Trump State Visit to UK on Hold.

Yes_Minister said:
If people are insulted by such things, then so be it. I don't see why people in the UK should give up their right to protest simply to appease Trump's supporters. Trump supporters do not have a right to dictate how other democracies exercise their rights and I think anyone who is insulted by such things should get over it.

Freedom does not mean you get your way all time or you get protected from being insulted, in free socities people will protest causes you do not like.

Nobody said or probably even thought that anyone should give up their right to exercise their rights. Why don't you at least try to think logically?

Maybe you should rethink that. Just because "the good people" are protesting legally, it doesn't mean that it isn't an insult. Personally I don't feel hurt, but one could interpret it as a rather foolish insult.

Ok insult. But why is it foolish?

Because insulting people is foolish. This is especially true, when it is done as selfsaticefaction.

You put a guy with known qualities out there to represent you, you are being a hypocrite to say you are ashamed of him acting out those qualities. You did it. That is the embarrassment.

Speak for yourself. I didn't vote for this moron.

Trump's motivation for attacking the Mayor of London. That and feeding his Islamophobic deplorable base.

If this is your idea of logic...

It is misplaced shame, if such you feel. There's no reason to be ashamed of the President. He was elected to the job by the American voters; it was well known, how he is; it was the American people and so presumably you that elected him. So be ashamed of yourself.

...I'll pass

Except the people who get insulted by this are the same people who look for excuses to get insulted, often over really small things.

I have no respect for people who insult easily and are easily insulted, Trump and his supporters insult people all the time, I don't care if they are insulted, their feelings are meaningless to me. Trump supporters have long ago lost any moral right to be insulted.

If someone in another country protested against Obama when he was president, would that be an insult?

Republicans can't complain about "liberal snowflakes" and have such fragile egos.

What are arguing for, that it is insult that British people to exercise their rights and protest a figure they do not like?

I wonder if Trump supporters admire dictatorships more then other democracies.

Perhaps he just prefers waiting to see who will end up in charge of the UK.

As usual compared to what?

The Brits have always been very close to Americans and us to them. If anything it is Trump they do not like. Hell, most Americans do not like Trump. Why should the Brits? Actually Brits and Americans generally agree in their dislike and distrust of Trump.

Most Americans are okay with Trump. There are the leftwingers who are still embarrassed that he defeated their candidate Hillary Von Pantsuit.

Perhaps and waiting a couple months to see how the political situation in the UK is not a bad idea.

But then again, if Corbyn manages to put together a coalition and form a government, will Trump simply avoid the UK for the next 4 years? Trump will have to deal with leaders he doesn't like, whether he wants to or not.

No they are not - 34% approval rating says your post is bull****.

Being the total *****, Trump is afraid of protests in the UK and slithered away from visiting.

Is protesting the actions and policies of any elected leader an insult or is this specific to Trump or America?

Trump may have better luck with regimes that think like his regime. Civilized people aren't fans of Trump.

Interesting. If I am a fan of Trump, in what way would I be 'uncivilized?'

Ofcourse Trump will not avoid the UK for the next 4 years. However he might wait a bit and let the brits fight out who is in charge first. The visit that was canceled was planned well in advance of the election that May called.
 
This thread appears to be based upon #FAKENEWS:

Prime Minister Theresa May's office said on Sunday there had been no change to plans for U.S. President Donald Trump's to come to Britain on a state visit, after the Guardian newspaper reported the trip had been postponed.

The paper, citing an unidentified adviser at May's Downing Street office who was in the room at the time, reported Trump had told May by telephone in recent weeks that he did not want to come if there were likely to be large-scale protests.

"We aren’t going to comment on speculation about the contents of private phone conversations," a spokeswoman for May's office said. "The queen extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the UK and there is no change to those plans."

The White House also denied the Guardian report, with an administration official telling Reuters, "The subject never came up on the call."

But then those approval ratings are probably from the same pollsters who predicted that Hillary Von Pantsuit would be our next president.
