With Trump still talking about taking Canada/redrawing the borders around the Great Lakes, it is frankly absurd for Charles III who is King of Canada, to be offering Trump a state visit.

“We really want to work on the details of the State visit but that’s really difficult with your current stance on Canada, which HRH is the head of state”.
I mean, the extent to which King Charles is -actually- the King of Canada is like..."We have one federal job and one job in each province that is a cushy do nothing job representing him and...that's it."
Trump wants to be a king. The invitation from an actual king is irresistible to his narcissistic ego. I guess the hope is it will provide some leverage to influence his decisions. But when you're dealing with an amoral sociopath with the emotional maturity of a toddler who knows if it will work.
Difficult situation,actually the the King of England,is not allowed publicly to show a political statement.
What Charles has broken with his speech for Ukraine,when it started.
Yes,he invited Trump, but without a date,and not with whom he will meet in the royal house.It coul be also Princess Ann
Naomi’s just pointing out the double standard on display here - not questioning who made the decision to invite Trump. Few understand UK politics better than her. State visit offer should be put on hold until Trump learns to behave - which of course, he won’t.
👍
I've only seen & heard bit's of that regarding SNP Ian when I think Salmon was in charge 🤷♂️
The "Trumped" podcast is very good only cemented what I already thought of the rest & his twatty ilk
I understand the need for the UK to try and maintain a relationship/bridge... but not now. It's time to stand for what we believe. Trump is with Putin. Let's call him out and move on. Cancel his trip. We owe him nothing, we owe our allies our full support.
A state visit might provide an opportunity for meetings with Trump away from some of his handlers. Although I guess what's the use given he flip-flops so often.

Also, offering a state visit doesn’t mean it will definitely happen … global concerns, availability etc.
Pushing the narcissist button made sense … last week … 😳
