Trump was elected by citizens of our greatest ally ... it is our duty to welcome him here

Matt Hall:

Yes. He’s the democratically elected president of our closest ally. Why wouldn’t you want to welcome him?

Scott McDowell:

Absolutely. But watch the snowflakes come out in force.

Patrick McLarnon:

With all the other despots that have been invited on a state visit, we have to consider who Donald Trump is: the President of the United States. So, the invitation should go to the President’s Office — not the individual.

Ben Freeman:

When he starts to respect people (of all creeds and colours), that is when I’ll welcome him. Much the same with politicians here.

Matthew Marshall:

Whether you like him or not, he is the democratically elected leader of our biggest ally. As well as probably our biggest trading partner.

Tansy Chana:

If America is our greatest ally and they’ve voted for Trump, I don’t think we can call them ‘great’ anymore, can we?

Stephen Bennett:

He might be a bit of a nutter, but he was elected democratically to office. Unlike the Chinese, the Saudis and all the other dictatorships throughout the world, who have the most horrendous human rights issues, but who have been welcomed with open arms to our country.

Brendan Carson:

He was not ‘elected by the citizens of the US’, but by the archaic Electoral College. Clinton received almost three million more votes than Trump.

Robert James Loudon:

The Brits will welcome him — millions of them will be on the streets of London telling him to clear off and don’t come back.

Richard Cruise:

He is the POTUS. I’d hate to see him here, but he is elected. I don’t want the red carpet rolled out for him, though. He has openly attacked the PM and the Mayor of London on Twitter. I could go on and on and on.
