Trump and his latest tweet.

No apology needed Rhinestone! It is we who should, and some of us do, apologise to the American people for being so discourteous to your Head of State. Even a senior member of the royal family, to our shame,showed a complete lack of the rudiments of good manners. As for senior politicians?!! P.T is a guest in our country and should be treated accordingly, never mind personal feelings. Our "welcome" is both embarrassing and shameful!

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I wasn’t aware that Palestine is now at peace with Israel.

Totally agree Jabberwok.

Which senior member of the royal family showed a lack of manners ?

Yes, I’d like to know that too.

Completely agree jabberwok -well said. As for Harry if he can’t fulfill his royal duties and be polite to the visiting President then give up your title and Royal privileges and go and live as a private citizen.

Me too!

And has peace broken out between Israel and Palestine?
If only!

Ah, it was Harry. Yes Boosgran, Harry should behave appropriately unless he wants to live completely as a private citizen.

No Maw, peace has not broken out in Palestine, despite Corbyn having received a peace prize!

Harry is an entitled little prat . Granny should remind him of the huge privileges he enjoys in return for being polite and welcoming to visiting dignitaries.

Live as a private citizen maddyone don't make me laugh. That might mean getting a job.

Trump courts controversy. He's flown across the Atlantic with a huge amount of security, paraphernalia and his entourage and his aircraft is preparing to land at the start of a state visit and he thinks,^ 'I know what I'll do. I'll fire off an insulting tweet about the Mayor of the City of London telling him he's a stone cold loser.'

That is an insult to the figure of the Mayor of our Capital, it was an insult to the Queen and the British people. Criticising the Mayor of New York in no way mitigates against the level of the insult.

Why? What goes through his head and why can't his aides or anyone with an ounce of sense advise him against it?

It was an aggressive act by Trump. Khan should have ignored it in my view however, be that as it may, he responded in similar tone and it wasn't pleasant.

Trump should not have sent that Tweet.

Did Harry crack a tantie?

Please tell!

I still think we should set Kirstie on them.

She'll sort them all out.

Did anyone see Sadiq Khan's interview this morning - news.sky.com/video/sadiq-khan-trump-is-far-right-poster-boy-11734655
I dread to think what Trump will tweet in response!

Yes, sadly Prince Harry!! Maybe, standing up to a strong minded wife could be proving difficult for Harry!

Harry is human. He was civil. Why would he be overtly welcoming to the man who, as others on this thread say, doesn't give a sh1t and 'says it as it is' as though that's something to be admired?

" Whatever American or British people think of Trump, the fact remains that he is Head of State of our most powerful ally and we should all respect the position if not the man. "

I am not sure that Trumpland is our most powerful ally. That country is at least as beleaguered by extremist right politics as are we ourselves. I think our most powerful defenders are no longer nation states but the free media.

Our 27 fellow EU countries are together stronger and these are our true allies. Trump's America is a land of protectionist climate change deniers who see all other countries in terms of what they can get for themselves.

This is certainly not the USA of 75 years ago. Leaving the EU would irreparably damage our security and leave us all the more vulnerable to those who do not have our best interests at heart, but talk about "America first".

Well I think it was Boosgran who made the suggestion originally Gilly, I can’t take the credit for that. Mind you, he’s a multi millionaire in his own right, so I don’t suppose he would need to work.

That could be an interesting debate Alexa.

Whaddya think I mean FFS?!

(Strutting around by her old feller's side, looking vaguely glamorous, and being polite to people}

Most in my singing group this morning were going along to Finsbury Park station to sing anti Trump protest songs. They also went along to Extinction Rebellion to sing a few weeks back...such a 'right on' group of Crouch Enders!

I must have been the only one who wouldn't go. I do love the singing though.

Harry did what his position as a minor royal required same as Andrew, escorted Trumps family , didn’t see a close up of the family on the balcony but I expect Harry was there. He was in the room when the queen was showing Trump items from the royal collection

* Obama, I meant to type!

Well according to Trump everything is on the table in any future trade deals, including the NHS. Help!

So what did Harry do? <puzzled>
