"My mother was a big fan of the queen!"

Oh dear God, please let me wake from this nightmare. Trump is making unsupervised calls to foreign leaders with no briefings or guidance from anyone . The transition hasn't even checked in with State Department or the Pentagon yet.

Check this out:

Donald Trump revealed that his late mother was a big fan of the Queen during his first phone call with Theresa May. The US president-elect also asked the prime minister to pass on his regards at her next audience at Buckingham Palace, according to sources.

The two leaders held a ten-minute conversation last Thursday lunchtime during which he called the UK a “very special place for me and my country”.

As well as invoking his late mother, Mary, who was born in Scotland, Mr Trump offered a casual, open-ended invitation for Mrs May to get in contact if she crosses the Atlantic.

“If you travel to the US, you should let me know,” he told her, according to an official transcript of the conversation. The informality of the invitation raised eyebrows among British officials.

4. I'm sure the queen would be flattered!

Theresa May is probably laughing her ass off right now. He is such a buffoon!

9. I had this horrible image flash through my mind

of the Queen meeting Trump and Melania for the first time (of course she's 90, she can always use age as in excuse to make Charles or William deal with...or maybe insult him by giving the job to a lesser royal).

Then I thought of the scene in the original "Arthur" when John Gielgud meets Liza Minnelli and says "Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature."

I can imagine the Queen saying that to Melania (or at least thinking it).
