Trump fans sing 'For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow' as Queen greets him at Buckingham Palace
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/3/2019 | Rob Crilly

Queen Elizabeth II greeted President Trump with a warm smile and a booming double gun salute at Buckingham Palace on Monday, as he began his first state visit to the U.K.

They set aside the controversy of his arrival tweets — criticizing the mayor of London — to focus on the ceremony, pomp, and pageantry of the formal occasion.

Trump and the first lady arrived aboard Marine One to be met first by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, before being welcomed by the Queen, 93, who looked vibrant in mint green.

A handful of Trump waiting outside Buckingham Palace erupted in a spontaneous chorus of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” in a small reminder that for all the expected protests Trump is more popular here than in many other European countries. They ended with a "hip hip hooray."(snip)

It is the 113th time the Queen has welcomed a world leader for a state visit. She will not have met many quite like Trump before.

I loved how Trump chatted with the palace Guardsmen during his review.

“She will not have met many quite like Trump before.”

What the heck is that comment (snide remark?) all about? Was that ever said re the One?

Let them make their snide comments. We can deal with it. We wrote the words to “Yankee Doodle”.

Actually, the words were meant to mock Colonial Militia during the French and Indian (global Seven Years) War and were made up to follow a much older Dutch tune. We took it and turned it around to be a good marching tune for the American Army, probably sung on the Washington’s march from New York to Yorktown. So yeah, let Khan and the leftists mock and jeer. We’ll just pitch it back in their faces.

The official visit seemed to get off to a good start. The queen was a gracious host and smiles all around.

The American people share a common heritage with the British people. President Trump and Melania will do well in their visit.

Tacky 'elites' on MSNBC - with their phony British accents - were having a cow this morning over how well Trump was being received...

It was fun watching (and they had a real Brit on - who was quite gracious - further showing up the white trash MSNBC 'elites'.)

“The American people share a common heritage with the British people. President Trump and Melania will do well in their visit. “

Conversely, Sadiq Khan does not share a common heritage with either the British or the Americans.

YES!!

Sad-IQ Khan is making snotty little videos attacking PDJT while he ignores the blood letting in the streets of London.

And Jeremy Corbyn is threatening big protests in the streets against our President. The Globalists are giving the orders in many parts of UK politics.

Corbyn and Khan: two peas is a mussie lovin' pod.

President Trump is brave, going to the UK is going to a place he is definitely not popular

This is what the Brits projected on the Tower of London

I don't understand why the Brits hate President Trump so bad
