The Queen gifted Mr Trump and his wife First Lady Melania Trump a first edition of The Second World War by Winston Churchill
I wonder if she highlighted any passages for him…
Unless that edition is chock-full-o illustrated line art and is accompanied by a box of crayons, you KNOW it’s not getting cracked open.
Perhaps they heard about his copy of Mein Kampf.

FYI, the big inflatable Trump Baby has been approved to fly again during this visit.
It’s certainly fun to have a sort of festival of hating him but at the end of the day, he’s still just a massive, massive piece of shit, and we’re still being personally violated by having “our” “government” claim to welcome him on our behalf.
They also broadcast his and President Obama’s UK approval ratings on the Tower of London. Obama’s was substantially higher.
I think you’ll find that nobody knows numbers better than The Donald, and his numbers are bigly. Truly bigly. Biglier than the Muslim’s. And The Donald should know, because he has a very big, very beautiful - honestly, you wouldn’t believe how beautiful it is, people stop him on the streets and tell him how beautiful it is - brain to put all the bigly numbers in. All the numbers. Even the Muslim ones, although some people say he shouldn’t put Muslim ones in there, but his brain is bigly enough for them and The Donald figures, hey, why not put the Muslim’s numbers in there too? And because they’re both in there, that’s how he knows that his numbers are biglier.
I feel dirty just having written that. Like I should be arrested for assaulting the English language. How can he live with himself after debasing our language like that?
A reminder to those who thought the military would have obeyed the directive to hide the McCain in the first place…
Meanwhile, up in Canada, Obama gets a standing ovation.
You know, all they needed to do was tell Trump that the ship wasn’t named after the senator, but the senator’s dad, a navy admiral.
The ship is named after Senator John S. McCain III.
And his dad, Admiral John S. McCain.
And his granddad, Admiral John S. McCain.
Who said the Navy can’t be cost-conscious?
Even Tokyo was making fun of him (and their prime Minister Abe for pandering to him so obviously).

Abe making a special trophy for Trump to present at Sumo games so Trump can feel special (and relive his WWE days)
Making special seating for Trump at the Sumo games so he wouldn’t have to sit on a floor mat
Trump having a hissyfit over seeing the USS John McCain in the fleet review with Abe
All ended all by Trump shitting all over Abe with threats of tariffs on Japanese goods.
Essentially NHK called Abe out for babysitting a raging dillhole and getting nothing out of it.
Yeah, but you don’t have to tell Donny the whole truth, just tell him “no, no, it’s a different John McCain, not the one you hate so much, it’s the guy who invented frozen french fries-- they eat a lot of those in the navy.”
… or embrace the madness, tell him that Meghan McCain had a sex change to honour her father, and see what happens.
