A small group of hard core Trump hating lefties were left behind in a seething sea of hate and division as most of Britain, starting with the Queen and Royal Family on down joined in putting on the grandest and most heartfelt welcomes for President Trump, First Lady Melania, members of the Trump family and top White House staff. Wherever you looked you found smiles and camaraderie that typify the very best of the Special Relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Even the British publication The Daily Mail, which is routinely negative in it's coverage of Trump just couldn't help gushing day after day. When the Trump's finally left, they ran a story with extraordinary praise for First Lady Melania rejecting all the criticism she receives in the U.S. from the stalwarts of hate and division. It's not hard to see why they loved Melania. She never put a foot wrong. And neither did the President.
For those who remember how badly Obama botched the toast at the State Dinner in his honor at Buckingham Palace in 2011, there was no repeat with Trump. From the moment Marine One, the President's helicopter swooped low over Buckingham Palace and landed on the lawn the entire visit was a huge success.
Looking out the window one wonders if Charles, the Prince of Wales said to the Queen: "look mummy, someone is landing on our lawn!" |
Smiles were an abundant part of this visit underlying it's success for both sides. |
This is what you call the "red carpet" treatment!
The Daily Mail: "Queen Elizabeth II laid on the grandest of welcomes to Donald Trump and his entourage last night, the highest of honours possible for a visiting head of state."
The Trump haters campaign of division and disunity was emphatically rejected by thousands of British who showed up to welcome Trump. The media may focus on the over hyped small protests or the absurd rantings of failed left wing politicians, the people know better.
The trip wasn't just all glamorous dinners and public events. Important moments like honoring those who gave their lives defending our freedom was a constant on this 75th anniversary of D-Day. Below, President Trump and First Lady Melania place a wreath and stand in honor before the grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey.
Later in the Churchill War Rooms, the bunker where Winston Churchill directed World War II the memories of that preserved scene are still fresh to those who visit:
After Westminster Abbey, time for some refreshments. The Trump's joined the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House for Tea.
Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador in London was the scene for another glamorous evening as the President and First Lady prepare to welcome the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
There was plenty of time for serious business in meetings with out going British Prime Minister Theresa May. Even then, the mood was light and cordial:
More somber was the D-Day 75th Anniversary remembrance in Portsmouth from which many soldiers embarked on that fateful day. As always Trump was at the center with the Queen:
Trump, obviously in good spirits at the conclusion of the visit gestures as he readies to board Air Force One for the short trip to Ireland:
Waiting in Ireland, no shortage of admiration from the locals:
Outside the left wing fever swamps of hate and division Trump is spreading the message of strength and allied unity. Newfound respect for America!
