The Trump Organization warns United Kingdom that banning Donald Trump would be a mistake

8:14 a.m. ET

Donald Trump is making good on his promise to "counterpunch" anyone who crosses him — even if it means taking on the entire United Kingdom. Following a scheduled debate in the British Parliament to discuss if Trump's presence in the U.K. would be "non-conducive to the public good," the Trump Organization has warned that if actions follow, they would have consequences, Fox News reports.

The United Kingdom's proposed Donald Trump ban arose after Trump's widely criticized call for a Muslim ban in the United States. British Prime Minister David Cameron has deemed Trump's proposal "divisive, unhelpful, and quite simply wrong." A petition circulating in the U.K. has earned more than 560,000 signatures calling for Trump to be turned away from Britain's borders.

However, according to the Trump Organization, a ban would "alienate the many millions of United States citizens who wholeheartedly support Mr. Trump and have made him the forerunner by far in the 2016 presidential election." Further, the Trump Organization warned that were the U.K. to take any action against its namesake, it would "force The Trump Organization to immediately end [investments in Turnberry] and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom."

Trump isn’t going to be banned. They just have to do this because of the petition. UK should petition to ban Obama and see what happens with a debate in Parliament.

Trump again bully, this time a country. Do you think Iowans have forgotten he called them all stupid? He has the negotiating ability of a loan shark.

Sorry for the misspelling, as too often happens I did not catch the mistake when proofreading the dictation.

Thanks for the excuse to post this another time:

In case you haven’t seen this, here is an interesting angle on Trumps ‘whining’ and his ‘thin skinned’ reactions to attacks.

Oh so if Trump is unwelcome in the UK he should still spend money there to better their failing economy?! WOW. It is his money. Would you finance a place where you were banned?

He didn’t call Iowans stupid, he said they’d be stupid to vote for Carson.

But you already knew that.

But having spend 2 decades reading Civil War primary sources like letters and speeches and such it does jar me a little how far we have fallen as a nation in terms of oratory skills.


It is interesting to read letters from common CW soldiers of 150 years ago. Their writing skill level was beyond the norm of today. Perhaps it’s a function of the technology. When one hand-writes a letter with a quill pen it takes time. You have time to organize your thoughts as you write. Today one blasts a Tweet out to the world in 140 characters in a matter of seconds. It is a totally different animal substituting brevity for speed.

If you are a citizen of Scotland can’t you automatically gain entry to the United Kingdom?

The UK has been pretty much irrelevant for a long time, so who cares?

You are saying God made them MC say the wrong name to punish the pageant for mistreating Trump? What did the pageant do to Trump anyway? I thought it was outsiders who were criticizing Trump?

Please do it. They would HAVE to come crawling back when Trump is elected and we could save some foreign aid money. Plus it will generate even more support for Trump.

Yes, even if the words were misspelled they looked like they strove to make their words elegant. I also have some text books from schools from the Civil War era and these people were reading Greek and Latin as well as Shakespeare so they were not country bumpkins in the south or north.

Also, I got into some heated forum conversations a while back (not here but on HBO's forum) about the TV show Deadwood. I stated we don't know if how people wrote letters was how they talked in every day language. Deadwood had the actors mouth the words they would have written and I was of the opinion in real life they would have used less purple prose to speak. Again off on a tangent.
