The Queen 'Set To Invite Donald Trump to Britain'

The president-elect reportedly told Theresa May that his mother had been a 'big fan' of the Queen Laura Hughes 20 NOVEMBER 2016 • Donald Trump will receive an invitation to meet with the Queen in the summer of next year, according to reports.

Ministers believe the Queen is their "secret weapon" and Theresa May will use the state visit to help strengthen the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States.

The US president-elect reportedly told the Prime Minister during a phone call last week that his late Scottish mother had been a "big fan" of the Queen. The Sunday Times reports that plans to roll out the red carpet and offer Mr Trump a meeting with the Queen are now being drawn up in Whitehall. A formal invitation will be made after he is sworn in as president on Jan 20. A source who had discussed the issue with a cabinet minister said: "The government has decided that their secret weapon to get in with Trump is to offer him an early visit to the Queen, him and [his wife] Melania staying at Windsor Castle." Another cabinet source said: "The Queen is the key here.

Not going to hold my breath but I’d love it if President Trump declined the invitation until Her Majesty lifted the travel restriction on Michael Savage.

I thought he was banned from speaking in the UK.
Is the ban lifted now?

I completely agree.

And Michael Savage, has been supporting Trump forever.

That is a very good idea. Trump, arrange for Savage to get a reprieve from the PC police, in England.

He’s been a strong supporter of you, for a long time.

He talked about his mothers great respect for the Queen in Objectify on FOX. The relationship between the US and U.K. Needs to be refreshed after the way the Obama regime has treated them

And Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. These people dared to tell the truth about Islam.

A royal decree(invitation) is a royal decree.

What are they going to do, tell her she can’t do it?

That’ll go down well, I imagine.

Outside her purview I believe. You would have to speak to Parliament about that.

Don’t forget to bring the bust of Winston Churchill back to the White House, Trump!

Donald Trump’s mother was a subject of the Queen, of course he would respond positively to the Queen’s invitation. Some ties are much stronger than others.

And perhaps the Queen shall return the bust of Winston Churchill, which was so unceremoniously thrown back at the English people by the Current Occupant.

Some may think The Donald to be rude and crude, but he is actually a very gracious and circumspect person, and does display considerable decorum when in the presence of others who are also disposed to be courteous.

That is a poor idea, and I don’t believe the Queen had anything to do with it.

He should make Savage an Ambassador to Britain, that way he has Diplomatic Immunity. Drive the House of Commons absolutely Spoldy Head...

Dammit! Fine. Why do I always have to do everything myself?

Awright. I'll make travel arrangements. But first, I'll have to set up a gofundme account.

Oh. Wait. I just had a great idea. I'll start a new online giving website. I'll call it gofundaFReeper.

Anybody got a couple bucks laying around?

She certainly is kicking over the globalist traces lately.

Good for her!

I wonder if Trump is busy downloading his greatest speeches onto a iPod for the queen to listen to.

I’m pretty sure that The Queen doesn’t make that kind of protocol decision. Maybe the Prime Minister.
Don’t even think of asking the new Muslim Mayor of London what he thinks about it all.
