Trump lands in Britain! US President arrives for state visit - as he vows to 'go easy' on Starmer
The Daily Mail ^ | 16 Sep 2025 | MATT STRUDWICK

Donald Trump has arrived in Britain tonight for his historic second state visit where he will spend time with his 'friend' King Charles III.

The US President, 79, landed at Stansted Airport on Air Force One and held First Lady Melania's hand as he walked down the aircraft steps.

Melania sported a trench coat from British designer Burberry and black riding boots as she and her husband were greeted by the Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting, on behalf of King Charles.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who opposed his first state visit, shook Trump's hand for about five seconds.

The Maga leader and his 55-year-old wife Melania will now be flown by his Marine One helicopter to the US ambassador's residence Winfield House in Regent's Park, London, where they will stay tonight.

Trump earlier boasted about heading to the UK and spoke of his excitement to see the 76-year-old monarch, whom he described as 'an elegant gentleman'.

'My relationship is very good with the UK, and Charles, as you know, who's now King, is my friend,' he said ahead of boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

'It's the first time this has ever happened where somebody was honoured twice. So, it's a great honour.

'And this one's at Windsor. They've never used Windsor Castle for this before. They use Buckingham Palace.

'And I don't want to say one's better than the other, but they say Windsor Castle is the ultimate, right? So it's going to be nice.'

As long as he doesn’t go “off script” with the King.

State visit?

I liked his last visit where the first thing he did was tell them they were committing suicide with mass immigration.

First president to get two state visits to the UK, right?

Who’s that Hood who greeted him at the airport?

"Melania went with him. That’s good."

Yes, but why is her attire newsworthy? That is an insult to her intelligence, class and beauty.

It says he and the First Lady will be flown to the ambassador’s residence via Marine One. Q: How was Marine One transported to the U.K.? Does it always go where the president goes, even overseas?

Starmer is busy turning the UK into a totalitarian state. There's no one less deserving of having Trump 'go easy' on him.

“Melania sported a trench coat from British designer Burberry and black riding boots...”

I’m the least girly-girl you’d ever want to meet, but she always looks AMAZING, so some of us care what she’s wearing and what Fashion Houses she’s SNUBBING because they were such JERKS to her the first time around.

I own a Burberry coat and riding boots - but they don’t compliment me like they do on, ‘Nothin’ But Legs 24/7’ Trump, LOL!

We could always go back to a FIRST LADY who dresses like ‘Big Mike’ or ‘Doc’ Biden. Ugh! Let’s not even GO THERE!

This will make King Charles “The Weak” very happy.
As Charles is as woke and weak as Starmer.

More than one helicopter travels with the president on such trips. I believe the big C-5Ms are required to transport the latest VH-92A helicopters.
