Rumor is that you turned them off the other day because of what happened with Nigel Farage.

I feel bad for Her Majesty the Queen, who has to pretend to be pleased to see "the children."

And 67 years a head of state, I doubt ERII bothers to pretend much of anything these days.

"So pleased to see you, Your Queenness," Ivanka will probably blurt out. "Oh, my goodness. Did I embarrass myself?"

"It's alright, my dear," Her Majesty would no doubt reply. "We've had our share of incest in British history too, you know."

It will be worth checking out (the disgusting right-wing rag) the Daily Mail because they are right on top of anything royal. Ivanka will need to learn how to curtsey.

Americans with training in proper etiquette never bow to royalty, particularly British!

NEVER.

Inclination of the head and shoulders, perhaps, but not a curtsey or bow as such.

"Become President and see the world tours to far away lands." Jr. will probably even bring the latest grifter, Kimberly Guilfoyle, along on the ride. Hoping the folks in the UK let the drumpf grifters now how they really feel about them.
