It is a sad state of affairs when the media is praying for a debacle on Trump’s big state visit to England. Or at least a scandal of some sorts.
They want to see Trump fail, that much is clear, and were pushing some stories about the inevitable protests rather than on the successes.
Enter Trump who just broke his silence tweeting out:
“London part of trip is going really well. The Queen and the entire Royal family have been fantastic. The relationship with the United Kingdom is very strong. Tremendous crowds of well-wishers and people that love our Country. Haven’t seen any protests yet, but I’m sure the…
….Fake News will be working hard to find them. Great love all around. Also, big Trade Deal is possible once U.K. gets rid of the shackles. Already starting to talk.”
From The Hill: President Trump and first lady Melania Trump were greeted at Buckingham Palace on Monday by Queen Elizabeth II, kicking off the president’s three-day state visit to the United Kingdom.
The queen shook hands with both Trumps against the backdrop of a gun salute before the trio walked into the palace in London, where the first couple is expected to have a private lunch with the queen.

Before greeting the queen, President Trump inspected a group of Grenadier Guards wearing their traditional red tunics and bearskin hats in the palace garden, part of the pomp surrounding a state visit.
The queen presented the Trumps with gifts, giving the president a first-edition abridged version of Sir Winston Churchill’s “The Second World War,” and giving the first lady a “specially commissioned silver box” designed to evoke the ceiling of Buckingham Palace’s music room.
Trump is expected to have tea with Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla later Monday.
Trump’s meeting with the royals should largely avoid the hot-button issues that will dominate the later part of the president’s visit, such as his meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May days before she leaves office.
