Come on, Cranky. THIS is a "story"?? Tabloid bullshit. According to more "Sources"?? Chyeah....
Maybe not. Trump announced right after inauguration his plans to visit Britain this summer, make some big Brexit deal, and meet the queen. There was reporting that the queen had agreed to meet with him but some members of Parliament and the public were objecting strongly, also the Muzzie mayor of Londonistan.
