperately craves. Appeasement never works. Tell him to do one, he’s already played the tariff card and is running out of things to threaten us with before we just adapt to being able to sever from almost all aspects of our economic ties.
Common-Ad6470 on
This trip should be cancelled. Deny the Trumpette any oxygen.
BasicWeekend9479 on
Appeasement doesn’t and never has fucking worked.
Hitting the American economy won’t work as Trump does not give one solitary shit about anyone but himself.
You need to ignore and embarrass him. Cancel the trip and explain exactly why.
